Description

The present invention relates to a method for adapting an operation of at least one door system. Furthermore, the invention relates to a computer program product for carrying out the method.

Various types of door systems are known from the prior art. Thus, the door system may include a stop door, a sliding door, a (carousel) revolving door, or the like. It is also known that a drive unit may be provided in the door system to drive a door component (such as the door panel) as a movable part of the door system for movement. In this way, (at least partially) automated opening and closing of the door component can be effected. In principle, such a drive of the door component can be used in all types of construction to at least partially automate and / or support the movement of the door component.

The door system is usually influenced indirectly or directly by various drive parameters. For example. Drive parameters, such as the frequency of use (use cycle), may be functionally relevant to the operation of the door. It may also be possible that the drive parameters in a certain constellation lead to the functional impairment of the door system. Often, therefore, after a certain period of time or at a certain frequency of use, a maintenance of the door system. Also it may be possible that some of the drive parameters are due to a manual configuration of the door system Take into account, for example, if a programming of a time for opening and / or closing the door system takes place.

Often, however, the operation of the door system is a technical challenge, in particular, the maintenance and / or configuration of the door system is technically complex and complex. For example, drive parameters, such as fault information, have to be determined consuming on the door system. Furthermore, if necessary, programming specifications have to be determined manually for programming and then a device for programming must be connected to the door system. In addition, a problem is that, if necessary, the determination of the configuration specifications is too imprecise and / or inappropriate, in particular if a sufficient assessment of the relevant drive parameters is difficult. Thus, a conventional door system in such a case is often expensive and / or can be used with greater technical effort.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to at least partially overcome the above problems. In particular, it is an object of the invention to enable an improved and / or less expensive and / or simpler and / or more reliable operation and / or a configuration of a door system.

The above object is achieved by a method having the features of claim 1 and by a computer program product having the features of claim 12. Further features and details of the invention will become apparent from the respective dependent claims, the description and the drawings. In this case, features and details which are described in connection with the method according to the invention apply, of course also in connection with the computer program product according to the invention, and in each case vice versa, so that with respect to the disclosure of the individual invention aspects always reciprocal reference is or can be.

The object is achieved in particular by a method for adapting an operation of at least one door system. In this case, provision is made in particular for the door system to have at least one door component operated at least partially automated for carrying out at least one door function, such as, for example, opening and / or closing the door component.

• Bestimmen wenigstens einer Türfunktionsinformation durch eine Kommunikationseinheit, wobei die Türfunktionsinformation für eine Konfiguration der Türfunktion des Türsystems spezifisch ist, bspw. für ein Initiieren (auch Aktivieren) und/oder Parametrisieren der Türfunktion,
• Bestimmen wenigstens eines Antriebsparameters anhand der durch die Kommunikationseinheit bestimmten Türfunktionsinformation, insbesondere durch die Kommunikationseinheit und/oder durch eine weitere Kommunikationseinheit und/oder durch das Türsystem und/oder durch ein (ggf. türsystemfernes) Speichersystem, sodass der Antriebsparameter für eine Konfigurationsvorgabe (für das Türsystem) spezifisch ist,
• Übertragen des wenigstens einen (zuvor, insbesondere durch die Kommunikationseinheit) bestimmten Antriebsparameters an das Türsystem (kabellos) durch eine Funk-Datenübertragung, sodass die Konfigurationsvorgabe einer Kontrolleinheit des Türsystems bereitgestellt wird,
• Anpassen des Betriebs des Türsystems zumindest durch ein Betreiben der Türkomponente durch die Kontrolleinheit (z. B. Öffnen und/oder Schließen) anhand der bereitgestellten Konfigurationsvorgabe, insbesondere durch eine Ausführung der durch die Konfigurationsvorgabe bereitgestellten Anweisungen durch die Kontrolleinheit.

Furthermore, provision is made in particular for at least one of the following steps to be carried out, in which case the steps are preferably carried out successively or in any desired order, with individual steps also preferably being able to be carried out repeatedly:

• Determining at least one door function information by a communication unit, the door function information being specific to a configuration of the door function of the door system, for example for initiating (also activating) and / or parameterizing the door function,
• Determining at least one drive parameter on the basis of the door function information determined by the communication unit, in particular by the communication unit and / or by a further communication unit and / or by the door system and / or by a (possibly door system remote) storage system, so that the drive parameter for a configuration specification (for the Door system) is specific,
• Transmission of the at least one (previously, in particular by the communication unit) specific drive parameter to the door system (wireless) by a wireless data transmission, so the configuration specification of a control unit of the door system is provided,
• Adjusting the operation of the door system at least by operating the door component by the control unit (eg, opening and / or closing) on the basis of the provided configuration specification, in particular by execution of the instructions provided by the configuration specification by the control unit.

As a result, the advantage is achieved that simple and flexible control, in particular control of the door system can be done. Also, a configuration specification can thus be determined in a simple manner and possibly based on a large number of information (including other drive parameters). In this case, it may be possible for the communication unit to perform the determination of the door function information and / or the drive parameter, in particular also on the basis of (for example, depending on and / or correlated with) further drive parameters, which, for example, in other door systems and / or by sensors (eg the communication unit) and / or the like. Thus, the further drive parameters can, for example, also have information about an environment of the door system, such as, for example, weather information or the like. In particular, the transmission from the communication unit to the door system can be carried out by the radio data transmission, wherein for this purpose, for example, a connection between the communication unit and a transmission unit of the door system is established.

It can be provided that determining the at least one door function information and / or the at least one Drive parameter is at least partially performed by a software, in particular App, the communication unit.

It may also be possible for the at least one drive parameter to be determined at least in part by a memory system and / or a further communication unit. For example. For example, at least one door function information may be determined (by the communication unit), for example as an instruction for a macro. Subsequently, for example, based on this specific door function information, the drive parameters can be created with the configuration specification, for example as a macro, by the storage system and / or the further communication unit. For this purpose, for example, by the storage system and / or the further communication unit still carried out a check of the door function information. This has the advantage that (for example, cloud-based), the macro can be created and / or checked by communication of the communication unit with the further communication unit and / or the storage system. In particular, the further communication unit and / or the storage system can be embodied as a server or the like.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the transmission of the drive parameter (if necessary not directly by the communication unit) is carried out by the further communication unit and / or the memory system. This has the advantage that a high degree of security can be ensured since, for example, the door system information can be checked in advance by the further communication unit and / or the storage system.

• wenigstens eine Türkomponente, insbesondere eine Tür oder ein Türblatt, wobei vorzugsweise die Türkomponente beweglich gelagert ist,
• wenigstens eine Antriebseinheit, wobei die Antriebseinheit mit der Türkomponente in Wirkverbindung steht, um die Türkomponente zur Durchführung wenigstens einer Türfunktion in wenigstens einen Bewegungszustand zu bringen,
• wenigstens eine Erkennungseinheit zum Bestimmen von wenigstens einem Antriebsparameter, wobei vorzugsweise der Antriebsparameter mit der Türfunktion korreliert ist,
• wenigstens eine Kontrolleinheit zur Kontrolle (d. h. insbesondere Initiierung und/oder Steuerung und/oder Regelung) zumindest der Antriebseinheit und/oder zumindest der Türfunktion,
• wenigstens eine Übertragungseinheit zum Aussenden und/oder Übertragen und/oder Empfangen von Informationen, insbesondere des wenigstens einen durch die Erkennungseinheit bestimmten Antriebsparameters.

In particular, the door system can have at least one of the following components or units:

• at least one door component, in particular a door or a door leaf, wherein preferably the door component is movably mounted,
• at least one drive unit, the drive unit being in operative connection with the door component in order to bring the door component into at least one movement state for carrying out at least one door function,
• at least one recognition unit for determining at least one drive parameter, the drive parameter preferably being correlated with the door function,
• at least one control unit for controlling (ie in particular initiating and / or controlling and / or regulating) at least the drive unit and / or at least the door function,
• at least one transmission unit for transmitting and / or transmitting and / or receiving information, in particular of the at least one drive parameter determined by the detection unit.

In particular, a communication unit is provided inside or outside the door system, for example in a provisioning system, which, for example, is designed to receive (and / or wirelessly) receive and / or transmit the at least one (transmitted by the transmission unit) transmitted or received drive parameter (eg. through a communication interface of the communication unit).

The communication unit is preferably for (for example, wirelessly) transmitting the at least one drive parameter, in particular transmitted by the transmission unit and / or received by the communication unit, to a Door system remote storage system, preferably, at least partially by radio, running, so that the (in this way) transmitted drive parameters can be provided door system remote. This has the advantage that technically simple and cost-effective provision of the drive parameter outside the door system can take place. Furthermore, the advantage can be achieved that the transmission unit can be made technically simpler than the communication unit, so that only the communication unit has to be adapted for the use of new communication technologies.

In particular, "wireless" (also: wireless) is understood to mean that at least partially a radio (communication or transmission) technology is used, ie, for example, a transmission and / or transmission and / or reception at least partially via radio. In other words, in a wireless transmission (of data) at least a part of the transmission technologies used may be implemented as radio technology, even if, for example, several transmission technologies are used (eg in the transmission of the communication unit via WLAN to the access point and then, for example wired to the storage system). In particular, a wireless design relates only to at least a portion of a transmission path, for example the (air) transmission path over which radio waves, ie electromagnetic waves and in particular modulated electromagnetic waves, are transmitted. The radio technology or at least one of the technologies used for transmission can be embodied, for example, as Bluetooth, in particular Bluetooth low energy, or as near field communication (NFC) or as a wireless local area network (WLAN) or the like. Also, if necessary, the wireless technology several different radio technologies include, for example, be used in parallel or serial.

It may be possible for a communication interface of the communication unit to be provided for (possibly wirelessly) receiving and / or transmitting information, such as the at least one drive parameter, from or to the transmission unit. The communication interface is embodied, for example, as a radio communication interface, in particular as a Bluetooth communication interface and / or WLAN communication interface and / or Bluetooth low energy (BLE) communication interface and / or as a mobile radio communication interface.

• Bluetooth, insbesondere BLE,
• WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network),
• Mobilfunk, insbesondere UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) oder LTE (Long Term Evolution) oder dergleichen,
• Ethernet,
• NFC (Near Field Communication).

Dabei kann die Kommunikationsschnittstelle zur (ggf. kabellosen) Kommunikation über die entsprechende Kommunikationstechnologie, insbesondere zur (Daten-) Verbindung, mit der Übertragungseinheit, insbesondere einem Schnittstellenelement der Übertragungseinheit, geeignet sein. Entsprechend kann die Übertragungseinheit, insbesondere das Schnittstellenelement, ebenfalls zur zumindest teilweisen Bereitstellung und/oder Durchführung der Kommunikationstechnologie der Kommunikationsschnittstelle ausgeführt sein. Dies ermöglicht eine einfache und sichere Übertragung der Informationen. Die Durchführung der Kommunikationstechnologie bzw. die zumindest teilweise Bereitstellung umfasst dabei auch den Fall, dass ggf. noch weitere Komponenten außerhalb des Schnittstellenelements bzw. der Kommunikationsschnittstelle (wie eine Energiequelle, eine Antenne oder dergleichen) zur vollständigen Bereitstellung notwendig sind.Preferably, the communication interface of the communication unit is designed for the at least partial provision and / or execution of at least one of the following communication technologies:

• Bluetooth, especially BLE,
• WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network),
• Mobile radio, in particular UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) or LTE (Long Term Evolution) or the like,
• Ethernet,
• NFC (Near Field Communication).

In this case, the communication interface for (possibly wireless) communication via the corresponding communication technology, in particular for (data) connection, with the transmission unit, in particular an interface element of the transmission unit, be suitable. Accordingly, the transmission unit, in particular the interface element, also at least partially Provision and / or implementation of the communication technology of the communication interface be executed. This allows easy and secure transmission of information. The implementation of the communication technology or the at least partial provision also includes the case that, if necessary, further components outside the interface element or the communication interface (such as an energy source, an antenna or the like) are necessary for complete provision.

Preferably, the door component can be brought into at least one movement state, for example, to perform a movement from a first state to a second state (or vice versa). For example, the first state may be an open state, and the second state may be, for example, a closed state of the door component. Thus, a first movement process, for example, an opening of the door component and a second movement process, for example, a closing of the door component. For example. In this case, the closed state serves to close a passage (in particular for persons), and / or it serves the opened state to release a passage (for persons in particular to go through). Thus, the door component may preferably be designed as a movable door leaf of a person's door. The door system is designed in particular as an automatic door system and / or door system. This makes it possible to provide a plurality of door functions which can be performed at least partially automatically depending on a configuration.

Preferably, the door component is in (eg mechanical) operative connection with the drive unit, so that the drive unit transfers into the state of movement (ie the movement or the Moving operation) of the door component can cause. For this purpose, the drive unit comprises, for example, at least one (electric) motor or the like. It is also conceivable that at least one further motor of the drive unit is provided, or possibly at least one further drive unit, in order to control, for example, a lock and / or a lock of the door component. Also, if necessary, at least one further component of the door system for performing a door function can be controlled by the control unit, for example an electromagnet or a camera or a lighting or the like. This allows extensive automation in the door system.

• Anschlagtür (Schwenktür), wobei vorzugsweise die Türkomponente schwenkbar ausgeführt ist,
• Schiebetür, wobei vorzugsweise die Türkomponente verschiebbar ausgeführt ist,
• Schwenkschiebetür, wobei vorzugsweise die Türkomponente sowohl verschiebbar als auch schwenkbar ausgeführt ist,
• Falttür,
• (Karussell-) Drehtür, wobei die Türkomponente drehbar ausgeführt ist und/oder fest mit einem drehbar gelagerten Verbindungselement verbunden ist.

The door system, in particular the door component, may, for example, have at least one of the following door designs or be designed in accordance with these door designs:

• Stop door (swing gate), wherein preferably the door component is designed to be pivotable,
• Sliding door, wherein preferably the door component is designed to be displaceable,
• Pivoting sliding door, wherein preferably the door component is designed both displaceable and pivotable,
• folding door,
• (Carousel) revolving door, wherein the door component is rotatable and / or is fixedly connected to a rotatably mounted connecting element.

Preferably, the door component (or at least one of the door components of the door system / door systems) may also be used as a personal door and / or fire door and / or outer door and / or inner door and / or front door and / or smoke protection door and / or Burglar-resistant door and / or security door and / or room door (each example of a building or a house) may be formed.

Furthermore, under a door component in a broader sense, a gate can be understood, wherein the door component is not designed as a gate in the strict sense. The same applies to the door system, which may have a gate in the broader sense, but not in the narrower sense, that is, in other words scoreless.

In particular, a plurality of door components of the same or different types may also be provided in the door system and / or in one object in order thus to provide extensive automation possibilities. For example. On the basis of the configuration and / or on the basis of the drive parameters and / or on the basis of the control unit, the door components can be controlled as a function of one another, in particular moved and / or locked. Thus, advantageously complex door functions, such as a lock function, can be provided.

• wenigstens eine Speicherkomponente, bspw. ein nicht-flüchtiger Datenspeicher,
• wenigstens eine Sensorkomponente, bspw. ein elektronischer Sensor,
• wenigstens eine Empfangskomponente, bspw. eine Antenne oder ein Funkempfänger,
• wenigstens eine Zählerkomponente zur Zählung eines Nutzungszyklus der Türkomponente,
• wenigstens eine Verarbeitungskomponente, bspw. ein integrierter Schaltkreis oder ein Mikroprozessor oder Mikrocontroller oder dergleichen,
• wenigstens eine Ortungskomponente, bspw. ein GPS-Sensor (Global Positioning System Sensor).

It is further conceivable that the recognition unit has at least one electronic component and / or at least one of the following components, which may each be embodied as an electronic component:

• at least one memory component, for example a non-volatile data memory,
• at least one sensor component, for example an electronic sensor,
• at least one receiving component, for example an antenna or a radio receiver,
• at least one meter component for counting a usage cycle of the door component,
• at least one processing component, for example an integrated circuit or a microprocessor or microcontroller or the like,
• at least one locating component, for example a GPS sensor (Global Positioning System Sensor).

Thus, it is possible that the detection unit is designed to perform a recognition of the at least one drive parameter, d. H. in particular to determine the at least one drive parameter, preferably to detect and / or to collect and / or measure.

For example. In this case, the sensor component can be used to carry out a measurement and / or detection in the drive unit and / or the door component. For this purpose, the sensor component is preferably arranged in the region of the drive unit and / or door component and / or aligned with it. For example. For example, a speed of a drive and / or output shaft of the drive unit can be measured by the sensor component, and / or a time duration of the movement of the door component from a first state to a second state (ie, a movement process) can be measured. It may also be possible that a utilization cycle of the door system is determined based on the detection of the sensor component. The utilization cycle is, for example, dependent on each individual movement process from the first to the second state (for example, the opening and closing of the door component) or a combination of the movement processes (for example, the opening and subsequent closing is counted). Thus, the advantage can be achieved that a stress and possibly a maintenance condition of the door system can be determined.

Furthermore, it may be possible for the detection unit, in particular by at least one sensor component of the detection unit, to perform a current and / or voltage measurement on the door system, in particular in the drive unit, so that the drive parameter is determined on the basis of the current and / or voltage measurement , For example. In this case, a comparison of a measured value of the measurement is carried out with at least one limit value, so that preferably the drive parameter includes information about exceeding the limit value by the measured value. For example. indicates the measurement of a critical operating state or state of stress of the door system, so that it can be detected early, in particular based on the drive parameter. The drive parameter may be specific to a result of this measurement.

Optionally, the sensor component and / or the processing component and / or the receiving component of the recognition unit are each embodied as electronic components which, for example, are arranged on a printed circuit board and / or are electrically connected to one another at least partially via printed conductors. The processing component is embodied, for example, as an integrated circuit, for example as a microcontroller, in order in particular to carry out a processing and / or determination of the drive parameter quickly and efficiently.

• Resistiver Sensor, bspw. mit einem temperaturabhängigen (elektrischen) Widerstand zur Temperaturmessung,
• Optischer Sensor, bspw. mit wenigstens einer Photodiode und/oder wenigstens einem Kamerasensor (z. B. CCD-Sensor),
• Akustischer Sensor, bspw. als Mikrophon,
• Magnetischer Sensor, bspw. als Hall-Sensor,
• Induktiver Sensor,
• Kapazitiver Sensor,
• Thermoelektrischer Sensor.

It may be possible for the at least one sensor component to be designed according to at least one of the following sensor types:

• Resistive sensor, eg with a temperature-dependent (electrical) resistance for temperature measurement,
• Optical sensor, for example with at least one photodiode and / or at least one camera sensor (eg CCD sensor),
• Acoustic sensor, for example as a microphone,
• Magnetic sensor, for example as Hall sensor,
• Inductive sensor,
• Capacitive sensor,
• Thermoelectric sensor.

This advantageously makes it possible to determine drive parameters on the basis of the detection results of the sensor component (s), which may possibly be evaluated, in particular compared with one another, in order to conclude complex relationships based on the drive parameters. This evaluation can be done, for example, by the storage system or by the storage system by a data processing system.

• wenigstens eine Antennenkomponente,
• wenigstens eine (De-) Modulationskomponente, insbesondere zur Kommunikation bzw. zum Demodulieren von (mit der Antennenkomponente) empfangenen Signalen bzw. Nachrichten,
• wenigstens ein Verstärkerelement zum Verstärken von empfangenen Signalen.

Furthermore, it may be possible for the recognition unit to have at least one receiving component which, for example, comprises at least one of the following elements:

• at least one antenna component,
• at least one (de-) modulation component, in particular for the communication or for the demodulation of signals or messages received (with the antenna component),
• at least one amplifier element for amplifying received signals.

The receiving component can, for. B. an Internet interface and / or a radio interface, in particular Bluetooth and / or mobile radio interface, and / or a (straight-ahead) receiver for the Receiving a time signal (eg DCF77). Furthermore, it is conceivable that a signal received by the receiving component and / or processed by the recognition unit comprises at least one Internet signal (eg data packets) and / or at least one time signal and / or at least one radio signal (Bluetooth and / or mobile radio communication signal). Thus, the drive parameters can preferably be determined on the basis of the processed signal. It is also possible for the recognition unit, in particular the receiving component, to receive and / or process different signals and / or messages, in particular of a different type (eg time signals and Internet signals). These different signals / messages can then be used, for example, to determine a single or different drive parameters. Optionally, therefore, a combination and / or a comparison of the signals / messages can be performed to determine drive parameters with high relevance to an operation of the door system.

It can advantageously be possible for the recognition unit to determine the drive parameter based on a locating signal of a locating component and / or a network or Internet signal (ie, for example via Internet communication), for example as weather information (eg temperature and / or wind) and / or (geographical) location information and / or time information and / or the like. Optionally, this information, in particular the weather information, can also be compared with a further piece of information (for example a geographical location information of the locating component). Thus, for example, by determining the location information, the door system can be located, ie the location of the detection unit can be determined. This information can be used, for example, depending on the location and / or the weather and / or time to determine at least one drive parameter and thus advantageously operate and / or program the drive unit as a function of this drive parameter. This makes it possible, for example, to keep the door component closed or locked at certain times of the day or weekdays (permanently). For example, on other days of the week or at other times of the day, the door component can be kept open (permanently).

Furthermore, it is conceivable that the recognition unit determines the drive parameter from a memory component, for example as a serial number or identifier (identifier), which is specifically and / or uniquely assigned to the door system. This allows a clear identification of the door system based on the corresponding drive parameter. For this purpose, for example (after a successful transmission), a comparison of the drive parameter with further (predetermined) data in a door system remote storage system can be made. It is also conceivable that the identifier or the data in the memory component are at least partially cryptographically secured so as to prevent manipulation of the data.

It is also conceivable that the detection unit for determining the Internet signal and / or further information for determining the drive parameter performs a communication with the communication unit. This communication is, for example, a communication via the transmission unit, for example as radio, in particular Bluetooth communication, or via an additional communication unit (for example, also on the door system side). This makes it possible that information of the communication unit, for example. Internet information or the like, can be used by the recognition unit for determining the drive parameter.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the transmission unit (of the door system) is designed for (possibly wireless) communication with the communication unit and / or with at least one further communication unit and / or communication apparatus and / or with further transmission units (other door systems). In particular, this communication is designed as a unidirectional or bidirectional communication. For example, it may be possible for the transmission unit (only or at least partially) to be provided for transmitting the drive parameter (at least one and possibly the recognition unit) to the communication unit. Alternatively or additionally, it may also be possible for the transmission unit to receive at least information, preferably drive information, from the communication unit. For example. In this way, drive information, in particular also drive parameters or other information relevant for driving the door component, can be transmitted from the communication unit to the transmission unit, and preferably subsequently the drive unit can be operated based on the transmitted drive information. For example. serve this drive information for programming the drive unit or the like. Thus, the operation of the door system can be significantly simplified.

It may be possible for the transmission unit to be designed as a radio interface device, preferably as a mobile radio or Bluetooth interface device, particularly preferably as a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) interface device. In other words, it may be possible for the transmission unit to have a (first) interface element which is designed to carry out radio communication, in particular mobile radio or Bluetooth, preferably BLE, preferably for emitting and / or receiving the at least one drive parameter. Furthermore, it may be possible for the transmission unit to be permanently integrated in the door system and / or for communication with a further transmission unit of at least one further door system, in particular in the same object or in another object, so that networking of the door systems is possible. For this networking, the transmission unit may, for example, also the (first) interface element or another (second) interface element, for. B. for another communication technology, possibly a network communication (eg. Mobile communication) use. Thus, flexible communication options can be created.

It may be possible for the transmission unit to have the detection unit and / or a further detection unit in order to determine the (or at least one further) drive parameter. Alternatively or additionally, connection information about a transmission (transmission / reception) of the transmission unit can also be used as a drive parameter. For example. This drive parameter can be transferred to the storage system.

For example. For example, a first door system can have a first transmission unit, and if necessary, communicate directly or directly with the communication unit (possibly wirelessly) (for example, for transmission of the drive parameter of the first door system). A second door system may, for example, have a second transmission unit in order to communicate via the second transmission unit with the first transmission unit of the first door system, in particular for transmission of drive parameters of the second door system. It may also be possible that further door systems with further transmission units are provided to communicate with the first transmission unit of the first door system, in particular to transmit respective drive parameters to the communication unit. Thus, a comprehensive and flexibly installable infrastructure for networking different door systems (with respective door components) can take place. In this case, the transmission units may, for example, be of identical design and / or each have a second interface element for communication with one another and / or it may be possible for only the first transmission unit to have the (first) interface element for communication with the communication unit.

As a further possibility for networking the door systems, it is conceivable that at least two or three or four or more door systems are provided, which each have a transmission unit. It may be possible for one or more of the door systems (directly) to be able to communicate with the communication unit (possibly wirelessly) (ie to send, receive and / or transmit information to the communication unit, for example drive parameters). Furthermore, it may be possible for a (possibly wireless) transmission of information, such as drive parameters, to be carried out between different transmission units of at least two or more of the door systems, ie the door systems are networked via the transmission units. In this way, the communication of at least one of the transmission units of at least one of the door systems with the communication unit can also be used by other door systems in order in particular to transmit respective particular drive parameters. It may also be possible for the other door systems to be controllable by the communication unit via the communication of at least one of the door systems with the communication unit (for example, controllable and / or configurable), and thus in particular a bidirectional communication takes place. For example, it may be possible that when the communication unit is in the vicinity of one of the transmission units of the door systems, a communication of the communication unit via this transmission unit with all of the networked door systems is possible.

Furthermore, it is likewise conceivable that the door system (or in the case of several door systems at least one of the door systems) has the communication unit in addition to or instead of the transmission unit. For example. can then transfer units of the other door systems connect to the communication unit, for example, drive parameters to the storage system (possibly wirelessly) to transfer. Preferably, the communication unit can be integrated in the door system, in particular original, or subsequently retrofitted. This has the advantage that possibly only one of the door systems must be equipped with the interface element of the transmission unit, and yet all door systems can transmit drive parameters to the storage system, so that the costs and the complexity of the overall system can be reduced.

Preferably, the communication unit in the door system (or in at least one of the door systems) may be integrated or separately from the door system, for example. Portable, executed. Preferably, the communication unit (possibly integrated or portable in the door system) differs from the transmission unit (or transmission units) of the door system in that the communication unit has at least one transmission interface (related to the communication technology), in particular radio transmission interface, in comparison to the transmission unit.

For example. the communication unit comprises a radio transmission interface, which z. B. may be implemented as a mobile radio interface or WLAN interface to establish a data connection to a network. In particular, the transmission unit may not be suitable for carrying out this communication technology of the communication unit, such as mobile radio communication and / or WLAN communication. Thus, the production cost of the door system and / or the transmission unit can be reduced because one or more door systems can use the data connection of the communication unit.

It is also conceivable that the transmission unit (and / or communication unit and / or communication device) is designed to be retrofitted, in particular as retrofit means, preferably as an adapter stick, in particular a Bluetooth stick or the like. It is conceivable that this retrofit (eg as a Bluetooth stick) later, ie only after the first complete installation of the door system, with the door system (electrically and / or electronically and / or mechanically fixed, in particular via a port or a port interface element ) can be connected. Preferably, the transmission unit provides, in particular by means of an interface element, a first communication technology for the door system, for example a radio communication, preferably Bluetooth or BLE, in order to communicate with the communication unit and / or to transmit the drive parameter. This allows existing door systems with the corresponding communication capability of the first communication technology also subsequently and inexpensively equip, and thus make the door system in a simple way to communicate. Furthermore, a second communication technology of the communication unit can also be used by communication with the communication unit or by the transmission of the drive parameter by the communication unit, for example a WLAN or mobile radio communication, which differs in particular from the first communication technology. In particular, the door system originally and / or outside the transmission unit provides neither the first nor the second communication technology. Thus, by using the transmission unit in a simple and cost-effective manner, the door system can be extended by at least the first (direct) and possibly indirectly the second communication technology. In other words, the transmission unit can also be used as an adapter for the door system for communication with the communication unit.

It may preferably be possible for a communication range of the transmission unit, in particular a radio interface of the transmission unit, to be a maximum of 50 m or a maximum of 20 m or a maximum of 10 m or a maximum of 5 m. This makes it possible to ensure energy-saving communication (eg via BLE) and / or increased security.

Optionally, it may also be possible that the transmission unit is originally integrated in the door system and therefore not retrofittable. For example. the transmission unit can be permanently and / or permanently connected to the door system, for example to a circuit board and / or further electronic components of the door system. Thus, a door system with a high level of functionality for the transmission of drive parameters can be provided.

It is also conceivable that a retrofit means, preferably the transmission unit, particularly preferably as an adapter and / or Bluetooth stick, for functional expansion with the door system (subsequently and / or releasably) is connected or is. In this way, already assembled or older door systems can be equipped with a transmission unit. For example. the retrofit means may serve to provide a communication method or transmission method, e.g. B. for transmission of (drive) information, such as at least one drive parameter, via Bluetooth. It is also conceivable that these transmitted (drive) information serve to carry out a check (that is to say, for example, control and / or regulation and / or configuration, such as programming) of the door system, in particular of the drive unit. Optionally, for such a check (original, that is, already since the first assembly), a (possibly electro) mechanical switching device, in particular a key switch or the like, may also be provided.

It is conceivable that the door system has a (mechanical) switching device for (manual) control and / or operation of the door system, in particular for operation by a user, preferably by using a mechanical key. It may be possible that when connecting a retrofit means, in particular the transmission unit, with the door system, the switching device of the door system is taken out of service (disabled) to prevent (manual) control of the switching device. This has the advantage that control can then take place exclusively via the retrofit means or via the information transmitted thereby. Optionally, however, a manual control can be provided, for example. by transmitting information from a communication unit to the transmission unit, wherein if necessary the information is determined and / or influenced by an operator of the communication unit (eg via a smartphone app). The transmitted information, in particular drive information, then serve, for example, to control the drive unit and / or to configure (eg, programming) the door system.

Thus, it can be provided, for example, that an at least partially automatic and / or manual operation, in particular a configuration and / or control of the door system, in particular the drive unit and / or a door function and / or the door component, is carried out on the basis of drive information. The drive information in this case comprises, for example, information determined by an operator and / or at least one drive parameter and / or information determined using at least one drive parameter (eg configurations which were generated based on the drive parameters of the memory system). For example. the drive information is transmitted from the communication unit to the transmission unit and / or determined by the transmission unit and / or determined by the control unit.

It may, for example, be possible for an operator to connect the communication unit via a computer program, in particular an app, eg. As smartphone app or computer app or the like uses. The computer program is executed, for example, on the communication unit in order to influence the operation of the door system and / or to evaluate drive parameters. This allows a particularly comfortable operation and / or configuration of the door system. Depending on at least one operator input and / or of At least one of the drive parameters can then be used, for example, to determine drive information and / or to be transmitted to the door system, in particular the transmission unit (possibly wirelessly). Possibly. Then, a further transmission of the drive information from the transmission unit to the control unit of the door system. The drive information is then evaluated, for example, by the transmission unit and / or by the control unit and possibly driven in dependence on this evaluation, the drive unit. For example. For example, when the first drive information is transmitted and / or evaluated, the door component can be opened, and the door component can be closed during the transmission and / or evaluation of a second drive information, which differs from the first drive information. Also, for example, based on the drive information, a configuration or programming of the door system can be determined. This allows easy operation of the door system.

In this case, a configuration, in particular a programming, for the door system includes, for example, information and / or parameters for a performance of the door system, for example whether and / or when and / or in which mode certain door functions are executed, preferably at and at what times a certain movement process of the door component is to be performed (for example, an opening at a first daily or weekly time or closing at a second daily or weekly time). Advantageously, the configuration may also include information as to what times and / or over what duration the door component should be (fully) closed or opened. Furthermore, it is also conceivable, possibly as a further door function, that a movement behavior, for example a closing or opening, can be parameterized via the configuration (for example the opening or closing speed or the opening or closing speed) Closing acceleration or the like). Also, further programming is conceivable in order to be able to activate certain door functions (eg time-controlled or event-controlled) and / or to specify an authentication specification for a door function. For example. can then be executed only in response to a successful authentication at least one specific door function.

Furthermore, if necessary, a mode can also be determined by the configuration. The mode can be, for example, a time-controlled or an event-controlled or a manual or a remote-controlled mode. In the remote-controlled mode, it is conceivable that by a transmission of information to the transmission unit, for example. Via the Internet and / or the communication unit, drive information is transmitted and so in particular the control of the door system based on the transmitted drive information. In the manual mode, for example, drive information set on the communication unit by a user and transmitted by the communication unit can be used for the control. A combination of different modes can also be configured if necessary. This allows flexible and adaptive operation of the door system.

The door functions include, for example, certain movement operations performed in a particular manner and / or in response to defaults (such as authentication depending on an authentication default such as a password or the like). Furthermore, it may be possible to provide configurations and / or door functions that maintain a state of the door component (eg, maintaining the open or closed state).

In particular, it may be useful to perform the door functions as a function of the drive parameters (for example, to keep the door component completely closed at certain times). This has the advantage that the door system can be made flexible and fully configurable.

It may be possible that certain configurations and / or door functions cause a complete blockage and / or a one-sided blockage (so that, for example, the door component can only be opened from one side). For this purpose, z. B. a coupling of a door handle (door handle) of the door component with a lock of the door component depending on the configuration and / or door function controlled (eg.) Are controlled, for example. Such that only the operation of a door handle on one of the sides of the door component ( ie a one-sided operation) for actuating the lock, in particular a latch, leads. Thus, for example, a useful function for many applications of the door system can be provided, for example, for exit doors, which are intended to allow only one-sided opening from the inside, but no entry from the outside.

For the detection or determination of the at least one drive parameter, it may be provided that the detection unit receives and / or evaluates signals, for example of electrical signals of at least one sensor component and / or of received signals of a communication connection, for example of internet data , For example, by a receiving component of the detection unit. It may be possible that these drive parameters are at least partially already collected by the original door system, and / or provided by an original existing interface. Drive parameters, which originated by the door system by the recognition unit can, for example, a cycle of use (eg., As a cycle number, ie, for example, a count of movement operations, such as opening and / or closing operations) and / or an operating time and / or an identifier (such a serial number) and / or a configuration (such as programming the door system) and / or an operation log (usage log) and / or at least one error information and / or the like. In addition, it may be possible for other drive parameters also to be determined, possibly also by other devices or from sources other than the recognition unit (such as, for example, image information by a camera sensor of the communication unit, which may then be transmitted wirelessly to the transmission unit, if necessary can be). This allows extensive information to be used to determine the drive parameters.

It is also conceivable for at least one interface element of the transmission unit to be provided for transmitting and / or transmitting the drive parameters (determined by the recognition unit) to the communication unit (and / or from the communication unit to the recognition unit and / or to the control unit of the door system) , The interface element serves, for example, to send information (in particular drive parameters) to the communication unit and / or to receive it from the communication unit. In this case, the interface element can thus be embodied as a unidirectional or bidirectional communication interface element, so that optionally an information transmission in only one or in two directions is possible. Furthermore, optionally, another interface means or also a further interface element can be provided in order to provide information, such as the drive parameter, to further components of the door system or to to transfer and / or receive further door systems (possibly wirelessly). The further components include, for example, the recognition unit and / or the control unit. It may also be possible for the transmission unit to comprise a memory element in order to store the information (such as the drive parameters) persistently or temporarily. In particular, retrofitting of the transmission unit is thereby made possible in that the transmission unit is adapted to an interface already present in the door system, for example a maintenance interface or the like, and / or connected to it (electrically), in particular via a connection interface element.

Optionally, the transmission unit may comprise a memory element for storing at least one drive parameter. In this case, the memory element can be designed as a non-volatile data memory, for example as a flash memory. It may also be possible for the transmission unit to have a processing element in order to carry out a processing and / or evaluation and / or analysis of the at least one drive parameter. Accordingly, the transmission unit can be designed as an "intelligent" transmission unit, and thus easily integrate a plurality of functions in the door system. Thus, the functionality of the door system can be considerably expanded in a cost effective and technically simple manner. Alternatively, it may also be possible for the transmission unit to be designed without a memory element (or the memory element may be provided only for intermediate storage), so that only a transmission of data takes place by the transmission unit. In this case, it is z. For example, it is possible that a large part of the processing (for example, for evaluation or retransmission of the drive parameter to the storage system) by the Communication unit is adopted. Thus, the effort to manufacture the transmission unit can be further reduced.

Preferably, the door system and / or the transmission unit can be designed to be retrofittable such that the door system without the transmission unit has no network and / or Bluetooth communication capability and / or only a communication capability that is out of date (ie version lower) than the transmission unit and / or only one Wired communication capability includes. Accordingly, it may be possible that the transmission unit extends the communication capability of the door system when integrated into the door system. For this purpose, the transmission unit can, for example, be connected to a specially provided for the transmission unit and thus specific to the transmission unit interface of the door system. Such an interface may, for example, be provided at the control unit. It may also be possible for the transmission unit to be connected to an existing (unspecific for the transmission unit) interface of the door system, for example a bus and / or network and / or serial interface of an already present in the door system communication capability. Thus, the advantage can be achieved that the transmission unit uses an existing (possibly technically inflexible, eg wired) interface of the door system, and this by a further interface (ie an interface element, which may be a more technically flexible interface, such a radio interface) in a technically simpler way.

The transmission unit can preferably have a processing element and / or a memory element in order, if necessary, to transmit complex processing (in particular via the interface) To perform data, for example, a conversion into drive parameters or in a specific (digital) format of the drive parameters. Alternatively, it may also be possible for the transmission unit to be free of memory and / or processing elements and / or to perform no processing of the transmitted data and / or to perform no conversion of the transmitted data which is not only necessary at a transmission protocol level (ie there is no change in the information or user data to be transmitted). In other words, the transmission unit can also carry out only a transmission that is independent of the actual data transmission (for example of the drive parameter), for example from the (original) interface of the door system to the interface element of the transmission unit, so that transmission of the drive parameter can take place therefrom.

It may also be possible for the transmission unit to have a sensor system, for example the detection unit, in order, for example, to carry out a determination of the drive parameters. Thus, (at least some) of the drive parameters to be transmitted can be determined by the transmission unit itself. As a result, if applicable, the expandability of the door system can also be increased if additional sensors can also be provided by the transmission unit.

Furthermore, it may also be possible that the communication unit has at least one data memory and / or at least one processing means, for example an integrated circuit and / or processor, in order to preferably store and / or process and / or evaluate the at least one drive parameter. For example. this can be done an analysis of the stored drive parameters, z. B. via an app of the communication unit. The data memory serves, for example, to the persistent Storage of the at least one drive parameter. Alternatively, the data memory can also serve only for temporary storage of the drive parameter or it can not be stored, so that the communication unit merely serves to transmit the drive parameter to the storage system. This allows in particular an improvement of the transmission of the drive parameters.

A particular advantage can result from the fact that the at least one (specific) drive parameter does not have to be transmitted directly from the door system or the recognition unit of the door system to the storage system remote from the door system, but rather via the transmission unit and / or via the communication unit (possibly wirelessly) can be. In particular, the door system can thus be designed in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner since no complex electronics or interface for transmitting the drive parameter directly to the storage system must be provided in the recognition unit or in the door system. Such electronics / interface must for data transmission, for example. Carry out a complex network and / or Internet communication, if the storage system through the door system only via a network (Local Area Network, ie LAN, or wireless LAN or mobile network or Internet) can be reached , This drastically increases the complexity of manufacturing and assembling the door system as well as the complexity and energy consumption. On the other hand, the transmission (ie in particular the transmission) of the at least one drive parameter via or through the transmission unit to the communication unit can be carried out in a technically simpler and more energy-efficient manner. For example, the transmission unit BLE can be used to carry out the transmission to the communication unit. The further transmission of the at least one drive parameter then takes place the communication unit. Since the communication unit may, for example, be a device which is already being used by an operator and / or is already connected to the network, in particular the Internet and / or mobile network, this can result in a significant energy saving or saving of the technical effort. For example. In this case, the communication unit is designed as a smartphone of the operator, and / or comprises a computer program which is adapted for the transmission and / or to the door system and / or to the transmission unit.

A further advantage can result from the fact that the at least one (specific) drive parameter does not have to be transmitted directly from the door system or the recognition unit of the door system to the communication unit, but is transmitted to the communication unit via the transmission unit. This allows, for example, the simple retrofitting or adaptation of the door system with the transmission unit.

It may further be possible for a plurality of door systems and / or transmission units to be designed for transmission of the at least one drive parameter and / or further information to (at least or exactly) one (single) communication unit. In particular, it may be possible for the communication unit to have connection information for a plurality of door systems and / or transmission units. This has the advantage that these multiple door systems and / or transmission units can jointly use the one communication unit to transmit information (such as the at least one drive parameter) to the storage system. This can also be a further cost and / or energy savings. It may also be possible that (Only) one of the door systems, the communication unit (eg., Permanently integrated) has and / or is connected to such. It may also be possible for the communication unit to be embodied as a portable communication unit, and possibly to be brought into the vicinity of the respective door systems and / or transmission units for transmission.

In particular, it may be provided that the at least one drive parameter is transmitted to the storage system cyclically and / or at irregular intervals, for example at most once a day (or also at most every second or third day), in particular via the transmission unit and / or communication unit. This has the advantage that the communication unit does not have to be permanently connected to the storage system in data connection, so that a further energy saving is possible. For example. It can be provided that a transmission of the drive parameter (ie possibly a transmission of the drive parameter or all specific and possibly cached drive parameters by the transmission unit) takes place only at certain times or for certain events and / or takes place in certain time intervals and / or only takes place when the communication unit is in communication range to the transmission unit. For example. Therefore, it may also be possible for the transmission unit to have a memory element in order to buffer the drive parameters (determined by the detection unit) until they are transmitted. This can further improve energy efficiency.

It is conceivable that the communication unit and / or at least one further communication unit as a mobile radio communication unit, in particular as a mobile phone, and / or as a smartphone and / or as Smartwatch and / or as a wearable (wearable computer) and / or as a computer and / or as a laptop and / or as part of another door system is executed. The communication unit preferably comprises at least one sensor, for example a position sensor (for example a GPS sensor) and / or an acceleration sensor and / or a camera sensor and / or an acoustic sensor.

It can be provided that the communication unit (or at least one of the communication units), in particular the at least one sensor of the communication unit, is used to determine the at least one drive parameter. For example. It may be possible that the detection unit of the door system for determining first drive parameters and the communication unit for determining second drive parameters is provided, wherein the first and second drive parameters differ from each other. For example. For example, the at least one drive parameter determined by the communication unit (s) can be transmitted via a wireless data transmission to the door system and / or to the storage system, and if necessary temporarily stored in the door system and / or in the communication unit before the (respective) transmission. The at least one drive parameter may be determined by the communication unit in that detection by at least one sensor and / or retrieval of information, for example via an internet connection (eg from weather data) and / or via a user interface (eg B. from a user input) takes place.

Furthermore, it may be possible for the communication unit to have at least one transmission interface, preferably a radio transmission interface, in particular one Mobile communication interface and / or WLAN and / or Bluetooth interface. Preferably, the transmission interface can be designed to carry out the transmission of the at least one received drive parameter (at least partially via radio and / or wireless). In particular, the (possibly wireless) transmission of the (at least one received) drive parameter takes place at least partially via radio to a remote door system memory system, in particular to a door system remote database, so preferably the transmitted drive parameters door system remotely (by the storage system) can be provided.

It can be provided that the communication unit is operated by a computer program, wherein the computer program is for example stored persistently in a data memory of the communication unit. In particular, the computer program can be implemented as a smartphone app. The computer program is used, for example, to evaluate the received drive parameter and / or to initiate the transmission to the storage system and / or to the transmission unit of the door system.

In this case, the communication unit, in particular the computer program, may preferably have one or more connection information to one or more transmission units or door systems. For example. a plurality of connection information may be provided, which each allow the connection to different door systems and / or associated with different door components or door systems. In this case, the respective connection information in an initial connection process, in particular a Bluetooth pairing, can preferably be arranged between the communication unit and a respective transmission unit (possibly a respective one or a single transmission unit) Door system). Thus, the computer program can manage the connection to a plurality of transmission units and / or door systems so as to receive drive parameters from these respective transmission units or door systems and / or to transmit them to the memory system. In particular, thus a secure connection can be ensured.

Preferably, the transmission unit may have a (door system-side) connection information and / or a security feature, wherein particularly preferably the connection information and / or the security feature is stored in a memory element of the transmission unit (persistent). For example. the connection information and / or the security feature of the transmission unit comprises at least one identifier and / or at least one key and / or at least one password and / or the like.

It may be possible for the connection information to be at least partially determined, in particular generated, during a (possibly first) connection with the communication unit (first connection process), for example on the basis of the security feature as a permanently prescribed security feature. Preferably, a first (door system side) connection information of the transmission unit is provided, and a second (communication unit side) connection information of the communication unit is provided. For example. For example, in a connection process, in particular the initial connection process or other connection processes, the first can be compared with the second connection information so as to perform an authentication. Preferably, depending on this comparison, a connection between the transmission unit and the communication unit authorized to transmit the drive parameter and / or manufactured.

In particular, the (door-system-side) connection information and / or the security feature (such as a password) can be stored at least partially fixedly and / or unchangeably in the transmission unit, preferably cryptographically secured.

It may also be possible for the (door system-side) connection information and / or the security feature to be variable and, for example, to be changeable by the communication unit, preferably via the computer program of the communication unit. For this purpose, an (possibly additional and / or more rigorous) authentication may be necessary in order to eliminate a cryptographic protection of the connection information and / or the security feature, and thus to enable the change. Preferably, the (door-system-side) connection information and / or the security feature can also be stored in another component of the door system (for example in a door closer), and be read out by the transmission unit.

Furthermore, it is also conceivable for the transmission of the drive parameter by the transmission unit and / or the reception of the drive parameter by the communication unit to be connectionless and / or encrypted.

Furthermore, it may be possible for at least one or each connection between the communication unit and the transmission unit (ie in the connection process) to have at least one connection protocol information, in particular user information and / or a time stamp and / or a connection duration and / or information transmitted by the connection, in particular control information and / or configuration, and / or the like, are evaluated and / or stored and / or logged. Preferably, at least one of the drive parameters can be determined depending on the connection protocol information, for example the user information. In this way, for example, be evaluated, in particular on the basis of the door system remote storage system, who has made if necessary at what time the connection. For example. can also be evaluated, which control information has been transmitted (for example, from the communication unit to the transmission unit for control, in particular control, the door component). In this case, the user information preferably comprises at least one user identifier, for example an identifier or the like uniquely assigned to the user of the communication unit and / or connection information (eg user name and password).

It is conceivable that in an object (ie in particular in an installation object, for example a building, or a group or logical combination of door systems or the like) or in several objects, exactly one door system or several door systems are present and / or in each case with a (possibly single) communication unit are used. For example. For example, the communication unit may be integrated in one of the door systems of the object or may be designed to be portable, and thus preferably brought into the communication range of the respective door systems for reception. If the transmission unit of the respective door systems supports a connection-based communication technology, in particular Bluetooth communication, it may be provided that the Communication unit with at least one or each of the respective transmission units connected, for example, be paired, can, if necessary, at different times. It is further possible for a plurality of door components to be provided in each case in the one or more objects, and preferably their respective door function (in particular also the state of motion) can be adapted by the drive parameters. Also, if necessary, several door components may be present in a door system. Preferably, the plurality of door components or the drive units of the respective door components are respectively controlled by a (single) control unit of the respective door systems (for example, controlled).

The at least one drive parameter (received by the communication unit) can advantageously be transmitted via the communication unit to a memory system remote from the door system (possibly at least partially wirelessly), ie, for example, from the communication unit to the memory system. B. be sent over a network, and / or subsequently received by the storage system, and / or vice versa. Optionally, the drive parameter received by the memory system may also be forwarded to the door system (in particular the transmission unit) by the communication unit at a later time or another drive parameter (for example for a configuration). It may also be possible for the communication unit (in particular via a computer program such as an app) to determine a configuration of the door system and / or transmit it to the door system, in particular the transmission unit, on the basis of the drive parameter (in particular received by the memory system). Alternatively or additionally, the configuration can also be created outside this system and / or be transferred from the storage system to the communication unit.

In particular, the term "door remote" refers to the storage system being provided outside the door system. In this case, the memory system may also be provided outside the communication unit. Preferably, the storage system is spatially separated from the door system and / or the communication unit, and in particular has a distance to the door system and / or the communication unit of preferably greater than 1 meter (m), preferably greater than 10 m, particularly preferably greater than 100 m, in particular greater than 1000 m and / or in the range of 1 m to 100 (or 1000 or 10000) kilometers (km), preferably 5 m to 50 km, preferably 10 m to 10 km, particularly preferably 100 m to 1 km. Particularly preferably, the storage system is in data communication with the communication unit, for. Over one or more networks.

In particular, the transmission of the at least one (received) drive parameter from the communication unit to the storage system initially takes place by means of a radio transmission (for example, from the communication unit to at least one intermediate point). The intermediate point is, for example, a hotspot (eg WLAN or mobile radio hotspot) and / or an access point (eg for WLAN) and / or a base station of a mobile radio network and / or a network component (eg hub / Switch / repeater) of a (data) network and / or the like. It may be possible that, in addition to this radio interface transmission, another type of transmission is used, for example a wired transmission in order to control the at least one drive parameter (for example, starting from the intermediate point) Transfer storage system. For example. the storage system can be provided by at least one data processing system, for example in a data center or the like. Thus, it may be possible that (at least partially) to and / or within the data center a wired transmission of the (for example received from the intermediate point) drive parameter takes place. This wired transmission includes, for example, an Internet transmission and / or a network transmission (eg of a Local Area Network) and / or a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) transmission and / or the like. This can ensure a reliable and fast transmission of the drive parameter.

It may also be possible for a plurality of drive parameters to be transmitted bundled for transmission (for example as data packets) and / or encrypted and / or transmitted in a modulated manner.

Preferably, there is no communication between the door system and the door system remote storage system without the use of the communication unit. In other words, in the case of the door system, the communication with the storage system takes place, for example the transfer of the at least one drive parameter, exclusively using the communication unit. This has the advantage that the door system originally does not have to implement the communication technology of the transmission interface of the communication unit, and yet at least indirectly connectable to the memory system.

Preferably, the storage system is implemented as a non-volatile storage system for persistent data storage and / or as a database system. In particular, the storage system provides functions for electronic data management and / or Data storage and / or data provision and / or data analysis and / or data analysis ready. Preferably, the database system is implemented as a relational database system. The database system includes z. B. at least one database and / or a database management system. Furthermore, the memory system can have at least one interface for accessing the data stored therein, for example an SQL interface or the like. The memory system is preferably designed to persistently store and / or manage and / or evaluate the drive parameters transmitted to the memory system, and / or to provide a user interface for performing these functions.

It is conceivable that drive parameters of different door systems (that is to say, for example, the drive parameters of the door system and at least one further drive parameter of another door system) are determined and / or stored and / or evaluated in the storage system. An assignment of the drive parameter to the door system, in which the drive parameter was determined, is preferably carried out, for example, based on an identification of the door system.

In particular, it can also be provided that the drive parameters of the door systems in the storage system and / or door system remote (eg. By an evaluation of the storage system) evaluated, z. B. processed and / or analyzed and / or compared with each other, preferably, so that an evaluation result of the evaluation is determined, in particular which is correlated with the drive parameters of the different door systems. Preferably, at least one of the door systems can be operated and / or checked on the basis of the evaluation result (eg according to an error check) and / or analyzed (for example, a maintenance information to be determined).

Preferably, it may be provided that (in particular door system remote) at least one piece of information, in particular at least one drive parameter of the at least one door system and / or at least one further door system, is read from the storage system and / or processed and / or evaluated and / or analyzed. For this purpose, for example, at least one data processing system, in particular an evaluation unit, is provided, which includes or is connected to the memory system (for example as a database). For example. the evaluation of the information may comprise at least one statistical analysis or the like. Advantageously, drive parameters of different types can be stored in the memory system, for example drive parameters with information about a location of the (respectively assigned) door system (location information) and / or drive parameters with information about an identifier of the respectively assigned door system. It is also conceivable that drive parameters of different door systems are stored in the storage system. The evaluation and / or analysis remote from the door system can then comprise, for example, at least one comparison and / or an evaluation of a correlation of at least part of these stored drive parameters.

For example. An evaluation and / or analysis of the drive parameters (remote from the door system) can take place in such a way that maintenance information (planning information) is determined. Thus, for example, various drive parameters (such as the usage information, usage cycles, identifiers, error information, and / or the like) can be used to determine the door systems in which current or future a maintenance should be carried out. For this purpose, for example, the evaluation and / or analysis can be performed on the basis of predetermined criteria, for. B. perform a comparison of the drive parameters and / or other information. It may also be possible that a trend or a prediction is made on the basis of the drive parameters (for example for defects, failures, maintenance), if necessary also depending on a location. Correspondingly, the evaluation and / or analysis can also include filter functions in order, for example, to use only those drive parameters for evaluation / analysis based on the selected filter which fulfill a specific specification (eg have a specific location information and / or identifier).

Furthermore, it may be possible for a configuration for the door system or at least some of the door systems to be determined on the basis of the evaluation and / or analysis. It is also conceivable that at least one existing configuration is first transmitted by the drive parameters from a door system to the storage system, then modified, and then transferred again to the door system. Thus, for example, the operation of the door system can be improved on the basis of the drive parameters.

It is conceivable that the information to be stored in the door system remote storage system, in particular drive parameters, are transmitted from several door systems and / or multiple communication units to the storage system as a central storage system. For example. The storage system may receive and / or store drive parameters of at least 10 or 100 or 1000 or 10000 different door systems and / or communication units. In particular, a comprehensive information database can be created which allows a reliable analysis.

For example. The drive parameters may also include manufacturer information and / or partner information. The manufacturer information relates, for example, information about a manufacturer, in particular the door system. The partner information relates, for example, to information, in particular a partner identifier, which are unambiguously assigned to a distribution partner and / or installer of the door system.

It may also be possible for such a partner to obtain a protected access to the stored information associated therewith, for example by means of an authentication on the storage system.

The storage system preferably comprises an access component, for example with a user interface, in order to be able to access the information stored in the storage system and / or to be able to analyze or analyze it.

For example, it is conceivable that by the Computer program an opening and / or closing time for the door system (eg, depending on a time of day) is configured.

Furthermore, it may also be possible that, for example, a (possibly at least partially automatic) functional test is initiated in the door system by the communication unit in order to determine at least one of the drive parameters, in particular based on a result of the functional test. Depending on this functional test, it can be determined, for example, that maintenance of the door system is required. The functional test can be initiated and / or carried out, for example, by the communication unit (that is, in particular by the computer program) and / or by the control unit and / or by the transmission unit and / or by the memory system (or a data processing system connected thereto). In particular, the functional test can be carried out on the basis of at least one of the drive parameters, for example on the basis of image information or the like.

Furthermore, it may be possible for the communication unit to be designed to determine at least one drive parameter for the door system. Thus, for example, a camera sensor of the communication unit can be used to record image and / or video information about the door system, in particular a movement of the door component.

In other words, the at least one drive parameter can be correlated with (the execution) of the door function. Thus, it may be possible for external influences to directly influence the movement of the door component (for example a force acting on the door component, damage, ambient temperature or the like) or indirectly (for example a time of day when the door component is kept closed at certain times of the day or should be). For example. the drive parameter may be specific to at least one of the actions, e.g. B. be a (measurement or other) information about it. It is also conceivable that drive parameters such as a service life, frequency of use (in particular a number of cycles of opening and closing the door component) or (geographical) localization of the door component for the operation of the door system, in particular the movement of the door component, are relevant, ie correlated with this is. A single utilization cycle corresponds, for example, to a complete opening and closing of the door component, ie in particular a complete course of movement.

Alternatively or additionally, the evaluation function can also have a function for determining at least one of the aforementioned first information, for example if this at least one first information is not used to determine the drive parameter and / or these are not immediately known.

It is also conceivable that the transmission unit is designed as a radio, in particular Bluetooth transmission unit, so that the transmission and / or reception of the drive parameter takes place at least partially via Bluetooth, preferably Bluetooth low energy. The use of the Bluetooth or BLE standard enables energy-saving and reliable transmission of the drive parameters. Alternatively or additionally, a near-field communication or another radio communication with the communication unit can also be carried out via the transmission unit. In particular, the transmission unit for transmitting and / or receiving comprises one or more antennas, so that the communication can be carried out reliably.

Preferably, it can be provided that the transmission unit is designed as a retrofittable transmission unit, so that the transmission unit can be subsequently integrated into the door system (retrofittable), in particular in order to make the door system capable of communication in accordance with a radio technology (such as Bluetooth or BLE). For this purpose, the transmission unit is, for example, as a retrofit executed or integrated into a retrofit. This allows a simple extension of the door system with a communication technology, which (possibly in the door system exclusively) is provided by the transmission unit, for example. Bluetooth or BLE. Preferably, the transmission unit also provides further options for receiving and / or transmitting drive parameters and / or evaluating, for example, additionally via a wired communication technology, for.

In particular, the at least one door function information is specific to a configuration of at least one door function of the door system, for example, by the door function information (s) the determination of the individual instructions of a macro can be performed so that macros can be programmed by the communication unit, for example.

For example. For example, the door function information includes at least one instruction for the door system, which may include an action and / or a condition for performing the action (eg, opening the door component at a particular time of day, the opening being the action and the determination of the time of day being the condition ). The instruction may, for example, include one of the following actions, in particular for activating a corresponding door function:

• Opening the door component or at least one of the door components of the door system,
• Closing the door component or at least one of the door components of the door system,

The condition may, for example, comprise a determination of the subsequent events, so that the action is carried out when the event occurs:

• at least one time of day,
• at least one week,
• at least one time (or period) after the calendar, preferably a certain day,
• at least one authentication event, for example the authentication of a specific person or the like,
• a failure event,

• a successful or failed execution of a previous and / or subsequent statement.

It is also conceivable that the condition has a determination of a deactivation event, so that when the deactivation event occurs, the action is (again) deactivated. For this purpose, for example, the aforementioned events can also be used. This allows a flexible and comprehensive configuration of the door system.

For example. It is also possible that a sequence of door function information is set and / or stored, in particular as a drive parameter and / or macro. This sequence can then serve to set complex commands and / or configurations for the door system. The programming of the sequence, in particular of the macro, can be carried out, for example, by the communication unit, in particular via an app. It is also conceivable for sequences of door function information (or macros) pre-stored by the communication unit to be loaded, for example from the (door system remote) storage system. Preferably, the programmed and / or loaded sequence can then be transmitted, in particular wirelessly, from the communication unit to the door system. Thus, the configuration for the door system can be provided, which was determined based on the sequence. Thus, a complex programming of the door system is possible, so as to make the operation flexible and customizable.

It can in particular by the door function information and / or the drive parameter, the configuration specification (eg. Directly) provided be, and / or based on the door function information and / or the drive parameter, the configuration specification (eg indirectly) be provided by the drive parameter and / or the door function information (previously) is evaluated or further processed so as to determine the configuration specification. The evaluation and / or further processing can take place, for example, by the storage system and / or the communication unit and / or by the door system. This allows, for example, a safety test and / or error checking.

Preferably, the configuration, in particular based on the configuration specification, which influences at least one door function, preferably parameterizes and / or controls it. Possibly. Thus, individual door functions can also be selectively activated (by determining corresponding door function information), for example, the door component (or individual door components of the door system) is controlled, eg. B. opened or closed, be. Thus, for example, individual door functions can be specifically activated directly on the communication unit, for example by a user input which in particular triggers a transmission of the drive parameter for activating the door function to the door system. It may also be possible for the door function information to include time information in order, for example, to perform a time programming of the door function (that is to say a time-dependent activation of the door function). This makes the door operation flexibly adaptable and automatable.

The instruction or a plurality of instructions, which then form an instruction sequence, can optionally be evaluated as a configuration specification by the door system so as to influence the operation of the door system. Furthermore, determining the at least one drive parameter based on the determined door function information so that the drive parameter is specific to the configuration preset. For example. the drive parameter comprises at least partially the configuration specification, possibly as a finished macro and / or as a data unit (eg data packet) or the like. Furthermore, it may be provided that the transmission of the at least one specific drive parameter, in particular as a data unit, to the door system is effected by wireless (ie radio) data transmission, so that the configuration specification of a control unit of the door system is provided, for example by a (intermediate) ) Saving and / or evaluating the information of the drive parameter in the door system. Subsequently, an adjustment of the operation of the door component by the control unit based on the provided configuration specification, for. B. based on the stored and / or evaluated information of the drive parameter. For example. For example, a control unit of the door system or another component of the door system can evaluate the sequence in order to control a drive unit or the like of the door system on the basis of the sequence. In this case, it may be possible for door function information of the sequence to possibly also relate to one another and / or be executed repeatedly in order to also enable complex operation of the door system.

Furthermore, it is also conceivable that a specific door function is executed (activated) by a single door function information and / or by a single drive parameter, for example an opening or closing of the door component. In particular, an app of the communication unit can be present for this purpose, via which the (wireless) transmission of the respective door function information and / or drive parameters to the door system is controlled so as to control the respective one Door function to activate. This allows a very comfortable control of the door system.

Preferably, it may also be possible that a prior authentication is necessary to activate the door function and / or for control by the app. This can, for example, also differentiate between persons with limited access or with extended access to door functions, so that, for example, in the extended access as opposed to the restricted access also maintenance and / or function check door functions by the transmission of the corresponding door function information and / or the corresponding Drive parameters can be activated. It may also be possible for the extended access (eg, only over a certain period of time) to be released, for example by a service unit, such as a further communication unit or the storage system or the like. Thus, for example, the communication unit can be released by the service unit, for example, for carrying out Funktionsprüfungs- and / or maintenance tasks, for example, in a remote maintenance.

Furthermore, it may be possible for the operation of the door system, in particular during the transmission of the drive parameters to the door system, to be monitored, wherein preferably for this purpose a storage of authentication data and / or usage data is carried out. For example. This data is repeatedly stored in non-volatile memory in order to have access to it at a later date. In particular, it may be possible for these data to be transmitted at least partially as drive parameters to the storage system. For example. In this case, the usage data comprise a communication unit information, in particular an identifier of the communication unit, in particular the app. For example. can they Usage data also include a user ID, which in particular from the identifier of the communication unit and / or a person information, for example. A biometric information, is formed. In particular, an error and / or security information can be determined by evaluation of this usage data, for example by the storage system, remote from the door system. This can, for example, be used to determine security breaches as part of a door system monitoring based on the drive parameters. An operation of the door system may preferably also be influenced by the door system, for example by the transmission of further drive parameters to the door system, in particular for activating at least one door function, such as locking or the like. Several door systems can preferably also be monitored so that the drive parameters are evaluated specifically for the door system and / or the operation is influenced.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that the communication unit and / or the app (and / or the computer program product) is designed to determine drive parameters. For this purpose, for example, at least one sensor of the communication unit can be used to determine the drive parameter on the basis of a detection of the sensor, for example by measuring physical quantities in the environment of the communication unit. Preferably, drive parameters can be transmitted to the door system and / or to the (door system remote) storage system, so that a further evaluation can be possible.

It is preferably conceivable for the communication unit and / or the app and / or the computer program product to have at least door-specific information which, for example, can be changed is executed. For example. For example, the change of the information can take place by a transfer of changed data from the storage system. In particular, it may be possible for this information to be transmitted as a drive parameter to the door system in order to adapt the configuration and / or operation of the door system, in particular a drive unit and / or a control unit and / or a detection unit and / or a transmission unit. For example. For this purpose, the information can be stored by the transmission in the drive unit and / or a control unit. In particular, the door system-specific information serves to adapt the determination of the drive parameters by the door system, so that, for example, a determination method for the determination in the door system can be updated by the transmission.

A further advantage can be achieved within the scope of the invention if the communication unit is designed as a portable communication unit, in particular for mobile radio communication, and the at least one specific drive parameter is transmitted by the communication unit to a transmission unit of the door system via radio, in particular Bluetooth, preferably BLE , wherein preferably the communication unit is designed for determining and / or transmitting further drive parameters to other door systems. For example. For this purpose, the (individual) communication unit can have connection information about connections with the different door systems (in particular different transmission units). This can be easily and inexpensively a single communication unit can be used to control multiple door systems.

Furthermore, it is optionally possible in the context of the invention that the determination of the drive parameter is remote from the door system, in particular by the communication unit and / or by an evaluation unit remote from the door system, the evaluation unit preferably being provided in a memory system remote from the door system, by which further drive parameters of the door system and further door systems are stored, wherein preferably the determination of the drive parameter takes place in correlation with the further drive parameters. This has the advantage that also remote from the door system, for example, by a central computer, which is connected to the storage system, a control of the door system can be done. In particular, the communication unit can serve to receive the door system remote (for example, by the storage system and / or by the computer) certain drive parameters and to transmit to the door system on. This has the advantage that information from other door systems for controlling the door system can be used to optimize, for example, the operation of the door system.

It is also conceivable that the door function information is first transmitted from the communication unit to the evaluation unit in order, if necessary, to create the drive parameter (which is particularly specific for the configuration specification) as a function of and / or correlated with further drive parameters. The drive parameter can thus possibly also be determined centrally, for example cloud-based, and then transmitted to the door system. This has the advantage that further drive parameters and / or evaluations can be taken into account, for example limit values, safety checks, optimizations, or the like.

It can be provided within the scope of the invention that an evaluation of the drive parameter is carried out on the door system side, in particular by the control unit and / or a transmission unit, to adjust the operation on the basis of the provided configuration specification, preferably by means of at least one further drive parameter, which is preferably selected by a recognition unit of the Door system is determined. This has the advantage that more information, such. B. environment information can be considered in the operation of the door system. In particular, further specifications for the operation, such as time specifications, can be taken into account in this way (for example, in this case the further drive parameter is a daily and / or weekly time). It is also conceivable that the environment information comprises at least one weather information or the like, which are used for the operation based on the configuration specification. So z. B. the transmitted drive parameters and / or the configuration specification include the information that at a certain time and / or certain weather conditions, a specific door function should be activated. On the basis of the further drive parameters can then be determined, for example, whether the specific time or weather condition exists. Preferably, the transmitted drive parameter can be evaluated by the transmission unit in order to provide the configuration specification for the control unit through the evaluation.

Furthermore, it is conceivable for the drive parameter and / or for providing the configuration specification to be evaluated on the basis of further drive parameters, the further drive parameters preferably being transmitted by further door systems and / or being stored in a storage system remote from the door system. In particular, the evaluation may be for determining before transmitting the drive parameter, for example, by the communication unit, or after the transmission door system side to provide for the control unit. This has the advantage that even across door systems information can be provided and / or taken into account for the operation.

It may optionally be possible for the door parameter information to be transmitted by the communication unit to a further communication unit and / or an evaluation unit at least partially via a network, in particular a mobile radio network, so that the determination of the drive parameter by the further communication unit and / or Evaluation unit is performed based on the door function information. The further communication unit can be, for example, a service communication unit (service unit), for example, by a service partner for the door system. In this way, maintenance can be carried out by the further communication unit and / or by the evaluation unit (for example a storage system) and / or a function check can be initiated.

It can be provided within the scope of the invention that the operation of the door system is further adapted by the fact that based on the configuration specification, a fault diagnosis, in particular a self-test, is initiated at the door system. This allows, for example, a remote maintenance to ensure reliable operation of the door system.

For example, it may be provided that the operation of the door system is further adapted by adapting automation of the door system on the basis of the configuration specification wherein, preferably, the configuration specification comprises a sequence of instructions and / or parameters, in particular a sequence of door function information, for automation, preferably for time-dependent movement of the door component. Thus, for example, by the communication unit (and / or by at least one other communication unit) the configuration specification can be provided as a macro to automate the operation of the door system. Preferably, the drive parameter comprises at least one timing for the time-dependent programming, such as in particular a duration of an opening time of the door component or the like.

According to a further advantage, it can be provided that an authentication is performed on the door system by the communication unit, in particular by a transmission of at least one further drive parameter from the communication unit to a transmission unit of the door system, preferably according to a biometric authentication method, wherein a performance of the door function and / or at least one further door function, in particular a granting of access by the door system, is only activated and / or the operation of the door system is adapted only if the authentication is successful, whereby different user preferences for different users are preferably determined during the authentication, so that different door functions are activated and / or released based on the different user preferences. For example. For example, different access authorizations can be taken into account by the authentication based on the user specification. Preferably, the different door functions can be enabled depending on the access authorization, so that only the released door functions can be influenced on the basis of the configuration specification. In other words, the Access to door functions may be restricted and / or enabled differently for different users, so that a configuration specification provided by these users can only influence the released door functions. For example. In this case, the authentication can take place in that a user identifier is provided by the user's communication unit. This allows a reliable and secure adjustment of the operation of the door system.

Moreover, it is advantageous if at least one further drive parameter of the door system, which is determined in particular by a recognition unit of the door system, is received and evaluated by the communication unit, so that an evaluation result is determined, and the evaluation result is displayed for a user of the communication unit, wherein Preferably, the evaluation result and / or the further drive parameter indicates a state of the door component. This allows z. B., the state of the door component, for example. Error messages or the like, to be displayed by the communication unit.

It is also conceivable within the scope of the invention that at least one audio and / or video information of a sensor component of the door system is transmitted to the communication unit, and preferably a remote control of the door function and / or another door function is performed by the communication unit, preferably parallel to the transmission of Audio and / or video information, particularly preferably by transmitting the at least one drive parameter. This allows, for example, the provision of an intercom and / or double-talk function. In particular, for this purpose, a coupling of the communication unit with the door system, for example, a Bluetooth pairing and / or via a mobile network, in particular Pre-stored connection information to enable automated connection setup.

Likewise provided by the invention is a computer program product which is designed, when executed by a communication unit, to operate the communication unit at least partially for carrying out a method according to the invention, in particular for determining at least one door function information. Thus, the inventive computer program product brings the same advantages as have been described in detail with reference to a method according to the invention.

The computer program product can be embodied, for example, as a firmware and / or as a computer program product, in particular as a smartphone app or the like. In particular, the computer program product may have a function for authentication and / or establishing a connection with the door system and / or with the storage system and / or for determining the door function information and / or for activating door functions.
