Titel:Title:

Tragbare GPS-Antenne zur Verwendung an einer RS232 Schnittstelle ohne zusätzliche Stromversorgung.Portable GPS antenna for use on an RS232 interface without additional power supply.

Stand der Technik mit Fundstellen:State of the art with sources:

Problem: GPS-Antennen ähnlicher Bauart enthalten nur das eigentliche Empfangsmedium (GPS-Patch) (Fig. 1) (1) und den GPS-Empfänger (2). (Produktspezifikation GPS35 des Herstellers Garmin). Problem: GPS antennas of a similar design only contain the actual reception medium (GPS patch) (Fig. 1) (1) and the GPS receiver (2). (Product specification GPS35 from the manufacturer Garmin).

Aufgrund des Energiebedarfs von ca. 50OmW ist eine externe Stromversorgung (3) zur Funktion des GPS-Empfängers notwendig.Due to the energy requirement of approximately 50OmW, an external power supply (3) is necessary for the GPS receiver to function.

Insofern.Positionsdaten mittels GPS-Empf anger auf handelsüblichen PC's, Laptops, Organizern dargestellt werden sollen, wird der eigentliche Effekt der mobilen Standorterfassung dadurch zunichte gemacht, daß immer eine zusätzliche Stromversorgung für den GPS-Receiver vorhanden sein muß (z.B. Zigarettenanzünder im Fahrzeug).If position data is to be displayed using GPS receivers on commercially available PCs, laptops, or organizers, the actual effect of mobile location detection is negated by the fact that an additional power supply for the GPS receiver must always be available (e.g. cigarette lighter in the vehicle).

• ··

Lösung:Solution:

Dieses Problem wird mit den im Schutzanspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.This problem is solved with the features listed in claim 1.

Erreichte Vorteile: Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht, daß die mobile Positionserfassung mittels Laptop unabhängig von einer gesonderten Stromversorgung wirklich mobil wird. Achieved advantages: The invention ensures that mobile position detection using a laptop becomes truly mobile, independent of a separate power supply.

Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispieles. Fig. 2 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung mit Organzier PSION Serie 5. Description of an embodiment. Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the invention with Organzier PSION Series 5.

Die GPS-Antenne (1) ist über ein Kabel (2) mit dem Organizer (3) verbunden.The GPS antenna (1) is connected to the organizer (3) via a cable (2).

An den Leitungen DTR und RTS (Fig. 3) (1) der RS232-Schnittstelle (2) steht eine Schnittstellenspannung von +6V...+15V zur Verfügung. Ein Controller (3) analysiert die Belastbarkeit der beiden Leitungen (1) und stellte die maximale Stromentnahme so ein, daß der spezifizierte Pegel von +5V nicht unterschritten wird.An interface voltage of +6V...+15V is available on the DTR and RTS lines (Fig. 3) (1) of the RS232 interface (2). A controller (3) analyzes the load capacity of the two lines (1) and sets the maximum current consumption so that the specified level of +5V is not undercut.

Die aus der Schnittstelle entnommene Energie lädt einen Akku (4) auf, der diese zum Betrieb der GPS-Antenne (5) zwischen speichert. Unter Berücksichtigung der Energieentnahme aus der Schnittstelle (2) und einem Verlustfaktor durch den begrenzten Wirkungsgrad berechnet der Controller (3) die Zeit und die Höhe der zur Verfügung stehenden Energie und stellt den GPS-Receiver (6) auf den erforderlichen Schlaf-/Wachrythmus ein.The energy taken from the interface charges a battery (4), which temporarily stores it to operate the GPS antenna (5). Taking into account the energy taken from the interface (2) and a loss factor due to the limited efficiency, the controller (3) calculates the time and amount of energy available and sets the GPS receiver (6) to the required sleep/wake rhythm.

Somit wird die Position bei einer stärker belastbaren Schnittstelle z.B. alle 5 Sekunden aktualisiert, wenn weniger Energieentnahme möglich ist, wird die Position z.B. nur alle 30 Sekunden aktualisiert.Thus, with a more resilient interface, the position is updated every 5 seconds, for example. If less energy extraction is possible, the position is only updated every 30 seconds, for example.

Claims (1)

1. Tragbare GPS-Antenne zum Anschluß an eine RS232 Schnittstelle ohne zusätzliche Stromversorgung, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die GPS-Antenne in der Lage ist, GPS- Signale über eine RS232 Schnittstelle auszugeben ohne die Antenne mit einer externen Stromversorgung versehen zu müssen. Die Energiegewinnung erfolgt aus den Schnittstellenpegeln, indem der erforderliche Energiebedarf der GPS- Antenne reduziert und in der Antenne zwischengespeichert wird. 1. Portable GPS antenna for connection to an RS232 interface without additional power supply, characterized in that the GPS antenna is able to output GPS signals via an RS232 interface without having to provide the antenna with an external power supply. The energy is generated from the interface levels by reducing the required energy requirement of the GPS antenna and temporarily storing it in the antenna.
