Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Zurverfügungstellen von ortsbezogenen Datendiensten an Fahrzeuge, welche sowohl Onboard-Units zur Kurzstreckenkommunikation mit Mautbaken bekannter Orte in einem Straßenmautsystem als auch Mobilterminals zum Datenempfang in einem Mobilfunknetz mitführen.The present invention relates to a method for providing location-based data services to vehicles, which carry both on-board units for short-distance communication with toll beacons known places in a road toll system and mobile terminals for data reception in a mobile network.

Straßenmautsysteme, die ein Netz geografisch verteilter Mautbaken mit lokal begrenzten Kommunikationszonen verwenden, um Fahrzeuge durch Kurzstreckenkommunikation mit deren Onboard-Units (OBUs) auf den Ort der Mautbake zu lokalisieren, zeichnen sich durch hohe Zuverlässigkeit und präzise Lokalisierung aus. Allerdings ist das Datenvolumen, das über solche Kurzstreckenkommunikationen ausgetauscht werden kann, durch deren geringe Reichweite und die Geschwindigkeit der Fahrzeuge stark begrenzt: In der Regel ist nur ein kurzes Datentelegramm möglich, welches vordringlich die Gerätekennung der Onboard-Unit enthält, um diese im Straßenmautsystem zu identifizieren, bevor das Fahrzeug die Kommunikationszone einer Mautbake wieder verlässt. Großvolumige mobile Datendienste werden heutzutage über 2G-, 3G- oder 4G-Mobilfunknetze (GPRS, UMTS oder LTE usw.) mit Mobilterminals wie Mobiltelefonen, PDAs, Handheld-PCs, Webpads usw. genutzt, die vom Benutzer im Fahrzeug mitgeführt werden oder in dieses oder in dessen Onboard-Unit integriert sein können. Die Lokalisierungsgenauigkeit von Mobilterminals in solchen Mobilfunknetzen ist jedoch für die Nutzung ortsbezogener Datendienste sehr begrenzt, selbst wenn zusätzlich GPS-Empfänger eingebaut werden, und hat auch einen erhöhten Datenverkehr im Mobilfunknetz mit entsprechenden Zusatzkosten zur Folge.Road toll systems using a network of geographically distributed toll beacons with localized communication zones to locate vehicles by short distance communication with their on-board units (OBUs) at the location of the toll-bake are characterized by high reliability and accurate localization. However, the volume of data that can be exchanged via such short-distance communications is severely limited by their short range and the speed of the vehicles: In general, only a short data telegram is possible, which contains the device identifier of the on-board unit as a priority in order to be able to use it in the road toll system identify before the vehicle leaves the communication zone of a toll-bake. Large volume mobile data services are nowadays used over 2G, 3G or 4G mobile networks (GPRS, UMTS or LTE etc.) with mobile terminals such as mobile phones, PDAs, handheld PCs, web pads, etc. carried by the user in the vehicle or in the vehicle or integrated in its onboard unit. However, the localization accuracy of mobile terminals in such mobile networks is very limited for the use of location-based data services, even if additional GPS receivers are incorporated, and also results in increased mobile network traffic with corresponding additional costs.

Die Erfindung setzt sich zum Ziel, die Vorteile der bekannten Technologien miteinander zu verbinden, um ortsbezogene Datendienste mit großem Datenvolumen und hoher Ortungsgenauigkeit an Fahrzeuge zur Verfügung zu stellen.The aim of the invention is to combine the advantages of the known technologies with one another in order to locate them Data services with large data volume and high positioning accuracy to provide vehicles.

Dieses Ziel wird mit einem Verfahren der einleitend genannten Art erreicht, bei welchem die Onboard-Units eindeutige Gerätekennungen, die Mobilterminals eindeutige Teilnehmerkennungen und die Datendienste eindeutige Dienstkennungen haben, und das die folgenden Schritte umfasst:

  • Speichern einer Liste von Dienstkennungen von auf den Ort einer Mautbake bezogenen Datendiensten, einer Zuordnung zwischen der Gerätekennung und der Teilnehmerkennung eines Fahrzeugs, und zumindest einer Buchung einer Dienstkennung für eine Geräte- oder Teilnehmerkennung im Straßenmautsystem,
  • Senden der Gerätekennung einer eine Mautbake passierenden Onboard-Unit mittels Kurzstreckenkommunikation an die Mautbake,
  • Ermitteln der Dienstkennungsbuchung für die genannte Geräte- oder zugeordnete Teilnehmerkennung,
  • Überprüfen, ob die Dienstkennung aus dieser Buchung in der Dienstkennungsliste ortsbezogener Datendienste dieser Mautbake enthalten ist und wenn ja, Senden der zugeordneten Teilnehmerkennung an den durch die Dienstkennung identifizierten Datendienst, und
  • Zurverfügungstellen dieses Datendienstes über das Mobilfunknetz an das durch die Teilnehmerkennung identifizierte Mobilterminal.
This object is achieved by a method of the kind set forth in which the on-board units have unique device identifiers, the mobile terminals unique subscriber identifiers and the data services unique service identifiers, and which comprises the following steps:
  • Storing a list of service identifications of data bins related to the location of a toll-bake, an association between the device identifier and the subscriber identifier of a vehicle, and at least one booking of a service identifier for a device or subscriber identifier in the road toll system,
  • Sending the device identifier of a tollbake passing onboard unit to the tollbake via short distance communication
  • Determining the service ID booking for said device or associated subscriber identifier,
  • Checking whether the service identifier from this booking is included in the service identifier list of location-related data services of this toll-bake and, if so, sending the associated subscriber identifier to the data service identified by the service identifier, and
  • Providing this data service via the mobile network to the mobile terminal identified by the subscriber identifier.

Die Erfindung beruht auf der Erkenntnis, dass über die vorhandene Infrastruktur eines Netzes geografisch verteilter Mautbaken eines Straßenmautsystems im Zusammenspiel mit einem Mobilfunknetz ein großvolumiger Datendienst mit hoher Lokalisierungspräzision zur Verfügung gestellt werden kann, welcher keine Zusatzkosten für Lokalisierungen im Mobilfunknetz verursacht. In jeder Mautbake - oder ausgelagert in einen Proxy oder eine Zentrale des Straßenmautsystems - erfolgt ein Abgleich zwischen den von einer passierenden Onboard-Unit gebuchten Datendiensten mit den am Mautbakenort verfügbaren Datendiensten, so dass unnötiger Datenverkehr und eine Störung des Fahrers durch irrelevante Informationen verhindert werden. Der Fahrer kann genau jene Datendienste abonnieren bzw. buchen, welche von Interesse oder für den Fahrbetrieb sicherheitsrelevant sind. So können beispielsweise verkehrsrelevante Informationen großen Datenumfangs, z.B. grafisch aufwendige Staukarten, Wetterkarten mit Niederschlags- und Vereisungszonen usw. ortsbezogen verteilt werden, ortsbezogene Applikationsaufrufe initiiert werden, z.B. Zahlungsvorgänge vom Mobilterminal, usw. In diesem Sinne werden unter dem hier verwendeten Begriff "Datendienst" beliebige Applikationen verstanden, einschließlich der vorgenannten.The invention is based on the finding that a large-volume data service with high localization precision can be made available via the existing infrastructure of a network of geographically distributed toll bills of a road toll system in conjunction with a mobile radio network, which does not cause any additional costs for localizations in the mobile radio network. In each toll beacon - or outsourced to a proxy or a center of the road toll system - a comparison is made between the data services booked by a passing onboard unit and the data services available at the toll bag location, so that unnecessary data traffic and disruption of the driver be prevented by irrelevant information. The driver can subscribe or book exactly those data services which are of interest or safety relevant to the driving operation. Thus, for example, traffic-related information large data volume, eg graphically complicated congestion maps, weather maps with precipitation and icing zones, etc. are distributed location-based, location-related application calls are initiated, eg payments from the mobile terminal, etc. In this sense, under the term "data service" used here are arbitrary Applications understood, including the aforementioned.

Es sei an dieser Stelle erwähnt, dass es aus den Schriften US 70 10 267 und WO 2001/01711 für die Verteilung ortsbezogener Werbung an sich bekannt ist, mittels eines Netzes von Bluetooth-Baken Werbelinks (URLs) an passierende Mobiltelefonbenutzer auszustrahlen, um diese zum Abrufen von Zusatzinformationen über mobiles Internet aufzufordern. Eine derartige Lösung erfordert ein gesondertes Netz von Bluetooth-Baken und ist für sicherheitsrelevante Verkehrsanwendungen ungeeignet, da sie Aufmerksamkeit und Interaktionen des Benutzers zur Informationsauswahl voraussetzt, was den sicheren Betrieb eines Fahrzeugs gefährdet.It should be mentioned at this point that it is from the scriptures US 70 10 267 and WO 2001/01711 is known per se for the distribution of location-based advertising to emit by means of a network of Bluetooth beacons advertising links (URLs) to passing mobile phone users to ask them to retrieve additional information via mobile Internet. Such a solution requires a separate network of Bluetooth beacons and is unsuitable for safety-related traffic applications because it requires user attention and interaction to select information, compromising the safe operation of a vehicle.

Bevorzugt wird die Liste von Dienstkennungen der auf den Ort einer Mautbake bezogenen Datendiensten in ebendieser Mautbake gespeichert und das Ermitteln der Dienstkennungsbuchung für die genannte Geräte- oder zugeordnete Teilnehmerkennung erfolgt in ebendieser Mautbake, was eine rasche Reaktion vor Ort - d.h. in jeweiligen Mautbake - auf die diese passierenden Onboard-Units gestattet, ohne daß die Mautbake dazu Rückgriff auf einen entfernten Proxy oder eine entfernte Zentrale nehmen müßte.Preferably, the list of service identifiers of the toll billing-related data services is stored in that toll-bake, and the service identifier registration for said device or associated subscriber identifier is determined in that toll-bake, which provides a rapid on-site response - i.e. in each toll-bake - on which these passing onboard units allowed, without the toll-bake would have to resort to a remote proxy or a remote headquarters.

In einer ersten Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird die Ortsbezogenheit des Datendienstes durch seine Dienstkennung gewährleistet, d.h. jede Dienstkennung steht für einen für den Mautbakenort spezifischen Datendienst. In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann bevorzugt vorgesehen werden, dass mit der Teilnehmerkennung auch der Mautbakenort an den identifizierten Datendienst gesandt wird, so dass dieser seine Dienste bzw. Daten noch genauer an den Mautbakenort anpassen kann. Beispielsweise kann damit ein durch seine Dienstkennung identifizierter Datendienst für ein größeres Gebiet mit mehreren Mautbaken zuständig sein und passt seine Daten bzw. Dienste an den jeweils übermittelten Mautbakenort spezifisch an.In a first embodiment of the invention, the location-relatedness of the data service is ensured by its service identifier, ie each service identifier stands for a data service specific to the toll-bill location. In a further embodiment The invention may preferably be provided that with the subscriber identifier and the Mautbakenort is sent to the identified data service, so that it can customize its services or data more precisely to the Mautbakenort. For example, a data service identified by its service identifier can thus be responsible for a larger area with a plurality of toll banners and specifically adapts its data or services to the respectively transmitted toll-billing location.

In bevorzugten Ausführungsformen der Erfindung wird die Dienstkennungsbuchung in einer Liste der Mautbake oder einer Zentrale des Straßenmautsystems gespeichert und das genannte Ermitteln der Dienstkennungsbuchung erfolgt in der Mautbake oder der Zentrale anhand dieser Liste. Der Benutzer kann die gewünschten Datendienste unter seiner Geräte- oder Teilnehmerkennung beispielsweise in eine zentrale Liste des Straßenmautsystems eintragen, welche dann optional an alle Mautbaken verteilt wird. Dadurch kann die Kommunikation zwischen Onboard-Unit und Mautbake minimal gehalten werden und erfordert auch keine Modifikation gegenüber herkömmlichen Straßenmautstandards.In preferred embodiments of the invention, the service registration entry is stored in a list of the toll bark or a center of the road toll system and said determination of service registration entry takes place in the toll-bake or the central station on the basis of this list. The user can enter the desired data services under his device or subscriber identifier, for example in a central list of the road toll system, which is then optionally distributed to all toll banners. As a result, communication between the onboard unit and the tollbake can be kept to a minimum and does not require modification to conventional road toll standards.

Alternativ kann die Dienstkennungsbuchung in der Onboard-Unit gespeichert werden und das genannte Ermitteln der Dienstkennungsbuchung erfolgt dadurch, dass diese gebuchte(n) Dienstkennung(en) gemeinsam mit der Geräte- und/oder Teilnehmerkennung von der Onboard-Unit an die Mautbake gesandt wird/werden. Diese Variante hat den Vorteil, dass der Benutzer seine Dienste nicht zentral im Straßenmautsystem buchen muss, sondern dies lokal auf seiner Onboard-Unit vornehmen kann, was deutliche Laufzeitvorteile in der Bearbeitung der Dienste bietet, insbesondere bei lokal eingeschränkten Diensten.Alternatively, the service ID booking can be stored in the onboard unit and said service ID registration is performed by sending that booked service ID (s) together with the device and / or subscriber ID from the onboard unit to the tollbaket / become. This variant has the advantage that the user does not have to centrally book his services in the road toll system, but can do so locally on his on-board unit, which offers significant runtime advantages in the processing of services, especially for locally limited services.

Auch die genannte Zuordnung zwischen Gerätekennung und Teilnehmerkennung kann an verschiedenen Stellen des Systems vorgenommen werden. In einer ersten Variante wird die Zuordnung zwischen Gerätekennung und Teilnehmerkennung in einer Liste einer Zentrale des Straßenmautsystems gespeichert, über welche das Senden an den Datendienst erfolgt und wo die der Gerätekennung zugeordnete Teilnehmerkennung anhand der Liste ermittelt wird. Dies erfordert zwar eine entsprechende zentrale Registrierung im Straßenmautsystem, vereinfacht aber die Kommunikation zwischen Onboard-Units und Mautbaken. Die genannte Zuordnungsliste kann auch von der Zentrale an die Mautbaken verteilt werden, so dass die der Gerätekennung zugeordnete Teilnehmerkennung anhand der lokalen Liste in der Mautbake ermittelt werden kann, was eine beschleunigte Verarbeitung ermöglicht.The named association between device identifier and subscriber identifier can also be made at different points in the system. In a first variant, the association between device identifier and subscriber identifier is stored in a list of a center of the road toll system, via which the transmission to the data service takes place and where the subscriber identifier associated with the device identifier is determined from the list. Although this requires a corresponding central registration in the road toll system, but simplifies the communication between onboard units and toll beacons. The said assignment list can also be distributed from the control center to the toll beacons, so that the subscriber identifier assigned to the device identifier can be determined from the local list in the tollbaket, which enables accelerated processing.

In einer weiteren Variante kann die der Gerätekennung zugeordnete Teilnehmerkennung in der Onboard-Unit gespeichert und von dieser an die Mautbake gesandt werden, was eine zentrale Registrierung erübrigt, jedoch eine entsprechende Modifikation der Kurzstreckenkommunikation erfordert.In a further variant, the subscriber identifier associated with the device identifier can be stored in the onboard unit and sent by the latter to the tollbake, which makes central registration unnecessary, but requires a corresponding modification of the short-distance communication.

Das Verfahren der Erfindung ist für beliebige Straßenmautsysteme mit verschiedensten Arten von Kurzstreckenkommunikationen geeignet, z.B. über Infrarot, RFID (radio-frequency identification) oder WLAN (wireless local area network). Besonders günstig ist es, wenn die Kurzstreckenkommunikation nach dem DSRC- (dedicated short range communication) oder WAVE-Standard (wireless access in a vehicle environment) erfolgt, welche Standards weite Verbreitungen in Straßenmautsystemen mit geografisch verteilten Mautbaken haben.The method of the invention is suitable for any road toll systems with various types of short-range communications, e.g. via infrared, RFID (radio-frequency identification) or WLAN (wireless local area network). It is particularly favorable if the short distance communication takes place according to the DSRC (dedicated short range communication) or WAVE standard (wireless access in a vehicle environment), which standards have wide distributions in road toll systems with geographically distributed toll beacons.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand von in den beigeschlossenen Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. In den Zeichnungen zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine erste Ausführungsform des Verfahrens der Erfindung im Rahmen eines schematisch dargestellten Straßenmautsystems; und
  • die Fig. 2 und 3 Varianten des Verfahrens von Fig. 1 anhand eines Ausschnitts des Straßenmautsystems von Fig. 1.
The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the drawings show:
  • Fig. 1 a first embodiment of the method of the invention in the context of a schematically illustrated road toll system; and
  • the FIGS. 2 and 3 Variants of the method of Fig. 1 on the basis of a section of the road toll system from Fig. 1 ,

Gemäß Fig. 1 bewegen sich Fahrzeuge 1 auf einer Straße 2 im Rahmen eines Straßenmautsystems, welches eine Vielzahl geografisch verteilter Mautbaken 3 (nur eine dargestellt) und zumindest eine Zentrale 4 umfasst. Die Fahrzeuge 1 führen Fahrzeuggeräte bzw. Onboard-Units (OBUs) 5 mit, welche Kurzstreckenkommunikationen 6, d.h. drahtlose Kommunikationen eng begrenzter Reichweite, mit den Mautbaken 3 durchführen können, wenn sie diese passieren bzw. in deren Reichweite gelangen.According to Fig. 1 Vehicles 1 move on a road 2 as part of a road toll system, which comprises a plurality of geographically distributed toll beacons 3 (only one shown) and at least one center 4. The vehicles 1 lead vehicle equipment Onboard units (OBUs) 5, which can perform short-distance communications 6, ie wireless communications of limited range, with the toll beacons 3 as they pass through or reach within their reach.

Die Onboard-Units 5 haben eindeutige Gerätekennungen (OBU-IDs) OID im Straßenmautsystem, mit welchen sie sich gegenüber den Mautbaken 3 im Zuge einer Kurzstreckenkommunikation 6 zu erkennen geben (Nachricht 7). Nach der Passage einer Onboard-Unit 5 kann eine Mautbake 3 somit eine Mauttransaktion 8 über eine Datenverbindung 9 zur Zentrale 4 absetzen, welche Mauttransaktion 8 zumindest die Gerätekennung OID der Onboard-Unit 5 und den Ort "pos" der Mautbake 3 enthält. Der Mautbakenort pos kann auch in Form einer eindeutigen Kennung der Mautbake 3 angegeben werden, wenn die Zentrale 4 die Orte der Mautbaken 3 kennt.The on-board units 5 have unique device identifications (OBU-IDs) OID in the road toll system with which they identify themselves to the toll beacons 3 in the course of a short-distance communication 6 (message 7). After the passage of an on-board unit 5, a tollbaket 3 can thus deposit a toll transaction 8 via a data connection 9 to the center 4, which toll transaction 8 contains at least the device identifier OID of the onboard unit 5 and the location "pos" of the tollbaket 3. The Mautbakenort pos can also be specified in the form of a unique identifier of the toll beacon 3, when the center 4 knows the places of toll beacons 3.

In der Zentrale 4 kann aufgrund der empfangenen Mauttransaktionen 8 eine Nutzung des Mautbakenorts pos durch das Fahrzeug 1 vergebührt bzw. vermautet werden, z.B. das Befahren einer Mautstraße, das Eintreten in einen mautpflichtigen Distrikt, das Verweilen an einem mautpflichtigen Ort usw., wie dem Fachmann bekannt.In the center 4, due to the received toll transactions 8, a use of the toll bag location pos by the vehicle 1 may be charged or leased, e.g. driving on a toll road, entering a tolled district, staying at a toll road, etc., as known to those skilled in the art.

Für die Kurzstreckenkommunikation 6 können verschiedene Technologien eingesetzt werden, z.B. Infrarot (IR), RFID (radio frequency identification), DSRC (dedicated short range communication), WLAN (wireless local area net), WAVE (wireless access in a vehicle environment), ZigBee®, Bluetooth® usw. Bevorzugt handelt es sich um eine DSRC- oder WAVE-Verbindung, wie sie bei herkömmlichen Straßenmautsystemen Verwendung findet.Various technologies can be used for the short-distance communication 6, eg infrared (IR), radio frequency identification (RFID), dedicated short range communication (DSRC), wireless local area network (WLAN), wireless access in a vehicle environment (WAVE), ZigBee Preference ®, Bluetooth ®, etc. is a DSRC or WAVE compound as is used in conventional road toll systems.

Das Fahrzeug 1 führt zusätzlich zur Onboard-Unit 5 ein Mobilterminal 10 mit, das in die Onboard-Unit 5 integriert, mit dieser verbunden oder von dieser gesondert sein kann. Das Mobilterminal 10 ist ein mobiles Endgerät zum Datenempfang 11 in einem Mobilfunknetz 12 sog. zweiter, dritter, vierter usw. Generation (2G, 3G, 4G usw.), insbesondere nach GSM-, UMTS-, LTE- oder WIMAX-Standards. Das Mobilterminal 10 ist zu diesem Zweck z.B. ein in die Onboard-Unit 5 integrierte Mobilfunk-Transceiver oder ein für Datenempfang ausgebildetes Mobiltelefon, ein Handheld-PC, ein Webpad usw., sowohl "stand-alone" als auch in ein Bordelektroniksystem des Fahrzeugs 1 integriert.In addition to the on-board unit 5, the vehicle 1 also carries a mobile terminal 10 which can be integrated in the on-board unit 5, connected to it or separate therefrom. The mobile terminal 10 is a mobile terminal for data reception 11 in a mobile network 12 so-called second, third, fourth, etc. generation (2G, 3G, 4G, etc.), in particular according to GSM, UMTS, LTE or WIMAX standards. The mobile terminal 10 is for this purpose For example, a mobile transceiver integrated in the on-board unit 5 or a mobile telephone designed for data reception, a handheld PC, a webpad, etc., are integrated both "stand-alone" and in an on-board electronic system of the vehicle 1.

Das Mobilterminal 10 ist im Mobilfunknetz 12 über eine eindeutige Teilnehmerkennung (Mobile-ID) MID identifiziert. Die Teilnehmerkennung MID kann beispielsweise eine Telefonnummer, IMSI, IMEI oder IP-Adresse im Mobilfunknetz 12 sein.The mobile terminal 10 is identified in the mobile network 12 via a unique subscriber identifier (mobile ID) MID. The subscriber identifier MID can be, for example, a telephone number, IMSI, IMEI or IP address in the mobile radio network 12.

Über das Mobilfunknetz 12 können ortsbezogene Datendienste 13 im Mobilterminal 10 empfangen bzw. von diesem genutzt werden, z.B. auch interaktiv. Die Datendienste 13 sind beispielsweise auf einem oder mehreren Applikationsservern (nicht gezeigt) beheimatet, welche an das Mobilfunknetz 12 direkt oder. über entsprechende Gateways angebunden sind.Via the mobile radio network 12, location-related data services 13 can be received in or used by the mobile terminal 10, e.g. also interactive. The data services 13 are based, for example, on one or more application servers (not shown), which are connected to the mobile radio network 12 directly or. are connected via appropriate gateways.

Die Datendienste 13 sind ferner über Datenverbindungen 14, bevorzugt das Internet, an die Mautbaken 3 angebunden, u. zw. bevorzugt über die Zentrale 4 des Straßenmautsystems. Die Zentrale 4 kann zu diesem Zweck z.B. ein Internetgateway 15 zur Kommunikation mit Datendiensten 13 im Internet aufweisen. Wenn die Zentrale 4 entfällt, sind die Datendienste 13 bzw. die sie bereitstellenden Applikationsserver direkt über die Datenverbindungen 9, 14 an die Mautbaken 3 angebunden.The data services 13 are also connected via data links 14, preferably the Internet, connected to the toll beacons 3, u. preferably via the center 4 of the road toll system. The center 4 can be used for this purpose e.g. an Internet gateway 15 for communicating with data services 13 on the Internet. If the central office 4 is omitted, the data services 13 or the application servers providing them are connected directly to the toll beacons 3 via the data connections 9, 14.

Die Datendienste 13 haben jeweils eine eindeutige Dienstkennung (Service-ID) SID, mit der sie identifizierbar sind, z.B. einen URL (uniform resource locator) im Internet. Jeder Datendienst 13 ist spezifisch für den Ort pos einer (oder mehrerer) Mautbaken 3, d.h. in diesem Sinne ein ortsbezogener Datendienst. Zusätzlich kann ein Datendienst 13 auch seinerseits - wenn er z.B. für mehrere Mautbanken 3 zuständig ist - speziell an den jeweiligen Mautbakenort pos angepasste Daten bzw. Dienste "data" anbieten, wie durch die Liste 16 versinnbildlicht.The data services 13 each have a unique service identifier (service ID) SID with which they are identifiable, e.g. a URL (uniform resource locator) on the Internet. Each data service 13 is specific to the location of one (or more) toll beacons 3, i. in this sense, a location-based data service. In addition, a data service 13 can also in turn - if he e.g. is responsible for several toll banks 3 - specially adapted to the respective Mautbakenort pos adapted data or services "data" offer, as represented by the list 16.

Die Mautbake 3 enthält ihrerseits eine Liste 17 mit den Dienstkennungen SID jener Datendienste 13, welche für ihren Ort pos zuständig bzw. verfügbar sind. Die Einträge in der Dienstkennungsliste 17 sind hier mit A-SID ("available SIDs") bezeichnet.The toll-bake 3 in turn contains a list 17 with the service identifiers SID of those data services 13 which are responsible for their location pos are responsible or available. The entries in the service identifier list 17 are here designated A-SID ("available SIDs").

In der Onboard-Unit 5 ist wiederum eine Liste 18 der von ihr gewünschten bzw. "gebuchten" Datendienste 13 hinterlegt, jeweils durch eine Dienstkennung SID referenziert, hier in der Liste 18 als B-SID ("booked SIDs") bezeichnet. Jeder Eintrag in der Liste 18 stellt somit eine "Dienstkennungsbuchung" der OBU 5 mit der Gerätekennung OID betreffend einen Datendienst 13 mit der Dienstkennung SID dar. Die Liste 18 kann bei der Fertigung bzw. der Ausgabe der OBU 5 an den Benutzer in der OBU 5 gespeichert und/oder über ein User-Interface bzw. im Betrieb "on the fly" angelegt oder geändert werden.In turn, a list 18 of the desired or "booked" data services 13 is stored in the on-board unit 5, each referenced by a service identifier SID, designated here in the list 18 as a B-SID ("booked SIDs"). Each entry in the list 18 thus represents a "service registration" of the OBU 5 with the device identifier OID relating to a data service 13 with the service identifier SID. The list 18 can be used in the production or output of the OBU 5 to the user in the OBU 5 stored and / or created or changed via a user interface or during operation "on the fly".

Beim Passieren einer Mautbake 3 übermittelt die OBU 5 im Zuge der Kurzstreckenkommunikation 6 zu ihrer Gerätekennung OID auch die Liste 18 der von ihr gebuchten Datendienste B-SID, siehe Nachricht 7. In der Mautbake 3 wird daraufhin überprüft, ob eine (oder mehrere) der gebuchten Dienstkennungen B-SID in der Liste 17 der am Mautbakenort pos verfügbaren Datendienste 13 enthalten ist. Wenn ja, d.h. eine Übereinstimmung zwischen einer gebuchten Dienstkennung B-SID und einer verfügbaren Dienstkennung A-SID vorliegt, wird diese Dienstkennung (A- bzw. B-) SID als Mauttransaktion 8 über die Datenverbindung 9 zusammen mit der Gerätekennung OID und (optional) dem Mautbakenort pos an die Zentrale 4 gesandt.When passing a toll-bake 3, the OBU 5 transmits in the course of the short-distance communication 6 to their device identifier OID also the list 18 of the data services booked by it B-SID, see message 7. In the toll-bake 3 is checked to see if one (or more) the booked service identifications B-SID in the list 17 of the data available at the toll bag location pos 13 is included. If yes, i. If there is a match between a booked service identifier B-SID and an available service identifier A-SID, this service identifier (A or B) SID becomes a toll transaction 8 via the data connection 9 together with the device identifier OID and (optionally) the toll bag location pos the central station 4 sent.

Die Dienstkennungsliste 17 könnte anstelle in der Mautbake 3 alternativ in der Zentrale 4 oder einem zwischengelagerten Proxyrechner (nicht gezeigt) gehalten werden, in welchem Fall der genannte Abgleich zwischen gebuchten Datentdiensten B-SID und am Mautbakenort verfügbaren Datendiensten A-SID auch in die Zentrale 4 bzw. deren Proxyrechner ausgelagert werden könnte.The service identification list 17 could alternatively be held in the toll booth 3 or in a temporary proxy computer (not shown), in which case the said reconciliation between booked data services B-SID and data services A-SID available at the toll-bill location also into the center 4 or whose proxy computer could be outsourced.

In der Zentrale 4 ist eine Zuordnungsliste 19 zwischen den Gerätekennungen OID der Onboard-Units 5 und den Teilnehmerkennungen MID der Mobilterminals 10 hinterlegt. Zum Aufbau der Liste 19 kann sich der Benutzer des Fahrzeugs 1 beispielsweise mit seinen Geräte- und Teilnehmerkennungen OID, MID in der Zentrale 4 registrieren lassen, z.B. über das Internet 14 oder ein an die Zentrale 4 angebundenes (nicht gezeigten) Point-of-Sale-Terminal.In the center 4, an assignment list 19 between the device identifiers OID of the on-board units 5 and the subscriber identifications MID of the mobile terminals 10 is stored. To build the list 19, the user of the vehicle 1, for example register with its device and subscriber identities OID, MID in the center 4, for example via the Internet 14 or a connected to the center 4 (not shown) point of sale terminal.

In der Zentrale 4 wird nun die einer empfangenen Gerätekennung OID zugeordnete Teilnehmerkennung MID aus der Liste 19 ermittelt und anstelle (oder auch zusätzlich) der Gerätekennung OID in eine modifizierte Transaktionsnachricht 8' eingesetzt, welche über das Internet 14 an den durch die Dienstkennung SID angegebenen Datendienst 13 gesandt wird. Der Datendienst 13 mit der Dienstkennung SID empfängt die Teilnehmerkennung MID und - soferne er für mehrere Bakenorte pos zuständig ist - optional auch den Bakenort pos und stellt seine ortsbezogenen Daten data - gegebenenfalls abhängig vom Ort pos - über das Mobilfunknetz 12 an das durch die Teilnehmerkennung MID identifizierte Mobilterminal 10 zur Verfügung (Nachricht 20). Das Mobilterminal 10 kann direkt auf den Empfang der Nachricht 20 reagieren und die darin enthaltenen ortsbezogenen Daten data des Dienstes 13 anzeigen bzw. nutzen, oder von der Onboard-Unit 5 zuvor in spezielle Empfangsbereitschaft versetzt worden sein, wenn eine Verbindung zwischen Onboard-Unit 5 und Mobilterminal 10 besteht.In the center 4 of a received device identifier OID associated subscriber identifier MID is now determined from the list 19 and instead (or additionally) of the device identifier OID in a modified transaction message 8 'used, which via the Internet 14 to the specified by the service identifier SID data service 13 is sent. The data service 13 with the service identifier SID receives the subscriber identifier MID and - if he is responsible for several beacons pos - optionally also the beacon location pos and provides its location-related data data - possibly depending on the location pos - via the mobile network 12 to the subscriber identifier MID identified mobile terminal 10 available (message 20). The mobile terminal 10 can respond directly to the receipt of the message 20 and display or use the location-related data contained therein data of the service 13, or have previously been placed in special readiness for reception by the onboard unit 5, if a connection between onboard unit. 5 and mobile terminal 10 exists.

Die ortsbezogenen Daten data (Nachricht 20) können beispielhaft eine SMS, Voice-Mail oder eine Anzeige einer Internetseite oder Grafik sein oder auch ein "remote process call" (RPC) zum Starten oder Triggern einer Anwendung.The location-related data data (message 20) may be, for example, an SMS, voice mail or an advertisement of a website or graphic or also a "remote process call" (RPC) for starting or triggering an application.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Variante des Verfahrens von Fig. 1, in welcher die Dienstkennungsbuchungen der Onboard-Unit 5 nicht in dieser selbst, sondern in einer Liste 21 der Mautbake 3 gespeichert sind. Die Liste 21 enthält zu einer Gerätekennung OID die gebuchte Dienstkennungen B-SID. Die Liste 21 wird bevorzugt von der Zentrale 4 an alle ihre Mautbaken 3 verteilt und kann z.B. beim Anlegen der Liste 19 mitangelegt werden. Die Onboard-Unit 5 braucht daher im Zuge einer Kurzstreckenkommunikation 6 an eine Mautbake 3 nur in herkömmlicher Art und Weise ihre Gerätekennung OID senden (Nachricht 7'), und die Mautbake 3 ermittelt die für die empfangene Gerätekennung OID gebuchten Datendienste bzw. Dienstkennungen B-SID aus der Buchungsliste 21, um sie anschließend mit der Liste 17 der verfügbaren Dienstkennungen A-SID abzugleichen und im Übereinstimmungsfall wieder die Nachrichten 8, 8' über die Zentrale 4 an den entsprechenden Datendienst 13 abzusetzen. Fig. 2 shows a variant of the method of Fig. 1 in which the service ID entries of the on-board unit 5 are not stored in this itself but in a list 21 of the tollbaket 3. The list 21 contains the service IDs B-SID for a device identifier OID. The list 21 is preferably distributed from the center 4 to all their toll beacons 3 and can be co-created, for example, when creating the list 19. The on-board unit 5 therefore needs in the course of a short-distance communication 6 to a toll-bake 3 only in a conventional manner their device identifier Send OID (message 7 '), and the toll-bake 3 determines the data services B-SID booked for the received device identifier OID from the booking list 21, and then reconciles them with the list 17 of the available service identifiers A-SID and again in the case of coincidence the messages 8, 8 'via the central office 4 to the corresponding data service 13 deduct.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine weitere Alternative des Verfahrens der Fig. 1 und 2, bei welcher die Liste 19 direkt in der Mautbake 3 hinterlegt wird. Die Zuordnung der Teilnehmerkennung MID zur Gerätekennung OID erfolgt hier gleich direkt in der Mautbake 3, sodass eine modifizierte Nachricht 8' über die Datenverbindung 9 zur Zentrale 4 abgesetzt werden kann, in welcher bereits die Teilnehmerkennung MID anstelle der Gerätekennung OID aufscheint. Es versteht sich, dass diese Variante sowohl mit der Ausführungsform von Fig. 1 als auch jener von Fig. 2 kombiniert werden kann. Fig. 3 shows a further alternative of the method of Fig. 1 and 2 , in which the list 19 is deposited directly in the toll-bake 3. The assignment of the subscriber identifier MID to the device identifier OID takes place here directly in the tollbaket 3, so that a modified message 8 'can be sent via the data connection 9 to the central station 4, in which the subscriber identifier MID already appears instead of the device identifier OID. It is understood that this variant with both the embodiment of Fig. 1 as well as those of Fig. 2 can be combined.

Eine weitere Variante der Zuordnung zwischen Gerätekennung OID und Teilnehmerkennung MID besteht darin, dass die Teilnehmerkennung MID direkt in der OBU 5 zu deren Gerätekennung OID gespeichert wird oder die OBU 5 - wenn sie mit dem Mobilterminal 10 verbunden ist - von diesem die Teilnehmerkennung MID erhält. In diesem Fall kann gleich in der Nachricht 7 bzw. 7' über die Kurzstreckenkommunikation 6 anstelle (oder zu) der Gerätekennung OID die Teilnehmerkennung MID an die Mautbake 3 gesandt und im weiteren Verfahren verwendet werden. Auch diese Variante ist mit jeder der in den Fig. 1 - 3 gezeigten Ausführungsformen kombinierbar.Another variant of the association between the device identifier OID and subscriber identifier MID is that the subscriber identifier MID is stored directly in the OBU 5 to their device identifier OID or the OBU 5 - when it is connected to the mobile terminal 10 - receives from this the subscriber identifier MID. In this case, in the message 7 or 7 'via the short-distance communication 6 instead of (or to) the device identifier OID, the subscriber identifier MID can be sent to the tollbaket 3 and used in the further procedure. Also this variant is with each of the in the Fig. 1-3 shown embodiments combined.

Eine Vergebührung der ortsbezogenen Daten data bzw. Datendienste 13 kann von der Zentrale 4, vom Applikationsserver der Datendienste und/oder vom Betreiber des Mobilfunknetzes 12 durchgeführt werden.Billing of the location-related data or data services 13 can be performed by the center 4, by the application server of the data services and / or by the operator of the mobile radio network 12.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die dargestellten Ausführungsformen beschränkt, sondern umfasst alle Varianten und Modifikationen, die in den Rahmen der angeschlossenen Ansprüche fallen.The invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments, but includes all variants and modifications that fall within the scope of the appended claims.
