Description

The present invention relates to an evaluation system according to the type defined in greater detail in the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method and a computer program product.

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 taken into account by a manual configuration of the door system, for example. When 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. Further, if necessary, for maintenance, installation or programming of the door system manual requirements (such as maintenance and / or configuration specifications) must be determined and then a device for maintenance or programming are connected to the door system. In addition, there is a problem that, if necessary, the determination of the maintenance and / or 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 technically expensive to use and / or to maintain and / or install.

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, in particular maintenance and / or installation, of a door system.

The above object is achieved by an evaluation system with the features of claim 1, by a method having the features of claim 5 and by a computer program product with 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 that are described in connection with the evaluation system according to the invention, of course, also in connection with the inventive method and the computer program product according to the invention, and in each case vice versa, so that with respect to the disclosure of the individual aspects of the invention always reciprocal reference is made or can be.

• wenigstens ein (nicht-flüchtiges und/oder türsystemfernes) Speichersystem zur Speicherung des Antriebsparameters,
• wenigstens eine Auswerteeinheit, insbesondere des Speichersystems, zur Bereitstellung wenigstens einer Auswertung des Antriebsparameters, insbesondere wenigstens einer Information der jeweiligen Antriebsparameter,
• ggf. das Türsystem und/oder weitere Türsysteme,
• ggf. wenigstens eine Kommunikationseinheit.

The object is achieved in particular by an evaluation system for evaluating at least one drive parameter of at least one door system. It can be provided that the evaluation system has at least one of the following systems and / or units:

• at least one (non-volatile and / or door system remote) storage system for storing the drive parameter,
• at least one evaluation unit, in particular of the storage system, for providing at least one evaluation of the drive parameter, in particular at least one piece of information of the respective drive parameters,
• if necessary, the door system and / or other door systems,
• optionally at least one communication unit.

It may be possible that in the storage system, a plurality of drive parameters are stored by a plurality of different door systems. Furthermore, it may be possible for the respective drive parameters to be transmitted to the storage system by the respective door systems, in particular indirectly via a communication unit and / or a network, in order then to be stored, for example, in a database of the storage system. It may be possible to continue be that for retrieving and / or evaluating the communication unit and / or other communication units (such as stationary computers, smart phones or the like) establish a data connection to the storage system, in particular with the evaluation. Preferably, the users of such communication units may have different access rights to the information of the drive parameters.

It is provided, in particular, that different evaluation functions can be provided by the at least one evaluation, by means of which different evaluation information can be determined according to different access specifications for evaluating the at least one door system, so that at least one extended evaluation function according to extended access to the evaluation information and at least one restricted evaluation function according to limited access to the evaluation information can be provided.

In other words, in particular different access rights can be provided to evaluate the at least one door system based on (the information) of the drive parameters. In this way, the advantage can be achieved that the evaluation of evaluation information on the door system is simplified, and thus, for example, a maintenance and / or determination of configuration specifications can be facilitated and improved. So z. B. the evaluation information can be used to determine typical errors in the door systems based on the drive parameters and / or in a maintenance (one of the door systems) and / or installation (another door system) to take into account. Also, it is conceivable that one Maintenance and / or planning of future maintenance for the door systems based on the evaluation information is performed.

The use of different accesses (i.e., different access rights) has the advantage that different user groups (of users, for example of the at least one communication unit) can evaluate the drive parameters according to different access rights. This makes it possible to use a common storage system for the different evaluation functions in a resource-saving manner and to centrally manage the accesses.

It is conceivable that in the storage system, a plurality of different drive parameters are stored, which are each assigned to different door systems and / or are respectively determined in different door systems or were. In particular, it may be possible for the evaluation functions to evaluate a plurality of drive parameters from different door systems, in order in particular to determine the at least one evaluation information item (eg, also for evaluating one of the door systems). In this way, information from other door systems can be taken into account for evaluating a door system. This allows an improved and more comprehensive evaluation based on the at least one evaluation function. Preferably, the evaluation function can also be used to determine at least one configuration specification for the at least one door system.

In particular, the evaluation information is the result of the respective evaluation function, and in each case, for example, by the evaluation function at least based on at least one of Drive parameters determined and / or calculated. In particular, the extended evaluation function (eg for a manufacturer of the door systems) offers extended possibilities for the evaluation (ie in particular the evaluation information) as the limited evaluation function (eg for a partner, eg an installer and / or maintenance partner for the door systems). , Accordingly, in the extended evaluation function according to the extended access to the evaluation information, it may be possible to have the numerical scale of the evaluation information and / or drive parameters that can be accessed by the evaluation function greater than the limited evaluation function.

In particular, the term "restricted access" refers to the fact that the access to the evaluation information is restricted in comparison to an extended access, in particular from the numerical extent and / or according to a predetermined assignment, in particular according to a selection. The selection can take place, for example, in that the limited access is only possible to evaluation information of (according to the allocation) certain door systems, while z. B. the extended access to rating information can be done by all door systems. For this purpose, the (respective) restricted access z. B. be associated with a door system identifier, which is taken into account in the selection. The consideration may, for example, be made by a comparison of the associated door system identifier with a door system identifier assigned to the respective drive parameters during the evaluation. Thus, for example, a plurality of restricted accesses can also be provided for different door systems in accordance with different door system identifications in order, for example, to allow access to the evaluation information only for such partners are also entitled to the respective door system assigned to the partner according to the door system identifier.

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 designed for transmitting the at least one drive parameter, in particular transmitted by the transmission unit and / or received by the communication unit, to a memory system remote from the door system, preferably at least partially via radio, so that the (in this way) transmitted drive parameters door system remotely be provided. 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 configuration refers 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 become. 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. Optionally, the radio technology may also comprise a plurality of different radio technologies which, for example, are used in parallel or in series.

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).

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, can likewise be designed for the at least partial provision and / or implementation of the communication technology of the communication interface. 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 allows the provision of a variety of door functions, which at least partially automatically depending on a configuration can be performed.

Preferably, the door component is in (for example, mechanically) operative connection with the drive unit, so that the drive unit can bring about the transfer into the movement state (i.e., the movement or the movement process) of the door component. 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 passenger door and / or fire door and / or outer door and / or inner door and / or front door and / or smoke door and / or burglar-resistant door and / or security door and / or room door (in each case, for example, 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 Has components which can be designed in each case 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. can be measured by the sensor component, a rotational speed of a drive and / or output shaft of the drive unit, and / or a period of time of movement of the door component from a first state to a second Condition (ie a movement process) are 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, for example, as an integrated circuit, eg. as a microcontroller, executed in particular to perform 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 receiving a time signal signal (eg. DCF77) include. 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 may 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 an 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, for example, be used to determine at least one drive parameter as a function of the location and / or the weather and / or time and thus advantageously to 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. this drive information also serve to program the drive unit or similar. 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 transmitting 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 for further door systems with further transmission units to be provided in order to communicate with the first transmission unit of the first door system, in particular in order 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 that a (possibly wireless) transmission of information, such as drive parameters, between different transmission units at least two or more of the door systems is feasible, 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 (eg controllable and / or configurable) by the communication unit via the communication of at least one of the door systems with the communication unit, and in particular 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. The communication unit (possibly integrated or portable in the door system) preferably differs from the transmission unit (or transmission units) of the door system in that the communication unit has at least one transmission interface, in particular a radio transmission interface, which differs from the transmission unit (in terms of communication technology).

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 means (eg. As a Bluetooth stick) subsequently, 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 connection or a connection 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 makes it possible to equip existing door systems with the corresponding communication capability of the first communication technology also later and cost-effectively, 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 allows an energy-saving Communication (eg via BLE) and / or to ensure 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 (ie, for example, control and / or regulation and / or configuration, such as programming) of the door system, in particular the drive unit. Optionally, for such a control (original, ie already since the first assembly) also a (possibly electro-) mechanical switching device, in particular a key switch or the like may 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, nevertheless, a manual control can be provided, for example by transmitting information from a communication unit to the transmission unit, where appropriate 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 from the communication unit to the Transfer unit transmitted 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 at least one of the drive parameters, then, for example, drive information can be determined and / or 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.

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, if and / or when and / or in In which mode certain door functions are executed, it is preferred if and at what times at least a certain movement process of the door component is to be performed (eg an opening at a first day or week time or a closing at a second day or week 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 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 a flexible and adaptable 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 are originally raised by the recognition system by the door system may, for example, be a usage cycle (eg, a cycle number, ie, for example, a count of the movement processes, such as opening and / or closing operations) and / or an operating period and / or a Identification (such as a serial number) and / or a configuration (such as a programming of the door system) and / or an operating 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.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that for transmission and / or transmission of the drive parameters (determined by the recognition unit) to the communication unit (and / or from the communication unit to the Detection unit and / or to the control unit of the door system) at least one interface element of the transmission unit is provided. 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 transmit information (such as the drive parameter) to further components of the door system or to other door systems (possibly wirelessly) and / or receive them. 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

Transfer unit be designed as an "intelligent" transmission unit, and thus easily integrate a variety 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) is taken over by the communication unit. 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 (non-specific to the transmission unit) interface of the door system, for example, a bus and / or network and / or serial interface of a communication capability already present in the door system. 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 may preferably have a processing element and / or a memory element in order, if necessary, to carry out a complex processing of the data (in particular via the interface), for example a conversion into drive parameters or into 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. This can possibly also the expandability of Door system can be increased if the transmission unit also other sensors can be provided.

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, for 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, perform a complex network and / or Internet communication, if the storage system can only be accessed by the door system via a network (Local Area Network, ie LAN, or wireless LAN or mobile radio network or Internet). 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 is then carried out by 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 has the communication unit (eg, permanently integrated) 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. can it 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 points in time or for certain events and / or takes place at specific time intervals and / or takes place only when the communication unit is within communication range of 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 a smartwatch and / or as a wearable (wearable computer) and / or as a computer and / or as a laptop and / or executed as part of another door system. 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. the at least one drive parameter determined by the communication unit (s) can be transmitted to the door system and / or to the door system via a wireless data transmission Memory system to be transferred, and if necessary be cached before the (respective) transmission in the door system and / or in the communication unit. 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 a mobile radio 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 the transmission to initiate 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. Preferably, the respective connection information may have been determined during an initial connection process, in particular a Bluetooth pairing, between the communication unit and a respective transmission unit (possibly a respective or single 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 for transmission of the drive parameter can be authorized and / or established.

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 also be stored in another component of the door system (for example, in a door closer), and be read 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 timestamp and / or a connection duration and / or a connection transmitted through the connection Information, in particular control information and / or configuration, and / or the like, 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 can be provided that the communication unit can be connected, for example paired, with at least one or each of the respective transmission units, possibly also 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 in the Connection can be received from 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 transmitted 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 transmission type is used, for example a wired transmission in order to transmit the at least one drive parameter (for example, starting from the intermediate point) to the memory 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 of the door system with the door system remote storage system without the use of 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 evaluation and / or data analysis. 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 (ie, 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 in the storage system and / or evaluated. Preferably, an assignment of the drive parameter to Door system in which the drive parameter has been determined, for example. Based on an identifier 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, based on the evaluation result, at least one of the door systems can be operated and / or checked (eg, according to an error check) and / or analyzed (for example, maintenance information can 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. Also, it is 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 maintenance should be performed currently or in the future. 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. On the basis of these drive parameters, for example, a particularly reliable analysis of the information stored in the storage system can take place, since, for example, maintenance information and / or planning information can be determined and transmitted to the affected partners. 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.

Preferably, the storage system 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 these evaluate or analyze.

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.

This has the advantage that a simple and secure access to the evaluation functions and / or evaluation information is possible. For example. In this case, the interface unit can have a network interface to a (data) network and / or have electronics for carrying out user authentication. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable that the user authentication is performed by the evaluation unit and / or is feasible. In this case, the communication unit, in particular an app of the communication unit, can preferably be designed to communicate via a network with the memory system, in particular the interface unit and / or the evaluation unit, and / or perform user authentication (in the following also briefly: authentication). For example. For example, the communication unit, in particular the app, can also be adapted to the storage system and / or the mechanism for authentication in the storage system.

In this case, 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 preferably also being able to be carried out repeatedly:

• Selecting at least one evaluation function from at least one extended evaluation function according to an extended access to evaluation information and at least one restricted evaluation function according to a restricted access to the evaluation information in dependence on a user default, wherein preferably selecting at least partially based on a (digital) Data transmission and / or user input takes place, for example, from or in a communication unit,
• Reading the at least one drive parameter from the memory system as a function of the selected evaluation function, the readout preferably being carried out by the evaluation unit from a non-volatile memory unit of the memory system,
• Performing an evaluation of at least one piece of information of the read-out drive parameter by the evaluation unit as a function of the selected evaluation function, so that at least one of the evaluation information is determined in a user-specific and access-specific manner.

Thus, the inventive method brings the same advantages as they have been described in detail with respect to an inventive evaluation system. In addition, the method may be suitable for operating an evaluation system according to the invention. In particular, an evaluation unit may be provided, which is designed according to an evaluation system according to the invention.

In this case, the user-specific determination can preferably take place in that the selection of the evaluation function takes place as a function of the user specification, for example in dependence on an authentication. Furthermore, the access-specific determination can preferably take place in that the access of different evaluation functions to the drive parameters and / or the provision of the evaluation information for different evaluation functions is different.

It may, for example, be provided that the at least one drive parameter has a plurality of (evaluation) information which may also be evaluated as a function of the evaluation function. Accordingly, restricted access for certain information of the at least one drive parameter may be provided by the limited evaluation function.

It can be provided within the scope of the invention that for the evaluation (in particular before and / or during the reading of the at least one drive parameter and / or before and / or during the execution of the evaluation) an assignment information is read, which of the selected evaluation function at least one At least one first evaluation information is determined on the basis of at least one first drive parameter when the selected evaluation function corresponds to the extended evaluation function, and at least one second evaluation information is determined based on at least one second drive parameter the selected evaluation function corresponds to the restricted evaluation function. This allows a simple and reliable restriction of access for certain user groups. Preferably, it is conceivable that the at least first evaluation information differs from the at least second evaluation information, in particular is more extensive, and preferably the at least one first drive parameter differs from the at least one second drive parameter or is at least partially identical.

It may optionally be possible that only those drive parameters are read out during readout, which are used for extended access if the selected evaluation function corresponds to the extended evaluation function, or which are marked for restricted access if the selected evaluation function corresponds to the restricted evaluation function. In particular, the storage system may include a database, so that the identification for the restricted and / or extended access can be made by a respective database entry and / or assignment. This allows a simple and reliable access control.

In addition, it may be advantageous in the context of the invention that at least one first restricted evaluation function and at least one second restricted evaluation function are provided, each of which provides reduced access to the evaluation information in comparison to the extended evaluation function. In particular, the reduced access is to be understood as a reduction of the quantitative and / or numerous scope of the evaluation information and / or understood as a reduction of the qualitative extent of the evaluation information (so that, for example, at least one particular type of evaluation information is excluded from access). This allows flexible, versatile access control.

It may optionally be possible for a plurality of drive parameters of a first door system and further door systems to be stored in the memory system, in particular remote from the door system, wherein preferably at least one first restricted evaluation function provides access to at least one evaluation information about those of the door systems Identifier are characterized, and preferred the advanced evaluation function access to at least one evaluation information about the Door systems fully provides, and more preferably at least a second limited evaluation function provides access to at least one evaluation information about those of the door systems, which are marked according to a second identifier. For example. the first identifier is a partner identifier, and the second identifier is in particular a customer identifier or user identifier or an identifier for another partner. This allows a far differentiated access control. Thus, it is also conceivable that a plurality of different limited evaluation functions are provided, each with different access. For example. At least three or at least four or at least 10 or at least 100 different (limited) rating functions may be provided according to different accesses.

Advantageously, it may be provided in the invention that the limited evaluation function provides the determination of at least one maintenance information as evaluation information, so that preferably a maintenance interval and / or a usage cycle and / or a result of a functional test is determined as evaluation information about the at least one door system. In particular, on the basis of the evaluation function, a device of the door system can also take place, for example by using the at least one provided evaluation information. For this purpose, the evaluation information can preferably receive information as to how the device has to be made. For example, based on the evaluation information, known errors and / or optimization suggestions can also be taken into account, which can be taken into account by the evaluation function based on previously stored drive parameters. Thus, the operation and / or the reliability of the door system can be improved.

It is also conceivable that the user default is determined in an authentication depending on an authentication result. In this case, the authentication result includes, for example, information about which user was authenticated and / or what type of access the user is permitted (for example, the extended or one of the restricted accesses). In this way, depending on the user's specification, the evaluation information can be provided user-specifically. The authentication takes place, for example, by a password entry and / or by a biometric authentication and / or the like, in particular in the evaluation unit and / or the storage system and / or with the storage system (communicating or connected) data processing system. The data processing system can be, for example, a computer and / or a communication unit which is in data connection via a network with the storage system. For example. For this purpose, an app of the communication unit can be used for authentication.

Advantageously, the at least one restricted evaluation function according to the restricted access is for determining rating information specific to at least one particular door system according to at least one particular door system identifier. The door system identifier is specified, for example, by the user specification and / or by the limited evaluation function. If necessary, a plurality of door systems can also be assigned to a user, so that the user specification and / or the restricted evaluation function can also specify several (different) door system identifications. This allows flexible access to be determined.

For example. The evaluation information comprises information about a location and / or a functional state and / or a maintenance information and / or an error information and / or a usage cycle (or a utilization cycle number) and / or the like via the respective door system. In particular, the evaluation function can also be used to control the respective door systems, for example to initiate an error check. In particular, this allows fast and cost-saving maintenance of the door systems.

In the following figures, the identical reference numerals are used for the same technical features of different embodiments.

In FIG. 1 schematically a door system 400 and at least partially an inventive evaluation system 1 is shown.

In particular, the evaluation system 1 comprises at least one (for example non-volatile and / or door system remote) storage system 100. Furthermore, the evaluation system 1 may comprise at least one memory unit 110 and / or at least one interface unit 120 and / or at least one evaluation unit 130. The memory unit 110, the interface unit 120 and / or the evaluation unit 130 can each also be part of the memory system 100, as in FIG FIG. 6 is clarified. In particular, the evaluation unit 130 serves to provide at least one evaluation of at least one drive parameter P of at least one door system 400.

The storage system 100 is embodied, for example, as a database system or as a data processing system (with one or more computers) for providing the database system, wherein the storage unit 110 is preferably designed as a relational database of the database system or as a non-volatile data memory of the data processing system.

Optionally, the evaluation system 1 may comprise a communication unit 10 and / or parts of the door system 400. The communication unit 10 is embodied, for example, as a mobile radio device, in particular a smartphone. For example. In this case, a radio communication is performed by a radio transmission interface 20 of the communication unit 10, so as to Data to a network 90, for example. Mobile network to send. In this way, in particular, a wireless data transmission of the at least one drive parameter P from the door system 400 to the door system remote storage system 100 or to the evaluation system 1 is possible, which likewise can be connected to the network 90 directly or indirectly (eg via further networks).

Furthermore, the communication unit 10 can have at least one communication interface 25 in order to carry out a further communication, in particular radio communication, preferably Bluetooth communication. This can then be used, for example, for data exchange via a Bluetooth connection 95 with a transmission unit 500 of the door system 400. In particular, at least one drive parameter P can be exchanged via the Bluetooth connection 95. This drive parameter P can then be transmitted, for example via the network 90, to the door system-remote storage system 100.

The door system 400 includes z. B. at least one door component 410, in particular a movable door leaf. The door component 410 can be moved by a drive unit 480, wherein the drive unit 480 is controlled by a control unit 420, that is, for example, can be controlled. In this way, at least one door function can be provided, for example, an opening of the door component 410. Further door functions are, for example, the locking of the door (eg at certain times) or the like. In particular, a recognition unit 440 of the door system 400 can be used to determine at least one drive parameter P, which is correlated with the door function. This drive parameter P may then be transmitted via the transmission unit 500 to the communication unit 10 and then via the network 90 to the door system remote storage system 100.

As in FIG. 2 is shown, the communication unit 10 may be embodied as a portable communication unit 10, and possibly perform the reception and / or transmission of several drive parameters P, which come from different door systems 400. Thus, for example, both a first door system 401 and a second door system 402 can be provided, which can establish a respective connection, in particular a Bluetooth connection 95, with the communication unit 10 via respective transmission units 500. For example. the connection establishment is possible only if the portable communication unit 10 is in communication range to the respective transmission units 500.

In FIG. 3 schematically shows that the communication unit 10 may also be integrated in the door system 400 (ie in at least one of the door systems 400). In this case too, it may be possible for another door system 402 to communicate with the communication unit 10 of the first door system 401 and / or to transmit the drive parameter P thereto. In this way, cost-effective and reliable networking of the door systems can take place in order to transmit drive parameters P to a door system-remote storage system 100.

In this case, the communication unit 10 comprises, for example, at least one radio transmission interface 20 and / or at least one communication interface 25 and / or at least one sensor 30, in particular at least one camera sensor 31 and / or at least one location sensor 32 and / or at least one Acceleration sensor 33, and / or at least one processing means 40 and / or at least one data memory 50, which are optionally (at least partially) connected electrically or electronically.

This may, for example, have a memory component 441 and / or a locating component 442 and / or a receiving component 443 and / or a processing component 444 and / or a sensor component 445 and / or a counter component 446, which may be at least partially electrically or electronically connected to one another.

In FIG. 7 a method according to the invention and a computer program product according to the invention are schematically visualized. It is in there FIG. 7 shown that by evaluation of the evaluation unit 130 different evaluation functions F can be provided. On the basis of these evaluation functions F, furthermore, different evaluation information I can be determined according to different access specifications for the evaluation of at least one door system 400. In this case, at least one extended evaluation function EF can be selected according to an extended access to the evaluation information I and at least one restricted evaluation function RF according to a limited access to the evaluation information I.

Furthermore, it may be possible for the evaluation to read out an assignment information which assigns at least one evaluation information I and / or at least one drive parameter P to the selected evaluation function F. As in FIG. 8 is clarified, it can thus be made possible that at the At least one first evaluation information I1 is determined on the basis of at least one first drive parameter P1 if the selected evaluation function F corresponds to the extended evaluation function EF, and at least one second evaluation information I2 is determined based on at least one second drive parameter P2 if the selected evaluation function F is the restricted evaluation function RF corresponds.

For example. In this case, at least one first restricted evaluation function RF1 and at least one second limited evaluation function RF2 can be provided. These can each provide - compared to the extended evaluation function EF - only a reduced access to the evaluation information I.

The above explanation of the embodiments describes the present invention solely by way of example. Of course, individual features of the embodiments, if technically feasible, can be combined freely with one another, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
