SAMSUNG F490 - Wide Touch Screen Multimedia Phone

London, 10 January 2008 - SAMSUNG Mobile has today announced the launch of the new SAMSUNG F490, a powerful high speed multimedia phone with a touch sensitive 16:9 wide screen and intuitive user interface. The SAMSUNG F490 will be available in the UK from mid-February. After being launched in the UK and Europe, it will be introduced to the U.S. and Asian markets.

The SAMSUNG F490’s debut comes amid rising popularity of touch screen technology. With a class-leading 3.2 inch 16:9 wide screen, the SAMSUNG F490 provides a panoramic view of pictures or videos as well as a larger screen space for Internet surfing. To make Internet browsing easy and enjoyable, the SAMSUNG F490 also features the Google search engine optimised for mobile use and full Internet browser for viewing web pages both vertically and horizontally.

At just 11.8mm deep, the new handset’s slimline design features rounded corners and a glossy surface that looks chic, making the SAMSUNG F490 a pleasure to hold and use. The stylish and intuitive 'Croix UI' user interface, which won the iF Communication Design Award 2007, involves two bars that cross-hatch, enabling users to control the phone’s many features by simply tapping and dragging.

For example, the intuitive nature of the user interface is demonstrated during song playback where users can easily move left/right to rewind/fast forward and move up/down to adjust volume. This addition of the ‘Croix UI’ interface brings new levels of usability to the SAMSUNG F490 and makes basic navigation, Internet browsing, task management and other activity easier than ever before. Furthermore, haptic feedback from the phone’s keypad offers tangible assurance that a command has been inputted.

From listening to music to snapping photos and video with its 5 megapixel digital camera, the SAMSUNG F490 boasts the very latest in audio and video technology. For connectivity and storage purposes it combines the standard 3.5mm audio jack, support for compatible microSD cards and 130MB internal memory.

The SAMSUNG F490 is geared to offer the ultimate multimedia experience with fast HSDPA connectivity. Downloading large files, streaming videos, and holding video conversations is all easier than ever with speeds as fast as 3.6Mbps. The handset also features Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0 so that users will also be able to connect to a range of peripherals including wireless headsets and mobile printers.

The SAMSUNG F490 will be available in the UK from the mid-February. For more information, please visit www.samsungmobile.com

Enhanced Full Rate will give you much better sound quality when you enable it. The new Enhanced Full Rate CODEC adopted by GSM uses the ASELP (AlgebraicCode Excitation Linear Prediction) compression technology. This technology allows for much great voice quality in the same number of bits as the older Full Rate CODEC. The older technology was called LPC-RPE (Linear Prediction Coding with Regular Pulse Excitation). Both operate at 13 kilobits.(but you take up more space on the network, so they can charge you more) - Talk-time is reduced with about 5%

Building a GSM Alarm




Update:
Arduino version coming soon.(will drastically reduce the total cost)


Material Used:
1 - BasicX24
1 - Lynxmotion Mini-ABB as carrier board for the BX24
1 - PIR Sensor Pyronix KX15ED
1 - Old 5V Samsung Cellphone Charger
1 - 9V Power Supply
2 - 9V batteries
1 - Siemens C35


AT Commands & BX24<->Cellphone Communication:
- You may have heard AT commands when talking about old dial-up modems, since these set of commands were used to control the modem and its connections, in case of serial modems these commands were sent over a serial port.
- The thing that some of you dont know is that today cellphones support and use a set of commands called (AT Commands) that are very alike to their old brothers, you can access them via bluetooth if you phone has a serial protocol service or dial-up service over bluetooth or by cable using a simple hyperterminal like tool.
- In this case i connected 2 ports of a BasicX24 directly to the phones RX-TX, well not directly since BasicX24 is TTL (5V) and the RX-TX pins in the cellphone work better at 3V, i say better because with 5V i were able to communicate with the cellphone but when the connection was made the phone lost all the network signal so with 5V you can only access phone functions memory etc, no sms neither calls. Im not sure if this happens in all the phones but in this case (Siemens C35) it happened, to resolve this problem, a interface was built to downgrade the voltage from 5V to 3V, i used a voltage divider with a 12K and a 18K resistors.

- "Comparison chart of AT+C commands of GSM devices"
- "Siemens Lumberg cell phone special connector Pinout"
- "Siemens AT Commands"

BasicX24:
- In order to comunicate with the cellphone like i said before, 2 ports were used, these ports were configured to function like RX TX of COM3.
- Another port was used as input to the PIR sensor, that is gona be used to detect movement like those cheap light sensors.

To be Implemented in near future:
- Since this cellphone has 2 pins to use with an external microphone, im thinking on using this to amplify the cellphone microphone in order to be able to listen what is happening in the remote place.


How it Works:
Power:- There is a 9v power supply connected to a pair of 9V batteries, these bats are connected in parallel and are powering the BX24 and PIR sensor. The other power supply is an old 5V Samsung cellphone charger that was dismanteled, i use this one to keep the siemens C35 charged, so if the power goes down i have 400mah(200+200) storaged in batteries for the Microcontroller and PIR Sensor and the cellphone battery for its own, this should be enough to keep the alarm online for a few hours.

Software Logic:



Notes:
- It is really easy to change the alarm mode, for example if you wanted the alarm to call you instead of using sms just change the at command that is sent when the PIR sensor triggers.
- The sms that is sent is an sms storaged in the cellphone memory this way i dont need to send the sms PDU thru the wires, i just order the phone to send that sms to the specified cellphone number :)
- Alot more sensors can be added since we are only using 3 ports of the BX24 and can group them in zones whatever, like all my other work it can be upgraded in something alot more bigger, this is just a good starting point.
