Definitions
- the invention relates to an emergency terminal with a light-emitting display.
- a disadvantage of the Nottasterterminal described is that the present at Nottasterterminal display module mediates the alarm state in an alarm only by a color change or flash lamps.
- the arranged on the inside of the building in the region of a door building output device of DE 199 43 041 A1 has an elongated housing, in which a plurality of control, sensor and display devices is integrated, including a so-called gradientwegleitvorraum with an optical route display.
- a shadow for light shadow is known, which has under a cover layer of a light-emitting layer. This layer makes it possible to illuminate the switch in its initial position and / or with decorative elements.
- the object of the invention is thus to provide a Nottasterterminal, which facilitates the escape in case of danger.
- the object is achieved by the emergency terminal called in the independent claim.
- Preferred developments are specified in the dependent claims.
- a display figure is an external shape of a body or, preferably, an area indicated by the light-emitting display in the activated state.
- a trend-setting display figure is furthermore to be understood as meaning any type of display figure whose outer shape indicates an orientation or by means of its shape reflects or indicates a direction or has a directional shape.
- a trend-setting display figure thus has a preferred direction.
- directional display figures are used, which are formed mirror-symmetrically along their direction. These can be, for example, isosceles triangles, bar-shaped or strip-shaped figures, diamonds, etc.
- the emergency master terminal also has a control unit which controls the activation and inactivation or the operation of all the light-emitting elements belonging to the display.
- the display can thus be switched on, for example, so that the light-emitting display emits light at least to display a trend-setting display figure, and be switched off, wherein in the switched-off state the light-emitting display emits no light for displaying a trend-setting figure.
- the invention further provides that the display has at least two individual display elements, wherein at least one of the at least two individual display elements indicates a trend-setting display figure.
- a subdivision of the display into a plurality of independent subunits or individual display elements increases the display possibilities of the emergency master terminal according to the invention.
- the at least one trend-setting display figure is thus extended by at least one further light-emitting individual display element which, in the activated state, does not indicate any figure associated with the first individual display element. This can be, for example, in addition to the trend-setting display figure operating and status displays or other individual displays.
- the control of the individual display elements is carried out by the control unit.
- the at least two individual display elements are also mutually activated by the control unit.
- the mutual activation prevents the simultaneous display of contradictory display figures.
- the at least one individual display element which indicates a trend-setting display figure, is expediently activated by the control unit in an emergency situation.
- the trend-setting display figure of the at least one individual display element is attached, for example, in the manner of Nottasterterminal that the orientation of the trend-pointing display figure coincides with the direction of escape. Escape direction is preferably the direction in which the escape route from Nottasterterminal runs.
- the trend-setting display figure thus indicates the course of escape routes or escape routes.
- the control unit activates an at least second individual display element, which preferably displays a display figure that signals the normal state.
- This can be, for example, the reference to a locked escape door.
- the emergency master terminal preferably has display figures with a disabling function. These are, for example, circles, rings, crossed bars, etc.
- the at least one individual display element of the display is composed of more than one light-emitting means, wherein the light-emitting means of the at least one individual display element are particularly preferably driven in groups at least in groups by the control unit.
- the display variety of the respective individual display element and ultimately the entire display can be increased.
- bulbs are to be understood as meaning in particular the light-emitting objects of the emergency button. These are, for example, light bulbs, preferably luminescent diodes (LEDs).
- bulbs include, in particular, also light-conducting structures such as, for example, light-conducting plastic components, glass fibers or light tubes, which pass on light of an upstream active light-generating device such as an LED or a light bulb and emit it at least in some areas.
- an activation of the latter lamps by the control unit thus takes place indirectly via an activation of the relevant light-generating device by the control unit.
- the control unit preferably activates the individual light sources of an individual display element jointly or in groups.
- the display figures displayed by the individual display elements are thus formed by the totality of the lighting means of a respective individual display element, which are activated jointly by the control unit.
- the more than one light source of a single display element are arranged linearly relative to one another.
- a linear arrangement of the lighting means in particular, a displayed direction is easier to recognize.
- the longitudinal extension of the linear arrangement preferably runs parallel to the designated direction or especially to the direction of escape. It is thus advantageous that, in the presence of at least two individual display elements, at least one of the at least two individual display elements indicates a bar-shaped display figure.
- a bar-shaped figure indicates a direction particularly well.
- a bar-shaped display figure is to be understood as a bar-shaped or strip-shaped figure, preferably in the form of a rectangle.
- the display indicates a trend-setting pattern.
- trend-setting patterns By displaying trend-setting patterns, a direction indication can be displayed more clearly and comprehensibly.
- a pattern in this context is the entirety of the shape or shape displayed by a combined activation of at least two display figures. Most preferably, the entire pattern is in one direction. Patterns with directional properties are characterized, for example, in that they have a longitudinal orientation in their entirety or that they change continuously in one direction uniformly or periodically. Directional patterns are thus, for example, rows of light multiple rows, preferably light band double rows, patterns of rhombic and triangular individual figures, etc.
- the pattern of similar display figures is considerably superior to more complex patterns composed of various display figures.
- the structure of the pattern of similar display figures in particular also in terms of manufacturing costs of advantage.
- the pattern is preferably constructed from individual elements which in themselves already have trend-setting properties.
- the display alternately displays two patterns, the patterns differing in shape or color.
- different operating states of the emergency master terminal can be displayed better.
- very particularly preferred is the combination of two different patterns, each with different colors, so that the pattern not only have a shape different shape, but in addition emit different colored light among themselves.
- This particular embodiment makes possible the combined display of different operating states of the emergency terminal, such as, on the one hand, a "hazard-free" normal state and a "dangerous" emergency situation with an unmistakable and clear escape route indication.
- This particular embodiment of the invention is particularly useful for a person who has operated the emergency terminal according to the invention, since the person concerned immediately receives a further indication regarding the escape options. This applies in particular to persons with color vision deficiency, since they are also informed of an escape route, irrespective of the respectively displayed color, due to the display figure or pattern with directional properties displayed by the emergency button terminal.
- the color of the emitted light of the patterns thus preferably correlates with the purpose of the patterns and the operating state of the emergency master terminal. Detecting the operating state displayed by the display by a person is even easier here.
- This particular embodiment combines with the position indication of the emergency master terminal and the direction indication by the directional characteristics of the pattern additionally a color coding for the operating state of the emergency master terminal.
- a color coding for the operating state of the emergency master terminal.
- the invention is not limited to such a color combination, but can be varied here as desired.
- the functionality of the emergency call terminal can be additionally increased by the display having a running light function.
- a running light function is an individual display element of at least two adjacent bulbs to understand, the at least two bulbs are activated or run through successively.
- the display preferably has at least three bulbs arranged linearly relative to one another, the at least three bulbs being activated one after the other.
- one of the at least three lighting means is activated and inactivated again in the moment in which the next and preferably adjacent lighting means is activated.
- the at least three adjacent bulbs are preferably passed through in series and successively. It has been found to be particularly advantageous if the running direction of the running light of the individual display element aligns with the spatial direction of escape.
- Nottasterterminal which has a plurality of individual display elements with running light function, since the running light function is then clearly visible. It is particularly preferred if the running light function of an individual display element is controlled synchronously with the running light display of at least one further individual display element.
- the individual luminous means of the at least one individual display element with running light function are designed to be similar.
- the display with running light functions is designed in two parts, wherein each part has at least one individual display element with a group of lighting means, which are each passed through successively.
- at least one lamp of a single display element is thus activated in each case.
- the functionality of a display with a running light function can be further increased in addition, if the at least two individual display elements in the form of a light band double row are arranged on the housing, wherein each light band is constructed from at least two light sources.
- each band of light is passed through by a respective running light, wherein the two chases in the running direction are preferably rectified and parallel to each other.
- control unit is further designed such that the individual light sources of the emergency master terminal can be dimmed, wherein dimming in this context means both a continuous increase and a stepless reduction in the light intensity.
- dimming in this context means both a continuous increase and a stepless reduction in the light intensity.
- the dimming can each extend to the entire individual display element, but also individual light sources of a single display element.
- the chase function can be combined with the dimming function.
- Another preferred embodiment of the emergency master terminal according to the invention has a display with a countdown function.
- time-dependent processes such as an opening interval or the opening time of an escape door or even long-term and short-term releases of the escape door, can be displayed.
- a display with countdown function allows the visual and time-dependent signaling of the release time or the remaining opening time of the door, etc.
- individual display elements are used, which are constructed of at least two, but preferably five to ten similar and linearly arranged lighting means used.
- all lamps of at least one individual display element are activated and inactivated one after the other in a time-dependent manner.
- inactivation is started with a luminous means of the at least one individual display element which has only one further luminous means in its vicinity or which is located at the edge of the individual display element, so that the linearly arranged luminous means of the at least one luminous means are inactivated one after the other.
- Such a countdown function is also particularly suitable for displaying unlocking delays.
- the display of Nottasterterminals has further partial displays that display individually or in combination patterns that are assigned to individual operating and maintenance conditions of Nottasterterminals.
- Such partial displays are controlled by the control unit independently of the already mentioned individual display elements.
- the further partial displays can serve, for example, for displaying patterns which indicate programming steps, error messages, etc., or alternatively point out the user to maintenance work.
- the partial displays are preferably made smaller than the individual display elements and emit a different light color than one of the light colors emitted by the individual display elements present.
- the emergency master terminal to display operating states combined with at least part of the existing partial displays and with at least a part of the existing individual display elements.
- the display has a color display.
- a particularly large variety of display figures and display colors can be obtained.
- color displays have the advantage that the displayed figures or colors can be changed by programming steps. In this way, the display figures and colors can be varied without the need for reconfiguration of the emergency terminal.
- the display has at least partially self-luminous elements.
- self-luminous elements among other things, the power consumption of Nottasterterminals can be reduced. This is particularly advantageous in emergency situations in which the continuous power supply of the emergency terminal is no longer guaranteed.
- the display time of Nottasterterminals can be extended.
- the self-luminous elements are very particularly preferably electro-luminescent films. Electro-luminescent films are characterized by their extremely small thickness, so that the display in this case requires very little space at the emergency terminal. In this way, thus very flat and space-saving Nottasterterminals can be obtained.
- the emergency master terminal 1 has a housing 2, on the upper side of which an emergency button 3 is arranged.
- the emergency button 3 is surrounded by a display 4, which is composed of four bar-shaped individual display elements 5a, 5b, 6a and 6b and four partial displays 7.
- the housing 2 also has a control unit and means for supplying energy inside (not shown).
- the bar-shaped Einzelan Seaeelementprese 5a / 5b and 6a / 6b are each arranged parallel to each other and orthogonal to each other individual display element pair 5a / 5b and 6a / 6b, so that the individual display elements 5a / 5b / 6a / 6b lie in their entirety on the lines of a square ,
- the four individual display elements 5a / 5b / 6a / 6b are similar in their geometric dimensions.
- the four circular partial displays 7 are arranged on the corner points of the square or in the intersections of the respective longitudinal axes of the individual display elements 5a / 5a / 6a / 6b.
- All light-emitting objects 5a / 5b / 6a / 6b / 7 are activated or deactivated by the control unit.
- the control unit regulates the respective operating state of all the light-emitting objects 5a / 5b / 6a / 6b / 7 in such a way that patterns are displayed in each case.
- the displayed patterns are designed so that the displayed pattern already indicates the operating status of the emergency button terminal.
- the FIGS. 1a to 1d each show a pattern.
- the emergency terminal 3 is suitably mounted at eye level with the (non-visible) side of the housing on a wall opposite to the side of the housing 3, on which the emergency button 3 is located.
- the single display element pair 5a / 5b extends parallel to two outer edges of the housing or horizontally to the viewer and the single display element pair 6a / 6b parallel to the other two outer edges of the housing or vertically to the viewer.
- each black-colored individual display elements represent the corresponding individual display element in the activated state or in the state in which the individual display element emits light.
- Fig. 1 a applies to the individual display elements 5a and 5b. Accordingly, the non-black colored individual display elements are present in the inactivated state. This is true in Fig. 1 a to the individual display elements 6a and 6b and to the partial displays 7.
- the individual display elements 5a / 5b / 6a / 6b / 7 emit light of different wavelengths and colors, with the single-element pairs 5a / 5b and 6a / 6b and the sub-displays 7 emitting similar light to each other, respectively.
- the single element pair 5a / 5b emits red light
- the single element pair 6a / 6b emits green light
- the partial displays emit yellow light.
- Fig. 1a shows the emergency button terminal 1 in a state in which an escape door (not shown) operatively connected to the emergency button terminal 1 is not locked. That is, a passage of the door is not possible without the triggering of an alarm condition.
- the two arranged above and below the emergency button 3 bar-shaped individual display elements 5a and 5b are activated and emit red light. Both the shape and the color of the individual display elements 5a and 5b is thus derived causally from the operating state of the escape door.
- the color red indicates, in analogy to a street lamp, that the escape door should not be committed.
- the pattern indicated by the activated individual display elements 5a and 5b of parallel stripe-shaped display figures, which are horizontal for the viewer indicates a blockage of the door.
- Nottasterterminal 1 existing individual display elements 6a and 6b and the partial displays 7 are in the non-activated state and thus emit no light.
- Nottasterterminal 1 for persons with a red-green-blindness of the operating state of the emergency master terminal 1 can be seen, since already the shape and shape of the displayed by the two individual display elements 5a and 5b pattern indicates the locked state of the door.
- Fig. 1b another combination of individual display elements is activated by the control unit.
- the two vertically extending individual display elements 6a and 6b are activated, the other individual display elements 5a and 5b and the partial displays 7 are not activated and thus emit no light.
- the longitudinal extent of the two activated, for the viewer vertically extending bar-shaped individual display elements 6a and 6b are applied in accordance with the course of a direction, preferably in accordance with the direction of escape.
- the orientation and shape of the individual display elements 6a and 6b is thus derived from the escape route direction.
- the emergency call terminal 1 in addition to the figure form beyond used an additional color coding.
- the two individual display elements 6a and 6b which extend vertically for the viewer, emit green light, derived from traffic lights, to indicate the opened state of the escape door.
- Nottasterterminals 1 from the displayed information on the operating state of the Nottasterterminals close and immediately go, for example, in an alarm state on the right escape route
- the emergency master terminal can also be controlled, for example, by an access control unit, in which case a permanent or short-term release controlled by the access control unit is displayed via the emergency switch terminal 1.
- the colorblind user can recognize the release state of the door regardless of the color coding.
- Fig. 1c only the four partial displays 7 are activated.
- the partial displays are used to display the status of the emergency call terminal with regard to installation and maintenance work.
- different combinations of activated and non-activated partial displays 7 can also be assigned to specific programming states, to specific types of errors or even to different diagnostic modes.
- the displayed pattern signals in this case, for example, a fault of the emergency master terminal.
- the in Fig. 1d shown state of the emergency master terminal 1 is used to service the emergency master terminal 1.
- all individual display elements 5a, 5b, 6a and 6b and the existing partial displays 7 are activated and emit light.
- Such a function controlled by the control unit is of particular relevance insofar as that a system check can be carried out here in which all the light-emitting components of the display element 4 can be checked simultaneously for their functionality.
- the Fig. 2a to 2d show an emergency terminal 1 'with countdown function and a chase function (not shown in detail).
- the individual display elements 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the emergency master terminal 1 ' are each composed of six identical light sources 8a-f, 9a-f (only referred to as the entire individual display element 9), 10a-f and 11 af (only as total single display element 11).
- Each of the light-emitting means 8a-f, 9a-f, 10a-f and 11 af in each case has a luminescence diode.
- the six respective bulbs 10a-f and 11a-f of the two vertically extending individual display elements 10 and 11 are activated by the control unit, so that a pattern of two mutually parallel bars or light band double rows is indicated by the display element 4 of the emergency button terminal 1 ' becomes.
- the individual and in this case activated lamps 10a-f and 11a-f emit green light. Both the shape and the color of the in Fig. 2a shown pattern correlates with an open state of an escape door (not shown).
- Fig. 2b In contrast to Fig. 2a lie in Fig. 2b no longer all the bulbs of the two vertically extending display elements 10 and 11 in the activated state before. In each case, the lower two lamps 10e and 10f, and 11e and 11f are inactivated. It was done in Fig. 2b illustrated inactivation of the respective lower two lamps stepwise and one after the other, starting with the respective outer bulbs 10f and 11f.
- the switching off of the individual lamps of each individual display element takes place at constant time intervals and is controlled by the control unit in a time-dependent manner. Is thus in Fig. 2a still the full time period of an unlocked, openable escape door before so puts Fig. 2b the time when only two-thirds of the available time is available.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Nottasterterminal mit einer lichtemittierenden Anzeige.The invention relates to an emergency terminal with a light-emitting display.
Nottasterterminals mit lichtemittierenden Anzeigen sind bekannt. So geht beispielsweise aus der
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es somit, ein Nottasterterminal anzugeben, welches im Gefahrenfall die Flucht erleichtert.The object of the invention is thus to provide a Nottasterterminal, which facilitates the escape in case of danger.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch das im unabhängigen Anspruch genannte Nottasterterminal gelöst. Bevorzugte Weiterbildungen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.According to the invention, the object is achieved by the emergency terminal called in the independent claim. Preferred developments are specified in the dependent claims.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe gelingt mit einem Nottasterterminal mit einer lichtemittierenden Anzeige, wobei die Anzeige im aktivierten Zustand eine richtungsweisende Anzeigefigur anzeigt. Durch die Anzeige einer richtungsweisenden Figur wird der Fliehende bereits durch das Nottasterterminal in Fluchtrichtung geleitet. Unter Anzeigefigur ist im Folgenden eine äußere Gestalt eines Körpers oder vorzugsweise einer Fläche zu verstehen, die durch die lichtemittierende Anzeige im aktivierten Zustand angezeigt wird. Vorzugsweise wird dabei die Anzeigefigur von einer zusammenhängenden Fläche gebildet. Unter einer richtungsweisenden Anzeigefigur ist ferner jede Art von Anzeigefigur zu verstehen, deren äußere Gestalt eine Orientierung angibt bzw. durch ihre Form eine Richtung wiedergibt oder angibt bzw. eine gerichtete Form aufweist. Eine richtungsweisende Anzeigefigur weist somit eine Vorzugsrichtung auf. Vorzugsweise werden dazu richtungsweisende Anzeigefiguren verwendet, die entlang ihrer Richtungsweisung spiegelsymmetrisch ausgebildet sind. Dies können beispielsweise gleichschenklige Dreiecke, balken- bzw. streifenförmige Figuren, Rauten etc. sein.The object is achieved with an emergency terminal with a light-emitting display, wherein the display indicates a trend-setting display figure in the activated state. By displaying a trend-setting figure, the fugitive is already passed through the emergency terminal in the direction of escape. In the following, a display figure is an external shape of a body or, preferably, an area indicated by the light-emitting display in the activated state. Preferably, the display figure of a contiguous Surface formed. A trend-setting display figure is furthermore to be understood as meaning any type of display figure whose outer shape indicates an orientation or by means of its shape reflects or indicates a direction or has a directional shape. A trend-setting display figure thus has a preferred direction. Preferably, directional display figures are used, which are formed mirror-symmetrically along their direction. These can be, for example, isosceles triangles, bar-shaped or strip-shaped figures, diamonds, etc.
Das erfindungsgemäße Nottasterterminal weist ferner eine Steuereinheit auf, die die Aktivierung und Inaktivierung bzw. den Betrieb aller zur Anzeige gehörenden lichtemittierenden Elemente steuert. Die Anzeige kann somit beispielsweise eingeschaltet werden, so dass die lichtemittierende Anzeige zumindest zur Darstellung einer richtungsweisenden Anzeigefigur Licht emittiert, und abgeschaltet werden, wobei im abgeschalteten Zustand die lichtemittierende Anzeige kein Licht zur Darstellung einer richtungsweisenden Figur emittiert.The emergency master terminal according to the invention also has a control unit which controls the activation and inactivation or the operation of all the light-emitting elements belonging to the display. The display can thus be switched on, for example, so that the light-emitting display emits light at least to display a trend-setting display figure, and be switched off, wherein in the switched-off state the light-emitting display emits no light for displaying a trend-setting figure.
Die Erfindung sieht zur Lösung der Aufgabe weiter vor, dass die Anzeige mindestens zwei Einzelanzeigeelemente aufweist, wobei zumindest eine der mindestens zwei Einzelanzeigenelemente eine richtungsweisende Anzeigefigur anzeigt. Eine Unterteilung der Anzeige in mehrere eigenständige Untereinheiten bzw. Einzelanzeigeelemente erhöht die Anzeigemöglichkeiten des erfindungsgemäßen Nottasterterminals. Die mindestens eine richtungsweisende Anzeigefigur ist somit um mindestens ein weiteres lichtemittierendes Einzelanzeigeelement erweitert, welches im aktivierten Zustand keine mit dem ersten Einzelanzeigeelemente zusammenhängende Figur anzeigt. Dies können beispielsweise neben der richtungsweisenden Anzeigefigur Betriebs- und Statusanzeigen oder aber auch sonstige Einzelanzeigen sein. Die Steuerung der Einzelanzeigeelemente erfolgt dabei durch die Steuereinheit.To achieve the object, the invention further provides that the display has at least two individual display elements, wherein at least one of the at least two individual display elements indicates a trend-setting display figure. A subdivision of the display into a plurality of independent subunits or individual display elements increases the display possibilities of the emergency master terminal according to the invention. The at least one trend-setting display figure is thus extended by at least one further light-emitting individual display element which, in the activated state, does not indicate any figure associated with the first individual display element. This can be, for example, in addition to the trend-setting display figure operating and status displays or other individual displays. The control of the individual display elements is carried out by the control unit.
Die mindestens zwei Einzelanzeigeelemente werden ferner wechselseitig von der Steuereinheit aktiviert. Die wechselseitige Aktivierung beugt der gleichzeitigen Anzeige widersprüchlicher Anzeigefiguren vor. Zweckmäßigerweise wird das mindestens eine Einzelanzeigeelement, welches eine richtungsweisende Anzeigefigur anzeigt, von der Steuereinheit in einer Notsituation aktiviert. Die richtungsweisende Anzeigefigur des mindestens einen Einzelanzeigenelements ist dabei beispielsweise in der Art und Weise am Nottasterterminal angebracht, dass die Orientierung der richtungsweisenden Anzeigefigur mit der Fluchtrichtung übereinstimmt. Fluchtrichtung ist dabei vorzugsweise die Richtung, in die der Fluchtweg vom Nottasterterminal aus verläuft. Die richtungsweisende Anzeigefigur weist somit auf den Verlauf von Fluchtwegen bzw. Fluchtdurchgängen hin. Im Normalbetrieb des Nottasterterminals, in dem die mindestens eine Einzelanzeige, welche eine richtungsweisende Anzeigefigur anzeigt, im inaktivierten Zustand vorliegt, aktiviert die Steuereinheit ein mindestens zweites Einzelanzeigeelement, welches vorzugsweise eine Anzeigefigur anzeigt, die den Normalzustand signalisiert. Dies kann beispielsweise der Hinweis auf eine verschlossene Fluchttür sein. Entsprechend weist das Nottasterterminal zur Anzeige eines derartigen Zustands vorzugsweise Anzeigefiguren mit einer Sperrfunktion auf. Dies sind beispielsweise Kreise, Ringe, gekreuzte Balken etc.The at least two individual display elements are also mutually activated by the control unit. The mutual activation prevents the simultaneous display of contradictory display figures. The at least one individual display element, which indicates a trend-setting display figure, is expediently activated by the control unit in an emergency situation. The trend-setting display figure of the at least one individual display element is attached, for example, in the manner of Nottasterterminal that the orientation of the trend-pointing display figure coincides with the direction of escape. Escape direction is preferably the direction in which the escape route from Nottasterterminal runs. The trend-setting display figure thus indicates the course of escape routes or escape routes. In normal operation of Nottasterterminals in which the at least one individual display, which a trend-setting Indicates display character, in the inactivated state, the control unit activates an at least second individual display element, which preferably displays a display figure that signals the normal state. This can be, for example, the reference to a locked escape door. Accordingly, to indicate such a condition, the emergency master terminal preferably has display figures with a disabling function. These are, for example, circles, rings, crossed bars, etc.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das mindestens eine Einzelanzeigeelement der Anzeige aus mehr als einem Leuchtmittel zusammengesetzt, wobei die Leuchtmittel des mindestens einen Einzelanzeigeelements besonders bevorzugt zumindest teilweise gruppenweise von der Steuereinheit angesteuert werden. Durch die weitere Unterteilung der Einzelanzeigelemente in mindestens zwei Leuchtmittel kann die Anzeigevielfalt des jeweiligen Einzelanzeigeelementes und letztendlich der gesamten Anzeige erhöht werden. Unter Leuchtmittel sind im Folgenden speziell die lichtemittierenden Objekte des Nottasters zu verstehen. Dies sind beispielsweise Glühbirnen, vorzugsweise Lumineszens-Dioden (LED's). In diesem Zusammenhang umfassen Leuchtmittel aber insbesondere auch lichtleitende Strukturen wie beispielsweise lichtleitende Kunststoffbauteile, Glasfasern oder Lichtrohre, die Licht einer vorgeschalteten aktiv lichterzeugenden Einrichtung wie zum Beispiel einer LED oder einer Glühbirne weiterleiten und zumindest bereichsweise emittieren. Eine Aktivierung der letzteren Leuchtmittel durch die Steuereinheit erfolgt somit indirekt über eine Ansteuerung der jeweils betreffenden lichterzeugenden Einrichtung durch die Steuereinheit. Im Einzelnen aktiviert die Steuereinheit die einzelnen Leuchtmittel eines Einzelanzeigeelements vorzugsweise gemeinsam bzw. gruppenweise. In dieser bevorzugten Ausführungsform werden somit die von den Einzelanzeigeelementen angezeigten Anzeigefiguren von der Gesamtheit der Leuchtmittel jeweils eines Einzelanzeigeelements gebildet, die gemeinsam von der Steuereinheit aktiviert werden.In a preferred embodiment, the at least one individual display element of the display is composed of more than one light-emitting means, wherein the light-emitting means of the at least one individual display element are particularly preferably driven in groups at least in groups by the control unit. By further subdivision of the individual display elements in at least two bulbs, the display variety of the respective individual display element and ultimately the entire display can be increased. In the following, bulbs are to be understood as meaning in particular the light-emitting objects of the emergency button. These are, for example, light bulbs, preferably luminescent diodes (LEDs). In this context, however, bulbs include, in particular, also light-conducting structures such as, for example, light-conducting plastic components, glass fibers or light tubes, which pass on light of an upstream active light-generating device such as an LED or a light bulb and emit it at least in some areas. An activation of the latter lamps by the control unit thus takes place indirectly via an activation of the relevant light-generating device by the control unit. In detail, the control unit preferably activates the individual light sources of an individual display element jointly or in groups. In this preferred embodiment, the display figures displayed by the individual display elements are thus formed by the totality of the lighting means of a respective individual display element, which are activated jointly by the control unit.
Besonders bevorzugt sind die mehr als ein Leuchtmittel eines Einzelanzeigelements linear zueinander angeordnet. Durch eine lineare Anordnung der Leuchtmittel ist insbesondere eine angezeigte Richtung leichter zu Erkennen. Dabei verläuft die Längserstreckung der linearen Anordnung vorzugsweise parallel zur ausgewiesenen Richtung bzw. speziell zur Fluchtrichtung. Vorteilhaft ist es somit, dass bei einem Vorhandensein von mindestens zwei Einzelanzeigeelementen mindestens eines der mindestens zwei Einzelanzeigeelemente eine balkenförmige Anzeigefigur anzeigt. Eine balkenförmige Figur gibt eine Richtung besonders gut an. Unter einer balkenförmigen Anzeigefigur ist im Folgenden eine stab- bzw. streifenförmige Figur vorzugsweise in Form eines Rechtecks zu verstehen.Particularly preferably, the more than one light source of a single display element are arranged linearly relative to one another. By a linear arrangement of the lighting means, in particular, a displayed direction is easier to recognize. In this case, the longitudinal extension of the linear arrangement preferably runs parallel to the designated direction or especially to the direction of escape. It is thus advantageous that, in the presence of at least two individual display elements, at least one of the at least two individual display elements indicates a bar-shaped display figure. A bar-shaped figure indicates a direction particularly well. In the following, a bar-shaped display figure is to be understood as a bar-shaped or strip-shaped figure, preferably in the form of a rectangle.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform zeigt die Anzeige ein richtungsweisendes Muster an. Durch die Anzeige richtungsweisender Muster lässt sich eine Richtungsangabe deutlicher und verständlicher anzeigen. Ein Muster ist in diesem Zusammenhang die Gesamtheit der durch eine kombinierte Aktivierung von mindestens zwei Anzeigefiguren angezeigte Form bzw. Gestalt. Besonders bevorzugt weist das gesamte Muster in eine Richtung. Muster mit richtungsweisenden Eigenschaften zeichnen sich beispielsweise dadurch aus, dass sie in ihrer Gesamtheit eine Längsorientierung haben, oder dass sie sich kontinuierlich in eine Richtung gleichförmig oder periodisch verändern. Richtungsweisende Muster sind somit beispielsweise Lichtbandmehrfachreihen, vorzugsweise Lichtbanddoppelreihen, Muster aus rauten- und dreiecksförmigen Einzelfiguren etc.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the display indicates a trend-setting pattern. By displaying trend-setting patterns, a direction indication can be displayed more clearly and comprehensibly. A pattern in this context is the entirety of the shape or shape displayed by a combined activation of at least two display figures. Most preferably, the entire pattern is in one direction. Patterns with directional properties are characterized, for example, in that they have a longitudinal orientation in their entirety or that they change continuously in one direction uniformly or periodically. Directional patterns are thus, for example, rows of light multiple rows, preferably light band double rows, patterns of rhombic and triangular individual figures, etc.
Hier hat es sich als besonders vorteilhaft herausgestellt, das Muster aus gleichartigen Anzeigefiguren aufzubauen. Eine derartige Anordnung ist hinsichtlich der Einfachheit und Eindeutigkeit der Aussage eines derartigen Musters komplexeren Mustern, die aus verschiedenartigen Anzeigefiguren zusammengesetzt sind, erheblich überlegen. Ferner ist der Aufbau der Muster aus gleichartigen Anzeigefiguren insbesondere auch hinsichtlich der Herstellungskosten von Vorteil. Vorzugsweise wird das Muster dabei aus Einzelelementen aufgebaut, die an sich bereits richtungsweisende Eigenschaften haben.Here it has proven to be particularly advantageous to build the pattern of similar display figures. Such an arrangement, in view of the simplicity and uniqueness of the statement of such a pattern, is considerably superior to more complex patterns composed of various display figures. Furthermore, the structure of the pattern of similar display figures in particular also in terms of manufacturing costs of advantage. In this case, the pattern is preferably constructed from individual elements which in themselves already have trend-setting properties.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform zeigt die Anzeige wechselweise zwei Muster an, wobei sich die Muster in ihrer Form oder in ihrer Farbe unterscheiden. Durch die Anzeige unterschiedlicher Muster können unterschiedliche Betriebszustände des Nottasterterminals besser angezeigt werden. Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist jedoch die Verknüpfung zweier unterschiedlicher Muster mit jeweils unterschiedlichen Farben, so dass die Muster nicht nur eine formmäßig unterschiedliche Gestalt haben, sondern zusätzlich untereinander verschiedenfarbiges Licht emittieren. Diese besondere Ausführungsform ermöglicht die kombinierte Anzeige unterschiedlicher Betriebszustände des Nottasterterminal wie beispielsweise einerseits eines "gefahrenfreien" Normalzustandes und einer "gefährlichen" Notsituation mit einem unmissverständlichen und eindeutigen Fluchtweghinweis. Diese besondere Ausführung der Erfindung ist für eine Person, die das erfindungsgemäße Nottasterterminal betätigt hat, besonders hilfreich, da die betreffende Person umgehend einen weiteren Hinweis hinsichtlich der Fluchtmöglichkeiten erhält. Dies trifft insbesondere auf Personen mit einer Farbfehlsichtigkeit zu, da diese unabhängig von der jeweils angezeigten Farbe auf Grund der durch das Nottasterterminal angezeigten Anzeigefigur bzw. -muster mit richtungsweisenden Eigenschaften ebenfalls auf einen Rettungsweg hingewiesen werden.In another preferred embodiment, the display alternately displays two patterns, the patterns differing in shape or color. By displaying different patterns different operating states of the emergency master terminal can be displayed better. However, very particularly preferred is the combination of two different patterns, each with different colors, so that the pattern not only have a shape different shape, but in addition emit different colored light among themselves. This particular embodiment makes possible the combined display of different operating states of the emergency terminal, such as, on the one hand, a "hazard-free" normal state and a "dangerous" emergency situation with an unmistakable and clear escape route indication. This particular embodiment of the invention is particularly useful for a person who has operated the emergency terminal according to the invention, since the person concerned immediately receives a further indication regarding the escape options. This applies in particular to persons with color vision deficiency, since they are also informed of an escape route, irrespective of the respectively displayed color, due to the display figure or pattern with directional properties displayed by the emergency button terminal.
Die Farbe des emittierten Lichts der Muster korreliert somit vorzugsweise mit der Zweckbestimmung der Muster und dem Betriebszustand des Nottasterterminals. Eine Erkennung des durch die Anzeige angezeigten Betriebszustandes durch eine Person ist hier noch einfacher. Diese besondere Ausführungsform vereint mit der Positionsangabe des Nottasterterminals und der Richtungsangabe durch die richtungsweisenden Eigenschaften des Musters zusätzlich eine Farbcodierung für den Betriebszustand des Nottasterterminals. Zur Farbwahl hat es sich allgemein eingebürgert, in Analogie zu Straßenampeln, die Farbe grün für freie Durchgänge und die Farbe rot für gesperrte Durchgänge zu verwenden. Die Erfindung ist jedoch nicht auf eine solche Farbkombination beschränkt, sondern lässt sich hier beliebig variieren. Neben der erweiterten Möglichkeit, auch ein einzelnes Muster aus unterschiedlichen Farben des Lichts zusammenzusetzen, beispielsweise mit Farbgradienten etc., hat es sich jedoch als vorteilhaft erwiesen, jeweils ein Muster in einer einheitlichen Farbe zu gestalten.The color of the emitted light of the patterns thus preferably correlates with the purpose of the patterns and the operating state of the emergency master terminal. Detecting the operating state displayed by the display by a person is even easier here. This particular embodiment combines with the position indication of the emergency master terminal and the direction indication by the directional characteristics of the pattern additionally a color coding for the operating state of the emergency master terminal. For the choice of color, it has generally been natural, in analogy to traffic lights, to use the color green for free passages and the color red for blocked passages. However, the invention is not limited to such a color combination, but can be varied here as desired. In addition to the extended possibility to assemble a single pattern of different colors of light, for example, with color gradients, etc., it has proven to be advantageous to make each a pattern in a uniform color.
Die Funktionalität des Nottasterterminals kann darüber hinaus zusätzlich erhöht werden, indem die Anzeige eine Lauflichtfunktion aufweist. Unter einer Lauflichtfunktion ist dabei ein Einzelanzeigeelement aus mindestens zwei benachbarten Leuchtmitteln zu verstehen, wobei die mindestens zwei Leuchtmittel nacheinander aktiviert bzw. durchlaufen werden. Bevorzugt weist die Anzeige dazu mindestens drei linear zueinander angeordnete Leuchtmittel auf, wobei die mindestens drei Leuchtmittel nacheinander aktiviert werden. Besonders bevorzugt wird jeweils eines der mindestens drei Leuchtmittel aktiviert und in dem Moment wieder inaktiviert, in dem das nächste und vorzugsweise benachbarte Leuchtmittel aktiviert wird. Dabei werden die mindestens drei benachbarten Leuchtmittel vorzugsweise in Reihe und nacheinander durchlaufen. Es hat sich als besonders günstig herausgestellt, wenn die Laufrichtung des Lauflichts des Einzelanzeigelementes sich an der räumlichen Fluchtrichtung ausrichtet. Besonders bevorzugt ist ein Nottasterterminal, welches mehrere Einzelanzeigeelemente mit Lauflichtfunktion aufweist, da die Lauflichtfunktion dann deutlicher zu erkennen ist. Dabei ist es besonders bevorzugt, wenn die Lauflichtfunktion eines Einzelanzeigelementes synchron mit der Lauflichtanzeige mindestens eines weiteren Einzelanzeigeelementes gesteuert wird.In addition, the functionality of the emergency call terminal can be additionally increased by the display having a running light function. Under a running light function is an individual display element of at least two adjacent bulbs to understand, the at least two bulbs are activated or run through successively. For this purpose, the display preferably has at least three bulbs arranged linearly relative to one another, the at least three bulbs being activated one after the other. Particularly preferably, in each case one of the at least three lighting means is activated and inactivated again in the moment in which the next and preferably adjacent lighting means is activated. The at least three adjacent bulbs are preferably passed through in series and successively. It has been found to be particularly advantageous if the running direction of the running light of the individual display element aligns with the spatial direction of escape. Particularly preferred is a Nottasterterminal which has a plurality of individual display elements with running light function, since the running light function is then clearly visible. It is particularly preferred if the running light function of an individual display element is controlled synchronously with the running light display of at least one further individual display element.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die einzelnen Leuchtmittel des mindestens einen Einzelanzeigeelementes mit Lauflicht-Funktion gleichartig gestaltet. Besonders bevorzugt ist die Anzeige mit Lauflicht-Funktionen zweiteilig ausgelegt, wobei jeder Teil mindestens ein Einzelanzeigeelement mit einer Gruppe von Leuchtmitteln aufweist, die jeweils nacheinander durchlaufen werden. Vorzugsweise ist somit jeweils mindestens ein Leuchtmittel eines Einzelanzeigeelementes aktiviert. Die Funktionalität einer Anzeige mit einer Lauflicht-Funktion lässt sich darüber hinaus zusätzlich erhöhen, wenn die mindestens zwei Einzelanzeigelemente in Form einer Lichtband-Doppelreihe am Gehäuse angeordnet sind, wobei jedes Lichtband aus mindestens zwei Leuchtmitteln aufgebaut ist. In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird jedes Lichtband von jeweils einem Lauflicht durchlaufen, wobei die beiden Lauflichter in Laufrichtung vorzugsweise gleichgerichtet und parallel zueinander verlaufen.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the individual luminous means of the at least one individual display element with running light function are designed to be similar. Particularly preferably, the display with running light functions is designed in two parts, wherein each part has at least one individual display element with a group of lighting means, which are each passed through successively. Preferably, at least one lamp of a single display element is thus activated in each case. The functionality of a display with a running light function can be further increased in addition, if the at least two individual display elements in the form of a light band double row are arranged on the housing, wherein each light band is constructed from at least two light sources. In a particularly preferred embodiment, each band of light is passed through by a respective running light, wherein the two chases in the running direction are preferably rectified and parallel to each other.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die Steuereinheit ferner derartig ausgelegt, dass die einzelnen Leuchtmittel des Nottasterterminals gedimmt werden können, wobei dimmen in diesem Zusammenhang sowohl eine stufenlose Steigerung als auch eine stufenlose Senkung der Lichtintensität bedeutet. Die Dimmung kann sich jeweils auf das gesamte Einzelanzeigeelement erstrecken, aber auch einzelne Leuchtmittel eines Einzelanzeigeelementes. So kann beispielsweise die Lauflichtfunktion mit der Dimmfunktion kombiniert werden.Advantageously, the control unit is further designed such that the individual light sources of the emergency master terminal can be dimmed, wherein dimming in this context means both a continuous increase and a stepless reduction in the light intensity. The dimming can each extend to the entire individual display element, but also individual light sources of a single display element. For example, the chase function can be combined with the dimming function.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Nottasterterminals weist eine Anzeige mit einer Countdown-Funktion auf. Durch eine Countdown-Funktion können zeitlich abhängige Prozesse, wie beispielsweise ein Öffnungsintervall oder die Öffnungszeit einer Fluchttür oder aber auch Langzeit- und Kurzzeitfreigaben der Fluchttür, angezeigt werden. Eine Anzeige mit Countdown-Funktion erlaubt durch die besondere Ausführung der Anzeige die optische und zeitlich abhängige Signalisierung der Freigabezeit bzw. der Restöffnungszeit der Tür etc. Dabei werden entweder einzelne oder mehrere Einzelanzeigelemente bzw. einzelne oder mehrere Leuchtmittel eines oder mehrerer Einzelanzeigeelemente der Anzeige in zeitlicher Abhängigkeit zueinander durch die Steuereinheit geschaltet.Another preferred embodiment of the emergency master terminal according to the invention has a display with a countdown function. By a countdown function, time-dependent processes, such as an opening interval or the opening time of an escape door or even long-term and short-term releases of the escape door, can be displayed. A display with countdown function allows the visual and time-dependent signaling of the release time or the remaining opening time of the door, etc. In this case, either single or multiple individual display elements or single or multiple lamps of one or more individual display elements of the display in time Dependency switched by the control unit.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform werden dazu Einzelanzeigeelemente verwendet, die aus mindestens zwei, vorzugsweise jedoch fünf bis zehn gleichartigen und linear zueinander angeordneten Leuchtmitteln aufgebaut sind, verwendet. Dabei werden bevorzugt zu Beginn des Countdowns sämtliche Leuchtmittel zumindest eines Einzelanzeigeelements aktiviert und nacheinander zeitabhängig inaktiviert. Besonders bevorzugt wird mit der Inaktivierung mit einem Leuchtmittel des zumindest einen Einzelanzeigeelementes begonnen, welches nur ein weiteres Leuchtmittel in seiner Nachbarschaft aufweist bzw. welches am Rand des Einzelanzeigelementes lokalisiert ist, so dass die linear angeordneten Leuchtmittel des zumindest einen Leuchtmittels der Reihe nach inaktiviert werden. Alternativ ist es auch möglich, von inaktivierten Leuchtmitteln des zumindest einen Einzelanzeigeelementes auszugehen und diese der Reihe nach zu aktivieren. Eine derartige Countdown-Funktion ist ganz besonders auch zur Anzeige von Entriegelungsverzögerungen geeignet.In a particularly preferred embodiment, individual display elements are used, which are constructed of at least two, but preferably five to ten similar and linearly arranged lighting means used. In this case, preferably at the beginning of the countdown, all lamps of at least one individual display element are activated and inactivated one after the other in a time-dependent manner. Particularly preferably, inactivation is started with a luminous means of the at least one individual display element which has only one further luminous means in its vicinity or which is located at the edge of the individual display element, so that the linearly arranged luminous means of the at least one luminous means are inactivated one after the other. Alternatively, it is also possible to start from inactivated bulbs of the at least one individual display element and to activate these in turn. Such a countdown function is also particularly suitable for displaying unlocking delays.
Für den Betrieb und die Wartung des erfindungsgemäßen Nottasterterminals ist es darüber hinaus günstig, wenn die Anzeige des Nottasterterminals weitere Teilanzeigen aufweist, die einzeln oder in Kombination Muster anzeigen, die einzelnen Betriebs- und Wartungszuständen des Nottasterterminals zugeordnet sind. Derartige Teilanzeigen werden von der Steuereinheit unabhängig von den bereits erwähnten Einzelanzeigeelementen gesteuert. Die weiteren Teilanzeigen können beispielsweise zur Anzeige von Mustern dienen, die Programmierungsschritte, Fehlermeldungen etc. anzeigen, oder alternativ den Benutzer auf Wartungsarbeiten hinweisen. Am Gehäuse des Nottasterterminals sind die Teilanzeigen vorzugsweise kleiner ausgeführt als die Einzelanzeigeelemente und emittieren eine andere Lichtfarbe als eine der von den vorhandenen Einzelanzeigeelementen emittierte Lichtfarben. Ferner ist es möglich, dass das Nottasterterminal Betriebszustände kombiniert mit zumindest einem Teil der vorhandenen Teilanzeigen und mit zumindest einem Teil der vorhandenen Einzelanzeigeelementen anzeigt.For the operation and maintenance of Nottasterterminals invention, it is also advantageous if the display of Nottasterterminals has further partial displays that display individually or in combination patterns that are assigned to individual operating and maintenance conditions of Nottasterterminals. Such partial displays are controlled by the control unit independently of the already mentioned individual display elements. The further partial displays can serve, for example, for displaying patterns which indicate programming steps, error messages, etc., or alternatively point out the user to maintenance work. On the housing of the emergency call terminal, the partial displays are preferably made smaller than the individual display elements and emit a different light color than one of the light colors emitted by the individual display elements present. Furthermore, it is possible for the emergency master terminal to display operating states combined with at least part of the existing partial displays and with at least a part of the existing individual display elements.
Bevorzugt weist die Anzeige ein Farbdisplay auf. Dadurch kann eine besonders große Vielfalt an Anzeigefiguren und Anzeigefarben erhalten werden. Darüber hinaus haben Farbdisplays den Vorteil, dass die angezeigten Figuren oder Farben durch Programmierungsschritte geändert werden können. Auf diese Art und Weise können die Anzeigefiguren und -farben variiert werden, ohne dass Umbaumaßnahmen am Nottasterterminal erforderlich sind.Preferably, the display has a color display. Thereby, a particularly large variety of display figures and display colors can be obtained. In addition, color displays have the advantage that the displayed figures or colors can be changed by programming steps. In this way, the display figures and colors can be varied without the need for reconfiguration of the emergency terminal.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist die Anzeige zumindest bereichsweise selbstleuchtende Elemente auf. Durch die Verwendung selbstleuchtender Elemente kann unter anderem der Stromverbrauch des Nottasterterminals gesenkt werden. Dies ist insbesondere in Notsituationen von Vorteil, bei denen die kontinuierliche Stromversorgung des Nottasterterminals nicht mehr gewährleistet ist. Durch die Senkung der zur Beleuchtung benötigten elektrischen Energie beispielsweise mittels eines Akkumulators oder anderen Speichermedien für elektrische Energie, kann so die Anzeigezeit des Nottasterterminals verlängert werden.In a further advantageous embodiment, the display has at least partially self-luminous elements. By using self-luminous elements, among other things, the power consumption of Nottasterterminals can be reduced. This is particularly advantageous in emergency situations in which the continuous power supply of the emergency terminal is no longer guaranteed. By lowering the electrical energy required for lighting, for example by means of a rechargeable battery or other storage media for electrical energy, so the display time of Nottasterterminals can be extended.
Die selbstleuchtenden Elemente sind dabei ganz besonders bevorzugt Elektro-Lumineszenz-Folien. Elektro-Lumineszenz-Folien zeichnen sich durch ihre äußerst geringe Dicke aus, so dass die Anzeige in diesem Fall nur sehr wenig Raum am Nottasterterminal benötigt. Auf diese Art und Weise können somit sehr flache und platzsparende Nottasterterminals erhalten werden.The self-luminous elements are very particularly preferably electro-luminescent films. Electro-luminescent films are characterized by their extremely small thickness, so that the display in this case requires very little space at the emergency terminal. In this way, thus very flat and space-saving Nottasterterminals can be obtained.
