The Brazilian who invented the telephone caller ID: BINA

The Brazilian who invented the telephone caller ID: BINA

B in A, is the meaning of BINA.

I was there at the technical school located in Asa Sul, Brasilia, in the building where a number of entities and educational institutions operated, including CETEB, which was the institution of the school group that taught electronics techniques, electricity techniques and construction techniques civil, the other institutions that operated there were the UNEB college, and the second degree supplementary course.

In 1972, I was studying electronics technique, whose agreement with the Educational Foundation of the Federal District, which administers first and second-grade public education for the Federal District State, established an agreement with CETEB so that second-grade students to study in the professionalization courses mentioned, which were: electricity, electronics and civil construction.

In the two years that the training lasted, following the professional internship and the professional technician registration at CREA DF, I never applied to obtain the certification of Electronics technician at CREA.

There were more or less thirty students in our class, and there was a group of four nerds, I highlight the colleagues called: Tadeu and Roberto, these four were always bragging that they were developing a project to identify telephone calls that would be called BINA, these nerds already knew everything about data processing, microprocessors and knew how to record and change the recording of machine instructions in the EPROM Erase Programmed Random Memory, a writable random access memory through infrared rays it was possible to leave programs recorded on the chips as is done even today, as long as you know the programming codes in low-level language and with the appropriate recorders.

I didn't even know what computers were, there weren't many models of computers, it was the beginning of the computer age, teleprocessing didn't exist, and communication between computers was through magnetic tapes, magnetic disks, floppy disks, and paper cards. pierced.

That group of four 16-year-old teenagers was competing to create a telephone call identification system, competing with several models under development and testing at the state-owned telephone company in the Federal District, Telebrasília, and EMBRATEL Empresa Brasileira de Telecomunicações, which had launched our first national fixed-orbit satellite purchased from the USA and launched by NASA for TV communications and telephone communications signals via satellite in stationary orbit 36,000 km above the earth synchronized with the rotation of the earth appearing to remain stationary over a point on the earth.

So these four boys were determined to use a different approach, instead of relays and electronic valves, they went for a system that used digital programming in the circuits of the telephone network and with a device located on the user side of the system and the exchange exchanging information in line it would be possible to identify the number that originates the phone call B in A the phone to which the call is directed even before the call is completed, and record these calls and call attempts, so that the person would know who made the call to your handset even before completing the call.

But there were two big problems: they were minors, and the telephone company needed to participate in the project allowing the installation and testing of equipment without altering and harming the telephone system.

What I was told is that an agreement was reached with the president of Telebrasília, Danton Jobim, an engineer formed by ITA, and to officially assume authorship and technical responsibility for the project, a telephone technician would sign the project and be the author of the registration in his name on the Ministry of Communications and at the INPI National Institute of Industrial Property, the boys would have a drawer contract guaranteeing that the arrangement would be fulfilled after reaching the age of majority, which never happened, because everyone thinks that the creator of the BINA who is registered with the INPI and even on Wikipedia it's the figurehead called Nélio José Nicolai.

This testimony will definitely shock many people, maybe the whole world, what I can say is that there are at least 20 people in Brasilia who studied with me in those two years who testify to everything I'm saying, maybe it was the biggest fraud in all of history of humanity, after the theft of the patent of the Beetle of the company Tatra Checa by NSU and later manufactured by Volkswagen whose revelation in this internet network I made more than ten years ago having been my post removed from Google by unknown authorities of my person causing me fear and apprehension until the Story has been widely publicized.

But I will tell you in another post that the Internet was invented in Brazil I was at SERPRO Federal Service for Data Processing dated in 1974 when Engineer José Dion de Melo Teles created the first Data Entry eliminating the perforation of very expensive cards and eliminated air pouches for transporting data on magnetic tapes, then interconnected computers via modem which was also a Brazilian invention and hence Forward the internet was the next step with the interconnection of computers via radio signal, then via satellites and telephone cables and we are all dependent on the internet, another embryonic invention of Brazilians.
