DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

1a shows an extruded profile 100 , The extruded profile 100 extends in a longitudinal direction parallel to its length L. The extruded profile 100 includes a first surface 110 and a second surface 112 which are located within a thickness T of each other. The profile further includes a first edge 120 and a second edge 122 which are located within a width W of each other. The first surface 110 and the first edge 120 are arranged so that a boundary of the first surface 110 at the border of the first edge 120 includes. The first surface 110 may be planar or substantially planar. The first surface may be substantially planar such that the surface 110 is planar except with respect to narrow grooves or other patterns. In addition, the border, for example, can be near the edge 120 rounded, whereby the substantially planar surface near the border can be slightly curved. Such a substantially planar surface defines a plane of the surface. A planar surface is substantially planar.

The first surface 110 can on an installation page of an extruded profile 110 be arranged. The installation preferably has good strength properties without visible defects. The installation side is typically visible in a structure comprising the extruded panel. The second surface 112 can be arranged on a second side. The second side preferably has a structure that with a fastening element of the profile 100 is compatible to achieve a good attachment of the profile. Therefore, there is on the first surface 110 and the second surface 112 advantageously different structures.

The width W of the extruded profile 100 is preferably at least 50 mm, such as at least 100 mm, such as at least 110 mm. The width W of the extruded profile 100 is preferably at most 400 mm, such as at most 300 mm, such as at most 250 mm. The width can range, for example, from 50 mm to 400 mm, from 100 mm to 300 mm or from 110 mm to 250 mm. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the width W of the extruded profile is 12 cm.

The thickness T of the extruded profile 100 is preferably at least 10 mm, more preferably at least 15 mm or at least 18 mm. In addition, the thickness T of the extruded profile 100 preferably at most 35 mm or at most 30 mm or preferably at most 28 mm. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the thickness T of the extruded profile is between 10 mm and 35 mm, such as between 15 mm and 30 mm, such as between 18 mm and 28 mm, for example 28 mm.

The length L of the extruded profile 100 is preferably at least 1.5 m, at least 2 m or at least 2.5 m. In some embodiments, the length is at most 10 m, and in some of these embodiments at most 7 m. The length may, for example, range from 1.5 to 10 meters, such as from 2 meters to 7 meters, such as from 2.5 meters to 5 meters.

The density of the extruded profile is preferably between 650 kg / m ³ and 830 kg / m ³ , more preferably between 680 kg / m ³ and 800 kg / m ³ . In an advantageous embodiment, the extruded profile 100 manufactured in such a way that the length-specific weight of the extruded profile between 2.2 kg / m and 2.8 kg / m, preferably between 2.3 kg / m and 2.7 kg / m. The length-specific weight of a profile with a density ρ, thickness T and width W is the product ρTW.

In one embodiment, the extruded profile comprises thermoplastic polymer material. This has the technical effect that the profile can later be marked by melting the thermoplastic polymer. Preferably, the melting point of the thermoplastic material is at most 200 ° C, at most 180 ° C or at most 160 ° C. This has the technical effect that, provided that the composite material comprises natural fibers, the fibrous material does not burn or become dark at the melting point. Therefore, such melting temperatures allow the deformation of the composite without thermally degrading the fibrous material. A low melting point also has the technical advantage of allowing low energy composite forming of the composite and cheaper thermal insulators. Preferably, the melting point of the thermoplastic material is at least 60 ° C, at least 80 ° C, at least 100 ° C or at least 120 ° C. This has the technical effect that the profile can be used even in relatively hot environments, such as on a terrace that is exposed directly to sunlight, or in a sauna. The melting point of the thermoplastic polymer may be, for example, from 60 ° C to 200 ° C; from 90 ° C up to 180 ° C or from 120 ° C to 160 ° C.

The extruded profile 100 preferably comprises natural fiber-plastic composite. Such extruded profile 100 comprises plastic matrix material and natural fibrous material mixed with the matrix. As discussed above, the plastic part of the composite preferably comprises or consists of thermoplastic polymer. For example, the profile 100 Cellulosic fiber-plastic composite, such as wood-plastic composite. The cellulosic fibers may be derived from any plant material containing cellulose, for example wood material. The wood material may be derived from softwood trees such as spruce, pine, fir, larch, Douglas fir, or hemlock fir, or from hardwood trees such as birch, aspen, poplar, alder, eucalyptus or acacia, or from a blend of softwoods and hardwoods , Non-wood material may consist of agricultural residues, grasses and other plant substances such as straw, leaves, bark, seeds, pods, flowers, vegetables or fruits of cotton, corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, rice, flax, hemp, manila hemp, Sisal hemp, jute, china grass, kenaf, bagasse, bamboo or reed. The natural fibers have the technical effect that does not melt the entire material of the profile during melt-marking. Because natural fibers have a much higher thermal decomposition point than the thermoplastic material, the fibrous material remains firm even if the thermoplastic part of the composite is melted. Thus, the solid fibrous material keeps the profile even during marking. Therefore, the labeling can be carried out at a very late stage of use. For example, if a table is made using the profiles, a marking may be made during the manufacture of the table, or even at an otherwise finished table. It should also be noted that even if an object (eg a table) comprises multiple tags, it is possible to mark the location of only one tag. The tag that is tagged is operational. Of several tags, one can be evaluated with the best locations, such as based on the usability of the tag and / or object, such as a table comprising the profile that includes the tag.

In one embodiment, the natural fibrous material comprises lignin. This has the technical effect that the coupling between the plastic (such as a thermoplastic) matrix material and the fibrous material is good because lignin has many hydroxyl (OH) groups. The hydroxyl groups are known to bind well to many matrix materials. The natural fibrous material can be supplied in the form of cellulose-based particles. For improved coupling, for example, the amount of lignin calculated from the total amount of the cellulose-based particles may be more than 15% by weight or more than 20% by weight. As will be discussed, the profile may be a layered structure. The profile may, for example, comprise a layer, such as a core layer, designed for improved coupling, as discussed herein.

The second layer 116 is made of a different material than the first layer 114 produced. This allows the use of a wide range of materials for the extruded profile, since it is not necessary that the visual appearance of the second layer 116 good is. For example, the second layer may comprise recycled material. For example, the second layer 116 dark colored recycled material, even if the extruded profile 100 (especially the first layer 114 of which) has a light color.

Referring to 1a to 1j to with the extruded profile 100 determine associated information, such as the identity of the profile 100 , or a reference to an information source, includes the extruded profile 100 or a panel 250 generally continues to be a near field communication (NFC) tag 200 , That way it can affect the extruded profile 100 (or the panel 250 ) information by reading the NFC tag 200 be determined.

Near field communication (NFC) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices for establishing radio communication with each other by bringing them into close proximity. The term "close proximity" in NFC means a reading distance of at most 5 to 10 cm, for example at most 7 cm. Typically, the reading distance can be smaller, for example, a few inches. In some applications, the reading distance is a few millimeters, which requires the NFC tag to be almost touched by the reader device.

NFC standards cover communication protocols and data exchange formats and are based on existing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) standards, including ISO / IEC 14443 (with reference to Part 1, 2nd Edition, dated 15 July 2008, Part 2, 2nd Edition, dated 1st September 2010, Part 3, published in October 2010 and Part 4, dated 15 July 2008) and ISO / IEC 18092 (Referring to 1st edition, dated April 1, 2004). Standard NFC systems also include those based on FeliCa enough Japanese Standard JIS X6319-4 (dated October 20, 2010).

NFC operates at 13.56 MHz ISO / IEC 1800-3 (Reference to 3rd edition, dated 15.11.2010) air interface and at rates ranging from 106 kbps to 424 kbps. NFC involves an initiator (ie, a read / write device 300 ) and a destination (such as an NFC tag). The read / write device 300 actively generates an RF field 460 which can operate a passive target (eg the tag 200).

This allows for goals to assume very simple form factors, such as tags, stickers, key fobs, or cards that do not require batteries. The term read / write device refers to a device designed to read and optionally also to write.

Referring to 1b includes the NFC tag 200 a chip 210 and an antenna 220 , The antenna 220 is electric with the chip 210 coupled. The NFC tag 200 further includes a protective surface 230 , The chip 210 and the antenna are inside the protective surface 230 educated. The protective surface 230 can be made of plastic, paper or other suitable material. Preferably, the surface is 230 flexible. The material of the surface 230 can be electrically and magnetically non-conductive to the operation of the antenna 220 not to block, or the material may be weak-conductive or conductive. The NFC tag 200 Can be pressure-sensitive adhesive for attaching the tag 200 on an object, such as the extruded panel 100 , include.

The NFC tag 200 is passive, that is, the day 200 contains no battery to operate the chip 210 , The basic operation of the tag is to extract energy from a read signal 460 to extract and respond to the read signal. This response can be accomplished by employing backscatter modulation of the radio frequency field (eg, for UHF tags) or by varying the load imposed by the tag on the magnetic field (eg, RF tags). That way the day can be 200 information 470 to the reading device 300 or the read / write device 300 send. Typically, the day can 200 in response send an Electronic Product Code (EPC) and / or Tag Identifier (TID) or Universal Identifier (UID) code, EAN code or any serial number.

The chip 210 may include analog and digital (logic) circuitry to perform its operation, and / or may include one, two or more processors, memory as one, two or more memory sections, and a communications module, such as one with the antenna 220 coupled radio frequency modulation circuit include. The memory may include executable instructions for the processor, data and information related to the operation of the tag, such as an electronic product code, tag access tag for accessing the tag, and user data. Some of the memory may be read-only memory and some of the memory may be writable. Part of the memory can be write-once storage, allowing it at an early stage of the life span of the tag 200 is programmed, or may be read-only by an access password. The memory may include an access password for verifying access rights to some of the functionalities or to the storage area. For example, an access password may reside in the memory and be granted access to a memory area by sending the access password to the device.

• – Nurlesespeicher,
• – beschreibbaren Speicher, und
• – Einmal-Schreibspeicher.

The NFC tag 200 may include at least one of:

• - read only memory,
• - writable memory, and
• - One-time write memory.

In a preferred embodiment, the NFC tag includes all of these three types of memory.

The read-only memory can be the identity of the NFC tag 200 include. The write-once memory of the NFC tag 200 Can by the manufacturer of the extruded profile 100 or a panel 250 be programmed. The write-once storage can provide information about the day 200 itself and / or the extruded profile 100 include yourself. This information may include, for example, information about the profile, the tag, the manufacturer, the date of manufacture, or a reference to such information. The writable memory of the NFC tag 200 can by an operator (operator) of the panel 250 such as the extruded profile 100 , be programmed. The "operator" can refer to a service provider who operates a service, and having the right to use the structure comprising an extruded profile. For example, the service provider may be a restaurant operator and the structure may be a table in the restaurant. The operator in this case would be the person running the restaurant or his employee. For example, the operator could put a menu in the writable memory of the tag 200 enroll. Alternatively, for example, the operator could provide a computer network address to the Internet pages of the restaurant from which such a menu could be retrieved by a customer using the NFC tag of the profile 100 of the table 180 enroll.

The size of an NFC tag 200 may vary. Typically, this is the NFC tag or, due to its flexibility, may be designed to be planar, as in FIG 1b shown. The tag has a length L _T and a width W _T , the direction of the length being perpendicular to the direction of the width. Moreover, in this description, the terms length and width for the tag are selected so that the length is at least the width. The length L _T typically ranges from 15 mm to 60 mm, for example from 30 mm to 50 mm and in one embodiment about 4 cm. The width W _T is typically from 10 mm to 40 mm, for example from 15 mm to 30 mm and in one embodiment approximately 2 cm. In some embodiments, the ratio of length to width L _T / W _T ranges from 1 to 4, for example from 1.5 to 3, and in one embodiment about 2. It is noted that in the above definition of expressions L _T / W _{T is} at least one.

Referring to 1a and 1d can the extruded profile 100 holes 140 include. The holes may be in the direction of the length of the profile 100 extend. The cross section of the hole 140 can be oval. The extruded profile 100 preferably comprises at least two oval holes 140 more preferably, at least three oval holes 140 , For example, the number of oval holes may be between 2 and 6 or between 3 and 5. In an advantageous embodiment, the extruded profile comprises 100 three oval holes 140 , The weight of the profile 100 and the amount of raw material needed will decrease due to the holes 140 from. Thanks to the reduced weight of the extruded profile 100 may be the installation of the extruded profiles 100 be lighter and, moreover, can transport the extruded profiles 100 cheaper than conventional extruded profiles, which do not include any kind of holes.

However, not only oval-shaped holes, but also holes of other shapes in the extruded profile 100 be used. Holes of other shapes may be, for example, symmetrically rounded (circular) holes or tetragonal holes, such as square shaped holes, optionally rounded at the corners, as in FIGS 1d and 1e shown. Even these types of holes will cause a reduced weight of the product, typically even more than the oval-shaped holes and therefore reduce transport costs. Nevertheless, in the invention, the oval holes are preferably used, because the strength of the extruded profile, the oval holes 140 can be much better than the strength of the extruded profile comprising tetragonal holes, and even better than the strength of an extruded profile comprising symmetrically rounded (circular) holes. However, it should be in the extruded profile 100 not too many holes 140 because it could lower the strength properties of the extruded profile. This should be considered at least when the amount of recycled raw material used is at least 70%. In addition, if a mold is used in the manufacturing process, there probably should not be too many holes in the extruded profile 100 give.

The shapes and dimensions of the holes are preferably selected in such a way that it is possible to obtain very good runnability properties for the extruded profile to be produced. The width W _h (see 2a ) of the hole 140 is preferably about 25 mm, for example between 20 and 30 mm. The height H _{h of} the hole 140 is determined in such a way that a second thickness T ₂ (see 2a ) between the hole 140 and the first surface 110 at least 3 mm, more preferably between 5 and 7 mm. In addition, a third thickness T ₃ (see 2a ) between the hole 140 and the second surface 112 at least 3 mm, more preferably between 5 and 7 mm. Preferably, the ratio of these thicknesses T ₂ / T ₃ ranges from 0.8 to 1.2, more preferably approximately 1. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the height H _{h of} the hole is 140 about 16 mm, for example between 14 and 18 mm.

The distance D between two adjacent holes 140 , where the distance in the direction of the width of the profile 100 is preferably at least 70%, at least 80% or at least 90% of the smaller of the thicknesses T ₂ and T ₃ . The distance D is preferably at most 1.3, at most 1.2 or at most 1.1 times the larger of the thicknesses T ₂ and T ₃ . The distance D may be, for example, between 3 and 10 mm, preferably between 4 and 7 mm. As in 2a shown, can be an NFC tag 200b in a hole 140 be arranged.

The 1c . 1d . 1e and 1f show in end view some advanced profiles 100 , In these embodiments, the extruded profile comprises 100 at least in the first edge of the profile 100 a groove 150 , As shown in the figures, the profiles comprise another groove in the opposite second edge. The groove 150 is between two tongues 152 and 154 (please refer 2a ) arranged. In one embodiment, near field communication (NFC) is tag 200 , or at least part of it, arranged on the first edge in the groove. That way, the NFC tag becomes 200 mechanically through the two tongues of the profile 200 protected. It should be noted that in the 1e and 1f only the areas near the two edges are shown, whereby the width of the profile can be significant. The central part is omitted from these figures.

As in the 1c to 1f shown, the groove can 150 include an area parallel to the first surface 110 of the panel 100 is. As shown in these figures, the groove may further comprise a surface whose tangent plane is at an angle with the plane of the first surface 110 of the panel 100 forms. This angle can be for example 90 degrees, as in the 1d and 1f , In addition, the profiles of 1c and 1f such an area. In addition, the profiles include 1c and 1f continue an area whose tangent plane is an angle of less than 90 degrees and more than 0 degrees with the plane of the first surface 110 of the panel 100 forms. A tangent plane of an area at a specific point of the area is defined as the plane that contains all of the specified point of the tangent line area. As a result, the surface normal of the tangent plane is parallel to the surface normal of the region at the specified point.

1g shows an embodiment of a panel 250 , A "panel" generally refers to a planar object having a length L, width W and thickness T. The panel may be, for example, a plywood panel, OSB (standard oriented board), chipboard, wooden plank, wood board or extruded profile 100 his. The panel 250 includes at least one NFC tag 200 , Three tags 200a to 200c are shown in the figure to illustrate some possible locations for the NFC tag. The day 200a is placed on the surface of the panel, the surface having its surface normal parallel to the thickness. The day 200b is disposed on an edge of the panel, the edge having its surface normal parallel to the width of the panel. A tag could be placed at one end of the panel with the end having that of its surface normal parallel to the length of the panel. The day 200c is inside the panel 250 arranged. The tag may, for example, be arranged in an adhesive layer of a plywood panel. A tag placed on an edge or an end (as discussed above) has the technical effect that the tag is also visible from a stack of panels. As a result, the correct positioning of the hand-held reading device is easy.

Regarding the size generally for the panel 250 For example, the thickness may be from 4 mm to 50 mm or within the range previously specified for the extruded profile 100 was specified.

The length L of the panel may for example be at least 2.2 m, at least 2.4 m or at least 2.5 m. The length L of the panel may be no more than 10 m, not more than 7 m or not more than 6 m. The typical length depends on the material of the panel. An extruded profile 100 can be relatively long, as discussed above. However, typically plywood panels, chipboard, OSBs, planks or boards are shorter.

For these panels, the length L can be, for example, from 2.2 m to 6 m; from 2.4 m to 5 m or from 2.5 m to 4.6 m.

By defining the orientation of the length and the width, the width of the panel is smaller than the length or equal to the length. The width W of the panel may be, for example, at most 2 m, less than 1.8 m, or less than 1.6 m. The width W of the panel may be, for example, at least 5 cm or at least 10 cm. A typical width depends on the material and the use of the panel. An extruded profile 100 can be relatively narrow, as discussed above. However, typically plywood panels, chipboard, OSBs are wider. For these panels, the width W may be, for example, 0.2 m to 2 m, 0.3 m to 1.8 m or 0.35 m to 1.6 m. In addition, wooden planks or boards are typically narrower. For these panels, the width W may be, for example, 5 cm to 25 cm, 7 cm to 20 cm or 9 cm to 16 cm.

The area of the first surface 110 of the panel 250 , as defined by the length L and the width W, is typically at least 0.25 m ² or at least 0.3 m ² . The area of the first surface 110 of the panel 250 is in part at most 7 m ² or at most 5 m ² . The area may for example range from 0.25 m ² to 7 m ² or from 0.3 m ² to 5 m ² .

An NFC tag is readable from a panel or profile because the panel is typically relatively thin and an NFC reader relatively close to the tag 200 can be arranged, at least in the direction of the surface normal of the surface 112 of the profile 100 (or the panel 250 ).

However, the panels are 250 or the extruded profiles 100 typically stored in stacks, such as the 1h1 and 1h2 shown. With reference to 1h1 can in a pile Neighboring panels be arranged on each other. This makes the stack a vertical stack. With reference to 1h1 For example, adjacent panels in a stack may be juxtaposed in the horizontal direction. This makes the stack a horizontal stack. The NFC tag 200 is preferably in or on the panel 250 or in or on the profile 100 arranged at such a location that it can be read out of stacks by the hand-held NFC reading device. Of course, in the case of a relatively flat vertical stack, that's the day 200 the top panel or profile is readable. However, in many cases it is advantageous that the tag can also be read from the side of the stack.

Therefore, and because the read distance of an NFC device is short, this is the NFC tag 200 arranged in such a way that the distance d ₁ from the NFC tag 200 to an edge of the panel 250 (or profile 100 ) in the direction of the width W of the panel 250 (or profile 100 ) is at most 10 cm, preferably at most 5 cm. Referring to 1g can the day 200 be arranged on the edge, whereby the distance can be zero. It should also be noted that, in turn, the thickness T, the width W and the length L are defined in such a manner that T ≦ W ≦ L. As shown in FIG 1h1 As we have measured the distance to the next edge in the direction of the width, this is always the case if the width of the panel is at most 20 cm.

However, since the NFC tag 200 preferably readable by a handheld NFC reader, is the NFC tag 200 preferably arranged in such a way that the distance d ₂ from the NFC tag 200 to an edge (ie the nearer edge) of the panel 250 (or profile 100 ) in the direction of the length L of the panel 250 (or profile 100 ) is at most 2.2 m, preferably at most 2 m, and more preferably at most 1.8 m. With reference to 1h2 This ensures that even if long panels are arranged in a horizontal stack, an NFC tag is located at a reasonably low height to be read with a hand-held device. It should also be noted that the width of the panel is typically so low that in a horizontal stack with the width vertically aligned, an NFC tag for a handheld reader will never be too high. It is also possible to arrange the tag in such a way that it is never too low in a horizontal stack. In such a case, the distance d _{2 may be,} for example, at least 30 cm, at least 40 cm, or preferably at least 50 cm. The distance d ₂ can, for example, 30 cm to 2.2 m; 20 cm to 2.0 m or 50 cm to 1.8 m.

In a typical stack, like in 7a are shown, are several panels 250 or profiles 100 arranged on each other and in the direction of the width of the panel to each other. In such a case, the width of the stack W _{P is} parallel to the width of the panels 250 (or the profiles 100 ). The width of the stack W _P is typically at most 2 m, or less than 1.8 m, or less than 1.6 m. This has the technical effect that the NFC tag can be read from the topmost panels even if the tag is located in the central area of a wide panel (ie d ₁ is large). The length of the stack corresponds to the length of the panels 250 or profiles 100 whose lengths have been discussed above. In addition, such a stack is movable with a regular forklift. Still further, due to the aforementioned location of the NFC tags, at least one NFC tag of a panel or profile is readable from the stack.

Referring to 1i Typically, multiple extruded profiles are produced sequentially. As an example shows 1i a first extruded profile 100a that's a first day 200a includes, and a second extruded profile 100b that's a second day 200b includes. The other position of the tag 200a and 200b excluding, are the profiles 100a and 100b Visibly similar, visibly similar, visible substantially identical or visually identical. The visual similarity or identity refers to a person performing a similarity evaluation without technical equipment, optionally excluding spectacles. The substantial similarity is a result of the manufacturing process that produces substantially similar objects. However, the place of the day 200 not necessarily in all profiles 100 exactly the same.

• – ist die Differenz zwischen den Orten der Tags in der Richtung der Dicke der Profile (oder Paneele) abs (r_T,a – r_T,b) maximal ein Fünftel (1/5) der Dicke T des Profils (oder Paneels; es ist anzumerken, dass die Dicken der Profile 100a und 100b gleich oder visuell im Wesentlichen gleich sind); vorzugsweise ist die Differenz abs (r_T,a – r_T,b) höchstens ein Zehntel (1/10) der Dicke T des Profils (oder Paneels); und
• – ist die Differenz zwischen den Orten der Tags in Richtung der Breite der Profile (oder Paneele) abs (r_W,a – r_W,b) höchstens ein Zehntel (1/10) der Breite W des Profils (oder Paneels); es sei anzumerken, dass die Breite der Profile 100a und 100b gleich oder visuell im Wesentlichen gleich sind; vorzugsweise ist die Differenz abs (r_W,a – r_W,b) höchstens ein Zwanzigstel (1/20) der Breite W des Profils (oder Paneels).

The place of the first day 200a in the first profile 100a , as measured from an origin Oa, is given by the coordinates r _{T, a} , r _{W, a} , and r _{L, a} , these coordinates being in the direction of thickness, width, and length (of the first profile, respectively) 100a ) are oriented. The place of the second day 200b in the second profile 100b , from another origin point Ob is measured by the coordinates r _{T, b} , r _{W, b} , and r _{L, b} given these coordinates in the direction of thickness, width and length (of the second profile 100b ) are oriented. The origin point Ob is in relation to the second profile 100b localized at the same place where the origin point Oa with respect to the first profile 100a is localized. The origin point Oa may be, for example, in the center of the first profile 100a lie; where the origin point Ob is the center of the second profile 100b is. In 1i is / are a predefined corner of the profile (s) used as the origin (s). As the profiles are extruded, in the embodiment of FIG 1i .

• - is the difference between the locations of the tags in the thickness direction of the profiles (or panels) abs (r _{T, a} - r _{T, b} ) at most one fifth (1/5) of the thickness T of the profile (or panel; It should be noted that the thicknesses of the profiles 100a and 100b equal or visually substantially the same); Preferably, the difference abs (r _{T, a} -r _{T, b} ) is at most one tenth (1/10) of the thickness T of the profile (or panel); and
• - is the difference between the locations of the tags in the width direction of the profiles (or panels) abs (r _{W, a} - r _{W, b} ) at most one tenth (1/10) of the width W of the profile (or panel); It should be noted that the width of the profiles 100a and 100b are the same or visually substantially the same; Preferably, the difference abs (r _{W, a} -r _{W, b} ) is at most one-twentieth (1/20) of the width W of the profile (or panel).

• – die Differenz zwischen den Orten der Tags in Richtung der Länge der Profile (oder Paneele) abs (r_L,a–r_L,b) zumindest 3 mm, zumindest 5 mm oder zumindest 10 mm ist.

In addition, since some manufacturing tolerance may be allowed for the position of the tag in the direction of length, a set of profiles includes at least a pair of profiles, the pair being the profiles 100a and 100b includes, so that

• The difference between the locations of the tags in the direction of the length of the profiles (or panels) abs (rL _{, a} -rL _{, b} ) is at least 3 mm, at least 5 mm or at least 10 mm.

The manufacturing tolerances in the length direction can occur, for example, due to the variation or speed of the extrusion process. Thus, provided that a tag is attached to a profile after extrusion on a timely basis, variations in speed will result in manufacturing tolerances in that direction.

1j shows two panels 250a and 250b that cover a day on their surfaces. Regarding the locations of the tags within the panels 250 the same applies as discussed above for the extruded profile.

As in 2a includes an embodiment of the extruded profile in the first edge 120 of the profile 100 a groove 150 , The groove 150 is between two tongues 152 and 154 arranged. In one embodiment, at least part of the near field communication (NFC) tag is 200a on the first edge 120 in the groove 150 arranged. In one embodiment, the entire near field communication (NFC) tag is 200a in the groove 150 arranged. This is the NFC tag 200a mechanically through the two tongues 152 and 154 of the profile 100 protected. The same applies to the profiles of 1c to 1f ,

Even if two tags 200a and 200b , in 2a an extruded profile preferably comprises only one NFC tag 200 , The one NFC day 200 Can be used to extrude the profile 100 to identify.

When the day 200 in the groove 150 or the hole 140 is arranged, is the day 200 as such not visible to an end user. The "end user" here refers to the end user who uses a structure, such as a floor or a table made of profiles. The end user can therefore be an operator of a structure 180 that the profile 200 or a user using the structure, such as a customer of a restaurant, or a person visiting the patio. As is clear, other operators also handle the profile during the lifetime of the profile. Such operators include the manufacturer of the profile, managers and workers in a storage location of the profile, a transporter of the profile and a builder of the structure. The tag is visible to these operators. If the structure 180 However, the day will be built 200 covered and becomes invisible.

Examples of such structures are in the 2d to 2g shown. Such a structure 180 includes an extruded profile 100 and another object (e.g., a connection object 190 or another profile 100 ), so the NFC tag 200 is covered by the object. Moreover, in the structure, the NFC tag is located within the structure. 2d shows in an end view two profiles 100a and 100b using each other using a fastener 190 These profiles and the connector are considered part of the structure 180 designed, such as a table or a floor. In the structure is the NFC tag 200 arranged inside the structure, as in 2d shown. At least one NFC tag may be visible in the boundary of such a structure. However, in addition, at least one NFC tag 200 within the structure 180 arranged. As in 2e shown, may be a connecting element 190 have a different shape. In addition, a connecting element 190 not necessarily required. The structure 180 can have two profiles 100 include, which are connected abutting each other. The structure 180 can have two profiles 100 comprising each other with a tongue groove connection (see the profile of 4a ) are connected. In the structure 180 is an NFC tag 200 within the structure 180 arranged, that is between a surface of the structure 180 and another surface of the structure 180 and between the edges of the structure.

However, if at least part of the tag 200 especially in the groove 150 is arranged, the tag is visible before using the profile. For example, if a stack 700 (please refer 7a ) out the profiles are made, their tags are visible. It's just the second object that covers the tag during use, as described above. Due to the visibility, a user can easily locate the tag and read it out with a reader. In particular, such a tag is visible from the side of the panel. Therefore, a user does not have to climb on the stack to locate the tags, which would be the case if the tag is on the first surface, for example 110 localized. This is important, for example, for reasons of safety at work.

Thus, if one day 200 in the groove 250 is located, it is protected (at least mechanically protected) and is also visible from one side of the profile. The term "side" here refers to a direction perpendicular to the surface normal of the first surface 110 , Thus, subject to an "end" of the profile comprising a groove, another tag or tag could be located within that groove.

2f shows in a perspective view a table 180 , The table 180 includes several extruded profiles 100 and therefore the table is a structure 180 that includes an extruded profile and another object. 2g shows a structure 180 which are two extruded profiles 100a and 100b includes. 2g further shows a reading device 300 , The reading device 300 is designed to extract information from the NFC tag 200 read out, as will be discussed later. The structure can also refer to a terrace that has at least two profiles 100 includes.

In the structure 180 is another profile (eg 100b ) or a connecting element 190 adjacent to the extruded profile (eg 100a ), in particular adjacent to the first groove 150 , In addition, a part of the other profile or the connecting element may be arranged in the groove. This way is also in the case where the day 200 in the groove is arranged, the day 200 not visible to an end user. However, in a single extruded profile, the tag is 200 from the groove 150 off visible if not covered by any cover.

• – mechanischer Schutz durch die Zungen (152, 154) oder die Oberflächen (110, 112) auch während des Transportes, sogar bevor eine Endstruktur 18 gebaut wird,
• – Schutz gegenüber Strahlung und Hitze, wie etwa Hitze und Licht aus der Sonne, insbesondere in der Struktur 180,
• – Schutz gegenüber Feuchtigkeit und Feuchte, wie etwa Regenwasser, insbesondere in der Struktur 180, und
• – Schutz gegenüber Abnutzung, zum Beispiel auf einem Boden.

Other effects caused by placing the tag in the groove 150 or the hole 140 achieved

• - mechanical protection by the tongues ( 152 . 154 ) or the surfaces ( 110 . 112 ) even during transport, even before a final structure 18 is built,
• - Protection against radiation and heat, such as heat and light from the sun, especially in the structure 180 .
• - Protection against moisture and moisture, such as rainwater, especially in the structure 180 , and
• - Protection against wear, for example on a floor.

In addition, a day can easily get to the groove 150 be mounted in a manufacturing process. Thus, in a preferred embodiment, the tag is 200 in the groove 150 arranged.

Referring to 2 B , can the extruded profile 100 be symmetric in the direction of the width W. More specifically, the extruded profile 100 be mirror symmetric in the direction of the width W, the center CL of the profile 100 defines a plane of symmetry in the direction of the width W; and the plane of symmetry CL has its surface normal parallel to the width W. The symmetrical, extruded profile includes two grooves 150a and 150b , An NFC tag 200 can in at least one of the grooves 150a . 150b be arranged and is preferably in only one of the grooves 150a . 150b arranged. The edges 120 . 122 are numbered to that of an NFC tag 200 that in the groove 150 is arranged on the first edge 120 is arranged. The first groove 150a is in the first edge 120 arranged.

Referring to 2a and 2 B can the extruded profile 100 a support structure 156 which are below the boundary of the first surface 110 is arranged, with the boundary at the boundary of the first edge 120 is localized. The support structure 156 can with a tongue 152 on the first edge 120 be integrated. Thanks to the support structure 156 can the strength of the corner of the first surface 130 of the extruded profile 100 and therefore the strength of the entire extruded profile 100 significantly increased. In addition, the runnability of the manufacturing process thanks to the support structure 156 be enlarged.

Referring to 2c extends the support structure 156 which are in the first tongue 152 is integrated, to a first endpoint 310 , The first endpoint 310 is preferably at least 6 mm above the upper surface 320 the second tongue 154 arranged. More preferably, the first endpoint is 310 preferably at least 7 mm or at least 8 mm above the upper surface 320 the second tongue 154 arranged.

The support structure 156 extends from the first endpoint 310 to a second endpoint 312 the support structure. The distance 314 between the first endpoint 310 and the second endpoint 312 is preferably at least 8 mm, more preferably between 8 and 10 mm. Thanks to the dimensions mentioned above, the Strength properties of the extruded profile can be improved.

Referring to 1d . 1e . 1f . 4a . 4e and 4f For example, an extruded profile does not necessarily include the aforementioned support structure 156 , In contrast, the tongues can 152 and 154 have substantially constant thickness.

It has been noticed that an NFC tag 200 best from one direction parallel to the surface normal of the NFC tag 200 is read and typically can not be easily read from one direction parallel to the plane of the NFC tag, the direction being the direction from the antenna 220 to the NFC reader 300 refers. The sensitivity of the orientation stems from the basic idea that the NFC tag 200 Energy from a read signal 460 has to extract. The coupling strength of the electromechanical fields depends on the angle between the direction and the surface normal of a planar antenna.

In some practical applications, this is the NFC tag 200 preferably readable from at least one direction parallel to the surface normal of the surface of the structure 180 is. For example, a tag of a horizontal tree should be readable from above the tree. The structure could be a floor or a table. In such a case should be at least part of the tag 200 be arranged in such a way that the plane of the part of the tag is not parallel to the surface normal of the structure; such as the surface normal of the first surface 110 of the profile 100 (or the panel 250 ). The groove 150 is a preferred place for a day as a groove 150 In general, a surface includes a suitable orientation with respect to the surface of the profile 100 or the panel 250 having. Conversely, a panel without a groove does not include such a location on its edge (see 1g , Day 200b ).

• – das Oberflächennormal der Tangentenebene parallel zum Oberflächennormal der ersten Oberfläche 110 ist, oder
• – das Oberflächennormal der Tangentenebene einen Winkel α₁ mit dem Oberflächennormal der ersten Oberfläche 110 bildet, wobei – der Winkel von 0 bis 85 Grad reicht; vorzugsweise von 0 bis 80 Grad oder – der Winkel von 95 bis 180 Grad reicht; vorzugsweise von 100 bis 180 Grad.

The extruded profile 100 from 2a and 2c includes the groove 150 , where the groove 150 a first surface 350 includes. As shown in the figures, the surface _normal N _{a1 is} the first surface 350 an angle α ₁ with the surface normal N _{s of} the first surface 110 , or with the surface normal N _{s of} the plane of the substantially planar first surface 110 , In 2c the angle α _{1 is} at least 95 degrees. In other embodiments, another support structure could be below the second surface 112 be arranged and with the second tongue 154 be integrated. In such an embodiment, the angle α _{1 would be} less than 90 degrees, preferably less than 85 degrees. Referring to 2a and 2c is at least part of the near field communication (NFC) tag 200 on the first surface 350 arranged. This is the NFC tag 200 also from the direction parallel to the surface normal N _{s of} the first surface 110 readable, or from the direction parallel to the surface normal N _{s of} the plane of the substantially planar first surface 110 , With reference to 4a can be the autonomous of the first area 350 also parallel to the surface normal of the first surface 110 his. With reference to 4e is the first area 350 not necessarily planar. The orientation of a non-planar surface may be described by its tangent plane, the tangent plane depending on the observation point within the first surface; as explained above. Thus, the groove includes 150 a first surface 350 wherein the first surface comprises a point having a tangent plane, wherein

• The surface normal of the tangent plane parallel to the surface normal of the first surface 110 is, or
• - The surface normal of the tangent plane an angle α ₁ with the surface normal of the first surface 110 forms, where - the angle ranges from 0 to 85 degrees; preferably from 0 to 80 degrees or - the angle ranges from 95 to 180 degrees; preferably from 100 to 180 degrees.

In addition, the profile includes 100 or the panel 250 such a day that at least part of the tag on the first surface 350 is arranged. This arrangement improves readability from the direction of the surface normal of the profile 100 , The angle α ₁ is determined by the dimensions of the support structure 156 certainly, or the groove 150 , Some measurements have been discussed above. As in 2 B shown, is the depth of the groove 150 (especially the groove 150a from 2 B ) not uniform. The depth of the groove varies with the distance from the first surface 110 , The depth is considered herein to be the maximum depth and will be in 2 B denoted by D _G.

The groove depth, D _G, may be, for example, from 4 mm to 20 mm, preferably from 8 mm to 15 mm. These dimensions allow on one hand the fixing of the profile 100 from the tongue and also allow effective placement of the tag, as discussed above. In particular, such a groove depth ensures that a reasonably large area of the tag can be placed in the groove such that the area of the groove is not perpendicular to the first surface 110 is. The height of the groove, H _G (see 2 B ) can for example range from 4 mm to 20 mm. However, for reasonable stiffness, the thickness of a tongue T _T1 or T _{T2 is} preferably at least 1 mm, such as at least 2 mm.

Referring to 2c includes the extruded profile 100 from 2a . 2c and 4a to 4f the groove 150 , where the groove 150 a second area 360 includes. As shown in the figures, the surface _normal N _{a2 is} the second surface 360 (or a tangent plane thereof) substantially parallel to a direction of the plane of the first surface 110 , Thus, assuming that part of the tag is on the second surface 360 Also, the tag is easily readable from a direction parallel to the first surface, such as from the side of a stack of profiles.

In general, the surface normal is the second surface 360 not necessarily parallel to a direction of the plane of the first surface 110 , In a general case, the surface _normal N _{a2 forms} the second surface 360 or a tangent plane thereof an angle α _{2 of} the surface normal N _{s of} the first surface 110 , or with the surface normal N _{s of} the plane of the substantially planar surface 110 , In 2 B the angle α ₂ differs from the angle α ₁ ( 2c ).

• – das Oberflächennormal N_a2 der zweiten Tangentenebene einen zweiten Winkel β mit dem Oberflächennormal N_a1 der vorgenannten Tangentenebene der ersten Fläche 350 bildet.

Thus, in one embodiment (see for example 3a ) the groove 150 a second area 360 wherein the second surface comprises a point having a second tangent plane, wherein

• - The surface _normal N _{a2 of} the second tangent plane has a second angle β with the surface _normal N _{a1 of} the aforementioned tangent plane of the first surface 350 forms.

In addition, the profile includes 100 or the panel 250 a day, making a part of the tag 200 on the first surface 350 is arranged and another part of the tag 200 on the second surface 360 is arranged. This arrangement improves the readability of the tag from multiple directions. Preferably, the angle β may be at least 5 degrees; more preferably at least 10 degrees and more preferably at least 20 degrees.

It should also be noted that the second surface _normal N _a2 makes an angle of substantially 90 degrees with the surface normal of the first surface 110 can form, such as in 3a because the readability of above a structure already at the orientation of the first surface 350 has been taken into account.

3a shows an end view of an extruded profile. To improve the visual appearance and friction characteristics of the extruded profile, the first surface comprises 10 of the extruded profile 100 preferably a multiple of first groove 410 , In particular, the first grooves 410 increase the friction. The depth of the groove 410 on the first surface 110 can be between 1 mm and 2 mm. Thanks to the grooves 410 can the friction of the first surface 110 of the extruded profile 100 have good anti-slip properties, even if the first surface 110 is wet.

In addition to the first grooves 410 can be the limit of the first surface 110 , which with the first edge 120 coincides, a rounding 415 include. The rounding 415 can in, the groove 150 delimiting tongue on the first edge 150 includes his. The rounding 415 may have a depth DR, wherein the depth DR is the distance in the direction of the thickness of the profile 100 (please refer 1a ) between the plane of the first surface 100 and the outer edge of the first edge 120 is. The rounding 415 can also by the radius of curvature R _{R of} the rounding 415 be defined. In the embodiment of 3a the radius of curvature is equal to the depth, that is R _R = D _R. In one embodiment of the invention, the radius of curvature R _{2 is} the corner of the first surface 110 3 mm to 5 mm.

The second surface 112 can second grooves 420 include. The second grooves 420 become the second surface 112 added to prevent possible problems caused by drying shrinkage. Due to the second grooves 420 a blister effect can be prevented. The depth of the second grooves 420 is preferably between 0.2 mm and 3.0 mm or between 0.5 mm and 2.0 mm. The number of second grooves 420 on the second surface 112 is preferably smaller than the amount of holes 140 in the extruded profile 100 , For example, the extruded profile includes 100 from 3a three holes 140 and two second grooves 420 , The second grooves 320 on the second side are preferably at a location on the second surface 112 placed between two adjacent holes 140 in the direction of the width W of the profile 100 is (see 2 B ).

3b shows a view of the profile 100 from 3a , The profile 100 includes the NFC tag 200 , The NFC tag is in the groove 150 arranged. When the day 200 in the groove 150 is arranged, is the day 200 as such, not visible to a user when another profile or fastener is adjacent to the profile 100 is arranged. This is an advantage for selecting the groove 150 as the place of the day 200 as discussed above. However, since the tag is invisible, a user (such as an end-user or the operator) is aware of the existence and location of the NFC tag 200 unaware. Therefore, the extruded profile includes 100 a mark 450 , The marker is indicative of the existence of the near field communication (NFC) tag. The marker may be for the location of the Near Field Communication (NFC) tags are indicative. This is existence and optionally the location of the NFC tag 200 visible to a user.

In addition, the label is preferably 450 on the border of the first surface 100 which is the boundary of the first edge 120 includes which the groove 150 comprising, wherein the NFC tag 200 is arranged. In addition, the marker may be arranged so that the distance between the marker 450 and the chip 210 of the day 200 not more than 7 cm, not more than 5 cm or not more than 1 cm.

In one embodiment, the mark is made by melting a portion of the extruded profile, and a notch, hole, groove, or slot in the profile of an object. Thus, in one embodiment, the marker has the shape of a notch, a hole, a groove or a slot.

As discussed above, the profile may 100 the first groove 410 on the first surface 110 include. In such a case, the depth of the mark is preferably 450 at least the depth of the first grooves. Preferably, the depth of the mark 450 at least 1 mm.

Similarly, the mark 450 on the second surface 112 be arranged. On the second surface, the mark is preferably within a distance L _ME from one end of the profile 100 localized. The limits for this distance, as given above, also apply on the second page.

However, on the second side, the second grooves can 420 a smaller depth than the first grooves 410 on the first surface. Therefore, when located on the second surface, the label may have a smaller depth. In such a case, the depth of the mark is 450 preferably at least the depth of the second grooves. Preferably, the depth of the mark 450 at least 0.2 mm or at least 0.5 mm.

An extruded profile 100 is an example of a more general panel 250 , A panel 250 with one day 200 like a previously mentioned extruded profile 100 , can be used to retrieve information associated with the panel. The information may refer to different phases of the life cycle of the panel. For example, the information may refer to

• The tag of the panel, such as the extruded profile, for example its identity, or
• The panel (such as the extruded profile itself) so that the manufacturer of the panel, such as the extruded profile, the date and place of manufacture, the material of the panel, such as the extruded profile, tolerance of the panel, such as the extruded profile, against some stress (eg strength, heat resistance, water resistance, etc.), - recyclability and combustibility of the panel, such as the extruded profile, and?
• The location in the panel (such as the extruded profile), for example: - in a warehouse (of a manufacturer, transporter or seller), or - in the service (eg location of a table comprising the profile), or
• - a structure 180 that the panel 250 such as the extruded profile, for example - a location of a building that houses the panel 250 comprises, - a picture of a structure comprising the panel, such as a table or a terrace, - a computer network link web site where user experiences are shared with the structure, or - a computer network link to a social media web site, wherein an image a structure (building such as a terrace, the structure comprising the panel) and can be commented on by friends, or

The information may, additionally or alternatively, include a reference, such as a computer network address, in particular a world wide web address, to any or many of the information discussed above.

As discussed above, the NFC tag 200 Read-only memory, read-only memory and random access memory (write and / or read many times). For example, the identity of the NFC tag (ie the identity of the panel) may be stored in the read-only memory. Information that relates directly to the panel itself, such as the manufacturer or the material, may be stored in the write-once storage. Other information may be stored in the random access memory.

Referring to 5a can be an end user with one, an NFC tag 200 retrieve comprehensive information associated with a comprehensive panel. The end user can use a read / write device 300 ( 2g ), such as a mobile phone, a portable computer, or a specific NFC reader / writer.

• – Anfordern 510 der mit dem Paneel, wie etwa dem extrudierten Profil, assoziierten Information aus dem Paneel, und
• – Empfangen 525 der mit dem Paneel assoziierten Information.

A method of retrieving information associated with a profile, such as an extruded profile

• - Request 510 the information associated with the panel, such as the extruded profile, from the panel, and
• - receive 525 the information associated with the panel.

• – der Identität des NFC-Tag,
• – der Identität des Paneels (welche typischerweise dieselbe ist sie die Identität des Tag),
• – eine Referenz auf Information, zum Beispiel einer Adresse in einem Computernetzwerk, und
• – der mit dem Paneel assoziierten Information, wie etwa den Namen des Herstellers, umfassen.

Referring to 5a For example, the information may be determined using a reader or a reader / writer device. The information gets out of the panel 250 accessed, 510 , especially from the NFC tag 200 of the panel 250 , The NFC tag is receiving 515 the request. In response to the request sends 520 the NFC tag 200 of the panel 250 the information to the reader. The reading device receives 525 the information. The information thus received may be at least one of:

• - the identity of the NFC tag,
• The identity of the panel (which is typically the same as the identity of the tag),
• A reference to information, for example an address in a computer network, and
• - include the information associated with the panel, such as the name of the manufacturer.

For example, the information may include the identity of the NFC tag and an address to a database. Therefore, for example, the database can be located from a computer network using the address and the identity database can be accessed. Thus, information associated with the panel (or associated with the identity of the panel) can be retrieved. A database may be accessed, as discussed below, for example. The term "data structure" is used interchangeably with the term "database".

• – Ermitteln einer Identität des, das NFC-Tag verwendeten ? Paneels,
• – Zugreifen auf eine Schnittstelle mit der Identität,
• – Empfangen der mit dem Paneel assoziierten Information über die Schnittstelle.

Referring to 5b the information can be determined via an interface. In this embodiment, the information associated with an extruded profile is stored in a database. The database may be associated with the identity of the panel. The database can be stored in the NFC tag. However, in such a case, the identity is not necessary to access the database, and the method can be applied to the in 5a shown method can be reduced. However, the database may be an external database that is accessed, for example, via an interface such as a computer network. The database can be accessed with the identity of the panel, such as the extruded profile. A method for retrieving information associated with a panel profile comprising the NFC tag, such as an extruded profile comprising an NFC tag

• - Determining an identity of who used NFC tag? panel,
• - accessing an interface with the identity,
• Receiving the information associated with the panel via the interface.

• – Anfordern von Information, welche mit dem ersten extrudierten Profil (oder Paneel) assoziiert ist, aus dem ersten extrudierten Profil,
• – Zugreifen auf eine Schnittstelle mit der, mit dem ersten extrudierten Profil (oder Paneel) assoziierten Information, und
• – Empfangen von mit dem ersten extrudierten Profil (oder Paneel) assoziierter Information über die Schnittstelle.

However, as discussed above, the tag can provide the reader with information other than the identity directly. For example, a computer network address can be read from the tag. Thus, an embodiment includes

• Requesting information associated with the first extruded profile (or panel) from the first extruded profile,
• Accessing an interface with the information associated with the first extruded profile (or panel), and
• Receiving information associated with the first extruded profile (or panel) via the interface.

Referring to 5b For example, an identity (ID) of the panel can be queried using the reader 510 the ID from the panel 250 , in particular from the NFC tag of the panel, are determined. The NFC tag is receiving 515 the request. In response to the request sends 520 the NFC tag 200 of the panel 250 the identity of the NFC tag. The panel 250 can by the identity of the tag 200 be identified. The panel and the tag may therefore have the same identities. The reading device receives 525 the ID. For example, the phrase "determining identity of the panel using the NFC tag" refers to this sequence ( 510 . 515 . 520 and 525 ) of operations. However, in principle, the identity of the panel may also be determined by other means, for example it may be known. For example, if the identity of another panel is known, the identity of the panel may be subsequent to the other panel. In this way, the identity can be known even without reading the identity of the panel.

Using the identity, information can be requested via an interface 530 become. When information is requested using the ID, an identity interface is accessed. On the other side of the interface is receiving 525 a database the request. In response to this request sends 540 the database provides the information about the interface to the reader or reader / writer. The reader or the reader / writer receives 545 the requested information.

• – einer Computernetzwerk-Schnittstelle, wie etwa dem Internet oder einem Intranet,
• – einer Schnittstelle zu einer Computer-Speichervorrichtung, wie etwa einem internen Speicher eines Computers, oder
• – eine Schnittstelle auf eine Datenspeichervorrichtung, wie etwa einer Compactdisk (CD), Digitalvideodisk (DVD) oder einer Magnetvorrichtung wie etwa einer Festplatte.

In various embodiments, the interface may be one of

• A computer network interface, such as the Internet or an intranet,
• An interface to a computer storage device, such as an internal memory of a computer, or
• An interface to a data storage device, such as a compact disc (CD), digital video disc (DVD), or a magnetic device, such as a hard disk.

The information associated with the panel may include at least a portion of the information discussed above or a reference thereto.

• – Ermitteln von Information zum Ort 526 des Paneels,
• – Zugreifen 530b auf eine Schnittstelle mit der Identität und der Information über den Ort, und
• – Empfangen 545b der mit dem Paneel assoziierten Information und des Ortes über die Schnittstelle.

Referring to 5c , further comprises an embodiment

• - Determine information about the place 526 of the panel,
• - Access 530b on an interface with the identity and information about the place, and
• - receive 545b the information associated with the panel and the location via the interface.

In this embodiment, the retrieved information depends not only on the panel itself but also on its location. For example, the language in which information is presented may depend on location. In addition, the information itself may depend on the location from which it is retrieved. The location may be obtained from a user or from a location sensor, such as a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver.

An NFC tag 200 is a quick way to get the information. In addition, due to the small reading distance of the NFC tags 200 the place in which the day 200 is read, well-defined. For example, when reading a tag, it is known that the reader is located within a few centimeters of the tag. Furthermore, the structure that makes up the day 200 is read, well-defined. For example, both a floor and a table may include an NFC tag. However, due to the short reading distance only one of these tags will be read simultaneously.

Information that focuses on one, the panel 250 comprehensive structure 180 , and optionally on the location of the structure 180 can use the user benefits of the structure 180 or de Dienstbereitstellere, which the structure 180 used (such as a table, a shelf or a wall), improve. User benefit can be improved by granting access to information, improving evidence of the quality of the service provider's services or the quality of the panel.

• – umfasst die mit dem ersten extrudierten Profil (oder Paneel) assoziierte Information Information, die für eine Computernetzwerkadresse indikativ ist,
• – werden bei einer Anwenderschnittstelle einem Anwender zugeführte Daten empfangen, und
• – werden die einem Anwender zugeführten Daten an die Computernetzwerkadresse gesendet.

In addition, user benefit can be improved because of the social aspect of retrieving information or exchanging information. The reference, for example a computer network address, may refer to information as well as to a computer interface to which the end user or operator may provide information. In this way, different users can exchange information using the panels. In one embodiment

• The information associated with the first extruded profile (or panel) comprises information indicative of a computer network address,
• In a user interface, data supplied to a user is received, and
• The data supplied to a user are sent to the computer network address.

To determine such information, the information may be stored in the NFC tag (for reading the data as in 5a shown) or a database can be generated (to read the data, as in 5b or 5c shown). In the case where information is written directly into the NFC tag, a writing device or a reader / writer may be used.

Before a database can be accessed ( 5b or 5c ), is to create such a database. Inside the database is some information with a panel 250 associated. The information may, for example, match the identity of the NFC tag 200 of the panel 250 (or with the identity of the panel 250 ). The database includes information associated with at least one panel comprising an NFC tag in association with the identity of the panel 250 or in association with the identity of the tag 200 of the panel 250 ,

• – Ermitteln 610 einer Identität des Paneels 250,
• – Ermitteln 620 der Information, die mit dem Paneel 250 zu assoziieren ist, und
• – Zugreifen 630 auf eine Schnittstelle mit der Identität und der Information.

Referring to 6a , comprises a method for associating information with a panel 250

• - Determine 610 an identity of the panel 250 .
• - Determine 620 the information that comes with the panel 250 to associate with, and
• - Access 630 on an interface with the identity and the information.

The identity of the panel 250 can from the NFC tag 200 of the panel 250 be determined, for example as in 5a shown. However, the identity can be known differently. For example, a range of identities may be known to associate the same information for the range of identities. This may be the case, for example, when many panels are manufactured by the same manufacturer. Thus, a manufacturer may know the identities of the tags without reading them, or by visually inspecting an identity, and knowing the increment between successive tags. The information associated with all the panels may be, for example, a computer network address to the manufacturer's computer network address. Thus, the identity can be obtained from a user (as input), from a panel, or from a database.

The information can be stored in a database. The information may be added to an existing database or the information may be used to create a new database. In addition, previous Data to be deleted in association with the panel. In such a case, the information to be associated with the panel includes an indication that information associated with a panel is to be updated, as well as the other information used for updating. In addition, information can be deleted from the database without adding new information. In this case, the information to be associated with the panel includes an indication that information associated with a panel is to be removed from the database. The removal may technically refer to updating old information with new, blank information.

In particular, the information may include or consist of a reference to other information. For example, the information may be a computer network address to the other information. When accessing an interface, such as the interface discussed above, with the identity and information, at least a portion of the information is stored in a database in association with the identity 635 , The information associated with the identity forms data to be stored in a database (the term "data" in FIG 6a , Reference number 635 ).

• – Ermitteln von Information über einen Ort 625, und
• – Zugreifen auf eine Schnittstelle 630b mit der Identität, der Information und der Information über den Ort.

Referring to 6b further comprises an embodiment of the method for associating information with a panel

• - Determine information about a place 625 , and
• - access an interface 630b with the identity, the information and the information about the place.

In this way, the information stored in the database may, for example, be associated with a reference location. Different reference locations may, for example, point to different translations of a document. It should be noted, however, that the reference location to be entered in the database is not necessarily the location where the panel is located at the time of entering the data into a database. For example, the reference location may indicate a location in Japan, even if the panel is in Finland at the time of writing the database. But if a database is associated with the identity and location in Japan ( 5c ), a Japanese translation of a product specification could be obtained.

In addition to the information, which refers to the individual structure 180 or a single panel 250 can relate to a sentence 700 ( 7a ) of panels 250 associated information using a single panel 250 be retrieved. The sentence 700 For example, panels can stack up 700 of panels 250 or a set of stacks of panels 250 Respectively. The stack of panels may be tied together to form a storage unit or transport unit. The stack (s) 700 includes several panels 250 , The number of panels in a set of panels may be, for example, at least one, at least two, at least ten, at least twenty, at least thirty, at least fifty or one hundred. For example, in a typical warehouse, the number of panels in a stack is 330 , Most preferably, a set of panels comprises at least two panels.

• – eine Mehrzahl von Paneelen (z. B. zumindest 2, zumindest 5, zumindest 10, zumindest 50 oder zumindest 100 Paneele), wobei
• – der Satz zumindest ein Paar von Paneelen umfasst, die ein erstes Paneel und ein zweites Paneel aufweisen, so dass die Distanz zwischen dem ersten Paneel und dem zweiten Paneel höchstens 100 mm (d. h. 10 cm) ist, so dass höchstens 50 mm (d. h. 5 cm), höchstens 10 mm, höchstens 5 mm, höchstens 1 mm ist, oder das erste Paneel angeordnet ist, das zweite Paneel zu kontaktieren.

In addition, the panels are in a stack 250 localized close to each other. Typically, the distance between two adjacent panels is negligible because adjacent panels are in contact. In addition, the distance between the centers of the adjacent panels corresponds to the panel thickness, for example, at most 50 mm. Still further, some stacks may include spacers between two adjacent panels, whereby the distance between adjacent panels may be slightly larger. Thus, most preferably, includes a set of panels

• A plurality of panels (eg at least 2, at least 5, at least 10, at least 50 or at least 100 panels), wherein
• The kit comprises at least one pair of panels having a first panel and a second panel such that the distance between the first panel and the second panel is at most 100 mm (ie 10 cm) such that at most 50 mm (ie 5 cm), at most 10 mm, at most 5 mm, at most 1 mm, or the first panel is arranged to contact the second panel.

For example, a set of panels, that is, the stack, includes 700 from 7a , 32 panels, which as 250/1 . 250/2 , ..., and 250/32 be designated. Each of the panels 250 / n , where n ranges from 1 to 32, includes an NFC tag 200 / n , For the sake of clarity, only some of these references are in 7a shown. The numbering of 1 to 32 increases in the stack 700 on; first from top to bottom and second from right to left, as in 7a shown.

Typically, a stack includes many such previously mentioned closely localized pairs, such as the pairs ( 250/1 . 205/1 ) and ( 250/2 . 250/3 ), as in 7a shown. Since the distance is short, the pair of panels forms a single entity, such as a portion of the stack. Also, typically the stack is vertical. In a vertical stack, the distance between two panels (if any) is vertically aligned. However, typically those are Panels connected to each other, whereby the thickness of the panels is directly vertical.

A problem with NFC in relation to such large sets or stacks of panels is that in the sentence 700 not all NFC tags are readable. Due to the short reading distance, for example, in the sentence 700 from 7a only the NFC tag on the right-hand side, that is the tags 200/1 . 200/2 , ... and 200/8 and the tag above, that is the tags 200/1 . 200/9 . 200/17 and 200/25 be readable by an NFC reader. However, on the tags 200 the panels 250 which have tags located in the inner parts, e.g. B. 200/32 . 200/31 . 200/24 . 200/15 and 200/10 not be accessed with an NFC reader.

However, some of the panel related information also applies to all objects in the set 700 , Therefore, information associated with a set of panels can be stored or retrieved. The information can be stored in a database. The information can be accessed via an interface. The information can be accessed with an identity of a panel in the sentence 700 is included, or with the identity of the sentence 700 itself. The identity of the sentence can be equal to the identity of a first panel 250 be the sentence.

• – der Satz 700 von Paneelen 250 ein erstes Paneel 250 umfasst, und
• – das erste Paneel 250 ein Nahfeldkommunikations-(NFC)Tag 200 umfasst, wobei das Verfahren umfasst

• – Zugreifen 730 auf eine Schnittstelle mit der Identität, und
• – Empfangen 745 über die Schnittstelle, von Information über einen Satz von Paneelen.

7b shows an execution method for retrieving with a sentence 700 of panels 250 associated information, wherein

• - the sentence 700 of panels 250 a first panel 250 includes, and
• - the first panel 250 a near field communication (NFC) tag 200 comprising, the method comprises
• - Determine ( 710 . 715 . 720 . 725 ) an identity of the first panel 250/1 using the NFC tag 200 .
• - Access 730 on an interface with the identity, and
• - receive 745 about the interface, information about a set of panels.

Here is the sentence 700 of panels a sentence, the first panel 250 like the extruded profile 100 , includes.

• – Anfordern 710 der Identität aus dem Paneel 250, insbesondere aus dem NFC-Tag 200 des Paneels 250, und
• – Empfangen 725 der ID.

The process of identifying an identity includes

• - Request 710 the identity of the panel 250 , especially from the NFC tag 200 of the panel 250 , and
• - receive 725 the ID.

• – empfängt 715 das NFC-Tag des Paneels die Anfrage und, in Beantwortung der Anfrage
• – sendet 20 das NFC-Tag die Information an den Leser oder die Lese-/Schreibvorrichtung.

In response to the request 710 .

• - receives 715 the NFC tag of the panel the request and, in response to the request
• The NFC tag sends the information to the reader or reader / writer.

This process is also referred to 5a ,

It should be noted that the sentence 700 of panels 250 is a concrete sentence that includes concrete panels. However, for data processing, the phrase "set of panel IDs" (or set of panel identities) refers to an abstract sentence or data structure so that, using the sentence or data structure, one can determine if an ID is the "sentence owned by panel IDs "or not. Such a set of panel IDs corresponds to a concrete set of panels. A set of panel IDs corresponds to a set of panels provided that a set of panels includes a panel if and only if the corresponding set of panel IDs includes the ID of the panel.

An interface is accessed 730 by using the identity of a panel. A database is receiving 735 the identity. Localized in response 737 a database of the set of panel IDs comprising the identified identity of the panel; or localized 737 a database the set of panels comprising the panel having the identified identity. Then send 740 the database stores information about the interface associated with the set of panels or the set of panel IDs. The reading device receives 745 the information associated with the set of panels or panel IDs. Of course, information related to a set of panel IDs may be the same as the information relating to the corresponding set of panels. Here, the corresponding set of panels means the set of panels so that the set of panel IDs consists of all the identities of the panels of the corresponding set of panels. For example, if a set of panels is known to be manufactured on August 16, then exactly the same information may be associated with the corresponding set of panel IDs.

Referring to 7b in one embodiment, the information about (i) the identities of the panels 250 in the set of panels or (ii) the identities in the (corresponding) set of panel IDs stored in a first database. The information relating to the set of panels or panel IDs is collectively in the same database in the 7b saved. The information relating to the set of panels or panel IDs is stored in a second database in total 7b saved. The second database can be the same as the first database. The second database may be different from the first database. The information about a set of panels can provide information about the identities of the panels 250 in the set of panels and / or information relating to the sentences as a whole.

To retrieve the information about a set of panels or a set of panel IDs, a database must exist. Such a database can be created by associating information with a set of panel IDs (or panels). Commitment 700 includes at least one panel 250 ; wherein a set of panel IDs comprises at least one identity of a panel. With reference to 8a includes an embodiment of a method for associating information with a set of panels

• - Determine 805 of information about a sentence; such as a set of panels or a set of panel IDs,
• - Determine 810a . 825a a first identity of a first panel,
• - Access 830 on an interface with the first identity and the information.

The determination of a first identity of a first panel may be requested and received, such as in connection with 5a discussed.

Information about a sentence may include information about an action. Determining 805 Information about a sentence may include determining or defining an action. When the database is created, the action is a generate. When the database is updated, the action is an update. For example, when data is deleted, the action may be deletion (or updating, as discussed).

A user can determine or define the action. For example, a user may take the action of creating a database only when a first panel is on a stack 700 is stacked, determine; wherein a set of panel IDs is generated using the ID of the first panel. For the subsequent panels, the passivity of the user of the reading / writing apparatus can 300 signal that the set of panel IDs should be updated using the following identities.

• – eine Datenstruktur für einen Satz von Paneel-IDs (oder einen Satz von Paneelen) zu erzeugen,
• – eine Datenstruktur für einen Satz von Paneel-IDs (oder einen Satz von Paneelen) zu aktualisieren,
• – mit einem Satz von Paneel-IDs oder einem Satz von Paneelen (nicht gezeigt) assoziierte Daten zu löschen, oder
• – eine Fehlernachricht (nicht gezeigt) zu senden.

With reference to 8a receives 835 the database contains at least one identity of a panel and information, such as, or at least, the action. For example, the action may be indicative of creating a data structure or updating a data structure. The database may be arranged to specify indicative information for the action 836 .

• To create a data structure for a set of panel IDs (or a set of panels),
• To update a data structure for a set of panel IDs (or a set of panels),
• Delete data associated with a set of panel IDs or a set of panels (not shown), or
• To send an error message (not shown).

Thus, in addition to the options "Refresh" and "Generate" 8a Data can be deleted from the database. Deleting is a special case of updating, because when deleting old data is not replaced by any data. Sending an error message may occur, for example, if a database is unable to perform a requested action.

When the data structure is generated, power 838 the database has an identity for the set of panel IDs (or a set of panels). The identity of the sentence may be equal to the first identity of a panel in the set (of panels or panel IDs). Additional power 875 the database constructs a data structure using the sentence identity and the first identity of the first panel. In a case where it is possible to determine whether or not an identity of a panel belongs to the data structure, the data structure may represent a set of panel IDs. In the case where the identity of the panel is used as the sentence identity, the data structure may comprise only the identity of the panel and an indication that the panel is a sentence 700 of panels, or that the identity of the panel forms a set of panel identities.

The database may include information about at least one set of panel IDs; Preferably, the database includes information about multiple (eg, at least two) sets of panel IDs.

• – Empfangen, aus der Schnittstelle, einer Identität eines Satzes von Paneelen oder Paneel-Identitäten (IDs). Hier umfasst der Satz von Paneelen das Paneel, dessen Identität beim Zugriff 830 verwendet wird. Daher ist der Satz von Paneel-Identitäten der Satz von Identitäten, der dem Satz von Paneelen entspricht. Dadurch umfasst der Satz von Paneel-Identitäten die Identität, die beim Zugreifen 830 verwendet wird.

The database may send the set identity (set ID) and a reader / writer may receive it 845 , This will be an optional step 845 in 8a shown. In the case that the action is generating, the sentence identity may be received 845 be like in 8a displayed. The received sentence identity may be used in conjunction with an identity of the subsequent panel (s) or panel identity (s) to update the database, for example with the identities of subsequent panels. In the case where the sentence identity is received, the embodiment includes

• Receive, from the interface, an identity of a set of panels or panel identities (IDs). Here, the set of panels includes the panel whose identity is accessed 830 is used. Therefore, the set of panel identities is the set of identities corresponding to the set of panels. As a result, the set of panel identities includes the identity that is being accessed 830 is used.

Die Information kann weiter eine Indikation zum Erzeugen einer Datenstruktur umfassen.

With reference to 8a , alternatively to receive 845 sentence identity, a sentence identity may be determined by other means 828 become. For example, the panels can 250 on a pallet 702 be stacked. The pallet may be provided with an identity, such as a barcode. The identity of the palette forms information about the sentence 700 the panels or the set of panel IDs. This identity can be used to access the database. For example, the data structure may be generated using the identity of the palette and the identity of the first panel. Thereafter, the data structure may be updated using the identity of the pallet and the identity of the subsequent panel or panels. Alternatively, thereafter, the data structure may be updated using the identity of the first panel and the identity of the subsequent panel or panels. In this embodiment, the reader / writer detects 300 Information about the sentence, where the information is the identity of the sentence. This embodiment comprises

• - Determine 810a . 825a an identity of the panel,
• - Determine 828 of information to be associated with the panel, and
• - Accessing an interface with the identity and the information, wherein
• The information to be associated with the panel (i) from the set of panels comprising the panel whose identity was determined, or (ii) the identity of the set of panel IDs comprising the identified identity of the panel. The information may further include an indication to generate a data structure.

In this embodiment, the step of doing would be 838 the sentence ID simply comprises the use of the identity given by the user as the sentence ID. However, if such an identity was not available, the database would do so via the interface (not shown, or by sending another free set identity to the user, such as by "set ID" between the phases 838 and 845 shown) communicate.

In particular, the first identity may be the identity of the panel 250 (eg 250/32 ), which is placed first in the sentence. A data structure can be generated using this identity and the action to generate. A subsequent identity can be the identity of the panel 250 (eg 250/1 ), which is placed last in the sentence.

The data structure could be updated with the subsequent identity and the update action.

In this way it can be assumed that the set of panels 700 includes all panels that have their identities ranging from the first identity to the last identity. With regard to the set of panel IDs, it can be assumed that the set of panel IDs includes all panel identities ranging from the first identity to the last identity. This is particularly the case where panels are made in an assembly line, subsequently NFC tags are attached to successive panels and successive panels are placed in a stack (ie one set 700 ).

Alternatively, after the first identity, an interface may be accessed with the identities of all remaining panels in the set of panel IDs or for the set of panels. Either one after the other, successively, or in a single pass with all remaining identities. In this way, the identities need not be consecutive identities. In this case, the list of identities may be an ordered list or an unordered list.

An interface can be accessed with a first identity of a panel and some information about a set. The information about a sentence may include information about an action. The information about a sentence may further include additional information about the sentence. Depending on the information, various embodiments are possible. In addition, with reference to 8c the database is accessed with an identity of a sentence and other information, whereby the identity of a panel is not necessarily read. For example, the identity of the sentence can be read with a barcode reader. The database can be accessed with information that includes

• - an action: whether to create a data structure for a set of panels - or - to update.
• Information indicative of the set of panels, such as: - an identity of the panel set, or - an identity of a panel included in the set of panels, and
• - optional, other information.

With reference to 8b and the above discussion may include the information on the sentences comprising the panel identities (or the panels with the identities) in a first database (database 1). Thus, the first database may be used to associate a sentence identity with an identity of a panel. Herein, the "sentence" may be a set of panels or a set of entities, that is, the "sentence" may include the identities or the panel with the identity. The first database can be accessed via a first interface.

Focusing on the sentences 700 total related information and / or information about the identities of the panels 250 in the set of panels (or panel IDs), may be included in a second database (database 2). The second database can be accessed via a second interface. The first and second databases can be the same database or different databases.
