Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a protocol and a system for detection of the presence of individuals or objects, provided with tickets electronics intended for a detection application implementing this protocol, in a delimited space presenting at least one entry.
  • a protocol and a system for detection of the presence of individuals or objects provided with tickets electronics intended for a detection application implementing this protocol, in a delimited space presenting at least one entry.
  • tickets electronics intended for a detection application implementing this protocol, in a delimited space presenting at least one entry.
  • Through input we also include an input-output or an output.
  • the present invention relates to the detection of people or objects inside a means of transport, in particular a train, a metro or bus, so as to charge holders of electronic tickets using these means of transport or ensuring that their journey has been paid for.
  • a first problem for such detection arises from the fact that the individuals enter certain public places or means of transportation high number at relatively high speed.
  • a second problem stems from the fact that the space defined in particular by a means of transport can difficult to define an enclosed space inside which a field electromagnetic propagates, without this field also propagating partly outside of this delimited space. This is particularly true when the door or doors of the means of transport are open.
  • a low frequency field in particular of the order of 125 KHz or 13 MHz can be confined in a relatively small area, especially oval, but the flow of information or instructions that can be transmitted at this frequency is relatively low.
  • a relatively high frequency in particular of the order of 200 MHz or more greatly increases this flow of information or instructions.
  • a system operating with high communication frequency consumes relatively a lot of energy, especially for Electronic tickets in listening mode.
  • a monitoring of the entry and exit of individuals or objects with tickets appropriate electronics presents a significant difficulty for individuals or objects approaching this entrance and staying close to it.
  • people may provided with such electronic tickets simply come to accompany a other person or even that they temporarily climb in this means of transport to bring luggage from another person.
  • the present invention proposes to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a protocol for detecting the presence of individuals or objects and a system arranged for its implementation where it is planned to carry out minus a distance measurement between each electronic ticket entering a defined monitored space and means for measuring this at least one distance.
  • a protocol for detecting the presence of individuals or objects and a system arranged for its implementation where it is planned to carry out minus a distance measurement between each electronic ticket entering a defined monitored space and means for measuring this at least one distance.
  • the awakening during step A is carried out at a frequency relatively low, for example 125 KHz.
  • the entry area is defined by a first electromagnetic field issued by at least one first transmitter, this entry area being the region where the amplitude of this first electromagnetic field received by tickets awakened is equal to or greater than a predefined minimum value.
  • the wake-up of tickets is also carried out by said at least first transmitter.
  • the location of electronic tickets by means of measurement intervening in stage C is carried out for example by a device of distance measurement formed by several modules spatially arranged at various places in said defined space.
  • One single unit of measure may be sufficient in some cases.
  • three non-receiver modules aligned allow good localization and reduce the extent of the area input to ensure an exact determination of the presence of tickets in the demarcated space.
  • the electronic tickets awake do not communicate with the measuring equipment as long as these tickets are located in the entrance area and the entrance is open. Others variants are also being considered.
  • the detection protocol according to the invention is preferably completed after the closure of the entrance (s) to said space delimited by a stage in which it is planned to measure one or more distance (s) between each electronic ticket that is present in said entry area at inside said delimited space and means for measuring this or these distance (s).
  • the entry area is defined by an electromagnetic field
  • the emission of this field is stopped so that the electronic tickets present in the part of said entrance area located inside the delimited space does not receive more field.
  • FIG. 1 is shown a wagon 10 of a means of transport with four main entrances 2, 3, 4 and 5 and two entrances secondary 7 and 8 allowing passage in adjacent wagons.
  • the wagon 10 defines a delimited space in which it is possible to enter and exit through the main and secondary entrances.
  • Each entry main 2 to 5 is equipped with means of detecting individuals 12 equipped with electronic tickets 14 intended for the presence detection application of these individuals in wagon 10 or more generally in the means of transport to which this wagon is assigned.
  • Secondary inputs 6 and 7 can also be equipped with such detection means or other additional means.
  • detection of the movement of individuals through secondary doors 6 and 7 is not critical for the control of passengers on a certain journey with the means of transport concerned when this means of transport is considered in its together and is monitored in particular by a centralized system allowing find out if a person who got into a certain car comes out later by an entry from another wagon.
  • the flow of people entering or leaving wagon 10 can be relatively high.
  • any ticket electronic 14 suitable and worn by a user 12 is awakened, if such is not already the case, when approaching entrance 5 so that this ticket switches from listening mode to active mode.
  • This awakening step allows you to minimize the energy required for electronic ticket 14 which is generally an autonomous portable object.
  • This ticket 14 is equipped with means to determine, once awake, if he is in a entrance zone 20 located at least for the most part in the immediate vicinity of entry 5. Entry area 20 is defined by a field electromagnetic emitted by a transmitter 22. More precisely, the area input 20 is the region where the amplitude of this electromagnetic field received by awakened tickets 14 is equal to or greater than a minimum value predefined.
  • the method of determination of the presence of a ticket 14 in the entry area 20 consists by measuring this amplitude of the electromagnetic field emitted by the transmitter 22 to determine whether or not it is less than said value minimum.
  • the transmitter 22 transmits successive signals in zone 20. The awakened tickets receiving these signals with sufficient amplitude for their reading are considered in this area 20.
  • the predefined minimum value corresponds to the amplitude minimum sufficient for such signals to be received by tickets.
  • the transmitter 22 transmits at a relatively low frequency, for example 125 KHz or around 13.5 MHz.
  • the wake-up function for tickets 14 is performed using the transmitter 22.
  • the ticket 14 functions as a transponder which responds to an interrogation signal from the reader 22.
  • reader 22 receives a response from ticket 14
  • the latter is considered present in entry area 20.
  • This last variant is distinguishes from the two others mentioned above in that the information relating to the presence in zone 20 of ticket 14 is in reader 22.
  • This reader is connected to a central electronic unit 30 which then uses this information for the implementation of the detection protocol according to the invention, in particular to validate or not a distance measurement described below.
  • localization means are provided by measuring at least one distance.
  • a device measurement with three receiver modules 32, 33 and 34 located spatially at various locations in space 16, respectively 18. Preferably, these three modules are not aligned.
  • a measurement unit in particular above the entry and the shield at least on its outer side, i.e.
  • the localization is carried out by distance measurements between the ticket 14 and the receiver module (s), the measuring device being arranged to determine a response time of the ticket that returns an echo signal upon receipt of at least one signal sent by this measuring device.
  • the distance measurement consists of a measurement by each measurement module of the amplitude of a signal provided by this ticket, either directly or in response to a signal of excitement.
  • Each entrance area 20 covers an entrance to the delimited space.
  • the width of this entry area 20 is provided so that it is substantially equal to or greater than the inaccuracy in measuring distances to determine if ticket 14 is located inside the entry-exit area 16 or 18 and / or to allow communication during the passage of electronic tickets in this area. This allows to consider as inside, when the doors are open, only the tickets 14 which are actually inside wagon 10. As long as the doors are open, the tickets present in the entry area (s) 20 are not counted as being inside wagon 10. So even with a relatively large uncertainty or error in distance measurements, tickets registered as having entered the wagon 10 space are effectively and safely.
  • the tickets 14 present in a zone 20 do not not communicate with the measurement means as long as they are located in this area and that the corresponding entry is open.
  • the information allowing to know if the ticket is in zone 20 during a distance measurement can be done either by sending an information signal by the ticket itself to a receiver or reader provided in the system according to the present invention, either by a reader and in particular the reader 22 in the case where this determination is made at the level of such a reader as mentioned previously as part of a variant.
  • communication takes place either at high frequency, or at low frequency with reader 22 when the tickets are in entrance area 20.
  • This communication is used in particular to identification of tickets.
  • the detection system arranged in wagon 10, in particular the central unit 30, can then draw up a list of all the tickets entering a given area 20. From this moment, the system knows that a distance measurement must be made for all these tickets when get inside wagon 10 more or, if necessary, when stand out through an entrance. After closing the doors, the balance of tickets is preferably also detected by a measurement making it possible to define if they are located inside wagon 10. However, when it is a means of transport and that it sets in motion, the candidates remaining on the list should normally be located inside wagon 10 since those who were outside this wagon and yet in an entry zone 20 generally leaves it when the means of transport sets in motion.
  • the listening mode is provided for relatively low frequency, which does not allow to wake up a ticket to using a relatively high frequency transmitter.
  • one or more other transmitters and / or receivers 44 transmitting at relatively high frequency are arranged in the space delimited by wagon 10 so as to cover by the electromagnetic field emitted at relatively high frequency the whole of this space delimited for communication with all tickets present inside this space.
  • the scope of the HF field can generally extend out of range wagon 10.
  • the system knows thanks to the invention the list of tickets present inside so that a valid communication will only be established that with these tickets.
  • the protocol according to the invention is advantageously completed by a stage in which it is planned to locate the tickets remaining in the entry areas 20 by the distance measurements 32 to 34.
  • the situation with the closed entries differs from that with open entries in that normally at least the people outside the wagon deviate from these entries. So even if the distance measurement has a significant inaccuracy, only people present in the area entry 20 inside the space of wagon 10 will be detected. In in other words, a maximum distance below which a ticket is seen inside the wagon can be increased when the doors are all the more so when it is a means of transport that is sets in motion. So, taking into account possible measurement errors, a measurement result corresponding to a point somewhat outside from wagon 10 will be considered to be inside this wagon. So a electronic ticket is considered inside said delimited space if the measurement result is located in a given range or area of values.
  • the measurement after closing the doors is preferably carried out immediately after stopping the presence determination process tickets in an entry area described above.
  • the tickets 14 present in the entry area are then instructed to communicate with the measuring means.
  • Other variants can be envisaged by those skilled in the art.
  • the various transmitters or readers are advantageously connected to the central unit 30 for centralized management of various information.
  • a unit for supervising all the wagons can advantageously be provided, especially when the passages of a wagon to the other are not equipped with detection means for example according to the present invention.
