Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for automatic timing in mass sports events according to the preamble of claim 1 and a device for automatic timing in sports mass events according to the preamble of claim 11.
  • From the DE 39 29 048 A1 is an automatic timekeeper, especially for mass sporting events, known to be made with an individual performance measurement.
  • a code word is transmitted on a transmission frequency to a reader, which starts a timer in the reader and stops at the finish.
  • a manipulation should be excluded by the fact that both the transmission frequency and the codeword are evaluated.
  • the known automatic timekeeper assumes that the code word contained in the transponder can be evaluated without delay both at the start and at the destination. This is not the case in practice. Rather, there is a variable time delay between the finish and the correct evaluation of the codeword stored in the transponder. This time delay is due to the quality of data transmission and data collision with other transponders. Thus, poor quality of data transmission may require multiple transmission attempts until the transponder data is verified as readable. In case of data collision, caused by several transponders, which want to transmit their data simultaneously or time-overlapping, a collision resolution must first be carried out until the transponder data can be transmitted. The timing can therefore be inaccurate to the detriment of individual participants.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the accuracy of determining the finish time in a method and apparatus of the type mentioned.
  • the invention is based on detecting the event of the finish first individually by the individual transponder instead of by the reader and the reader later to transmit the elapsed time to read time or a time from which the expired time to read time can be removed.
  • the time delay between the detection time and the actual Zieleinlaufzeit can then vary as desired, because it can be corrected by the transponder time of the internal timer in the transponder when reading the transponder data accordingly. The cause of the time delay is irrelevant.
  • the internal time receiver of the transponder is activated without contact by an electromagnetic field generated at the target and / or at an intermediate position.
  • transponder data When using active transponders, ie those with their own energy source, the transmission of transponder data, ie the individual code and the transponder time, can also take place independently of the activation field or another external electromagnetic field. As a result, it is also possible to use transponders whose timers are not dependent on an energy supply from an external electromagnetic field for a continuous time measurement. Alternatively, then the transmission of transponder data can also be optically, acoustically capacitive or inductive. Active transponders allow a faster transmission of transponder data and thus a faster determination of the finish time, especially with a large number of participants.
  • the internal timekeeper can be activated, in particular in the case of passive transponders, by the same electromagnetic field which also serves for reading, or in particular in the case of passive transponders, activated by a separate activation field.
  • the transmission time can be so long that it must be taken into account as a correction quantity.
  • temporal overlaps of the transmissions of the transponder are likely to occur just in case of timely arrival of several participants, so that the transmission must be repeated one or more times.
  • fast-moving subscribers moreover, there is the risk that they have left the target area again before complete data transmission and thus the transmitted data is unusable.
  • the transponder For fast-moving participants and / or a large number of subscribers, it may therefore be expedient to transmit the data from the transponder to the reader in the HF, VHF or UHF range.
  • the frequency range used for reading may then deviate from that used to activate the internal timer of the transponder.
  • the long-wave range or low-frequency range is expediently used, since better reproducible field gradients can be achieved here, which enable a spatially unambiguous activation of the transponder's internal timer at a target line.
  • a continuous real time or a continuous relative time or an externally transmitted discrete time can be detected.
  • the real-time measurement requires its own energy source, but has the advantage that systematic gear inaccuracies of different transponders can be compensated later.
  • the relative time recording can also be used with transponders without internal energy source. In this case, however, the transponder must be powered by an electromagnetic field between the time of activation of the internal timer and the time until complete transmission of its data to the reader.
  • Transponders without their own energy source are also suitable for detecting an externally transmitted discrete time, since the timekeeper does not have to continue running or continue counting.
  • a memory is suitable, which only needs to be supplied with power during storage, but then retains the memory contents without power supply.
  • intermediate times can be recorded and stored in a memory which optionally supplemented with an identifier of an intermediate position and further optionally with a data coding.
  • split times can be taken by multiple activations of the internal timer, without having to read the transponder along a route between start and finish.
  • the split times can then only be evaluated after the finish line and the reading of the individual code and the transponder time.
  • the identifier can be used to distinguish between several intermediate positions.
  • An additional data coding increases the data security. All these measures increase security against manipulation, z. B. by entrained handheld transmitter, which should not simulate the intermediate positions not passed.
  • the individual code of the transponder and the transponder time in case of data collision with other transponders are read after carrying out a separation process.
  • the reading device actively intervenes in the transmission and transmission behavior of the transponder and performs a singulation process.
  • the start of a later verified as error-free data transmission from the transponder to the reader or, alternatively, the end of a verified as error-free data transmission from the transponder to the reader less the transmission time can be evaluated as a detection time.
  • This measure compensates for a delay time which results from the time for the data transmission itself, which would otherwise influence the result, especially with a low transmission rate and / or long data words.
  • FIG. 1 Figure 11 shows an illustration of a target area 10 with current locations of transponders 12 carried by participants and entering the target area at an individual speed.
  • an electromagnetic reading and activating field 14 is generated by a reader 18 by means of a large-area antenna 24, one of whose limits represents a target line 16.
  • Transponder 12 which have exceeded the target line 16, enter the electromagnetic reading and activating field 14, in which their transponder data are read by means of the reader 18 gradually. The reading takes place when several transponders 12 enter the electromagnetic reading and activating field 14 not simultaneously, but after collision resolution.
  • an internal timer of the transponder 12 is activated, which individually determines the time between the crossing of the target line 16 and the time of acquisition of the transponder data as the transponder time.
  • a transponder 12 passive transponder can be used; which draw their energy from the read and activate field 14.
  • a narrow activation field 15 is generated by the antenna 24.
  • the target line 16 runs here longitudinally in the middle of the activation field 15.
  • the data transmission takes place on a different frequency range than that of the activation field 15.
  • the reader 18 has a UHF receiver with an antenna 25 and the transponder 12 via UHF transmitter with antennas 37.
  • the transponder 12 here need their own energy sources.
  • Fig. 3 shows a block diagram of a reader 18 and a transponder 12.
  • the reader 18 includes a transmitter 20, a receiver 22 and a common antenna 24 for data communication with a transponder 12 and a timer 26, a control and evaluation circuit 28 and a memory 30.
  • the antenna 24 may also be assigned exclusively to the transmitter 20 and the receiver 22 is a separate antenna 25th
  • the transponder 12 comprises a transmitter 32 and a receiver 34 with a common antenna 36 and a control circuit 38, a memory 40, an internal timer 42 and an activation circuit 44. If it is an active transponder, the power supply of its components by a Battery 46, otherwise by energy transfer from the reader 18.
  • the antenna 36 may be assigned exclusively to the receiver 34 and the transmitter 32 is a separate antenna 37th
  • transceivers on both sides instead of the receiver 22 and the transmitter 32. It can then be the already identified transponder after transmission of their transponder data be switched off so that they no longer contribute to the collision.
  • the individual codes of the transponders 12 of the participants can first be read at the start and stored in the memory 30 of the reader, so that a check of the transponder 12 used in conjunction with an individual assignment of the determined times is possible later.
  • the timer 26 of the reader 18 is started.
  • the transponder data received by the receiver 22 of the reader 18, which includes both the individual code and the current transponder time of the timer 42, which has elapsed since passing the target line 16, are now transmitted to the evaluation circuit 28.
  • the evaluation circuit determines by subtracting the transponder time from the acquisition time, which is polled by the timer 26, the actual, now error-free finish time. This finish time is linked to the individual code and then stored in memory 30.
  • an acknowledgment signal can be received via the receiver 34 of the transponder, which stops the timer 42 via the control circuit 38. By stopping the internal timer 42, it is possible to retrieve the transponder time for checking again later or to reset it if necessary.
