Communication method, system, devices and software arranged to operate in this system and devices

A system for communicating control and guidance information, or any other messages, or data information between different devices (1, 2, 5, 6) like mobile or fixed devices like telephone, mobile phones, wireless modules, computers, servers, a messaging centre, or any other device via a telecommunication network (like GSM, UMTS, Fixed networks and the like) by making a (telephone) call from a calling device (like 1) to a receiving device (like 2 or 5 or 6), the system comprising means (like application programs) arranged for communicating any control or guidance information, or any messages, data, defined by predetermined time values ranging from ringing time or lengths of calls to time values representing a bit of information like letter “A, B” or predetermined number of ringing signals observed in said calling or receiving device, said time values or ringing signals used to automatically carry out any required function (like switching on sauna or displaying a message, or as a message to be displayed) in or via at least one receiving device (like 2 or 5 or 6) after said call is automatically terminated by said calling device according to at least one of said predetermined criteria (ringing time, or ringing signals, or length of call) without needing the user of said calling device to hang up said call.

A software product used in or in connection with a device (1 or 2) of a communication system (like GSM, UMTS, fixed network, internet etc.), said device ranged from mobile phone, telephone, computer, to PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) and the like devices, or in memory cards (such as SIM or other attachable/detachable memory means) used in connection with said device (1, 2), said software product comprising means arranged for communication of control and guidance information, or any messages and data information, from a calling device (like 1) to a receiving device (like 2), defined by predetermined time values ranging from ringing time or length of call or a time value representing a bit of information like letter “A” to predetermined number of ringing signals, said time values or ringing signals used for automatically activation of any required function or application (like switching on sauna, or displaying a message, or as a message to be displayed) in or via said receiving device after said call is automatically terminated by said calling device according to said predetermined criteria (ringing time, or ringing signals, or length of call) without needing the user to hang up said call.

A memory means (like smart card, SIM, or other memory means attachable/detachable to a communication device like GSM UMTS or the like terminals, 1, 2) for arranging communication of control and guidance information, or any messages and data information between a calling device (like 1) and a receiving device (like 2) via a telecommunication network (like GSM, UMTS, Fixed networks etc.), said memory means comprising means (like application programs) arranged to transmit any control or guidance information, or any messages, or data from said calling device to said receiving device defined by predetermined time values like ringing times or lengths of calls or a time value representing a bit of information like letter “A” or by the number of ringing signals that are predetermined to carry out any required predetermined function (like switching on sauna, or displaying a message) in or via said receiving device after said call is automatically terminated by said calling device according to said predetermined criteria (ringing time, or ringing signals, or length of call) without needing the user to hang up said call.

A receiving device (like 2 or 5 or 6) for using in a system as claimed in any preceding claim, comprising at least one of,

• means arranged for receiving telephone calls predetermined by ringing times or lengths of calls or ringing signals used to transmit any control or guidance information, or any messages, or data from a calling device (like 1) to a receiving device (like 2 or 5 or 6) after said call is automatically terminated by said calling device according to said predetermined criteria (ringing time, or ringing signals, or length of call) without needing the user to hang up said call;
• means arranged for receiving information defined by time values, representing a piece of information (like letter “A, B, a, b” etc.), used to define the data entered, read, received or selected in said calling device, in form of a time values for playing a voice or sound signal according to the length of said time value (like 1 second) over a telephone call for said receiving device wherein or via which said voice or sound signal is translated to restructure or combine the original data as selected or entered in said calling device.

A computer program or software product loadable into the memory means of a device ranged from mobile phone, telephone, wireless modules, computers, server, to PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) or any other devices (1, 2) or in memory cards (such as SIM or any other attachable/detachable memory means) used in connection with said devices (1, 2), comprising software code portions for performing, as much as required, the steps of any preceding claim when said product is run on said device.
