Claims (53)
Das Bildlesegerät ist mit einem Rechner mit einer Software verbunden, durch welche die aufgenommenen Daten (insbesondere Ablesezeile, Identifikations markierung) hinsichtlich der Farbgebung jeweils einer von zwei Klassen von Bild punkten zugeordnet werden, und durch welche die Bildpunkte der eine Klasse als eine eindeutig identifizierbare Farbe, insbesondere schwarz, und die Bildpunkte der anderen Klasse als eine andere eindeutig identifizierbare Farbe, insbesonde re weiß, dargestellt werden;
die Bildpunkte werden vorzugsweise als binäre Signale weiterverarbeitet.26. Consumption meter according to one of claims 1 to 25.
The image reading device is connected to a computer with software through which the recorded data (in particular reading line, identification marking) are assigned to one of two classes of image points with respect to the coloring, and through which the image points of the one class as a clearly identifiable color , in particular black, and the pixels of the other class are represented as another clearly identifiable color, in particular white;
the pixels are preferably processed further as binary signals.
Das Bildlesegerät besitzt eine Vergleicheinrichtung, durch welche die zeitliche Änderung eines Teilbereichs des Sichtfensters hinsichtlich Art und/oder Fre quenz der Änderung erfaßbar ist;
vorzugsweise ist in dem Teilbereich ein Kontrollrad mit Markierungen oder eine sonstige bewegliche Oberfläche mit Markierungen angeordnet, deren Bewe gungsgeschwindigkeit von der Funktion des Verbrauchszählers und vorzugswei se von der Höhe des Verbrauchs abhängt.34. Consumption meter according to one of claims 1 to 33
The image reader has a comparison device through which the change over time of a portion of the viewing window with respect to the type and / or frequency of the change can be detected;
A control wheel with markings or another movable surface with markings is preferably arranged in the partial area, the movement speed of which depends on the function of the consumption meter and preferably on the amount of consumption.
Das Bildlesegerät ist über Kabel mit einem Bildschirm (Display 39) verbindbar oder ständig verbunden;
das Display weist einen Träger (41) auf, an dem eine Kamera (Übertragungska mera 42) in einer vorbestimmten Position über dem Display zur Aufnahme der an dem Display dargestellten Daten zu befestigen ist.47. Consumption meter according to one of the preceding claims
The image reader can be connected via cable to a screen (display 39 ) or is permanently connected;
the display has a support ( 41 ) on which a camera (transmission camera 42 ) is to be fastened in a predetermined position above the display for receiving the data shown on the display.
- - ein Bildlesegerät zur photographischen Erfassung des Sichtfeldes, welches vorzugsweise mit dem Verbrauchszähler eine hermetisch dicht verschlossene Einheit bildet eine Rechnereinheit zur Umwandlung des optischen Bildes in elektronische Si gnale;
- - eine Verkabelung zur Übertragung der Signete an einen elektronischen Bild schirm;
- - welche an einen Träger über dem Bildschirm zur Aufnahme der an dem Bild schirm sichtbaren Bilder des Sichtfeldes ankuppelbar ist;
- - eine mit Rechner verbundenen Ableseeinheit zur Umwandlung der aufgenom menen Bilder der Übertragungskamera in elektronische Signale, welche durch den Rechner als Verbrauchsdaten des Verbrauchszählers auswertbar sind.
- - An image reader for photographing the field of view, which preferably forms a hermetically sealed unit with the consumption counter, a computer unit for converting the optical image into electronic signals;
- - Cabling for the transmission of the signet to an electronic screen;
- - Which can be coupled to a support above the screen for receiving the images of the field of view visible on the screen;
- - A reading unit connected to the computer for converting the recorded images of the transmission camera into electronic signals, which can be evaluated by the computer as consumption data of the consumption meter.
