It is however to be noted that the invention is also applicable to any other type of structure requiring periodic control, inspection/verification and/or maintenance operations.
  • periodical safety controls are required to be carried out in order to verify whether the different structures present in said environments are in compliance with the regulations in force and can have suitable features for facing danger or alarm situations.
  • these controls must be performed on extinguishers, fire hoses, emergency exits, etc.
  • US 2003/0061005 discloses a handheld, portable device used to store data that indicate an operator was sufficiently close to each of a plurality of components during a safety inspection to actually inspect the components.
  • the portable device includes a sensor that detects tokens, the pretence of which is predefined, such as radio frequency identification tags, which are affixed adjacent to the components.

    - eine Nahbereichslesevorrichtung (20), die dazu geeignet ist, Erfassungsdaten (DD), die mindestens eine der Strukturen (30, 40, 50) identifizieren, von Identifizierungsvorrichtungen (30a, 40a, 50a) zu lesen, die mit Strukturen (30, 40, 50) assoziiert sind;
    - Dateneingabemittel (71), um das Eingeben von Überwachungsdaten (MD), die sich auf die mindestens eine Struktur (30, 40, 50) beziehen, durch einen Bediener in das System zu ermöglichen;
    - Speichermittel (12; 30b, 40b, 50b, 120), die wirksam mit den Dateneingabemitteln (71) zum Speichern der Überwachungsdaten (MD) assoziiert sind;
    - ein tragbares Gerät (80), umfassend einen Speicher (10), der wiederum mindestens ein erstes Register (11) beinhaltet, das gespeicherte Daten (SD) enthält, die Strukturen (30, 40, 50) identifizieren;
    - einen Hauptcomputer (100), der mit Folgendem versehen ist:
    • einem ersten Kommunikationsmodul (110) zum Kommunizieren mit einer Lesevorrichtung und zum Empfangen von Identifizierungsdaten (ID) für die Strukturen (30, 40, 50) von den Identifizierungsvorrichtungen (30a, 40a, 50a);
    • einem Hauptspeicherregister (120), in dem die Identifizierungsdaten (ID) der Strukturen (30, 40, 50), die vom ersten Kommunikationsmodul (110) empfangen werden, gespeichert sind;
    • einem zweiten Kommunikationsmodul (130) zum Kommunizieren mit dem ersten Register (11) des Speichers (10), um dort hinein eine Übertragung mindestens eines Teils der Identifizierungsdaten (ID), die im Hauptspeicherregister (120) gespeichert sind, durchzuführen,
    wobei die Identifizierungsdaten (ID), die vom Hauptspeicherregister (120) zum ersten Register (11) des Speichers (10) übertragen werden, die gespeicherten Daten (SD) definieren, die im ersten Register (11) des Speichers (10) gespeichert sind;
    wobei das tragbare Gerät (80) mit der Lesevorrichtung (20) assoziiert ist und mit Folgendem versehen ist:
    • einer Verarbeitungseinheit (60), die wirksam mit dem Speicher (10) und der Lesevorrichtung (20) assoziiert ist, um die gespeicherten Daten (SD) mit den Erfassungsdaten (DD) zu vergleichen;
    • einer Benutzerschnittstelle (70), die die Dateneingabemittel (71) definiert und wirksam mit der Verarbeitungseinheit (60) verriegelt ist, um im Falle einer Übereinstimmung zwischen den gespeicherten Daten (SD) und den Erfassungsdaten (DD) das Eingeben der Überwachungsdaten (MD), die sich auf die mindestens eine Struktur (30, 40, 50) beziehen, durch einen Bediener zu ermöglichen.
  5. System nach Anspruch 4, wobei die Lesevorrichtung (20) ein RFID-Markierungsleser ist.
  6. System nach einem der Ansprüche 4 bis 5, wobei jede Identifizierungsvorrichtung (30a, 40a, 50a) eine RFID-Markierung umfasst, wobei jede davon mit einer entsprechenden Struktur (30, 40, 50) assoziiert ist.
  7. System nach einem der Ansprüche 4 bis 6, wobei die Überwachungsdaten (MD) für einen Überwachungs- oder Kontrollvorgang repräsentativ sind, der vom Bediener auf die mindestens eine Struktur (30, 40, 50) durchgeführt wird.
  8. System nach Anspruch 7, wobei die Benutzerschnittstelle (70) zwischen einem ersten Betriebszustand, in dem das Eingeben der Überwachungsdaten (MD) nicht gestattet wird, und einem zweiten Betriebszustand, in dem das Eingeben der Überwachungsdaten (MD) gestattet wird, gesteuert wird.
  9. System nach Anspruch 8, wobei die Verarbeitungseinheit (60) so konfiguriert ist, dass im Falle einer Übereinstimmung zwischen den gespeicherten Daten (SD) und den Erfassungsdaten (DD) ein Aktivierungssignal (AS) erzeugt wird, um die Benutzerschnittstelle (70) zum zweiten Betriebszustand zu steuern.
  10. System nach Anspruch 4, wobei die Speichermittel ein zweites Register (12), das ein Teil des Speichers (10) ist, zum Speichern der Überwachungsdaten (MD) der mindestens einen Struktur (30, 40, 50) umfassen, wobei die Daten mit den gespeicherten Daten (SD) assoziiert sind, die die mindestens eine Struktur (30, 40, 50) identifizieren.
  11. System nach Anspruch 4, wobei die Speichermittel Speicher umfassen, die in die Identifizierungsvorrichtungen (30a, 40a, 50a) integriert sind.
  12. System nach Anspruch 4, wobei die Speichermittel mindestens einen Speicher umfassen, der in ein tragbares Gerät (80) integriert ist, das wirksam mit der Lesevorrichtung (20) assoziiert ist.
  13. System nach Anspruch 4 oder 14, ferner umfassend ein tragbares Gerät (80), das mindestens mit einem Übertragungsmodul (81) versehen ist, um die Überwachungsdaten (MD) an einen Hauptcomputer (100) zu senden.
  14. System nach Anspruch 13, wobei das Übertragungsmodul (81) zum Senden der Überwachungsdaten (MD) und der Erfassungsdaten (DD), welche die Struktur/en, auf die sich die Überwachungsdaten (MD) beziehen, identifizieren, zum Hauptcomputer (100) konfiguriert ist.
