Definitions
- the invention is in the field of shopping cart logistics, electronics and network technology, and relates in particular to an operating state measuring system for transport units, in particular shopping carts, which are used in a shopping market in different operating areas and kept in parking boxes.
- EP 2 391 247 B1 and DE 10 2008 041 274 A1 show examples of the formation of electronic markings or RFID tags on the shopping cart in order to protect it, e.g. secure against theft.
- the evaluation can be done in the "cloud", ie on a network
- the object is achieved by an operating state measuring system for a plurality of transport units,
- shopping carts that are moved in different operating areas.
- the shopping trolleys are stored in parking boxes.
- the operating state measuring system comprises:
- a plurality of transport units for use by one
- At least one receiving unit in all or selected
- Operating areas is positioned and is adapted to receive signals from the electronic transmitting unit and for sending a data packet to the central server
- Operating areas are positioned - An application that is installed on a mobile device of the user and that is intended to receive a one-to-one identification signal of a beacon, if the mobile device is in the vicinity of the beacon, then to send a position signal to a central server -
- the central server used to receive and evaluate the
- Data packet of the receiving unit and the position signal for calculating a result data set is determined.
- the solution relates to the redundant provision of shopping cart location information during operation and mobile Device of the customer as user of the application and the shopping cart. This advantageously makes it possible for the recorded data records to be synchronized and verified. This can increase the security of the system.
- all or selected shopping carts of the fleet of shopping carts of a market are designed with an RFID tag (transponder) as electronic transmission unit.
- the RFID tag is in communication with an RFID reader from a group of RFID readers that are positioned as a receiving unit at different positions within the market, such as e.g. at least at the parking box for the shopping trolleys, in the entrance and exit area of the market.
- the RFID tag sends a unique, identifying code to the RFID reader.
- the RFID reader receives this code or reads it out and sends detected and collected position data with an assignment to the tag characterizing the respective shopping cart to a calculation unit, which is e.g. can be configured as a central server.
- the RFID transmitter-receiver system is used for
- the reader can also write data. It generates a high-frequency electromagnetic alternating field to which the RFID tag is exposed. The radio frequency energy absorbed by him via an antenna can during the communication process as
- Power supply also be done by a built-in battery. With half-active tags, the battery only takes over the supply of the microchip. The thus activated microchip in the RFID tag decodes the commands sent by the reader. The answer encodes and modulates the RFID tag into the irradiated one
- the tag transmits its own invariable serial number or the code characterizing it and, if necessary, further data which has been requested by the reader or reader to the reader.
- the tag itself does not generate a field, but influences it the electromagnetic field of the reader.
- active transponders with their own power supply can also be used.
- On the reader is usually a software (eg a
- Microprogram which controls the actual reading process, and an RFID middleware with interfaces to other systems, to a database and to the server.
- Transmission protocol for the contactless exchange of data are applied, such. Barcode-based or image-scan based method.
- the beacon sends the one-to-one identification signal via a radio link, in particular via Bluetooth or WLAN.
- the one-to-one identification signal is preferably sent to the application, which is installed on a mobile device that the
- the application can also be installed on a different device. In this case, the position signal would be sent from this other device to the server.
- Operating areas of the shopping market can also be located at different levels.
- the signals provided by the RFID receiving unit in this embodiment of the invention in addition to the X and Y coordinates also Z coordinates, so that a spatial resolution across the levels is possible and can be evaluated how many shopping carts are in which operating range .
- An operating range may e.g. a specific range of goods, a function (bank service etc.) or a specific shop in a shop-in-shop system. This can provide improved logistics across the entirety of all operating areas.
- the electronic system in particular the RFID system is intended for the detection and transmission of x, y, and z coordinates.
- Transport unit density can be used in each of the operating areas and in particular for measuring a filling state in each case a parking box.
- filling state is meant, how many shopping carts are in the parking box.As all filling conditions can be determined over the entire market, can also be evaluated on the central server, which parking boxes are over-supplied and which are underserved, in order to initiate appropriate logistical measures
- the measurement of the transport density can not only affect the parking boxes, but also, for example, the cash register area in front of each individual cash register, for example, a signal can be automatically recorded that signals that another cash register can be opened or a cash register can be closed
- operating areas with a specific product range can be analyzed so that an analysis tool is provided to the shopping market in order to record how many customers are each in front of a particular product range of a sales area.
- the invention in another aspect, relates to a server dedicated to controlling an operating state measurement system.
- the server includes:
- An input interface which is intended to receive data packets of a receiving unit and of position signals.
- Position signals can be sent by an application of the customer.
- the invention relates to a method for controlling an operating state measuring system, with the following method steps that are executed on the server:
- a transmission of the data packet from the receiving unit to the server is carried out in a timed mode.
- the data to be transmitted can be aggregated, in order then to be transmitted in a pre-configurable time phase to the server.
- only prefiltered data packets are sent to the server, in particular a validity value, a timestamp and a change data record which only includes changes in comparison to previously sent data.
- the volume of data to be transmitted can be significantly reduced.
- Result data set prepared for output on a graphical user interface and / or on a mobile device and transmitted to the same.
- an evaluation of the collected data can be provided on a computer of the server or on a mobile device.
- the data can be processed graphically.
- Evaluation of a data match between the respective received data packet and the position signal This is an important feature and aims at the Reliability of the collected and evaluated data. This ensures that the analysis is always executed only if the data package and the position data correspond to each other. This is the case when the item data of the shopping cart coincides with the item data of the customer. In the case of deviations, further calculations can be carried out, for example to determine in which operating ranges deviations of the two position data occur. Even in case of failure or failure of one of the two position data acquisition systems (RFID signal and beacon signal) can be accessed due to the redundant data acquisition on the other signals for evaluation.
