Communications system for anonymous calls
First Claim
1. An audio caller communication system configured to communicate via a public communications network where each audio caller communications system has at least one call ID for identification and for a connected call with at least one audio callee communication system through a communications channel that can be open or closed, the audio caller communication system comprising;
- at least one audio unit configured to sound a voice sound to a user using the audio caller communication system and from the at least one audio callee communication system;
at least one microphone configured to receive the voice sound from the user using the audio caller communication system;
a position unit configured to estimate a current caller position of the audio caller communication system;
an orientation unit configured for estimating a current caller orientation of the audio caller communication system and a caller field of view in the caller orientation of the audio caller communication system;
which audio caller communication system is configured to communicate with a shared connection server about the current caller position, the caller orientation and the call ID of the audio caller communication system, and tomake the at least one call ID available as a caller ID via the shared connection server for a call signal to the at least one audio callee communication system for a connection through the communications channel as a function of at least the current caller position and/or at least the current caller orientation.

Abstract
This invention relates to an audio caller communication system, an audio callee communication system, a shares connection server and method of initiating a call signal between or connecting an audio caller communications system with an audio callee communications system through a communications channel via a shared connection server, the method comprising initiating a call signal or connecting the at least one audio callee communication system with at least one audio caller communication system through the communications channel via the shared connection server as a function of at least one callee position of the audio callee communication system and; and at least one caller position and/or at least one caller orientation of the audio caller communication system. The caller system, the callee system and the shared connection system are configured to perform such method.

6. An audio callee communication system configured to communicate via a public communications network where the audio callee communications system has at least one call ID for identification and for a connected call with at least one audio caller communication system through a communications channel that can be open or closed, the audio callee communication system comprising;
-
at least one audio unit configured to sound a voice sound to a user using the audio callee communication system and from the at least one audio caller communication system; at least one microphone configured to receive the voice sound from the user using the audio callee communication system; a position unit configured to estimate a current callee position of the audio callee communication system; which audio callee communication system is configured to communicate with a shared connection server about the current position and the call ID of the audio callee communication system, and to make the at least one call ID available as a callee ID via the shared connection server for a call signal from the at least one audio caller communication system for a connection through the communications channel as a function of at least the current callee position. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
at least an audio callee communications system about at least one call ID as a callee ID and at least the current callee position; and which shared connection server is configured to connect at least one audio callee communication system with at least one audio caller communication system through a communications channel as a function of at least one callee position and; at least one caller position and/or at least one caller orientation.

11. A shared connection server according to claim 10, wherein the caller ID of the at least one audio caller communication system and the callee ID of the at least one audio callee communication system are made publically available via the shared connection server for connecting at least one audio caller communication system with at least one callee communication system without disclosing;
-
the callee ID to the at least one audio caller communication system and/or; the caller ID to the at least one audio callee communication system.

-
12. A shared connection server according to claim 10, wherein
the at least one caller position and the at least one caller orientation of the audio caller communication system and/or the at least one callee position of the audio callee communication system are made publically available via the shared connection server for connecting at least one audio caller communication system with at least one callee communication system.
-
13. A method of initiating a call signal between or connecting an audio caller communications system with an audio callee communications system through a communications channel via a shared connection server, the method comprising;
-
initiating a connection between an callee and caller communication system, configuring at least one microphone to receive the voice sound from the audio caller communications system to the callee communications system; configuring a position unit to estimate a current caller position and orientation of the audio caller communication system; configuring the shared connection server to receive information from the positioning unit about the current caller position, caller orientation and caller ID of the audio caller communication system, and making at least one call ID available as a caller ID via the shared connection server for a call signal to the at least one audio callee communication system for a connection through a communications channel as a function of at least the current caller position and/or at least the current caller orientation; configuring an orientation unit configured for estimating a current caller orientation of the audio caller communication system and a caller field of view in the caller orientation of the audio caller communication system. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
