Abstract

The operational lists normally used in the homing pigeon sport are commercially available as form blocks or as endless sheets which must be filled out manually by means of a document-related writing implement for the competitors actually used. This is cumbersome and subject to errors. The operating device for the electronic statement is therefore designed at the same time to carry out, via an adapted keyboard (supported by menu guidance of the display) desired betting inputs for the participants intended to be used in the competition, which inputs, in the case of preprogrammed owner names, only consist in the electronic reading out of the pigeon identification number and in the selection of the desired betting system; these predetermined data being automatically supplemented by the electronically detected arrival time when the participant arrives. A meaningful operational list can then be generated via a sorting program and printed out immediately. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zeitnahmeeinrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a timing device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine solche Zeitnahmeeinrichtung ist aus der EP 0 544 277 A2 der Anmelderin bekannt. Dort wird vorgeschlagen, jeden Wettbewerbteilnehmer dauerhaft mit einem ihn individualisierenden Kennungsträger auszustatten, dessen Registernummer im Ziel mittels einer Lese- bzw. Auswerteeinheit durch eine binär kodierte Folge von Bedämpfungen der Hochfrequenz-Abfrageenergie ausgelesen und zusammen mit dem Dekodierungszeitpunkt in einem Speicher abgespeichert und mittels eine Anzeigeeinheit angezeigt wird. Da der mit der Registernummer verknüpfte Ankunftszeitpunkt als absolute Zeitinformation über eine Funkuhr gewonnen wird, sind Manipulationen quasi ausgeschlossen.Such a timing device is known from the applicant's EP 0 544 277 A2. It is proposed there to permanently equip each competitor with an identification medium that individualizes them, the register number of which is read out at the destination by means of a reading or evaluation unit by means of a binary-coded sequence of attenuations of the high-frequency query energy and is stored together with the decoding time in a memory and by means of a display unit is shown. Since the time of arrival linked to the register number is obtained as absolute time information via a radio clock, manipulations are virtually impossible.

Die bei solchen sportlichen Wettbewerben, insbes. Brieftaubenpreisflügen, zur Anwendung gelangenden Einsatzlisten werden bislang jedoch üblicherweise manuell ausgefüllt und ausgewertet, was einen nicht zu vernachlässigenden Aufwand darstellt. Die handelsüblichen Einsatzlisten sind bspw. als Formulare gedruckt in Blöcken gebunden oder sie kommen als Endlospapier in den Handel. Die Formulare werden mit einem dokumentenechten Schreibgerät ausgefüllt, um Manipulationen zu verhindern.However, the operational lists used in such sporting competitions, in particular carrier pigeon price flights, have so far usually been filled out and evaluated manually, which represents a not insignificant effort. The commercially available lists of operations are bound, for example, as forms printed in blocks, or they come on the market as continuous paper. The forms are filled in with a document-friendly writing instrument to prevent manipulation.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Zeitnahmeeinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, mit welcher die oben erwähnten Mangel eliminiert werden.The invention has for its object to provide a timing device of the type mentioned, with which the above-mentioned shortcomings are eliminated.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Zeitnahmeeinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Kennzeichenteiles des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Mit Hilfe der an die Auswerteeinheit der Zeitnahmeeinrichtung angeschlossenen Dateneingabeeinrichtung ist es einfach möglich, alle Daten, die in einer Einsatzliste eingetragen werden können, automatisch einzutragen. Ein manuelles Ausfüllen der Einsatzlisten, bei dem Fehler kaum auszuschließen sind, kann erfindungsgemäß also in vorteilhafter Weise entfallen. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Menuesteuerung ergibt sich eine einfache Bedienerführung und somit eine ausgezeichnete Bedienungsfreundlichkeit.This object is achieved according to the invention in a timing device of the type mentioned at the outset by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. With the help of the data entry device connected to the evaluation unit of the timing device, it is easily possible to automatically enter all the data that can be entered in an insert list. Manually filling out the application lists, in which errors can hardly be ruled out, can therefore advantageously be omitted according to the invention. The menu control according to the invention results in simple operator guidance and thus excellent ease of use.

Zu den in die Einsatzliste einzutragenden Daten gehören bspw. Angaben zur Person des Brieftaubenzüchters, die Identifikationsnummern der einzelnen Brieftauben, die Verbandsringnummern, die Registrier- d.h. Ankunftszeiten der Brieftauben, die Wett- und Benanntendaten der einzelnen Brieftauben bzw. die Wett- und Benanntendaten in der Summe, d.h. eine Übersicht über alle Wett- und Benanntendaten, sowie die Anzahl der gespielten Brieftauben.The data to be entered in the application list include, for example, information about the person of the carrier pigeon breeder, the identification numbers of the individual carrier pigeons, the association ring numbers, the registration and arrival times of the carrier pigeons, the betting and name data of the individual carrier pigeons and the betting and name data in the Total, ie an overview of all betting and name data, as well as the number of racing pigeons played.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Zeitnahmeeinrichtung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines in der Zeichnung schematisch in einer Blockdarstellung verdeutlichten Ausführungsbeispieles derselben. Die Zeichnungsfigur zeigt schematisch die Zeitnahmeeinrichtung 10 für sportliche Wettbewerbe, insbes. für Brieftaubenpreisflüge, mit einer Antenneneinrichtung 12 zum berührungslosen Auslesen eines individualisierenden Kennungsträgers 14, bzw. dessen binärkodierter Registernummer, die gemeinsam mit dem Dekodierungszeitpunkt in einem Speicher 16 einer Lese- bzw. Auswerteeinheit 18 abgespeichert wird. Mit der Auswerteeinheit 18 ist eine Dateneingabeeinrichtung 20 mit einer Anzeigeeinheit 22 sowie ein Drucker 24 verbunden.Further details, features and advantages of the timing device according to the invention result from the following description of an exemplary embodiment of the same which is illustrated schematically in the drawing in a block diagram. The drawing shows schematically the timing device 10 for sporting competitions, in particular for carrier pigeon price flights, with an antenna device 12 for contactless reading of an individualizing identifier 14, or its binary-coded register number, which together with the decoding time in a memory 16 of a reading or evaluation unit 18 is saved. A data input device 20 with a display unit 22 and a printer 24 are connected to the evaluation unit 18.

Zum Eintragen der in eine Einsatzliste 26 einzutragenden Daten in den Speicher 16 der Auswerteeinheit 18 weist diese eine Menuesteuerung 28 auf, mit deren Hilfe eine einfache Bedienerführung der Dateneingabeeinrichtung 20 gewährleistet wird. Die in der Auswerteeinheit 18 geeignet ausgewerteten Daten, d.h. die Auswertung einander zugeordneter Teilnehmer- und Zeitinformationen wird dann wunschgemäß mit Hilfe des Druckers 24 auf der Einsatzliste 26 ausgedruckt. Bei der Dateneingabeeinrichtung 20 handelt es sich üblicherweise um eine PC-Tastatur und bei der Anzeigeeinheit 22 um einen handelsüblichen Monitor.In order to enter the data to be entered in an insert list 26 into the memory 16 of the evaluation unit 18, the latter has a menu control 28, with the aid of which simple operator guidance of the data input device 20 is ensured. The data suitably evaluated in the evaluation unit 18, ie the evaluation of mutually assigned subscriber and time information, is then printed out on the insert list 26 with the aid of the printer 24, as desired. The data input device 20 is usually a PC keyboard and the display unit 22 is a commercially available monitor.

Die im Brieftaubensport üblicherweise Anwendung findenden Einsatzlisten sind als Formularblöcke oder als Endlospapier im Handel, die mittels eines dokumentenechten Schreibgerätes von Hand für die konkret eingesetzten Wettkampfteilnehmer ausgefüllt werden müssen. Das ist umständlich und fehleranfällig. Deshalb ist das Bediengerät für die elektronische Konstatierung zugleich dafür ausgelegt, über eine angepaßte Tastatur (unterstützt durch eine Menue-Führung im Display) für die zum Einsatz in den Wettbewerb vorgesehenen Teilnehmer zugleich die gewünschten Wetteingaben zu machen, die bei fest vorprogrammiertem Züchter-Namen nur in der elektronischen Auslesung der Tauben-Identnummer und in der Auswahl des gewünschten Wettsystems bestehen; wobei diese vorgegebenen Daten bei der Ankunft des Teilnehmers automatisch um die elektronisch erfaßte Ankunftszeit ergänzt werden. Über ein Sortierprogramm kann dann eine sinnvolle Einsatzliste erstellt und unmittelbar ausgedruckt werden.The application lists usually used in racing pigeons are in the form of form blocks or as continuous paper in the trade, which have to be filled in by hand using a document-correct writing instrument for the competition participants actually used. This is cumbersome and prone to errors. For this reason, the control unit for electronic confirmation is also designed to use the adapted keyboard (supported by a menu guide in the display) to make the desired bet entries for the participants intended for use in the competition, which is only possible with pre-programmed breeder names consist of the electronic reading of the pigeon identification number and the selection of the desired betting system; these predetermined data are automatically supplemented by the electronically recorded arrival time upon arrival of the subscriber. A sensible application list can then be created using a sorting program and printed out immediately.
