In einer zweiten Variante verfügt der Passagier über ein Abonnement mit dem Betreiber seines Heimmobilfunknetzes 6. Die IMSI-Nummer und die MSISDN-Nummer sind dann im Identifizierungsmodul 40 im Endgerät 4 abgelegt und werden den Datenverabeitungsmitteln 2 zugestellt, sobald der Passagier seinen Sitz eingenommen hat. Das Kommunikationssystem im Vehikel 35 benimmt sich in dieser Variante wie ein besuchtes Netz (VPLMN-Visited Public Land Mobile Network) mit einem Roaminsgabkommen mit dem Betreiber des Mobilfunknetzes 6, und betreibt eine Besucherdatei (VLR - Visitor Location Register), in welcher die IMSI des Passagiers kopiert wird. Das mit den Datenverarbeitungsmitteln 2 verbundene Mobilfunkteil kann sich anhand des bekannten Roamingsverfahrens mit dieser IMSI-Nummer in das Mobilfunknetz 6 einloggen, so dass Anrufe dem Passagier automatisch weitergeleitet werden. In dieser Variante kann der Mobilfunknetzbetreiber die entstandenen Telekommunikationskosten direkt dem Benutzer des Endgeräts 4 belasten. Die vom Mobilfunknetzbetreiber hergestellten Verrechnungsbelege, beispielsweise CDR (Call Details Records), können beispielsweise in den Datenverarbeitungsmitteln 2 in ein geeignetes Format umgesetzt werden, damit sie über den Datenbus 3 geleitet werden können und beispielsweise einem elektronischen Geldkonto im Identifizierungsmodul 4 automatisch belastet oder monatlich verrechnet werden.In a second variant, the passenger has a subscription with the operator of his home
Das erfindungsgemässe System kann auch eingesetzt werden, wenn die Reiseberechtigung nicht beim Ein- und Aussteigen geprüft wird; sondern innerhalb des Vehikels. Zu diesem Zweck kann beispielsweise ein sogenanntes Polling-Verfahren verwendet werden. In diesem Fall rufen die zentralen Datenverarbeitungsmittel in regelmässigen Zeitabständen alle Passagiere im Vehikel ab. Jedes Endgerät 4, das diesen Ruf empfängt, antwortet durch eine Meldung, in welcher vorzugsweise die Identifizierungsdaten enthalten sind. Auf diese Weise bekommen die zentralen Datenverarbeitungsmittel regelmässig eine Liste aller Endgeräte im Vehikel.The inventive system can also be used if the travel authorization is not checked when entering and exiting; but within the vehicle. For this purpose, for example, a so-called polling method can be used. In this case, the central data processing means call all at regular intervals Passengers in the vehicle. Each
Das erfindungsgemässe System kann aber auch eingesetzt werden, wenn die Fahrkarten durch einen Kontrolleur 9 (
Elektronische Verschlüsselungs- und Signierungsmittel werden vorzugsweise vorgesehen, um die über die benannte kontaktlose Schnittstelle übertragenen Daten zu verschlüsseln und um diese Daten elektronisch zu signieren. Zu diesem Zweck werden vorzugsweise TTP-Mechanismen (Trusted Third Party) eingesetzt. Das Identifizierungsmodul im Endgerät enthält vorzugsweise einen privaten und einen öffentlichen Schlüssel, damit eine End-to-End Verschlüsselung bis zu den Datenverarbeitungsmitteln 2 und vorzugsweise weiter bis zu externen Vorrichtungen 1, 7, 8 gewährleistet werden kann.Electronic encryption and signing means are preferably provided to encrypt the data transmitted via the named contactless interface and to electronically sign that data. For this purpose, TTP (Trusted Third Party) mechanisms are preferably used. The identification module in the terminal preferably contains a private and a public Key, so that an end-to-end encryption to the data processing means 2 and preferably further to external devices 1, 7, 8 can be ensured.
