Abstract

A communications unit (CU) (4) fits in a casing (2) so as to make available wireless information and communications services for mobile and static users. The CU acts as a module in a module casing (5) with suitable fastening devices (6,7) in the form of a retrofit kit and links to an available power connection or an independent current supply.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Parkschein- oder Tankautomat gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The present invention relates to a parking ticket or Tank machine according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Automaten sind in großer Menge nahezu flächendeckend in Städten, Dörfern und auf dem Land verteilt. Sie sind üblicherweise mit einem wetterfesten Gehäuse versehen und einem externen bzw. internen unabhängigen Stromanschluss bzw. einer Stromversorgung versehen.Such machines are in large quantities almost nationwide distributed in cities, villages and in the countryside. They are usually provided with a weatherproof housing and a external or internal independent power connection or one Provided power.

Ein Trend in der Kommunikationstechnik geht in die Richtung drahtloser Verbindungen, mit denen man einen Zugang zu Informationsdiensten aller Art, wie z.B. zum Internet, ermöglichen will. Das Problem derartiger Zugänge besteht jedoch in aller Regel in der begrenzten Reichweite, die häufig noch dadurch beschränkt wird, dass die nötigen Einrichtungen in Gebäuden installiert werden müssen, die durch Abschirmeffekte die Reichweite noch mehr vermindern.A trend in communication technology is going in the right direction wireless connections that provide access to information services of all kinds, such as to the Internet want. However, the problem of such access is in all Usually in the limited range, often still by it is limited, that the necessary facilities in buildings must be installed, which by shielding effects the Reduce range even more.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Parkschein- oder Tankautomaten, der im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 angegebenene Art zu schaffen, der den Zugang zu Informationsdiensten aller Art, wie z.B. zum Internet, für mobile oder stationäre Einheiten auf einfache und zuverlässige Art und Weise möglich macht.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a parking ticket or fuel terminal, in the preamble of the claim 1 specified type of access to information services of all kinds, such as to the internet, for mobile or stationary units in a simple and reliable way and Way possible.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1.The solution of this problem is achieved by the features of the claim 1.

Dadurch, dass handelsübliche Parkschein- oder Tankautomaten, unter denen im Rahmen dieser Anmeldung auch handelsübliche Zapfsäulen verstanden werden, mit einer geeigneten Kommunikationseinheit, vorzugsweise in Form einer drahtlosen Kommunikationseinheit, versehen werden können, kann durch die zumindestens in gewissen Gebieten nahezu flächendeckende Anordnung derartiger Automaten die prinzipbedingte geringe Reichweite der Kommunikationseinheiten ausgeglichen werden, da eben eine große Anzahl derartiger Automaten zur Ausrüstung mit einer Kommunikationseinheit zur Verfügung steht.As a result of the fact that standard parking ticket or automatic filling machines, among those commercially available within the scope of this application Petrol pumps are understood, with a suitable communication unit, preferably in the form of a wireless communication unit, can be provided by the at least in some areas almost nationwide arrangement Such machines the inherent short range the communication units are compensated because just one large number of such machines to equip with a Communication unit is available.

Somit ist es möglich, dass der entsprechend der Erfindung ausgerüstete Automat mittels der Kommunikationseinheit über verschiedene technische Standards einen Zugang zu Informationsdiensten aller Art für mobile oder stationäre Einheiten zur Verfügung stellen kann.Thus, it is possible that the equipped according to the invention Automat by means of the communication unit via various technical standards provide access to information services of all kinds for mobile or stationary units Can provide.

Die Unteransprüche haben vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung zum Inhalt.The subclaims have advantageous developments of the invention Go to content.

Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform einer Kommunikationseinheit stellt ein so genannter WLAN-Modul dar. Unter "WLAN" (wireless local area network) versteht man ein drahtloses lokales Netzwerk, das, vorzugsweise in einem Modul eingebaut, die gemäß Anspruch 1 definierte Kommunikationseinheit zur drahtlosen (Funk-)Verbindung mit Informationsdiensten aller Art, wie insbesondere dem Internet, darstellen kann.A particularly preferred embodiment of a communication unit represents a so-called WLAN module dar "Wireless" (wireless local area network) refers to a wireless local area network which, preferably installed in a module, the defined according to claim 1 communication unit for wireless (radio) connection with information services of all Type, in particular the Internet.

Da die ohnehin vorgesehenen Parkschein- und/oder Tankautomaten mit einem wetterfesten Gehäuse versehen sind, dessen Innenraum ausreichend groß ist, um ohne weitere bauliche Veränderungen den jeweiligen Kommunikationsmodul aufzunehmen, ergibt sich eine äußerst kostengünstige und einfach zu installierende Konstruktion. Diese ist überdies nicht mit den Abschirmungsproblemen behaftet, wie sie häufig mit dem Einbau von Kommunikationsmodulen in Gebäude einhergehen. As the anyway provided parking ticket and / or fuel terminals provided with a weatherproof housing whose interior is sufficiently large, without further structural changes to record the respective communication module arises a very inexpensive and easy to install design. This is also not with the shielding problems Afflicted, as often with the installation of communication modules go into building.

Nachfolgend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention will be described below explained in detail the drawing.

Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt ein schematisch stark vereinfachtes Blockdiagramm eines erfindungsgemäßen Automaten in Form eines Parkscheinautomaten.The sole figure of the drawing shows a schematic strong simplified block diagram of a machine according to the invention in the form of a parking ticket machine.

Der in der Figur dargestellte Parkscheinautomat 1 weist ein Gehäuse 2 auf, das mit einem Stromanschluss 3 oder einer internen unabhängigen Stromquelle versehen sein kann.The parking ticket machine 1 shown in the figure has Housing 2 on that with a power connector 3 or an internal independent power source can be provided.

Um einen Zugang zu Informationsdiensten, wie insbesondere dem Internet, möglich zu machen, ist im Gehäuse 2 ein Kommunikationsmodul 4 angeordnet, der beispielsweise als WLAN-Modul ausgebildet sein kann.To provide access to information services, in particular the Internet to make possible, in the housing 2 is a communication module 4 arranged, for example, designed as a WLAN module can be.

Dieses Modul 4 kann sowohl werkseitig im Automaten integriert oder als Nachrüstsatz für den späteren Einbau ausgebildet sein.This module 4 can be factory-integrated in the machine or designed as a retrofit kit for later installation be.

Das Modul 4 weist im Beispielsfall ein Gehäuse 5 auf, das mit geeigneten Anschlüssen für die nötigen Verbindungen zur internen oder externen Stromquelle oder sonstigen Zusatzeinrichtungen versehen sein kann.The module 4 has in the example a housing 5, which with suitable connections for the necessary connections to the internal or external power source or other ancillary equipment can be provided.

Ferner weist das Gehäuse 5 vereinfacht dargestellte Befestigungseinrichtungen 6 und 7 auf, mit denen das Modul 4 im Gehäuse 2 des Automaten 1 fixiert werden kann.Furthermore, the housing 5 has simplified fastening devices 6 and 7, with which the module 4 in the housing 2 of the machine 1 can be fixed.

Mithin kann der Automat an sich in üblicher Art und Weise ohne weitere bauliche Veränderungen ausgebildet sein.Thus, the machine itself can in the usual way without be formed further structural changes.
