Description

The invention relates to a system and a method with which a wing or a wing system parameterized, so their operation can be set or changed.

On the one hand known from the prior art, wings or wing systems having such wings, z. B. double-leaf sliding doors, or their electronically operated components such as drives, controls and the like to adjust individually. This has the disadvantage that a user must go to each door individually to adjust this.

On the other hand, it is known in access-controlled doors, so doors to allow only a certain group of people to access to set them due to the use of a central database on a server. In this case, data from an ID card that identifies the person concerned is read out and compared with the central database for validity. If the test result is positive, access is granted, ie the door is unlocked and, if necessary, opened. The disadvantage is that this type of access control is only possible if the door is coupled to a central office, be it wireless or wired. In the first case, this means that the wing system concerned must have an external power connection or a large energy storage. In the second case, a building cabling must be provided.

The object of the invention is to counteract the aforementioned disadvantages.

This object is solved by the subject matter of claims 1 and 6. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

In the context of the invention, a wing system means nothing else than a system which has at least one wing.

According to the invention, a system for adjusting wing systems is provided. The term "adjustment" refers to any possibility to change the operation of such wing systems.

Each wing system, as stated above, at least one movable wing with an electronically operated element.

Each of these elements is provided with a first communication interface and a first memory. In the respective memory parameters are stored, which are assigned to the wing of the respective wing system or the element to which the memory belongs. Such parameters may be, for example, data identifying one or more authorized persons. In this context, it should be mentioned that the term "person" in the technical sense is data, for example, of an electronic ID card that was assigned to the person and thus represents the person. Additionally or alternatively, parameters can also be stored that are set for this element or the associated wing. Such parameters may be, for example, flags that are set or not set to indicate, for example, a control of the wing system, which functions the wing system must be able to fulfill (compliance with a hold-open time, fire protection function, etc.).

The system also includes at least one portable device. This in turn has a second communication interface and a data processing unit coupled thereto. Furthermore, each device comprises a second memory coupled to its data processing unit. In each case a computer program is stored.

The computer program causes the associated data processing unit to carry out the method presented below. In a first step, it is determined via the second communication interface of the associated device which elements and thus, which parameterizable wings or wing systems are in communication range of the device or its second communication interface. The device "searches" as it were for adjustable elements or wings or wing systems. This of course takes place via the first communication interfaces of the elements in range. This wing or wing systems are stored as records while the second memory of the respective device. Ie. The device can only detect wings or wing systems, which were previously announced. Other wings or wing systems are not determined. This has the advantage that certain users or facilities can set only certain wing systems, but not others. So it's a kind of setting permission "adjustable".

Once the said elements have been determined, the wings belonging to the determined elements of the system are displayed in a first area of a display of the device. In addition, in a second area of the display, which is different from the first area, the possible, adjustable parameters of the determined or displayed wings or wing systems are displayed. Further, on the display is a third, of the two said two areas in turn provide different area on the display.

If the user has selected one or one of the wings or wing systems shown in the first area, in this third area the selected wing (s) together with the parameters assigned to this wing or wing unit are displayed These are set.

If, on the other hand, the user has selected one of the displayed parameters, in the third area it is displayed with the wings or wing systems for which the selected parameter or to which the selected parameter is assigned.

The user can thus influence wing systems in their operation in a very simple and intuitive manner. Since the communication depends on the communication range, a very clear number of blades / wings and parameters is always displayed.

If, for example, NFC is used as a communication type, the system can be designed in such a way that only one wing or one wing unit can be parameterized with the device. In the case of Bluetooth, it can be achieved that a user may be able to parameterize a building section or a specific building. However, all other types of communication are possible, including wiry, even if they are not mentioned in the further description.

The parameters used may include identification data of persons to whom access to a wing system of the system should be granted and denied. Ie. By assigning persons and wings / wing systems in the aforementioned third display area, the user can easily specify the access to a wing system, in particular without having to have further knowledge.

Both of the aforementioned systems can be modified so that within the scope of the respective method in the first and / or second area further controls are displayed, such as an operating knob or the like. These controls are provided to allow the user, with a selected parameter, to add one or more of the wings displayed in the second area, or to remove such an assignment.

Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the user is offered an operation which allows him to add to the selected parameter one or one of the wings or wing systems displayed in the second area, without the use of the aforementioned control element. to remove. In the simplest case this can be done by drag'n'drop. This is particularly beneficial if the display is touch-sensitive. As a further alternative, a voice control is conceivable, which makes it possible to make the assignment verbal.

The same modes of operation (with and / or without operating elements) are preferably also or alternatively present to the above, to allow the user to associate with one or a selected wing or wing system this or this parameter displayed in the first area or such an association ( again) to be able to remove.

In both cases, a control element can also be displayed on the display, which allows the user to send the current allocations via the second communication interface to the relevant elements in reach via their first communication interfaces and to parameterize the associated wings or wing systems. Again in addition or as an alternative, other modes of operation may also be provided for transmission.

Ie. The user can easily set and change parameters on wing systems without the need for great training.

The step of transmitting the current assignments or parameters may cause the device to wait for receipt to be acknowledged by the respective addressed elements. Ie. the device checks whether the specified parameterizations have also arrived. After expiration of a predetermined time of an unsuccessful waiting for an acknowledgment of one of the addressed elements in the process, the parameterization of the relevant element or wing / wing system is reset to the state in which the wing or the wing system at the time of the last successful transmission or reset at the time of determining the elements in communication range. This ensures that parameters are not stored in the device that actually did not arrive at the corresponding wing system. This increases the safety during parameterization.

In addition or as an alternative to the above, the method may further comprise displaying on the display further an operating element and / or implementing another operation that enables the user of the device to determine determine the elements within communication range of the device. This makes it possible for the user to first move into the area of a building whose wing system (s) is / are to be parameterized.

A method according to the invention for parameterizing at least one wing or wing system of one of the aforementioned systems comprises a step of moving the at least one device of the system into communication range of at least one element belonging to a wing or wing system by a user. Regardless of time, the user can start the aforesaid computer program in the device which he is operating. After starting the program, the method provides that the user changes settings of the or at least one wing according to the computer program and eventually, possibly several times, the aforementioned sending the assignments or settings for at least one wing Wing system initiated to the associated element according to the computer program and, if necessary, waiting for the confirmation.

Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments. Show it:

1 a system according to an embodiment of the invention,

2 a first part of a method according to an embodiment of the invention,

3 a second part of the process of 2 .

4 a third part of the procedure of 2 .

5 a fourth part of the method of 2 .

6 the second part of the method in a modification,

7 the fourth part of the process in a modification and

8th a flowchart of the method.

1 shows a system according to an embodiment of the invention. It is a door 1 a not further described door system shown. This has in the case shown a door lock 10 , on the side visible here a fixed doorknob 11 and below which is an electromechanical knob 12 which is known to be used, upon successful authentication of a badge or the like, the door 1 to unlock, for example, by the invisible latch of the door lock 10 is withdrawn in this electromechanically. Or the knob 12 engages with an internal lock nut, allowing rotation of the knob 12 a co-rotation of the lock nut and thus the locking lug of the profile cylinder lock allows for unlocking the door 1 causes.

Furthermore, a mobile device is here in the form of an example of a tablet 20 which is capable of communicating wirelessly, as indicated by the dashes. The tablet has an ad 21 auf, on, as explained in more detail later, displayed in addition to information preferably controls and / or operations are made possible by touching.

2 shows a first part of a method according to an embodiment of the invention with reference to several, here two contents of the display 21 , 2a shows the content of the ad 21 of the tablet 20 in the so-called idle state or after the start of the underlying computer program executed by the tablet or its processor.

There are preferably three areas 22 - 24 for displaying data. These are optically separated from each other by two vertical, not designated lines. Here below are software-implemented control buttons 27 - 29 whose clicking causes various actions in the context of the computer program.

Further, by way of example, a cursor 30 displayed. The cursor 30 mainly serves to describe the flow of the method implemented by the computer program. He may also be missing, especially in touch-sensitive ads 21 , so-called touch panels, is common.

In a first step are the buttons 27 and 28 preferably switched inactive, so not operable or clickable. Alternatively, they simply are not displayed.

Ie. only the button 29 can be clicked. As the name "Search ..." suggests, click on the button 29 in that in the context of the computer program the processor is initiated by means of the tablet 20 integrated wireless communication interface in the environment of the tablet 20 to look for devices that are in communication range of the tablet 20 and that have their own communication interfaces that they use with the tablet 20 to be able to communicate.

If such devices are in communication range, their identifiers are used in a database in the tablet 20 their information to be displayed and searched 2 B on the display 21 here in the area 24 For example, shown as a list. In the example shown, icons and designations of doors or door systems are listed, including devices connected to the tablet 20 to be able to communicate. Here four configurable doors were found: a front door of a building, a door to the secretariat or boss, a door to the development department and one to the administration.

Here in the left area 22 in turn, based on the database in the tablet 20 , Parameter data that can be set or assigned to the listed doors. In the example shown, these are data of persons who can be granted or denied access to the respective doors.

In addition, now the buttons 28 . 29 activated or displayed and are thus actuated or clickable.

This is the initialization of the tablet 20 completed, and the actual operation by the user can be done.

A second, in 3 shown part of the process follows the previous part. 3a content therefore corresponds to the content of 2a , The button 29 is not shown as an example, but can still be available and activated.

As in 3b the user has to recognize from the parameters or data representing them 25 the person "B. Meyer "selected. This can be done by clicking or dragging with the cursor 30 respectively. This entry is visually highlighted compared to the other entries in the list, here by means of enlargement. This makes this parameter as selected in the middle range 23 also displayed. In addition, the doors are using the associated display data 26 displayed, to which this person is assigned as authorized; in the example shown, the entrance door and the administration door. These two doors are advantageously in the right area 24 could not show it.

Afterwards, it is possible for the user to extend or further restrict the assignment here. Here only the extension is explained. Im in 3c The example shown is or is an example of the entry or the data 26 , which represent the development door, selected and visually highlighted. Here by Drag'n'Drop the user can assign this entry to the selected person, here B. Meyer, and thus give this person access to the development, but initially only on the tablet 20 , The resulting content of the ad 21 is in 3d shown.

If the user notices that the assignment is not correct or should not be changed at all, he can, as in 4a shown, according to a third part of the method or of this realizing computer program by clicking the button 28 take back the assignment. Ie. the user does not have to remember what the original assignment was. The resulting display is the same as in 3a shown and is in 4b displayed.

The assignment of the three doors will be explained later.

A fourth, in 5 The illustrated part of the method relates to the case that a door is selected first instead of a parameter.

As in 5a to recognize, the user here with the "development" 26 designated door selected. This in turn can be done by clicking or dragging with the cursor 30 respectively. For visual highlighting, this entry is highlighted over the other entries in the list. This will make this door as selected in the middle area 23 also displayed. In addition, the parameters become associated display data 25 displayed, which are assigned to this door as authorized to access; in the example shown the persons "M. Schmidt "and" C. Schulz ". These two persons are advantageously in the left area 22 could not show it.

Afterwards, it is possible for the user to extend or further restrict the assignment here. In contrast to 3 the restriction is explained here. In the example shown, if the entry or the data is exemplary 25 , which represent the parameters, selected and again visually highlighted. As in 5b and 5c shown, the user can remove this entry by Drag'n'Drop of the selected door, here the development, and thus deny this person the access to development in the future, but again initially only on the tablet 20 , This entry is from the middle section 23 away. The resulting content of the ad 21 is in 5d shown.

It is clear that expanding according to 3 on the selection according to 5 and conversely, restricting according to 5 on the selection according to 3 is applicable.

6 shows the second part of the method in a modification. There are buttons for changing the assignment 31 . 32 provided that give the user the opportunity to move the highlighted here by means of color inversion entry in the middle and thus allocate or move to the left and thus remove the assignment can again.

7 shows the fourth part of the method in a modification. There are buttons for changing the assignment 31 . 32 now between the areas 23 . 24 provided that give the user the opportunity to move the highlighted here also by means of color inversion entry in the middle and thus allocate or move to the right and thus remove the assignment can again.

8th shows a flowchart of the overall realized method. After starting in a step S1 (start of the computer program), in a subsequent step S2, all are in communication reach with the tablet 20 determined elements, for example by clicking the button 29 ,

Thereafter, in a step S3 all determined and in the database of the tablet 20 existing elements or the associated wing or wing systems displayed, and that according to the previous description in the area 24 the ad 21 ,

After that, in a step S4, the user can change the assignment or the values of parameters for specific wings or wing systems, thus adapting, for example, the access authorizations.

If the adjustments have been made, the user must, for example, via the button mentioned above 27 only the tablet 20 instruct the changed data to the wings, or, better said, to their identified elements.

This can be done based on receipt. This has the advantage that the tablet 20 Detects if the sent data has been received correctly. If not, either on the tablet 20 a corresponding error message is displayed, and / or the content displayed is reset accordingly, as if the user had the button 28 would have pressed. Advantageously, the reset takes place only for the wings or wing systems that have not acknowledged the data reception.

Furthermore, it is preferably intended to be able to jump back from each step S3-S5, which has a positive influence on the user-friendliness.

The invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments.

Although the invention has been described in relation to a door, it is applicable to any movable wing having such wings.

Instead of a tablet 20 can be used as a parameterizing device any other device that has a corresponding display and control options (smartphone, tablet PC, ...).

Instead of the cursor or touch control all other operations, for example by means of buttons, voice control, gestures and the like are conceivable.

Instead of the electromechanical knob 12 For example, any electronic device of a wing or wing assembly may be used as an element with which the parameterizing device may communicate, such as a door operator, a sensor, or the like.

As communication, wireless communication is preferred in order to minimize the effort and concomitant training of the users, even if a wired communication is still possible.

As parameters, all values can be considered, with which the operation of a wing or a wing system can be influenced, such as the hold-open time at wings or wing systems, which is set in a door drive.

As a result, the invention provides a very simple way to parameterize wings or wing systems in a simple manner, ie their operating parameters, to be able to set without the user having to have special knowledge, a comparison must be made with any headquarters or even a complex communication connection can be established got to.

In addition, no wiring is needed on the wing or the wing system. As a result, even existing wings, in particular made of glass or wing systems having them, can be easily installed or retrofitted and parameterized.

In addition, only limited settings can be made possible for the users, for example, in that one user can only parameterize the administrative wing and the other only the development wing in a building.
