- the dishwasher has an authorization unit which is designed to check whether the rinsing cycle number is valid for the dishwasher uniquely identified by the identification number and the key.
- the authorization unit is designed to enable the dishwasher for the number of rinsing cycles or to deactivate them in the case of negative identification cycles. to block authentication.
- time could be unlocked for which the dishwasher is lent (eg, 30 days).
- the rinsing cycles are given, for example in the form of encrypted codes, said Spülzyklenbon devisn to the tenants of the dishwasher.
- a specific Spülzyklenbon strig can thus be unlocked, for example, a specific dishwasher for the number of purging cycles purchased by the tenant.
- the SpülzykylbernNot can be any number and / or code that is digitally or analogously or encoded in any other way, which is limited only by the number of allowed rinse cycles can be deduced from it. It can be derived here that not only does the number of purging cycles be directly readable, but also that, for example, the rinsing cycle phrases encode the number of purging cycles in encrypted form.
- the rinsing cycle number can for example be generated independently over a network (such as the Internet), the network can be used at the same time for billing.
- the Spülzyklenbon strig is thus encrypted and valid only for the clearly identified by the identification number and the key dishwasher.
- abuse can not be ruled out, therefore abuse of an encrypted rinsing cycle bonus number can be restricted.
- the key may include a secret key and a general key, wherein the general key for several dishwashers are valid and the secret key is dishwasher specific (ie only valid for a dishwasher).
- secret and general keys of 32 bytes each (or 8 bits or 16 bits or 32 bits or 64 bits) are used. The keys used can also have a different bit length. Alternatively, other encryption methods can be used.
- the data entry unit is configured to prompt for a particular purge cycle number (SBN) to be entered, the data entry unit using the SBN number in a sequential order. This makes it possible to re-provide past (past) SBNs to the user when needed (e.g., if the SBN has been lost).
- SBN purge cycle number
- the data entry unit may be configured to read multiple rinse cycle vouchers at once
- the authorization unit may be configured, for example, to sequentially utilize the multiple rinse cycle vouchers to unlock or block the dishwashers. This makes it possible that with frequent use of the dishwasher (especially in commercial use) even larger amounts of rinse cycles can be unlocked at once and so the efficiency is increased (a permanent re-authorization is omitted).
- the data entry unit is adapted to receive a deactivation code and the authorization unit may be optionally configured to use the deactivation code to permanently unlock the dishwashers so that no additional purge cycle number is required for their operation.

- the method comprises a step 370 for generating rinsing cycles SBN for the further dishwasher 100a using the further key Sa, the rinsing cycle SBN being generated in such a way that a number of rinsing cycles are derivable from the rinsing cycle voucher number.
- the described methods are used in particular for commercial dishwashers to authorize commercial dishwashers for a certain number of rinses and to manage commercial dishwashers in a database 200.
- FIG. 4 shows an exemplary embodiment of the data input unit 120 of the dishwasher 100, which may comprise, for example, a touch screen (for example UC touch) or also a conventional keyboard.
- a touch screen for example UC touch
- a conventional keyboard for example
- the Spülzyklenbonnum contains, for example, in encrypted form, the number of rinsing cycles with which the dishwasher 100 is to be reloaded, with a SBN, for example, exactly one dishwasher 100 is reloaded with rinsing cycles once, so that for each additional recharge a new Spülzykylbennum must be generated.
- These new rinse cycle vouchers may be generated, for example, over the network (e.g., an Internet portal).
- After generating the SBN it is input to the dishwasher 100 using, for example, the data input unit 120 as shown in FIG.
- a landlord of dishwashers may access the exemplary Internet portal on which the purging cycles SBN are generated (database 200) and generate a purging cycle number for the dishwasher 100 for subsequent distribution to a tenant of the dishwasher 100.
- the rinsing cycle Subscription numbers can be forwarded electronically (eg by e-mail) or by telephone or via conventional mail.
- the SBNs may be consecutively numbered with an SBN number 410 and may consist of, for example, 12 hexadecimal numbers (or 8, 10, 14 digit decimal numbers) which may then be entered on the data entry unit 120 (such as on the lending machine touchscreen) become.
- the data input unit 120 may be configured to provide a particular SBN no. 410 for authorization to query.
- the data input unit 120 requests to input the SBN No. "37", which is then confirmed and input to the system via a confirmation key 420. Thereafter, the authorization unit 130 can confirm the correctness of the input Check SBN.
- each display / operating unit (data input unit 120) is assigned a unique and unchangeable display number 510.
- the display number 510 is permanently stored, for example, in the display and operating unit 120 and is available to a service technician on the dishwasher 100.
- each display number 510 may again include or be associated with an individual secret key 520 and a general key 530.
- the general key 530 is the same for all dishwashers 100, for example.
- the keys may be firmly stored in the display unit 120 and e.g. not be available on the dishwasher 100.
- FIG. 5 shows an exemplary assignment of display numbers 510, secret key 520 and general key 530.
- secret key 520 and general key 530 may each comprise 32 bytes.
- the given numerical values are only to be understood as examples.
- the display numbers 510 and both keys 520, 530 may also include 8 bits, 16 bits, 32 bits, 64 bits, or 128 bits or corresponding byte values (the bit lengths of the individual data may also be different).
- the display numbers 510 and the associated keys are generated, for example, by the manufacturer of the dishwasher 100 and transmitted to the producer who manufactures the display units (data input unit 120).
- the display producer stores, for example, the display number 510 and the associated keys 520, 530 in the display unit 120.
- the association between display number 510 and keys 520, 530 is also stored and managed, for example, in the database 200 of the manufacturer of the dishwasher 100.
- the display number 510 is read out at the test stand (optionally, it is only possible to read the display number 510) and stored together with a machine number 610 in the above-mentioned database 200. In this way, a clear association between the machine number 610, the display unit 120 and the stored therein display number 510 and the keys (secret key 520, 530 general key, etc.).
- Fig. 6 shows further details of how this process can be carried out by way of example.
- the manufacturer of the dishwashers generates data sets consisting of display number 510, secret key 520 and general key 530. These are then transmitted in a second step to the producer of the display unit 120 who stores these data records in the display unit 120, so that a secret key 520 and a general key 530 are stored for each display number 510.
- a respective display number with associated keys 520, 530 is permanently stored in the respective display unit 120.
- the display number 510 which is coupled to the keys 520 and 530, is connected to the respective machine number 610 of the dishwasher 100.
- each dishwasher 100 thus has a machine number 610, which in turn is uniquely associated with a display number 510 and an exemplary secret key 520 and a general key 530, respectively.
- the key numbers 520, 530 are, for example, 32-byte random number sequences, which are advantageously generated cryptographically secure. Therefore, the random function offered in many programming languages is advantageously not used, since the numbers thus generated only offer a low level of cryptographic security.
- the purging cycles may be generated in a database 200 using, for example, a network such as the Internet, for example.
- a network such as the Internet
- the dishwasher 100 which is intended for lending (lending machine).
- the lender of the machine In order to generate rinse cycle vouchers for the lending machine 100 in a network such as the Internet, the lender of the machine should register in a password protected and encrypted area of a central server (for example, the dishwasher manufacturer). In this password-protected area of the web server, for example, the lender receives access to a special landlord account (da- tenbank 200) where the dishwasher 100 can be registered to make it a lending machine. Since the protected area where the registration of the rental machine is, for example, the manufacturer, it is ensured that a dishwasher 100 is assigned to exactly one landlord, so that another landlord can produce no SBN for these dishwashers. The landlord can optionally be the user of the dishwasher.
- the protected area of the web server is thus the database 200, which can be reached, for example, via an Internet access.
- FIG. 7 shows an exemplary embodiment of how the access can be made concretely via an Internet portal.
- the landlord of the dishwasher first logs in on the Internet portal 700 in a first step 710.
- the registration of a new machine (dishwasher 100) is performed by entering the machine number 610 and the display number 510 of the new machine on the Internet portal 700.
- the unambiguous assignment of the machine number 610 and the display number 510 for a respective dishwasher 100 have already been ensured on the test bench of the manufacturer of the dishwashers 100.
- a display / control unit data input unit 120
- the display number 510 is then corrected by input, which can also be done via the Internet portal 700.
- FIG. 8 shows an exemplary generation of a purging cycle number SBN.
- the landlord logs in turn, for example, in a server or an Internet portal 800 and identifies (step 810).
- the Internet portals 700 and 800 can be identical can be optional but also be disconnected.
- the landlord may retrieve a rental machine registered in his name (step 820).
- the database 200 can display all the rental machines registered in its name together with the respective machine numbers 710.
- the landlord may then, for example, enter the number of rinse cycles to be allowed (step 830) and issue a new SBN (step 840).
- the output of the new SBN may, for example, comprise several parts: in a first part, the respective SBN number 410 (eg consisting of one, two or three digits) and subsequently the associated SBN, which has, for example, 10 or 12 decimal places, are output.
- the respective SBN number 410 eg consisting of one, two or three digits
- the associated SBN which has, for example, 10 or 12 decimal places
- the SBN can be consecutively numbered, for example, by means of the SBN numbers 410, so that the SBN number 410 has values between 0 and 99, wherein an SBN is assigned to each SBN number. Accordingly, the dishwasher 100 requests input of a particular SBN (e.g., using the SBN number 410).
- the landlord it is also possible for the landlord to retrieve SBN generated in the past (for example, the last 30 or the last 100 or the last 10), so that if an SBN was lost, the tenant resumes it with the landlord can be queried. If the SBNs are always calculated only forward and not backward, then SBN generated in the past can easily be stored without the risk of misuse. This makes handling easier for the user.
- the SBN can be transmitted in many ways to the tenant of the dishwasher 100 (eg electronically by e-mail or SMS or also by telephone or by letter).
- a rinsing cycle number SBN or as an identification number ID or as a key S any form of data or code suitable for storing said information can be used. Therefore, this can also be an account number, personal identification number or to act on other numbers. It can also be coded data or a mixture of numbers and letters.
- special codes are the deactivation code or the reset code. Documentation prevents in particular that, for example, repeated deactivation of the loan function or resetting of SBN for the same machine indicates misuse of the rental machine and can thus be prevented.
- the deactivation of the lending machine happen.
- a registration of the landlord via a login 810 on an exemplary Internet portal 900 which is optionally identical to the aforementioned Internet portals 700, 800.
- the landlord can in turn list his rental machines (step 820).
- the landlord may then have a deactivation code calculated at step 930.
- the deactivation code causes the registration of the machines to go out, so that after entering the deactivation code in the dishwasher 100, the dishwasher rinses without having to reload rinse cycles. In this case, no blocking takes place.
- the deactivation code as shown for example in step 940, may in turn comprise, for example, 10 digits (or 8 or 12 digits) which is then to be entered by the data input unit 120 on the dishwasher 100.
- the SBNs are generated by the Internet portal in a numbered order so that the customer is prompted by the dishwasher 100 to enter a particular SBN with a particular SBN number 410. If the customer once lost his SBN and it is no longer possible with the help of an Internet portal, required by the machine SBN, it can be achieved with the help of a reset code that again a very first SBN (for example, with the number 01 or 00) can be generated. The previous SBN are then eliminated (deleted from the list) and no longer matter. Thus, the dishwasher is reset to the initial state, as it has existed, for example, before entering the first SBN.
- the reset code can also be used in case all SBN numbers 410 have been used up.
- the landlord deposits a new display number 510 at the corresponding machine in the exemplary Internet portal 700 in the database 200.
- the calculation of the SBN then again depends on the new display number 510. For example, it can be checked whether the entered display number 510 exists and whether it is not assigned to another landlord. This again ensures an unambiguous assignment between display number 510 and dishwasher.
- the landlord database (database 200) is continuously maintained and monitored so that it can be intervened in case of misuse. This is facilitated by the fact that the administrator of the database 200 is able to find out, via a machine and display number, which landlord the machine is assigned to.
- Embodiments of the present invention also comprise a data carrier which has information such as the described rinsing cycle number from which the number of permitted rinsing cycles can be derived for a particular dishwasher or contains data from which the rinsing cycle number can be derived.
- embodiments of the invention may be implemented in hardware or in software.
- the implementation may be performed using a digital storage medium, such as a floppy disk, a DVD, a Blu-ray Disc, a CD, a ROM, a PROM, an EPROM, an EEPROM or a FLASH memory, a hard disk or other magnetic or optical storage are stored on the electronically readable control signals with a programmable Computer system can interact or cooperate such that the respective method is performed. Therefore, the digital storage medium can be computer readable.
- some embodiments according to the invention include a data carrier having electronically readable control signals capable of interacting with a programmable computer system such that one of the methods described herein is performed.
- embodiments of the present invention may be implemented as a computer program product having a program code, wherein the program code is operable to perform one of the methods when the computer program product runs on a computer.
- the program code can also be stored, for example, on a machine-readable carrier.
- an embodiment of the method according to the invention is thus a computer program which has a program code for performing one of the methods described herein when the computer program runs on a computer.
- a further embodiment of the inventive method is thus a data carrier (or a digital storage medium or a computer-readable medium) on which the computer program is recorded for carrying out one of the methods described herein.
