EP3348767B1 - Provisioning system for providing at least one drive parameters of a door system - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a provision system for providing at least one drive parameter of a door system. The invention also relates to a method and a computer program product.

Various designs for door systems are known from the prior art. The door system can comprise a hinged door, a sliding door, a (revolving) revolving door, or the like. It is also known that a drive unit can be provided in the door system in order to drive a door component (such as the door leaf) as a movable part of the door system for movement. In this way, the door component can be opened and closed (at least partially) automatically. In principle, such a drive for the door component can be used in all designs in order to at least partially automate and/or support the movement of the door component.

The door system is usually influenced directly or indirectly by various drive parameters. For example, drive parameters such as the frequency of use (use cycle) can be functionally relevant for the operation of the door. It is also possible that the drive parameters in a certain constellation lead to a functional impairment of the door system. Often, after a certain period of time or at a certain frequency of use, a Maintenance of the door system. It may also be possible that some of the drive parameters can be taken into account by manually configuring the door system, e.g. by programming a time for opening and/or closing the door system.

However, the operation of the door system often represents a technical challenge, in particular the maintenance and/or configuration of the door system is technically complex and time-consuming. For example, drive parameters such as error information must be determined on the door system at great expense. Furthermore, configuration specifications may have to be determined manually for programming and a device must then be connected to the door system for programming. Another problem is that the configuration specifications may be determined too imprecisely and/or inappropriately, particularly if it is difficult to adequately estimate the relevant drive parameters. In such a case, a conventional door system can therefore often only be used at great expense and/or with great technical complexity.

The font US 2016/0300415 A1 discloses an internet-based system for monitoring and remotely controlling a garage door, the system further comprising a position detector for determining the status of the door and a radio transmitter which transmits this status to a control module.

The font EN 10 2014 105 877 A1 discloses a socket receiver for the radio remote control of electrical building or fence closure drives, which is suitable for being upgraded or converted to a radio connection system, whereby the existing devices can thus also be upgraded or converted to modern radio standards with a larger range of functions.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to at least partially resolve the above problems. In particular, it is an object of the invention to enable improved and/or more cost-effective and/or simpler and/or more reliable operation of a door system.

The above object is achieved by a provisioning system having the features of claim 1, by a method having the features of claim 9 and by a computer program product having the features of claim 14.

Further features and details of the invention emerge from the respective subclaims, the description and the drawings. Features and details that are in the The information described in connection with the provision system according to the invention is of course also described in connection with the method according to the invention and the computer program product according to the invention and vice versa, so that with regard to the disclosure of the individual aspects of the invention, reference is always made to each other.

The object is achieved in particular by a provision system for providing at least one drive parameter of at least one door system according to claim 1.

  • ∘ at least one door component of the door system,
  • ∘ at least one drive unit of the door system,

The door system has the following components or units:

• at least one door component, in particular a door or a door leaf, wherein the door component is preferably movably mounted,
• at least one drive unit, wherein the drive unit is operatively connected to the door component in order to bring the door component into at least one movement state in order to carry out at least one door function,
• at least one detection unit for determining at least one drive parameter, wherein the drive parameter is correlated with the door function,
• at least one control unit for controlling (ie in particular initiating and/or controlling and/or regulating) at least the drive unit and/or at least the door function,
• at least one transmission unit for sending and/or transmitting and/or receiving information, in particular the at least one drive parameter determined by the recognition unit.

Inside or outside the door system, a communication unit is provided in a provisioning system, which is designed for wirelessly receiving and/or transmitting the at least one drive parameter transmitted or received (by the transmission unit) (e.g. through a communication interface of the communication unit).

According to the invention, the communication unit is designed to transmit (e.g. wirelessly) the at least one drive parameter transmitted by the transmission unit and/or received by the communication unit to a storage system remote from the door system, at least partially via Radio, so that the transmitted drive parameter can be provided remotely from the door system. This has the advantage that the drive parameter can be provided outside the door system in a technically simple and cost-effective manner. Another advantage is that the transmission unit can be designed to be technically simpler than the communication unit, so that only the communication unit needs to be adapted to use new communication technologies.

In particular, "wireless" (also: wireless) is understood to mean that at least partially a radio (communication or transmission) technology is used, i.e., for example, a transmission and/or sending and/or receiving is carried out at least partially via radio. In other words, in a wireless transmission (of data), at least part of the transmission technologies used can be implemented as radio technology, even if, for example, several transmission technologies are used (for example, in the transmission from the communication unit via WLAN to the access point and then, for example, via cable to the storage system). In particular, a wireless design refers only to at least part of a transmission path, for example the (air) transmission path, via which radio waves, i.e. electromagnetic waves and in particular modulated electromagnetic waves, are transmitted. The radio technology or at least one of the technologies used for transmission can be implemented, for example, as Bluetooth, in particular Bluetooth Low Energy, or as near field communication (NFC) or as a wireless local area network (WLAN) or the like. The radio technology may also have several include different radio technologies, which can be used in parallel or serially, for example.

It may be possible for a communication interface of the communication unit to be provided for (possibly wirelessly) receiving and/or transmitting information, such as the at least one drive parameter, from or to the transmission unit. The communication interface is designed, for example, as a radio communication interface, in particular as a Bluetooth communication interface and/or WLAN communication interface and/or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication interface and/or as a mobile radio communication interface.

• Bluetooth, insbesondere BLE,
• WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network),
• Mobilfunk, insbesondere UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) oder LTE (Long Term Evolution) oder dergleichen,
• Ethernet,
• NFC (Near Field Communication).

Preferably, the communication interface of the communication unit is designed to at least partially provide and/or implement at least one of the following communication technologies:

• Bluetooth, especially BLE,
• WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network),
• Mobile communications, in particular UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) or LTE (Long Term Evolution) or the like,
• Ethernet-,
• NFC (Near Field Communication).

The communication interface can be suitable for (possibly wireless) communication via the corresponding communication technology, in particular for (data) connection, with the transmission unit, in particular an interface element of the transmission unit. Accordingly, the transmission unit, in particular the interface element must also be designed to at least partially provide and/or implement the communication technology of the communication interface. This enables simple and secure transmission of information. The implementation of the communication technology or the at least partial provision also includes the case that further components outside the interface element or the communication interface (such as a power source, an antenna or the like) may be necessary for complete provision.

The door component can preferably be brought into at least one movement state, for example to carry out a movement from a first state to a second state (or vice versa). The first state can be, for example, an open state and the second state can be, for example, a closed state of the door component. Thus, a first movement process is, for example, opening the door component and a second movement process is, for example, closing the door component. For example, the closed state serves to close a passage (in particular for people) and/or the open state serves to clear a passage (for people, in particular to walk through). Thus, the door component can preferably be designed as a movable door leaf of a pedestrian door. The door system is designed in particular as an automatic door system and/or pedestrian door system. This enables the provision of a large number of door functions, which can be carried out at least partially automatically depending on a configuration.

The door component is in (e.g. mechanical) operative connection with the drive unit, so that the drive unit Transfer to the movement state (ie the movement or the movement process) of the door component. For this purpose, the drive unit comprises, for example, at least one (electric) motor or the like. It is also conceivable that at least one further motor is provided in the drive unit, or possibly at least one further drive unit, for example to control a lock and/or a locking mechanism of the door component. The control unit can also control at least one further component of the door system to carry out a door function, for example an electromagnet or a camera or lighting or the like. This enables extensive automation in the door system.

• Anschlagtür (Schwenktür), wobei vorzugsweise die Türkomponente schwenkbar ausgeführt ist,
• Schiebetür, wobei vorzugsweise die Türkomponente verschiebbar ausgeführt ist,
• Schwenkschiebetür, wobei vorzugsweise die Türkomponente sowohl verschiebbar als auch schwenkbar ausgeführt ist,
• Falttür,
• (Karussell-) Drehtür, wobei die Türkomponente drehbar ausgeführt ist und/oder fest mit einem drehbar gelagerten Verbindungselement verbunden ist.

The door system, in particular the door component, can, for example, have at least one of the following door designs or be designed according to these door designs:

• Hinged door (swing door), whereby the door component is preferably designed to be pivotable,
• Sliding door, wherein the door component is preferably designed to be movable,
• Pivoting sliding door, wherein the door component is preferably designed to be both sliding and pivoting,
• folding door,
• (Revolving) revolving door, wherein the door component is designed to be rotatable and/or is firmly connected to a rotatably mounted connecting element.

Preferably, the door component (or at least one of the door components of the door system(s)) can also be used as a personal door and/or fire door and/or external door and/or Interior door and/or front door and/or smoke protection door and/or burglar-resistant door and/or security door and/or room door (each e.g. of a building or a house).

Furthermore, a door component in the broader sense can also be understood as a gate, although the door component in the narrower sense is not designed as a gate. The same applies to the door system, which in the broader sense can have a gate, but not in the narrower sense, i.e. in other words, is designed without a gate.

In particular, several door components of the same or different designs can be provided in the door system and/or in a building in order to provide extensive automation options. For example, the door components can be controlled, in particular moved and/or locked, in dependence on one another based on the configuration and/or the drive parameters and/or the control unit. In this way, complex door functions, such as a lock function, can advantageously be provided.

• wenigstens eine Speicherkomponente, bspw. ein nicht-flüchtiger Datenspeicher,
• wenigstens eine Sensorkomponente, bspw. ein elektronischer Sensor,
• wenigstens eine Empfangskomponente, bspw. eine Antenne oder ein Funkempfänger,
• wenigstens eine Zählerkomponente zur Zählung eines Nutzungszyklus der Türkomponente,
• wenigstens eine Verarbeitungskomponente, bspw. ein integrierter Schaltkreis oder ein Mikroprozessor oder Mikrocontroller oder dergleichen,
• wenigstens eine Ortungskomponente, bspw. ein GPS-Sensor (Global Positioning System Sensor).

It is further conceivable that the detection unit has at least one electronic component and/or at least one of the following components, each of which can be designed as an electronic component:

• at least one memory component, e.g. a non-volatile data memory,
• at least one sensor component, e.g. an electronic sensor,
• at least one receiving component, e.g. an antenna or a radio receiver,
• at least one counter component for counting a usage cycle of the door component,
• at least one processing component, e.g. an integrated circuit or a microprocessor or microcontroller or the like,
• at least one positioning component, e.g. a GPS sensor (Global Positioning System sensor).

It is thus possible for the detection unit to be designed to detect the at least one drive parameter, i.e. in particular to determine the at least one drive parameter, preferably to record and/or collect and/or measure it.

For example, the sensor component can be used to carry out a measurement and/or detection of the drive unit and/or the door component. For this purpose, the sensor component is preferably arranged in the area of the drive unit and/or door component and/or aligned with it. For example, the sensor component can measure a speed of a drive and/or output shaft of the drive unit and/or a duration of the movement of the door component from a first state to a second state (i.e. a movement process). It can also be possible to determine a usage cycle of the door system based on the detection of the sensor component. The usage cycle is dependent, for example, on each individual movement process from the first to the second state (e.g. opening and closing the door component) or on a combination of the movement processes (e.g. opening and subsequent closing are counted). This means that The advantage can be achieved that the stress and, if necessary, the maintenance status of the door system can be determined.

Furthermore, it may be possible for the detection unit, in particular at least one sensor component of the detection unit, to carry out a current and/or voltage measurement on the door system, in particular on the drive unit, so that the drive parameter is determined based on the current and/or voltage measurement. For example, a measured value of the measurement is compared with at least one limit value, so that the drive parameter preferably includes information about the measured value exceeding the limit value. For example, the measurement indicates a critical operating state or stress state of the door system, so that this can be recognized early, in particular based on the drive parameter. The drive parameter can be specific to a result of this measurement.

Optionally, the sensor component and/or the processing component and/or the receiving component of the detection unit are each designed as electronic components, which are arranged on a circuit board and/or are at least partially electrically connected to one another via conductor tracks. The processing component is designed as an integrated circuit, e.g. as a microcontroller, in order to carry out processing and/or determination of the drive parameter quickly and efficiently.

• Resistiver Sensor, bspw. mit einem temperaturabhängigen (elektrischen) Widerstand zur Temperaturmessung,
• Optischer Sensor, bspw. mit wenigstens einer Photodiode und/oder wenigstens einem Kamerasensor (z. B. CCD-Sensor),
• Akustischer Sensor, bspw. als Mikrophon,
• Magnetischer Sensor, bspw. als Hall-Sensor,
• Induktiver Sensor,
• Kapazitiver Sensor,
• Thermoelektrischer Sensor.

It may be possible that the at least one sensor component is designed according to at least one of the following sensor types:

• Resistive sensor, e.g. with a temperature-dependent (electrical) resistance for temperature measurement,
• Optical sensor, e.g. with at least one photodiode and/or at least one camera sensor (e.g. CCD sensor),
• Acoustic sensor, e.g. as a microphone,
• Magnetic sensor, e.g. as a Hall sensor,
• Inductive sensor,
• Capacitive sensor,
• Thermoelectric sensor.

This advantageously enables the determination of drive parameters based on the detection results of the sensor component(s), which can be evaluated if necessary, in particular compared with each other, in order to draw conclusions about complex relationships based on the drive parameters. This evaluation can be carried out, for example, by the storage system or, based on the storage system, by a data processing system.

• wenigstens eine Antennenkomponente,
• wenigstens eine (De-) Modulationskomponente, insbesondere zur Kommunikation bzw. zum Demodulieren von (mit der Antennenkomponente) empfangenen Signalen bzw. Nachrichten,
• wenigstens ein Verstärkerelement zum Verstärken von empfangenen Signalen.

Furthermore, it may be possible for the recognition unit to have at least one receiving component, which for example comprises at least one of the following elements:

• at least one antenna component,
• at least one (de-)modulation component, in particular for communicating or demodulating signals or messages received (with the antenna component),
• at least one amplifier element for amplifying received signals.

The receiving component can, for example, comprise an internet interface and/or a radio interface, in particular a Bluetooth and/or mobile radio interface, and/or a (straight-ahead) receiver for receiving a time signal (e.g. DCF77). Furthermore, it is conceivable that a signal received by the receiving component and/or processed by the detection unit comprises at least one internet signal (e.g. data packets) and/or at least one time signal and/or at least one radio signal (Bluetooth and/or mobile radio communication signal). The drive parameters can thus preferably be determined based on the processed signal. It is also possible for the detection unit, in particular the receiving component, to receive and/or process different signals and/or messages, in particular of different types (e.g. time signals and internet signals). These different signals/messages can then be used, for example, to determine a single or different drive parameters. Optionally, a link and/or a comparison of the signals/messages can be carried out in order to determine drive parameters with high relevance for the operation of the door system.

It may advantageously be possible for the detection unit to determine the drive parameter based on a location signal of a location component and/or a network or Internet signal (i.e., for example, via Internet communication), for example as weather information (e.g. temperature and/or wind) and/or (geographical) location information and/or time information and/or the like. This information, in particular the weather information, can also optionally be compared with further information (e.g. geographic location information of the location component). For example, by determining the location information, the Door system can be located, ie the location of the detection unit can be determined. This information can be used, for example, to determine at least one drive parameter depending on the location and/or the weather and/or the time and thus advantageously operate and/or program the drive unit depending on this drive parameter. This makes it possible, for example, to keep the door component (permanently) closed or locked at certain times of the day or days of the week. On the other hand, for example, on other days of the week or at other times of the day, the door component can be kept (permanently) open.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that the recognition unit determines the drive parameter from a storage component, e.g. as a serial number or identifier, which is specific to the door system and/or is uniquely assigned to it. This enables the door system to be clearly identified using the corresponding drive parameter. For this purpose, for example (after a successful transmission), the drive parameter can also be compared with other (predetermined) data in a storage system remote from the door system. It is also conceivable that the identifier or the data in the storage component is at least partially cryptographically secured in order to prevent manipulation of the data.

It is also conceivable that the detection unit carries out communication with the communication unit to determine the Internet signal and/or further information to determine the drive parameter. This communication is, for example, communication via the transmission unit, e.g. as radio, in particular Bluetooth communication, or via an additional communication unit (e.g. also on the door system side). This makes it possible for information from the Communication unit, e.g. Internet information or the like, can be used by the recognition unit to determine the drive parameter.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the transmission unit (of the door system) is designed for (possibly wireless) communication with the communication unit and/or with at least one further communication unit and/or communication device and/or with further transmission units (of other door systems). In particular, this communication is designed as unidirectional or bidirectional communication. For example, it can be possible for the transmission unit to be (only or at least partially) provided to transmit the drive parameter (at least one and possibly determined by the recognition unit) to the communication unit. Alternatively or additionally, it can also be possible for the transmission unit to receive at least one piece of information, preferably drive information, from the communication unit. For example, drive information, in particular drive parameters or other information relevant to the drive of the door component, can be transmitted in this way from the communication unit to the transmission unit, and the drive unit can then preferably be operated based on the transmitted drive information. For example, this drive information is also used to program the drive unit or the like. This can significantly simplify the operation of the door system.

It may be possible for the transmission unit to be designed as a radio interface device, preferably as a mobile radio or Bluetooth interface device, particularly preferably as a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface device. In other words, it may be possible be that the transmission unit has a (first) interface element which is designed to carry out radio communication, in particular mobile radio or Bluetooth, preferably BLE, preferably for sending and/or receiving the at least one drive parameter. It may also be possible for the transmission unit to be designed to communicate with a further transmission unit of at least one further door system, in particular in the same property or in a further property, so that networking of the door systems is possible. For this networking, the transmission unit can, for example, also use the (first) interface element or a further (second) interface element, e.g. for a different communication technology, possibly network communication (e.g. mobile radio communication). Flexible communication options can thus be created.

It may be possible for the transmission unit to have the detection unit and/or another detection unit in order to determine the (or at least one other) drive parameter. Alternatively or additionally, connection information via a transmission (sending/receiving) of the transmission unit can also be used as a drive parameter. For example, this drive parameter can be transmitted to the storage system.

For example, a first door system can have a first transmission unit and can communicate directly or immediately with the communication unit (if necessary wirelessly) (e.g. to transmit the drive parameters of the first door system). A second door system can, for example, have a second transmission unit in order to communicate with the first transmission unit via the second transmission unit. of the first door system, in particular for transmitting drive parameters of the second door system. It may also be possible for further door systems to be provided with further transmission units in order to communicate with the first transmission unit of the first door system, in particular for transmitting respective drive parameters to the communication unit. This makes it possible to create a comprehensive and flexibly installable infrastructure for networking different door systems (with respective door components). The transmission units can, for example, be designed identically and/or each have a second interface element for communicating with one another and/or it may be possible for only the first transmission unit to have the (first) interface element for communicating with the communication unit.

As a further possibility for networking the door systems, it is conceivable that at least two or three or four or more door systems are provided, each of which has a transmission unit. It may be possible for one or more of the door systems to communicate (directly) with the communication unit (if necessary wirelessly) or to be able to communicate (i.e. to send, receive and/or transmit information to the communication unit, e.g. drive parameters). It may also be possible for a (if necessary wireless) transmission of information, such as drive parameters, to be carried out between different transmission units of at least two or more of the door systems, i.e. the door systems are networked via the transmission units. In this way, the communication of at least one of the transmission units of at least one of the door systems with the communication unit can also be used by other door systems, in particular to transmit specific drive parameters. It may also be possible for the communication of at least one of the door systems with the communication unit, the other door systems can also be controlled by the communication unit (e.g. controlled and/or configured), and thus in particular bidirectional communication takes place. For example, it may be possible that if the communication unit is located near one of the transmission units of the door systems, communication of the communication unit via this transmission unit with all of the networked door systems is possible.

It is also conceivable that the door system (or at least one of the door systems in the case of several door systems) has the communication unit in addition to or instead of the transmission unit. For example, transmission units of the other door systems can then connect to the communication unit in order to transmit drive parameters to the storage system (possibly wirelessly). The communication unit can preferably be integrated into the door system, in particular originally, or retrofitted later. This has the advantage that only one of the door systems needs to be equipped with the interface element of the transmission unit, and yet all door systems can transmit drive parameters to the storage system, so that the costs and complexity of the overall system can be reduced.

Preferably, the communication unit can be integrated in the door system (or in at least one of the door systems) or can be designed separately from the door system, for example in a portable manner. Preferably, the communication unit (which may be integrated in the door system or designed in a portable manner) differs from the transmission unit (or transmission units) of the door system in that the Communication unit has at least one (relative to the communication technology) different transmission interface, in particular radio transmission interface, compared to the transmission unit.

For example, the communication unit comprises a radio transmission interface, which can be designed, for example, as a mobile radio interface or WLAN interface in order to establish a data connection to a network. In particular, the transmission unit may not be suitable for implementing this communication technology of the communication unit, such as mobile radio communication and/or WLAN communication. This can reduce the manufacturing effort of the door system and/or the transmission unit, since one or more door systems can use the data connection of the communication unit.

It is also essential to the invention that the transmission unit (and/or communication unit and/or communication device) is designed to be retrofittable, as a retrofit means, preferably as an adapter stick, in particular a Bluetooth stick or the like.

This retrofit device (e.g. as a Bluetooth stick) is connected to the door system (electrically and/or electronically and/or mechanically, in particular via a connection or a connection interface element) after the first complete assembly of the door system. The transmission unit provides a first communication technology for the door system, in particular via an interface element, e.g. radio communication, preferably Bluetooth or BLE, in order to communicate with the communication unit and/or send out the drive parameters. This makes it possible to use existing Door systems can also be retrofitted with the corresponding communication capability of the first communication technology at low cost, and the door system can thus be made capable of communication in a simple manner. Furthermore, through communication with the communication unit or through the transmission of the drive parameter by the communication unit, a second communication technology of the communication unit can also be used, for example a WLAN or mobile radio communication, which differs in particular from the first communication technology. In particular, the door system does not originally and/or outside the transmission unit provide either the first or the second communication technology. This means that by using the transmission unit, it is possible to In this way, the door system can be expanded to include at least the first (direct) and, if necessary, the second communication technology indirectly. In other words, the transmission unit can also be used as an adapter for the door system to communicate with the communication unit.

Preferably, it may be possible for a communication range of the transmission unit, in particular of a radio interface of the transmission unit, to be a maximum of 50 m or a maximum of 20 m or a maximum of 10 m or a maximum of 5 m. This makes it possible to ensure energy-saving communication (e.g. via BLE) and/or increased security.

It is also conceivable that a retrofit, preferably the transmission unit, particularly preferably as an adapter and/or Bluetooth stick, is or will be connected to the door system (subsequently and/or detachably) to expand its functionality. In this way, already installed or older door systems can also be equipped with a transmission unit. For example, the retrofit can be used to provide a communication method or transmission method, e.g. for transmitting (drive) information, such as at least one drive parameter, via Bluetooth.

It is also conceivable that this transmitted (drive) information is used to carry out a control (i.e., for example, control and/or regulation and/or configuration, such as programming) of the door system, in particular the drive unit. Optionally, a (possibly electro-) mechanical switching device, in particular a key switch or the like, can also be provided for such a control (originally, i.e. since the first installation).

It is conceivable that the door system has a (mechanical) switching device for (manual) control and/or operation of the door system, in particular for operation by a user, preferably by using a mechanical key. It may be possible that when a retrofit device, in particular the transmission unit, is connected to the door system, the switching device of the door system is taken out of operation (deactivated) in order to prevent (manual) control of the switching device. This has the advantage that control can then only be carried out via the retrofit device or via the information transmitted thereby. Optionally, manual control can still be provided, e.g. by transmitting information from a communication unit to the transmission unit, whereby the information may be determined and/or influenced by an operator of the communication unit (e.g. via a smartphone app). The transmitted information, in particular drive information, is then used, for example, to control the drive unit and/or to configure (e.g. program) the door system.

For example, it may be provided that at least partially automatic and/or manual operation, in particular a Configuration and/or control of the door system, in particular the drive unit and/or a door function and/or the door component, is carried out using drive information. The drive information includes, for example, information determined by an operator and/or at least one drive parameter and/or information determined using at least one drive parameter (e.g. configurations that were generated using the drive parameters of the storage system). For example, the drive information is transmitted from the communication unit to the transmission unit and/or determined by the transmission unit and/or determined by the control unit.

It may be possible, for example, for an operator to use the communication unit via a computer program, in particular an app, e.g. smartphone app or computer app or the like. The computer program is executed, for example, on the communication unit in order to influence the operation of the door system and/or evaluate drive parameters. This enables particularly convenient operation and/or configuration of the door system. Depending on at least one operator input and/or at least one of the drive parameters, drive information can then be determined and/or transmitted to the door system, in particular the transmission unit (if necessary wirelessly). If necessary, the drive information is then transmitted from the transmission unit to the control unit of the door system. The drive information is then evaluated, for example, by the transmission unit and/or by the control unit and, if necessary, the drive unit is controlled depending on this evaluation. For example, when a first drive information is transmitted and/or evaluated, the door component can be opened and when a second drive information is transmitted and/or evaluated, the door component can be opened. second drive information, which differs from the first drive information, the door component can be closed. The drive information can also be used to determine a configuration or programming of the door system. This enables simple operation of the door system.

A configuration, in particular a programming, for the door system includes, for example, information and/or parameters for an operating behavior of the door system, for example whether and/or when and/or in which mode certain door functions are carried out, preferably whether and at what times at least one specific movement process of the door component should be carried out (for example an opening at a first time of day or week or a closing at a second time of day or week). Advantageously, the configuration can also include information at what times and/or for what duration the door component should be (fully) closed or opened. Furthermore, it is also conceivable, possibly as a further door function, that a movement behavior, e.g. closing or opening, can be parameterized via the configuration (e.g. the opening or closing speed or the opening or closing acceleration or the like). Further programming is also conceivable in order to be able to activate certain door functions (e.g. time- or event-controlled) and/or to specify an authentication requirement for a door function. For example, at least one specific door function can only be executed if authentication is successful.

Furthermore, a mode can also be determined by the configuration. The mode can be, for example, a time-controlled or an event-controlled or a manual or a remote-controlled mode. In the remote-controlled mode, it is conceivable that drive information is transmitted by transmitting information to the transmission unit, e.g. via the Internet and/or the communication unit, and in particular the door system is controlled based on the transmitted drive information. In the manual mode, for example, drive information specified by a user on the communication unit and transmitted by the communication unit can be used for control. A combination of different modes can also be configured if necessary. This enables flexible and adaptable operation of the door system.

The door functions include, for example, certain movement processes that are carried out in a certain way and/or depending on specifications (such as authentication depending on an authentication specification, such as a password or the like). Furthermore, it may be possible for configurations and/or door functions to be provided that cause a state of the door component to be maintained (e.g. maintaining the open or closed state). In particular, it may be useful to carry out the door functions depending on the drive parameters (e.g. keeping the door component completely closed at certain times). This has the advantage that the door system can be designed to be flexible and comprehensively configurable.

It may be possible that certain configurations and/or door functions cause a complete lock and/or a one-sided lock (so that, for example, the door component can only be opened from one side). This can be achieved, for example, by coupling a door handle (door handle) of the door component can be controlled (e.g. controlled) with a lock of the door component depending on the configuration and/or door function, e.g. in such a way that only the operation of a door handle on one of the sides of the door component (i.e. one-sided operation) leads to the operation of the lock, in particular a lock latch. This can, for example, provide a function that is useful for many applications of the door system, e.g. for exit doors that should only allow one-sided opening from the inside, but not entry from the outside.

In order to detect or determine the at least one drive parameter, it can be provided that the detection unit receives and/or evaluates signals, for example electrical signals from at least one sensor component and/or received signals from a communication connection, for example Internet data, for example by a receiving component of the detection unit. It can be possible that these drive parameters are at least partially already originally collected by the door system and/or provided by an originally existing interface. Drive parameters which are originally collected by the door system through the detection unit can include, for example, a usage cycle (for example as a cycle number, i.e., for example, a count of the movement processes, such as opening and/or closing processes) and/or an operating time and/or an identifier (such as a serial number) and/or a configuration (such as programming of the door system) and/or an operating log (usage log) and/or at least one error information and/or the like. In addition, it may be possible that other drive parameters are determined, possibly by other devices or from other sources than the Recognition unit (such as image information from a camera sensor in the communication unit, which can then be transmitted to the transmission unit, possibly wirelessly). This allows extensive information to be used to determine the drive parameters.

It is also conceivable that at least one interface element of the transmission unit is provided for sending and/or transmitting the drive parameters (determined by the detection unit) to the communication unit (and/or from the communication unit to the detection unit and/or to the control unit of the door system). The interface element serves, for example, to send information (in particular drive parameters) to the communication unit and/or to receive it from the communication unit. The interface element can thus be designed as a unidirectional or bidirectional communication interface element, so that information can be transmitted in only one or two directions. Furthermore, a further interface means or another interface element can optionally be provided in order to transmit information, such as the drive parameters, to other components of the door system or to other door systems (possibly wirelessly) and/or to receive them from them. The other components include, for example, the detection unit and/or the control unit. It can also be possible for the transmission unit to include a storage element in order to store the information (such as the drive parameters) persistently or temporarily. In particular, retrofitting the transmission unit is made possible by adapting the transmission unit to an interface that is already present in the door system, e.g. a maintenance interface or the like, and/or by connecting it to this (electrically) connected, in particular via a connection interface element.

Optionally, the transmission unit can have a memory element for storing at least one drive parameter. The memory element can be designed as a non-volatile data memory, for example as a flash memory. It can also be possible for the transmission unit to have a processing element in order to carry out processing and/or evaluation and/or analysis of the at least one drive parameter. Accordingly, the transmission unit can be designed as an "intelligent" transmission unit, and thus a large number of functions can be easily integrated into the door system. This means that the range of functions of the door system can be significantly expanded in a cost-effective and technically simple manner. Alternatively, it can also be possible for the transmission unit to be designed without a memory element (or the memory element may only be intended for intermediate storage), so that the transmission unit only transmits data. In this case, it is possible, for example, for a large part of the processing (e.g. for evaluation or further transmission of the drive parameter to the storage system) to be carried out by the communication unit. This can further reduce the effort required to produce the transmission unit.

Preferably, the door system and/or the transmission unit can be retrofitted in such a way that the door system without the transmission unit has no network and/or Bluetooth communication capability and/or only an outdated (ie lower version) communication capability compared to the transmission unit and/or only a wired Communication capability. Accordingly, it may be possible for the transmission unit to expand the communication capability of the door system when integrated into the door system. To do this, the transmission unit can, for example, be connected to an interface of the door system that is specially provided for the transmission unit and is therefore specific to the transmission unit. Such an interface can, for example, be provided in the control unit. It may also be possible for the transmission unit to be connected to an existing interface of the door system (not specific to the transmission unit), e.g. a bus and/or network and/or serial interface of a communication capability already present in the door system. This can have the advantage that the transmission unit uses an existing (possibly technically less flexible, e.g. wired) interface of the door system and expands this in a technically simpler way with another interface (i.e. an interface element that is possibly a technically more flexible interface, such as a radio interface).

Preferably, the transmission unit can have a processing element and/or a storage element in order to carry out a complex processing of the data transmitted (in particular via the interface), for example a conversion into drive parameters or into a specific (digital) format of the drive parameters. Alternatively, it can also be possible for the transmission unit to be designed without a memory and/or processing element and/or to carry out no processing of the transmitted data and/or to carry out no conversion of the transmitted data which is not only necessary at a transmission protocol level (ie there is no change in the information or user data to be transmitted). In other words, the transmission unit can also only carry out a transmission of user data (e.g. the drive parameter) that cannot be changed, e.g. from the (original) interface of the door system to the interface element of the transmission unit, so that the drive parameter can be sent from there.

It may also be possible for the transmission unit to have sensors, such as the detection unit, to determine the drive parameters, for example. This means that (at least some) of the drive parameters to be sent can be determined by the transmission unit itself. This may also increase the expandability of the door system if the transmission unit can also provide additional sensors.

Furthermore, it may also be possible for the communication unit to have at least one data storage device and/or at least one processing means, e.g. an integrated circuit and/or processor, in order to preferably store and/or process and/or evaluate the at least one drive parameter. For example, the stored drive parameters can be analyzed for this purpose, e.g. via an app of the communication unit. The data storage device is used, for example, for the persistent storage of the at least one drive parameter. Alternatively, the data storage device can only be used to temporarily store the drive parameter or not store it at all, so that the communication unit only serves to transmit the drive parameter to the storage system. This enables an improvement in the transmission of the drive parameters in particular.

A particular advantage can result from the fact that the at least one (specific) drive parameter is not directly determined by the door system or the recognition unit of the door system to the storage system remote from the door system, but can be transmitted via the transmission unit and/or via the communication unit (if necessary wirelessly). In particular, this allows the door system to be designed particularly simply and inexpensively, since no complex electronics or interface for transmitting the drive parameter directly to the storage system in the recognition unit or door system need to be provided. Such electronics/interfaces must, for example, carry out complex network and/or Internet communication for data transmission if the storage system can only be reached by the door system via a network (local area network, ie LAN, or wireless LAN or mobile network or Internet). This drastically increases the effort involved in manufacturing and assembling the door system, as well as the complexity and energy consumption. On the other hand, the transmission (ie in particular the sending) of the at least one drive parameter via or through the transmission unit to the communication unit can be carried out in a technically simpler and more energy-efficient manner. For example, the transmission unit can use BLE to carry out the transmission to the communication unit. The further transmission of at least one drive parameter is then carried out by the communication unit. Since the communication unit can be, for example, a device that is already being used by an operator and/or is already connected to the network, in particular the Internet and/or mobile network, this can result in significant energy savings or savings in technical expenditure. For example, the communication unit is designed as an operator's smartphone and/or includes a computer program that is adapted for the transmission and/or to the door system and/or to the transmission unit.

A further advantage can arise from the fact that the at least one (specific) drive parameter does not have to be transmitted directly from the door system or the recognition unit of the door system to the communication unit, but is transmitted to the communication unit via the transmission unit. This enables, for example, the door system to be easily retrofitted or adapted with the transmission unit.

It may also be possible for several door systems and/or transmission units to be designed to transmit the at least one drive parameter and/or further information to (at least or exactly) one (single) communication unit. In particular, it may be possible for the communication unit to have connection information for several door systems and/or transmission units. This has the advantage that these several door systems and/or transmission units can jointly use the one communication unit to transmit information (such as the at least one drive parameter) to the storage system. This can also result in further cost and/or energy savings. It may also be possible for (only) one of the door systems to have the communication unit (e.g. permanently integrated) and/or to be connected to such a unit. It may also be possible for the communication unit to be designed as a portable communication unit and may need to be brought close to the respective door systems and/or transmission units for transmission.

In particular, it can be provided that the at least one drive parameter is changed cyclically and/or at irregular intervals, e.g. a maximum of once a day (or a maximum of every second or third day), in particular via the transmission unit and/or communication unit, to the storage system. This has the advantage that the communication unit does not have to be permanently connected to the storage system, so that further energy savings are possible. For example, it can be provided that a transmission of the drive parameter (i.e., if necessary, a transmission of the drive parameter or of all specific and possibly temporarily stored drive parameters by the transmission unit) only takes place at certain times or when certain events occur and/or at certain time intervals and/or only when the communication unit is within communication range of the transmission unit. For example, it can therefore also be possible for the transmission unit to have a storage element in order to temporarily store the drive parameters (determined by the recognition unit) until they are transmitted. This can further improve energy efficiency.

It is conceivable that the communication unit and/or at least one further communication unit is designed as a mobile radio communication unit, in particular as a mobile phone, and/or as a smartphone and/or as a smartwatch and/or as a wearable (wearable computer) and/or as a computer and/or as a laptop and/or as part of a further door system. The communication unit preferably comprises at least one sensor, for example a location sensor (e.g. GPS sensor) and/or an acceleration sensor and/or a camera sensor and/or an acoustic sensor.

It can be provided that the communication unit (or at least one of the communication units), in particular the at least one sensor of the communication unit is used to determine the at least one drive parameter. For example, it may be possible for the detection unit of the door system to be provided for determining first drive parameters and the communication unit for determining second drive parameters, wherein the first and second drive parameters differ from one another. For example, the at least one drive parameter determined by the communication unit(s) can be transmitted to the door system and/or to the storage system via wireless data transmission and, if necessary, temporarily stored in the door system and/or in the communication unit before the (respective) transmission. Preferably, the at least one drive parameter can be determined by the communication unit by detecting it using at least one sensor and/or retrieving information, for example via an Internet connection (e.g. weather data) and/or via a user interface (e.g. from a user input).

Furthermore, it may be possible for the communication unit to have at least one transmission interface, preferably a radio transmission interface, in particular a mobile radio communication interface and/or WLAN and/or Bluetooth interface. Preferably, the transmission interface can be designed to carry out the transmission of the at least one received drive parameter (at least partially via radio and/or wirelessly). In particular, the (possibly wireless) transmission of the (at least one received) drive parameter takes place at least partially via radio to a storage system remote from the door system, in particular to a database remote from the door system, so that preferably the transmitted drive parameter can be made available remotely from the door system (via the storage system).

It can be provided that the communication unit is operated by a computer program, wherein the computer program is stored persistently, for example, in a data memory of the communication unit. In particular, the computer program can be designed as a smartphone app. The computer program serves, for example, to evaluate the received drive parameters and/or to initiate the transmission to the storage system and/or to the transmission unit of the door system.

Preferably, the communication unit, in particular the computer program, can have one or more connection information for one or more transmission units or door systems. For example, several connection information items can be provided, each of which enables the connection to different door systems and/or is assigned to different door components or door systems. Preferably, the respective connection information can have been determined during an initial connection process, in particular a Bluetooth pairing, between the communication unit and a respective transmission unit (possibly a respective or single door system). The computer program can thus manage the connection to several transmission units and/or door systems in order to receive drive parameters from these respective transmission units or door systems and/or transmit them to the storage system. In particular, a secure connection can thus be guaranteed.

Preferably, the transmission unit can have (door system-side) connection information and/or a security feature, wherein the connection information and/or the security feature is particularly preferably stored (persistently) in a memory element of the transmission unit. For example, the connection information and/or the security feature of the transmission unit comprises at least one identifier and/or at least one key and/or at least one password and/or the like.

It may be possible for the connection information to be at least partially determined, in particular generated, during a (possibly first) connection with the communication unit (initial connection process), for example based on the security feature as a fixed security feature. Preferably, a first (door system-side) connection information of the transmission unit is provided, and a second (communication unit-side) connection information of the communication unit is provided. For example, during a connection process, in particular the initial connection process or further connection processes, the first connection information can be compared with the second connection information in order to carry out authentication. Preferably, depending on this comparison, a connection between the transmission unit and the communication unit for transmitting the drive parameter can be authorized and/or established.

In particular, the (door system-side) connection information and/or the security feature (such as a password) can be stored at least partially in a fixed and/or unchangeable manner in the transmission unit, preferably cryptographically secured.

It may also be possible for the (door system side) connection information and/or the security feature to be designed to be changeable and, for example, to be changeable by the communication unit, preferably via the computer program of the communication unit. For this purpose, (possibly additional and/or stricter) authentication may preferably be necessary in order to remove cryptographic protection of the connection information and/or the security feature and thus enable the change. Preferably, the (door system side) connection information and/or the security feature can also be stored in another component of the door system (e.g. in a door closer) and read out by the transmission unit.

Furthermore, it is also conceivable that the transmission of the drive parameter by the transmission unit and/or the reception of the drive parameter by the communication unit takes place connectionless and/or encrypted.

Furthermore, it may be possible that in at least one or every connection between the communication unit and the transmission unit (ie in the connection process) at least one connection protocol information, in particular user information and/or a time stamp and/or a connection duration and/or information transmitted by the connection, in particular control information and/or configuration, and/or the like, is evaluated and/or stored and/or logged. Preferably, at least one of the drive parameters can be determined depending on the connection protocol information, for example, the user information. In this way, for example, it can be evaluated, in particular based on the remote door system Storage system, who established the connection and at what time. For example, it can also be evaluated which control information was transmitted (e.g. from the communication unit to the transmission unit for checking, in particular controlling, the door component). The user information preferably includes at least one user identifier, e.g. an identifier or the like that is uniquely assigned to the user of the communication unit and/or connection information (e.g. user name and password).

It is conceivable that in an object (i.e. in particular in an installation object, e.g. a building, or a group or a logical combination of door systems or the like) or in several objects, there is exactly one door system or several door systems and/or they are each used with one (possibly single) communication unit. For example, the communication unit can be integrated in one of the door systems of the object or can be designed to be portable, and thus preferably brought into the communication range of the respective door systems for reception. If the transmission unit of the respective door systems supports a connection-based communication technology, in particular Bluetooth communication, it can be provided that the communication unit can be connected, e.g. paired, with at least one or each of the respective transmission units, possibly also at different times. It is also possible that several door components are provided in each of the one or more objects, and preferably their respective door function (in particular also the movement state) can be adapted by the drive parameters. Several door components can also be present in a door system. The several door components are preferred here. or the drive units of the respective door components are each controlled (e.g. activated) by a (single) control unit of the respective door systems.

According to the invention, the at least one drive parameter (received by the communication unit) is transmitted via the communication unit to a storage system remote from the door system (at least partially wirelessly), i.e., for example, it is sent from the communication unit to the storage system, e.g. via a network, and/or subsequently received by the storage system, and/or vice versa. Optionally, the drive parameter received from the storage system can also be forwarded to the door system (in particular the transmission unit) by the communication unit at a later point in time, if necessary, or another drive parameter (e.g. for a configuration). It may also be possible for the communication unit (in particular via a computer program such as an app) to determine a configuration of the door system based on the drive parameter (in particular received from the storage system) and/or to transmit it to the door system, in particular the transmission unit. Alternatively or additionally, the configuration can also be created outside of this system and/or transmitted from the storage system to the communication unit.

In particular, the expression "remote from the door system" refers to the fact that the storage system is provided outside the door system. Preferably, the storage system can also be provided outside the communication unit. Preferably, the storage system is designed spatially spaced from the door system and/or the communication unit, and in particular has a Distance to the door system and/or to the communication unit of preferably greater than 1 meter (m), preferably greater than 10 m, particularly preferably greater than 100 m, in particular greater than 1000 m and/or in the range from 1 m to 100 (or 1000 or 10000) kilometers (km), preferably 5 m to 50 km, preferably 10 m to 10 km, particularly preferably 100 m to 1 km. The storage system is particularly preferably in data connection with the communication unit, e.g. via one or more networks.

In particular, the transmission of the at least one (received) drive parameter from the communication unit to the storage system initially takes place via radio transmission (e.g. from the communication unit to at least one intermediate point). The intermediate point is, for example, a hotspot (e.g. WLAN or mobile hotspot) and/or an access point (e.g. for WLAN) and/or a base station of a mobile network and/or a network component (e.g. hub/switch/repeater) of a (data) network and/or the like. It may be possible that, in addition to this radio interface transmission, another type of transmission is used, e.g. a wired transmission, in order to transmit the at least one drive parameter (e.g. starting from the intermediate point) to the storage system. For example, the storage system can be provided by at least one data processing system, e.g. in a data center or the like. It may therefore be possible for a wired transmission of the drive parameter (e.g. received from the intermediate location) to take place (at least partially) to and/or within the data center. This wired transmission includes, for example, an Internet transmission and/or a network transmission (e.g. a local area network) and/or a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) transmission and/or etc. This ensures a reliable and fast transmission of the drive parameters.

It may also be possible for several drive parameters to be transmitted in a bundle (e.g. as data packets) and/or encrypted and/or modulated.

Preferably, no communication takes place between the door system and the storage system remote from the door system without using the communication unit. In other words, communication with the storage system in the door system, for example the transmission of at least one drive parameter, takes place exclusively using the communication unit. This has the advantage that the door system does not originally have to implement the communication technology of the transmission interface of the communication unit, and can nevertheless be connected to the storage system at least indirectly.

The storage system is preferably designed as a non-volatile storage system for persistent data storage and/or as a database system. In particular, the storage system provides functions for electronic data management and/or data storage and/or data provision and/or data evaluation and/or data analysis. The database system is preferably designed as a relational database system. The database system comprises, for example, at least one database and/or a database management system. Furthermore, the storage system can have at least one interface for accessing the data stored therein, for example an SQL interface or the like. The storage system is preferably designed to persistently store the drive parameters transferred to the storage system. and/or manage and/or evaluate, and/or provide a user interface to perform these functions.

It is conceivable that drive parameters of different door systems (i.e., for example, the drive parameter of the door system and at least one other drive parameter of another door system) are determined and/or stored in the storage system and/or evaluated. Preferably, the drive parameter is assigned to the door system in which the drive parameter was determined, for example based on an identifier of the door system.

In particular, it can also be provided that the drive parameters of the door systems are evaluated in the storage system and/or remotely from the door system (e.g. by an evaluation unit of the storage system), e.g. processed and/or analyzed and/or compared with each other, preferably so that an evaluation result of the evaluation is determined, in particular which is correlated with the drive parameters of the different door systems. Preferably, based on the evaluation result, at least one of the door systems can be operated and/or checked (e.g. according to an error check) and/or analyzed (e.g. maintenance information can be determined).

Preferably, it can be provided that (in particular remote from the door system) at least one piece of information, in particular at least one drive parameter of the at least one door system and/or at least one further door system, is read out from the storage system and/or processed and/or evaluated and/or analyzed. For this purpose, for example, at least one data processing system, in particular evaluation unit, is provided, which the storage system (e.g. as a database) comprises or is connected to. For example, the evaluation of the information can comprise at least one statistical analysis or the like. Drive parameters of different types can advantageously be stored in the storage system, e.g. drive parameters with information about a location of the (respectively assigned) door system (location information) and/or drive parameters with information about an identifier of the respectively assigned door system. It is also conceivable that drive parameters of different door systems are stored in the storage system. The evaluation and/or analysis remote from the door system can then comprise, for example, at least one comparison and/or an evaluation of a correlation of at least some of these stored drive parameters.

For example, an evaluation and/or analysis of the drive parameters (remotely from the door system) can be carried out in such a way that maintenance information (planning information) is determined. For example, various drive parameters (such as usage information, usage cycles, identifiers, error information, and/or the like) can be used to determine the door systems for which maintenance should be carried out currently or in the future. For this purpose, the evaluation and/or analysis can be carried out based on predetermined criteria, e.g. a comparison of the drive parameters and/or other information. It can also be possible to make a trend or a prediction based on the drive parameters (e.g. for defects, failures, maintenance), possibly also depending on a location. Accordingly, the evaluation and/or analysis can also include filter functions, for example to only use the selected filter to determine those drive parameters for the To use data for evaluation/analysis that meet a specific requirement (e.g. have specific location information and/or identification).

It may also be possible that a configuration for the door system or at least some of the door systems is determined based on the evaluation and/or analysis. It is also conceivable that at least one existing configuration is first transferred from a door system to the storage system using the drive parameters, then modified, and then transferred back to the door system. This means that, for example, the operation of the door system can be improved based on the drive parameters.

It is conceivable that the information to be stored in the storage system remote from the door system, in particular drive parameters, are transferred from several door systems and/or several communication units to the storage system as a central storage system. For example, the storage system can receive and/or store drive parameters from at least 10 or 100 or 1000 or 10,000 different door systems and/or communication units. This makes it possible to create a comprehensive information database that allows reliable analysis.

For example, the drive parameters can also include manufacturer information and/or partner information. The manufacturer information relates, for example, to information about a manufacturer, in particular of the door system. The partner information relates, for example, to information, in particular a partner identifier, which is clearly assigned to a sales partner and/or installer of the door system. Based on these drive parameters, for example, a particularly reliable analysis of the information stored in the storage system can be carried out, since For example, maintenance information and/or planning information can be determined and transmitted to the partners concerned. It may also be possible for such a partner to receive protected access to the stored information assigned to them, for example through authentication on the storage system.

The storage system preferably comprises an access component, e.g. with a user interface, in order to be able to access the information stored in the storage system and/or to evaluate or analyze it. For example, the access component provides an authentication process so that an operator and/or partner and/or manufacturer can authenticate themselves for access. In particular, access to the access component can also be provided via an app or the like.

Preferably, a computer program, in particular an app, can be provided for the communication unit, which enables, for example, configuration and/or programming of macros for the door system. These macros can, for example, include a sequence of commands, e.g. for initiating various door functions depending on predetermined conditions. For example, it is conceivable that the computer program configures an opening and/or closing time for the door system (e.g. depending on a time of day).

Furthermore, it may also be possible for the communication unit to initiate a (possibly at least partially automatic) functional test of the door system, in order to determine at least one of the drive parameters based on the result of the functional test. Depending on this functional test, it may be determined, for example, that maintenance of the door system is required. The functional test can be initiated and/or carried out, for example, by the communication unit (ie in particular by the computer program) and/or by the control unit and/or by the transmission unit and/or by the storage system (or a data processing system connected thereto). In particular, the functional test can be carried out using at least one of the drive parameters, for example using image information or the like.

Furthermore, it may be possible for the communication unit to be designed to determine at least one drive parameter for the door system. For example, a camera sensor of the communication unit can be used to capture image and/or video information about the door system, in particular a movement of the door component. This image and/or video information can then be used, for example, as a drive parameter in order to carry out a functional test on the door system.

Preferably, the at least one drive parameter (ie one or more drive parameters) can be relevant for the door function, in particular for the movement of the door component and/or for the drive of the door component. In other words, the at least one drive parameter can be correlated with (the implementation of) the door function. It can thus be possible for external influences to directly influence the movement of the door component (e.g. a force acting on the door component, damage, an ambient temperature or the like) or to influence it indirectly (e.g. a time of day when the door component is or should be kept closed at certain times of the day). For example, the drive parameter can be specific to at least one of the influences, e.g. a (measurement or other) Information about this. It is also conceivable that drive parameters such as a period of use, frequency of use (in particular a number of usage cycles for opening and closing the door component) or a (geographical) location of the door component are relevant to the operation of the door system, in particular the movement of the door component, ie are correlated with it. A single usage cycle corresponds, for example, to a complete opening and closing of the door component, ie in particular to a complete movement.

Furthermore, it can be provided within the scope of the invention that the at least one drive parameter is determined based on at least one of the following information (hereinafter also referred to as first information), preferably by the recognition unit and/or by the communication unit, and/or provides at least one of the following information (or first information):

• operating information of the door system, in particular a usage cycle, in particular as the number of movements performed, and/or an operating duration and/or an operating and/or usage protocol and/or a frequency of a movement, in particular an opening of the door component, and/or a speed of the movement,
• environmental information, preferably weather information and/or location information and/or time information,
• door system information, preferably information about other components of the door system and/or about the type of integration of the door component into the door system,

• user information which is determined in particular based on a connection process of the transmission unit with the communication unit and/or based on facial recognition and/or based on a usage protocol and/or based on authentication.

In this case, various of these drive parameters and/or information (particularly in the storage system remote from the door system) can be stored and/or compared with each other and/or evaluated so that complex conclusions (such as maintenance information or error diagnosis) can be drawn based on the drive parameters and/or information.

In particular, it may be possible that based on the drive parameter (and/or at least one of the drive parameters), preferably based on at least one piece of information of the drive parameter, in particular also information on the basis of which the drive parameter is/was determined (e.g. by means of an evaluation) at least one evaluation function (in particular for the at least one door system) can be provided and/or is provided. Preferably, the evaluation can also be carried out on the basis of a combination and/or a comparison of at least two of the drive parameters.

• einer Information über eine Lokalisation des wenigstens einen Türsystems,
• einer Hersteller- und/oder Partnerinformation des wenigstens einen Türsystems,
• eines Nutzungszyklus und/oder einer Betriebsdauerinformation über das wenigstens eine Türsystem.

For example, the evaluation can provide at least one evaluation function, in particular for the at least one door system or all door systems for which drive parameters are stored in the storage system. The evaluation function preferably comprises a function for determining at least one of the following pieces of information (hereinafter also referred to as second information):

• statistics on at least one door system,
• a functional status of at least one door system,
• a result of a functional test of the at least one door system,
• information about a location of the at least one door system,
• manufacturer and/or partner information of the at least one door system,
• a usage cycle and/or operating time information about the at least one door system.

Alternatively or additionally, the evaluation function can also have a function for determining at least one of the aforementioned first pieces of information, for example if this at least one first piece of information is/was not used to determine the drive parameter and/or is not directly known.

It is also conceivable that the transmission unit is designed as a radio, in particular Bluetooth, transmission unit, so that the transmission and/or reception of the drive parameters takes place at least partially via Bluetooth, preferably Bluetooth Low Energy. The use of the Bluetooth or BLE standard enables energy-saving and reliable transmission of the drive parameters. Alternatively or additionally, near-field communication or other radio communication with the communication unit can also be carried out via the transmission unit. In particular, the transmission unit comprises one or more antennas for transmission and/or reception so that communication can be carried out reliably.

According to the invention, it is provided that the transmission unit is designed as a retrofittable transmission unit, so that the transmission unit can be subsequently integrated (retrofitted) into the door system in order to make the door system capable of communication, in particular according to a radio technology (such as Bluetooth or BLE). The transmission unit is designed as a retrofit or integrated into a retrofit. This enables the door system to be easily expanded with a communication technology which is provided (possibly exclusively in the door system) by the transmission unit, e.g. Bluetooth or BLE. Preferably, the transmission unit also provides further options for receiving and/or sending and/or evaluating drive parameters, e.g. additionally via a wired communication technology, e.g. Ethernet or LAN. This can, for example, provide an alternative readout option for drive parameters.

Within the scope of the invention, it can be provided that the detection unit comprises at least one sensor component, so that the at least one drive parameter can be determined at least partially based on a detection of the sensor component on the door system, in particular on the drive unit and/or on the door component and/or the state of movement, and/or on the environment of the door system. Preferably, at least one of the sensor components is designed as a temperature sensor in order to detect an ambient temperature. Two or three or more sensor components can also be provided, each of which can carry out a detection. For example, the sensor component (or one of the sensor components) can be integrated into the drive unit or door component or aligned with the drive unit or door component. This has the advantage that comprehensive monitoring of the operation of the door system is possible using the sensor components.

It is also optionally conceivable that the door system has at least one control unit for controlling, in particular initiating and/or controlling and/or regulating, the door function, wherein the control unit preferably comprises the detection unit or is connected to the detection unit (electrically or wirelessly) in order to determine the at least one drive parameter based on the control. For example, information can be used to determine the drive parameters which is based on the detection of sensor components in the control unit (e.g. a current measurement or the like) and/or based on a signal output from the control unit and/or determined from an information source outside the door system (e.g. from Internet data or from the For this purpose, the detection unit and/or the control unit can, for example, have a connection or interface to the Internet or a network.

In particular, the at least one drive parameter can be determined based on a signal output from the control unit. For example, the signal output from the control unit can have a target value for the control, which is compared with an actual value of the sensor components, for example as part of an evaluation of the at least one drive parameter. For example, the control unit influences the door system according to the target value, and the actual value is specific to the actual influence. The actual value is preferably recorded by a sensor component on the door system. Accordingly, the drive parameter can also be used to compare the actual value with the target value in order to determine, for example, errors during operation. For example, the target value is a predetermined speed of the drive unit, and the actual value is a measured speed of the drive unit.

Optionally, it can be provided that the door system has at least one control unit for controlling the door function, wherein the control can be adjusted directly or indirectly based on the (at least one) drive parameter, so that the drive parameter is correlated with the door function. In particular, the control unit is mechanically, electrically or wirelessly connected to the drive unit in such a way that the control unit can control and/or regulate the operation of the drive unit and/or the state of movement, e.g. based on the specification of at least one target value. For example, the direct adjustment of the control based on the drive parameter can take place in that the control unit directly evaluates the corresponding drive parameter and/or uses it for the control (e.g. the drive parameter corresponds to a target value). In particular, the indirect adjustment can be carried out by initially evaluating the at least one drive parameter (e.g. remotely from the door system using the storage system) and, for example, creating a configuration for the door system on this basis. The indirect adjustment can also be carried out by the at least one drive parameter being weather information or time information and the control being carried out, for example, based on the weather or time. An indirect adjustment is also conceivable if the at least one drive parameter is specific to a usage cycle (number), so that maintenance is necessary after a certain usage frequency.

It may optionally be possible for the storage system to be designed as a persistent storage system and preferably to include at least one database. This has the advantage that extensive information can be used to improve the door system by storing the drive parameters.

A further advantage can be achieved within the scope of the invention if the communication unit for transmitting the at least one drive parameter has at least one radio transmission interface, in particular a mobile radio interface and/or a WLAN interface, so that a wireless communication technology can be used in particular through the radio transmission interface. Preferably, the door system is originally not able to use this wireless communication technology. This enables a reliable and fast transmission of drive parameters.

It can be advantageous if, within the scope of the invention, the door component has at least one movably mounted door leaf, or in particular is designed entirely as a door leaf, wherein the door leaf is designed to be at least partially automatically moved by the drive unit. For example, the drive unit can be controlled by the control unit and/or the control unit can be configured based on the drive parameters. This ensures flexible and adaptable operation of the door system.

The invention also relates to a method for providing at least one drive parameter of a door system according to claim 9.

The method according to the invention thus brings with it the same advantages as have been described in detail with reference to a provision system according to the invention. In addition, the method according to the invention can be suitable for operating a provision system according to the invention. Furthermore, it can be possible for the door system and/or the communication unit and/or the storage system to be designed according to a provision system according to the invention.

Optionally, it can be provided that a connection process is carried out between the communication unit and the transmission unit before sending and/or receiving and/or transmitting, wherein the connection process is carried out using at least one (stored) connection information, wherein the connection information is determined (e.g. for the first time) during an initial connection process, in particular a Bluetooth pairing, between the communication unit and the transmission unit. In particular, initial security information, e.g. a PIN or a digital key, is exchanged during the initial connection process, preferably using a manual operator input. Preferably, the connection information is security information, such as a digital key or an identifier or the like, which is preferably generated automatically and/or cryptographically. For example, the connection information can also be cryptographically secured, in particular in the communication unit and/or the transmission unit. This can significantly increase the security when exchanging the drive parameters.

It is also conceivable that the door function, in particular opening and/or closing and/or permanent locking and/or permanent opening and/or time-controlled opening and/or closing and/or one-sided locking of the door component and/or access authorization, is configured at least partially automatically depending on the (at least one) drive parameter. For example, after the at least one drive parameter has been stored in the storage system remote from the door system, the drive parameter can be evaluated. The door system can then preferably be configured based on this evaluation. It is also conceivable that, alternatively or additionally, the configuration and/or evaluation is carried out directly in the door system based on the drive parameters. For example, information from the drive parameters, such as time, location or weather information, can be used for configuration.

Furthermore, it is optionally provided that the drive parameter is determined depending on the door function, in particular depending on a usage cycle (in particular a usage cycle number), preferably using a counter component of the detection unit, which preferably determines the usage cycle, in particular the number of movement processes of the door component and/or a drive unit of the door system. The movement process is, for example, the (completely completed) opening and/or closing and/or a rotation process of the drive unit. This makes it possible, for example, to determine the utilization or a maintenance status of the door system.

The invention also relates to a computer program product which, when executed by a communication unit, is designed to operate the communication unit according to a method according to the invention, so that

• receiving at least one drive parameter of a door system is carried out, and/or
• a transfer of the received drive parameter to a storage system is initiated.

The computer program product according to the invention thus brings with it the same advantages as have been described in detail with reference to a method according to the invention and a provision system according to the invention. For example, the computer program product is designed as a data storage device and/or data carrier with a computer program, in particular with an app for the communication unit. Alternatively, the computer program product is designed, for example, as firmware (or as a downloadable computer program) for the communication unit.

A retrofit means for a door system, which has a transmission unit and which is not the subject of the present invention, has at least one (mechanical) connection to connect a Connection interface element of the transmission unit to an original interface of the door system. In particular, this connection can be firmly connected to a housing of the retrofit device and/or supported by the housing. The connection is designed, for example, as an electrical plug or the like, and/or enables a force-fitting and/or form-fitting connection to the (original) interface connection for the (original) interface of the door system. This enables easy retrofitting. The retrofit device is preferably designed as an adapter and/or Bluetooth stick.

In the following figures, identical reference numerals are used for the same technical features even in different embodiments.

In Figure 1 a provision system 1 according to the invention is shown schematically. This comprises at least one communication unit 10, parts of a door system 400, and optionally a storage system 100 remote from the door system. The communication unit 10 is designed, for example, as a mobile radio device, in particular a smartphone. For example, radio communication takes place through a radio transmission interface 20 of the communication unit 10 in order to send data to a network 90, e.g. a mobile radio network. This enables, for example, data transmission to the storage system 100 remote from the door system, which can also be connected to the network 90 directly or indirectly (e.g. via other networks).

Furthermore, the communication unit 10 can have at least one communication interface 25 in order to carry out further communication, in particular radio communication, preferably Bluetooth communication. This can then be used, for example, to exchange data via a Bluetooth connection 95 with a transmission unit 500 of the door system 400. In particular, at least one drive parameter P can be exchanged via the Bluetooth connection 95. This drive parameter P can then be transmitted, for example, via the network 90 to the storage system 100 remote from the door system.

The door system 400 comprises, for example, at least one door component 410, in particular a movable door leaf. The door component 410 can be moved by a drive unit 480, wherein the drive unit 480 can be controlled, i.e., for example, actuated, by a control unit 420. In this way, at least one door function can be provided, for example, opening the door component 410. Other door functions are, for example, locking the door (e.g., at certain times) or the like. In particular, a detection unit 440 of the door system 400 can be used to determine at least one drive parameter P that is correlated with the door function. This drive parameter P can then be transmitted, if necessary, via the transmission unit 500 to the communication unit 10, and then via the network 90 to the storage system 100 remote from the door system.

As in Figure 2 As shown, the communication unit 10 can be designed as a portable communication unit 10 and can optionally receive and/or transmit several drive parameters P that originate from different door systems 400. For example, both a first door system 401 and a second door system 402 can be provided, which can establish a respective connection, in particular a Bluetooth connection 95, with the communication unit 10 via respective transmission units 500. For example, the connection can only be established if the portable communication unit 10 is within communication range of the respective transmission units 500.

In Figure 3 It is shown schematically that the communication unit 10 can also be integrated in the door system 400 (ie in at least one of the door systems 400). In this case too, it may be possible for a further door system 402 to communicate with the communication unit 10 of the first door system 401 and/or to transmit drive parameters P to it. In this way, a cost-effective and reliable networking of the door systems can be achieved in order to transmit drive parameters P to a storage system 100 remote from the door system.

Figure 4 shows schematically (at least partially) the structure of a communication unit 10. The communication unit 10 comprises, for example, at least one radio transmission interface 20 and/or at least one communication interface 25 and/or at least one sensor 30, in particular at least one camera sensor 31 and/or at least one location sensor 32 and/or at least one acceleration sensor 33, and/or at least one processing means 40 and/or at least one data storage device 50, which may be (at least partially) electrically or electronically connected to one another.

In Figure 5 a schematic at least partial structure of a detection unit 440 is shown. This can, for example, have a memory component 441 and/or a locating component 442 and/or a receiving component 443 and/or a processing component 444 and/or a sensor component 445 and/or a counter component 446, which can be at least partially electrically or electronically connected to one another.

Figure 6 shows schematically a retrofit means 700 or a transmission unit 500. The transmission unit 500 comprises, for example, a storage element 501 and/or a processing element 502 and/or an interface element 503 and/or a connection interface element 504. For example, a connection to a part of the door system 400, in particular an original interface of the door system 400, can be made via the connection interface element 504. For this purpose, the connection interface element 504 is, for example, electrically connected to a connection 701 of the retrofit device 700. The connection 701 is preferably designed as an electrical plug or the like, which can, for example, be connected in a force-fitting and/or form-fitting manner to an interface connection of the door system 400. The retrofit device 700 can also have a housing 702 so that it can be subsequently connected to the door system 400 as an individually handleable part, for example as an adapter and/or Bluetooth stick.

In Figure 7 A computer program product 600 is shown schematically. This can, for example, comprise a computer program for carrying out a method according to the invention. Alternatively or additionally, the computer program product 600 can be designed as a data storage device or data carrier, such as a CD or DVD.

The above explanation of the embodiments describes the present invention exclusively in the context of examples. Of course, individual features of the embodiments can be freely combined with one another, provided they are technically expedient, without departing from the scope of the present invention, the scope of protection of the invention being defined by the claims.
