Abstract

The bar-code identification unit (1) is formed on the surface of such as a video cassette and has the pattern formed by bars of conducting material, such as graphite (2) with spaces in between. The coding sections are also separated by contact zones (4) that connect with the terminals of an integrated circuit chip (6) that is a memory eg EEPROM. The memory stores programme or recorded information relating to the cassette. When inserted in the reader contact brushes read the bar code to identify the cassette type and at the same time reads the memory data. This is processed and passed to an on screen display. USE/ADVANTAGE - Combines bar=code with information in chip memory.

Gemäß der Erfindung nach Anspruch 1 sind einzelne Bars oder Zwischenräume zwischen den Bars elektrisch leitend ausge­ führt. Dieses ermöglicht neben der optischen Abtastung des Barcodes auch die elektrische kontaktbehaftete Abtastung des Barcodes. Weitere sehr vorteilhafte Weiterentwicklungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.According to the invention according to claim 1, individual bars or Spaces between the bars made electrically conductive leads. In addition to the optical scanning of the Barcodes also scan the electrical contact Barcodes. Further very advantageous further developments of the Invention are described in the subclaims.

Ein besonderer Vorteil ist es, wenn ein elektrisch leitender Bar mit einem Kontakt oder Anschluß einer integrierten Schal­ tung verbunden ist und wenn insbesondere die Schaltung ein Speicher ist. Durch eine derartige Anordnung wird der Infor­ mationsvorrat der Strich- oder Barcode-Einheit nicht nur er­ heblich vergrößert, sondern die gleichen wie auf dem Barcode enthaltenen Informationen und/oder zusätzlich andere Informationen können äußerst platzsparend in der Barcodeein­ heit unterbracht werden. Als Speicher bietet sich insbesonde­ re ein EEPROM (Electrical Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) an. Zweckmäßigerweise können einzelne benachbarte Bars miteinander elektrisch verbunden werden, so daß sie eine Gruppe bilden. Dieses kann beispielsweise durch eine elektrisch leitende Kontaktschicht unterhalb den Bars hergestellt werden. Somit wird der Zugriff auf die Kontakte erleichtert.It is a particular advantage if an electrically conductive Bar with a contact or connecting an integrated scarf device is connected and if in particular the circuit Memory is. With such an arrangement, the Infor bar or barcode unit not only he significantly enlarged, but the same as on the barcode contained information and / or additional Information can be extremely space-saving in the barcode be accommodated. In particular, it can be used as storage re an EEPROM (Electrical Erasable Programmable Read Only  Memory). Conveniently, individual neighboring ones Bars are electrically connected to each other so that they are one Form a group. This can be done, for example, by a electrically conductive contact layer below the bars getting produced. Thus, the access to the contacts facilitated.

Die Erfindung läßt sich in hervorragender Weise bei Aufzeich­ nungsträgern z. B. Videokassetten anwenden. Es ist bekannt, eine Barcodeeinheit auf eine Videokassette aufzubringen, wo­ bei der Barcode Informationen über den Aufzeichnungsträger, dessen Inhalt oder Steuerungsinformationen für einen Videore­ corder enthält. Mittels eines Barcodelesers im Videokasset­ tenrecorder werden die codierten Informationen des Barcodes abgetastet, einer Auswerteeinheit zugeführt und ausgewertet sowie am Videorecorder selbst oder mittels einer On-Screen- Displays (OSD)-Schaltung an einem Fernsehgerät dargestellt.The invention can be excellently recorded nung carriers z. B. Apply video tapes. It is known, to apply a barcode unit to a video cassette where with barcode information about the record carrier, its content or control information for a video contains corder. Using a barcode reader in the video cassette tenrecorder are the coded information of the barcode scanned, fed to an evaluation unit and evaluated as well as on the video recorder itself or by means of an on-screen Displays (OSD) circuit shown on a television.

Mittels der Erfindung können jetzt nicht nur die Informatio­ nen auf dem Barcode, sondern auch oder alternativ dazu die Informationen die in einer mit den Bars verbundenen elektrischen Schaltung bzw. Speicher auf einfache Weise ausgelesen wer­ den, ohne den Speicher oder die Schaltung an einer anderen Stelle als der Strich- oder Barcode-Einheit unterzubringen.By means of the invention, not only the information on the barcode, but also or alternatively the Information in an electrical connected to the bars Circuit or memory read out easily the one without the memory or the circuit on another Place as the bar or barcode unit.

Die doppelte platzsparende Eigenschaft der Bars ist von be­ sonderem Vorteil insbesondere dann, wenn sehr wenig Platz zur Verfügung steht.The double space-saving property of the bars is from be special advantage especially when there is very little space for Available.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines zeichnerisch dar­ gestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. In der Zeichnung stellen darThe invention is illustrated below with reference to a drawing presented embodiment explained in more detail. In the Drawing represent

Fig. 1 eine erfindungsgemäße Strich- oder Barcode-Einheit und Fig. 1 a bar or barcode unit according to the invention and

Fig. 2 ein erfindungsgemäßer Videorecorder. Fig. 2 shows a video recorder according to the invention.

Fig. 1 zeigt in der Mitte eine bekannten Strich- oder Bar­ code-Einheit 1, welche sich aus mehreren Codeelementen - den sogenannten Bars 2 - aufbaut. Fig. 1 shows in the middle a known bar or bar code unit 1 , which is made up of several code elements - the so-called bars 2 .

Weiterhin zeigt Fig. 1 in der unteren Hälfte einen durch die Blattebene verlaufenden Schnitt durch die Barcodeeinheit 1, deren Bars 2 aus Graphit oder Metall elektrisch leitend aus­ geführt und auf einem Träger 3 angeordnet sind. Der Träger 3 weist elektrisch leitende Kontaktzonen 4 auf, die durch Iso­ lationszonen 3 voneinander getrennt sind. Durch die Kontakt­ zonen 4 werden bestimmte benachbart liegende Bars 2 elek­ trisch miteinander verbunden und die einer Kontaktzone zuge­ ordneten Bars bilden eine Gruppe. Die eine Gruppe bildenden Bars sind jeweils mit Kontakten eines Chips 6 verbunden, der als EEPROM-Speicher ausgeführt ist. Die Dicke der Barcodeein­ heit mit dem Träger und dem Chips kann in der Ausführung we­ niger als 1 mm, beispielsweise 0,5 mm, betragen. Daher kann die erfindungsgemäße Strich- oder Barcode-Einheit auf Produk­ ten aller Art angeordnet werden.Furthermore, FIG. 1 shows in the lower half a section through the sheet plane through the barcode unit 1 , the bars 2 of which are made of graphite or metal in an electrically conductive manner and are arranged on a carrier 3 . The carrier 3 has electrically conductive contact zones 4 , which are separated by isolation zones 3 from each other. Through the contact zones 4 , certain adjacent bars 2 are electrically connected to one another and the bars assigned to a contact zone form a group. The bars forming a group are each connected to contacts of a chip 6 which is designed as an EEPROM memory. The thickness of the barcode unit with the carrier and the chip can be less than 1 mm, for example 0.5 mm, in the embodiment. The bar or barcode unit according to the invention can therefore be arranged on products of all kinds.

In Fig. 2 ist die erfindungsgemäße Strich- oder Barcode-Ein­ heit 1 auf einer Videokassette 8 angeordnet. Der in Fig. 2 dargestellte Videorecorder VCR weist einen Barcode-Leser 9 und die in Fig. 1 dargestellten Kontaktbürsten auf (in Fig. 2 nicht dargestellt). Die vom Barcode-Leser 9 abgetasteten Si­ gnale des Barcodes wie auch die durch die Kontaktbürsten 10 Signale vom Chip 6 ausgelesenen gespeicherten Informationen werden im Videorecorder einem Mikrocomputer 11 zugeführt, der mit einem Timer-Mikrocomputer 12, einem System-Kontroll-Mikrocomputer 13 und einem SRAM-Speicher 14 über Busleitungen in Verbindung steht. Ein Ausgang des Mikrocomputers 11 ist mit einer On-Screen-Display-Schaltung (OSD) 15 verbunden, die die Informationen des Barcodes und/oder im Speicherchip gespeicherte Speicherinformationen verarbeitet und für eine Bildschimrdarstellung in einem Fernsehgerät TV aufarbeitet. In Fig. 2, the bar or barcode unit 1 according to the invention is arranged on a video cassette 8 . The video recorder VCR shown in FIG. 2 has a barcode reader 9 and the contact brushes shown in FIG. 1 (not shown in FIG. 2). The scanned by the barcode reader 9 signals of the barcode, as well as the stored information read out by the contact brushes 10 signals from the chip 6, are fed in the video recorder to a microcomputer 11 which has a timer microcomputer 12 , a system control microcomputer 13 and one SRAM memory 14 is connected via bus lines. An output of the microcomputer 11 is connected to an on-screen display circuit (OSD) 15 , which processes the information of the bar code and / or storage information stored in the memory chip and processes it for display on a television set TV.

Beim Einzug der Videokassette 8 in den Videorecorder VCR wird die Barcode-Einheit 1 am Barcodeleser 9 im Videorecorder VCR vorbeigeführt und gelesen. Nach Anlage der Videokassette im Videorecorder können die in Fig. 1 dargestellten Kontaktbürsten 10 auf dem Barcode aufgebracht werden, so daß eine Kontaktierung zum Chip hergestellt und ein Auslesen der im Speicherchip gespeicherten Informationen möglich ist. Es ist natürlich von Vorteil, wenn der Barcodeleser 9 und die Kontaktbürsten 10 eine bauliche Einheit bilden.When the video cassette 8 is moved into the VCR VCR, the barcode unit 1 is guided past the barcode reader 9 in the VCR VCR and read. After the video cassette has been placed in the video recorder, the contact brushes 10 shown in FIG. 1 can be applied to the bar code, so that contact is made with the chip and the information stored in the memory chip can be read out. It is of course advantageous if the barcode reader 9 and the contact brushes 10 form a structural unit.

Weist der Videorecorder nur den Barcode-Leser 9 oder nur die Kontaktbürsten 10 auf, so ist in jedem Fall ein Auslesen der kassettentypischen Informationen oder des Inhaltsverzeichnisses der Kassette über den Leser 9 oder die Bürsten 10 möglich.The VCR has only the barcode reader 9 or only the contact brushes 10, so in any case, a reading of the cassettes typical information or the contents of the cartridge via the reader 9 or the brush 10 is possible.
