Description

The invention relates to a method for the exercise of racing flights in pigeon racing.

For the recording of the time of the race, a clock or a chronometer is used in order to record the arrival times of the homing pigeon returning from a race in a tamper-proof manner.

Since 1993, conventional clock watches have been increasingly replaced by electronic registration systems in which the acquisition of foot ring numbers and arrival times by means of RFID chip rings and sensor antennas.

The following is known about the term of the discount in pigeon sport:
Every carrier pigeon gets infected with a life ring from the breeder after the birth. This is usually a plastic ring on which a unique identifier (letters and numbers), hereafter called life ring number, is printed. If the breeder later wants to race with this pigeon, an electronic RFID ring is attached to the pigeon's feet. This ring has a chip ring ID number programmed which can be read with a corresponding reader.

In addition to the Chripring ID, the RFID ring has a serial number, the so-called UID code (Unique Identification, referred to below as Chripring UID) which is immovably burned.
Each grower has a home clock (the central control and storage device) are connected to the RFID antennas home. The data (life ring number, chip ring ID, chip ring UID) of the pigeon are loaded at the beginning of the season in the clock of the breeder and stored there in a database.

In a pigeon management software in a pigeon breeder or racing club, the chip ring ID is then assigned to the pigeon's life ring number so that a clear identification of the pigeon is possible via the RFID ring. For this purpose, the chip-ring ID of the RFID ring of each participating pigeon of the breeder is read out via a special reading and writing device in the association and stored in a database of the association.

In addition, as a security measure, a secret number is stored on the RFID ring and also in the breeder's clock. Such a secret number is generated by a reading and writing device located in the club and written, for example, in a memory of the ring, without the breeder being aware of this secret number. These two numbers from ring and Konstatieruhr be compared again on arrival of the pigeon in the breeder's beat. This is to prevent another RFID ring with the same chip ring ID (clone) from being used at home by the breeder to simulate arrival.

Immediately before a race, the breeder brings the pigeons with whom he wants to participate in a race together with his clock to the clubhouse.

First the time of the clock is synchronized with the master time of the association (GPS, radio clock). Then the deaf are basketed and the secret number stored. and then brought by a transport car to the outlet, from where all pigeons participating in the race are left out by all breeders at the same time at a certain time.

At the time when the pigeon flies in the breeder's stroke and is detected by the Konstatierantenne, the RFID data carrier with the chip ring ID of the ring is read out together with the stored secret number in the ring and compared with the stored in the Konstatieruhr secret number. If these two secret numbers do not match, the Data marked as invalid. With this the pigeon is identified and the exact time of arrival in the clock is stored.

After the arrival of the pigeon and the end of the race of the racing pigeons, it is necessary to bring the clock with the stored data back into the club to read in the club system the arrival time from the clock clock, so that an official list of arrivals can be issued.

In addition, in the club system the current time of the clock (KU) is compared with a reference time (radio clock, GPS). The resulting time difference is also spent (this is the discount in pigeon racing).

In a further step, the arrival times are then corrected by the time difference given above to determine the official times.

Disadvantage of this method is that the Konstatieruhr (KU) must be brought after the flight to the clubhouse to the above steps of the synchronization of the time and transmission of the pigeon arrival data.

At the present time it is expected that all information will be available online. The breeder and pigeon data of a club are often already available online, but these are no longer available in real time from the "basketing" of the pigeons. Only with the arrival of the pigeon in the blow, the arrival time is partly transmitted in real time. By real time is meant the operation of the electronic measuring device (here clock clock), in which the program or the data processing (almost) simultaneously with the corresponding processes in the reality runs.

The DE 100 24 805 A1 shows how a GPS device is connected to a modem for accurate time determination in a clock. However, it is possible in this case, the GPS time by an intervention in the hardware too manipulate, so that no protection against manipulation of the clock is given.

The pigeon sport is partly about a lot of money. For this reason, there are always attempts to manipulate the results of a race. For the pigeons directly by doping and in the time recording by other methods.

Nowadays it is easier and faster to access the electronics, the software and the memory of the clocks to read out the data and to change it.

In this way, e.g. possible to copy the chip ring ID, which is normally programmed by the chip ring manufacturer. However, with enough expertise, an empty disk with the same chip-ring ID can be programmed to simulate the arrival of a carrier pigeon.

Also, the secret number, which today represents a kind of second security hurdle, is not safe from manipulation, since they also read out with sufficient expertise from the memory of the clock.

Since the clock clock is always in the possession of the breeder during the week, he has enough time to gain access to the memory of the clock and thus, for example, read out the secret number.

The invention is therefore the object of developing a method and apparatus for synchronizing the time for the purpose of online discount in pigeon racing so that a Spend the Konstatieruhr after the race in the clubhouse and there held time comparison (tee) can be omitted and an improved security procedure against unauthorized access and manipulation is given.

The present invention solves this problem by deliberately or as a substitute stored in the chip ring secret number before the race online in real time to an external server and stored there securely. In addition, as before, the chip-ring ID but also the chip-ring UID of the RFID chip will be transmitted to this server.

The transmission of the data to the server takes place in real time, i. at the moment when the pigeon with at least one chip ring on the read-write device in the club is kept, so where the PIN is assigned, the data will be sent to the server. At the same time it is indicated on a homepage, that this breeder has just bought this pigeon for this flight.

• a1) vor dem Wettflug (beim Einkorben) die Taube samt Chipring (40) über ein Lese-und Schreibgerät im Club registriert wird, wobei zusätzliche Informationen (Chipring-ID, Chipring-UID (43) und Geheimnummer (42)) erfasst werden,
• a2) bei Registrierung der Taube im Club die Chipring-ID, und die Geheimnummer (42) und optional die Chipring-UID (43) an einen externen, sicheren Server (14) über eine sichere Datenverbindung geschickt werden
• b1) bei der Ankunft einer Taube beim Züchter die Ankunftszeit und zusätzliche Informationen (Chipring-ID, Chipring-UID (43) und Geheimnummer (42)) zur Verifizierung der Taube verwendet wird,

• b3) und dass bei einem gültigen Vergleich der verglichenen Daten aus Schritt a2) und b2) der Server eine Rückmeldung an den Club erzeugt.

Thus, with the present invention, a method for carrying out a remote tee in pigeon racing claimed with an electronic clock clock with the arrival times of returning from a race homing pigeon is held tamper-proof, the current time of the clock clock with a master time (eg a radio clock or GPS Time) and the difference between the time comparison of the clock of the clock and the reference time is used to correct the clock for the purpose of determining the true time of arrival,

• a1) before the race (when basketing), the pigeon and the chip ring (40) are registered in the club via a reading and writing device, wherein additional information (chip ring ID, chip ring UID (43) and secret number (42)) is recorded,
• a2) upon registration of the pigeon in the club, the chip-ring ID, and the secret number (42) and optionally the chip-ring UID (43) are sent to an external, secure server (14) via a secure data connection
• b1) upon arrival of a pigeon at the breeder the arrival time and additional information (chip ring ID, chip ring UID (43) and secret number (42)) is used to verify the pigeon,
• b2) and upon detection of the arrival of the pigeon at the breeder on the clock clock (1) stored in the chip ring (40) information (chip ring ID, chip ring UID (43) and secret number (42)) to the external server (14) via a secure data connection are sent, where are compared by the server (14) with the data from step a2).
• b3) and that in a valid comparison of the compared data from step a2) and b2) the server generates a response to the club.

In a further embodiment of the present invention, an online check is performed before the pigeons are released. For this purpose, the data of all pigeons in the transport vehicle is checked at different times in a transport vehicle, which brings all pigeons to the Auflassort.

Such samples can be performed for example by a strong reader.

Upon release, the GPS coordinates can then be determined with such a reading device and transmitted online together with the issue date to the server mentioned above.

Upon arrival of the pigeons in the field, the chip-ring ID, the secret number and optionally the chip-ring UID of the data carrier are read out and no longer compared with the state-of-the-art in the clock, but transferred online in real time to the external server.

The data is then compared by a data processing program of the server and if they do not match the data transmitted to the server before the pigeons were released, marked accordingly.

Thus, all data from confirmed pigeons can be retrieved directly and worldwide via a server-based database or a website, since the results are stored there and therefore immediately available, ie in real time.

The data of the homepage or the server can then be made visible via a monitor in the clubhouse and every viewer sees the current status of the race.

This makes it possible, for example, in a clubhouse to follow the arrival of the pigeons in each stroke live and at the same time breeders can compete with other breeders around the world on the flying time of the pigeons athletically.

According to the assigned before the outlet of the pigeons secret number is no longer deposited as in the prior art in the clock at the breeder, but sent to an external server, the breeder can gain access and no knowledge of the secret number.

So far, this secret number was only stored in the clock and the breeder had the opportunity to retain or manipulate.

If the pigeon arrives in the field after the race, as before, the chip-ring ID, the chip-ring UID and additionally the secret number from the chip ring of the pigeon are read by a measuring device and immediately transmitted to the online server and compared there with the stored data.

The security comparison of the secret numbers is thus no longer in the connected clock at the breeder, but on the external online server. In addition, you can also compare the chip-UID read from the measuring device with the chip-ring UID stored on the server to identify the ring.

This achieves a higher level of security compared with the conventional method, since the data base in the clocking device is very difficult to protect against external manipulation in the conventional method. The security on the online server can be better guaranteed nowadays and security problems can also be reacted more quickly.

With the method according to the invention there is the advantage that in the moment in which a wrong PIN number has been recognized by the system, this information has already been transmitted to the server.

In addition, the chip ring UID is also transmitted and compared with the chip ring UID stored on the server. This number can not be changed in contrast to the chip-ring ID and is therefore another safeguard against copying and manipulation.

Wide advantages of the present invention are that a national or international database stores and manages all the data of the breeders, as well as the pigeons (life rings) and the RFID chip rings.
Thus, for example, a theft of a chip ring can be more easily detected if it is detected by a foreign reader.

In addition to the transmission of the secret number according to the invention, a used Konstatieruhr can also be brought after the flight in the club to once again compare the times with the master time in the club and transfer them online to the server.

Thus, a clock is no longer used as a trusted server, but a reachable via an online wireless interface trusted server.

The invention thus relates to a system that transmits the arrival times online and at the same time the time variance between Konstatieruhr and stored on arrival of the pigeon in the chip ring secret number. All relevant data is available online and can be used for an official list of results.

For this purpose, an additional device (a modem) is connected to the clock timer. However, the modem can also be integrated there. The modem connects to the Internet (eg mobile radio, Bluetooth, WLAN or LAN / broadband connection) and carries out the steps according to the invention for transmitting the data to the server.

• Microprocessor
• RS485 Schnittstelle oder gleichwertige Schnittstelle
• USB
• GPS Modul
• GSM Modul
• GSM Antenne
• GPS Antenne

• Die komplette Kommunikation mit dem Server erfolgt verschlüsselt
• Vor dem Wettflug wird die Konstatieruhr (KU) in einer kontrollierten Umgebung, z. B. im Vereinshaus, mit einer Masterzeit synchronisiert. Die Masterzeit kann die GPS-Zeit oder von einer Funkuhr abgeleiteten Zeit sein.
• Beim Anstecken der Konstatieruhr werden die Wettflugdaten mit einem Server synchronisiert.
• Bei der Ankunft einer Taube werden die Ankunftszeit und zusätzliche Informationen (Chip-ID, UID, Geheimnummer) an den Server übertragen.
• In regelmäßigen Abständen (10 bis 30 Minuten) werden die aktuelle Uhrzeit und die aktuelle GPS Zeit zum gleichen Zeitpunkt übermittelt, um einen Zeitvergleich zu haben. Zusätzliche gibt es noch die Serverzeit als dritte Vergleichszeit. Der Empfang einer Ankunftszeit muss in einem bestimmten Zeitfenster zum Server liegen (z. B. 1 Minute)

The GPS modem is the hardware platform used with the following functional parts:

• Microprocessor
• RS485 interface or equivalent interface
• USB
• GPS module
• GSM module
• GSM antenna
• GPS antenna

• The complete communication with the server is encrypted
• Before the race, the Konstatieruhr (KU) in a controlled environment, eg. B. in the club house, synchronized with a master time. The master time can be the GPS time or time derived from a radio clock.
• When connecting the clock, the race data is synchronized with a server.
• Upon arrival of a pigeon, the arrival time and additional information (chip ID, UID, PIN) will be transmitted to the server.
• At regular intervals (10 to 30 minutes), the current time and the current GPS time are transmitted at the same time to have a time comparison. Additional there is the server time as a third comparison time. The reception of an arrival time must be within a certain time window to the server (eg 1 minute)

For timekeeping, on the one hand, the arrival times are transmitted online and on the other hand, the current time of the clock clock together with the current GPS time and the secret number transmitted to the server. These times must be within a specified tolerance. In addition, another comparison time can be used (eg Internet time, Telekom time signal, radio clock). In the invention, the Internet time is drawn.

Another feature of the invention is that overall a time comparison between 3 different times takes place and the time comparison between 3 different times is evaluated and evaluated in an evaluation unit.

The crucial time that matters is the time of the clock (KU time), which is also referred to as the competition time.

It is important that this only valid competition time is transmitted in the modem connected to the device in real time with a synchronization command, wherein the transmission takes place via such a fast data transmission that the duration of this synchronization command in connection with the time processing is negligibly small.

The GPS modem continuously (or from time to time) collects the GPS time taken from a GPS satellite.

After that, the GPS modem transmits both times and the secret number to an Internet web server via an Internet connection, via which the current Internet time is queried. The current internet time is z. B. generated on the Internet by querying a server, the z. B. with the standard clock in Brunswick in conjunction.

Therefore, the Internet time is very accurate and can be compared with the current GPS time.

While it is anticipated that the current GPS time will coincide with the Internet time, this is not necessarily because GPS time would be possible manipulated by a hardware intervention, so that with the comparison of the current GPS time and the Internet time additional protection against manipulations of the clock is given.

Now the three times are compared. For this purpose, the 3 times are set in a database. For the certification (approval or approval) of the KU time the requirement must be fulfilled that the KU time (competition time) is accepted only if the difference from the GPS time and the Internet time is smaller than z. B: 1 second is.

The web-based evaluation unit with a suitable visualization is queried via a web connection from a web browser. The necessary computer can be used by the user. But he can also be located in the clubhouse or be present at the private pigeon fancier. On the display of the corrected arrival times are displayed, which has been corrected by the above method.

The evaluation unit determines depending on the evaluation that the competition time by a correction factor of z. B. 0.5 + is corrected.

The correction is the difference between the competition time and the GPS time recorded online.

With the technical teaching, there is the advantage that it is no longer necessary that the carrier pigeon breeder brings after competing in the clubhouse to perform a discount and result transfer and a secret number comparison, because this is now internet based on a server takes place and can be corrected according to the above method as well as a comparison of the secret numbers can be performed.

A device practicing the method provides that a modem is connected to the usually existing clock clock, which essentially from a microprocessor, a GPS receiver, a data transmission module (eg, according to the UMTS or a GPRS transmission method) or an interface to an external data transmission module (eg ADSL modem via a PC).

The subject of the present invention results not only from the subject matter of the individual claims, but also from the combination of the individual claims with each other.

All information and features disclosed in the documents, including the abstract, in particular the spatial design shown in the drawings, are claimed to be essential to the invention insofar as they are novel individually or in combination with respect to the prior art.

In the following the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to drawings showing only one embodiment. Here are from the drawings and their description further features essential to the invention and advantages of the invention.

• FIG. 4 : the procedure for the transmission (synchronization) of the different times (online discount).
• FIG. 5 : Record

In FIG. 1 a Konstatieruhr 1 is shown, which consists of an electronic device with a display 2 and a microprocessor. On the display 2 is a display 3 for the type of carried out (race) mode is present, a display 4 for the display of the current arrival time (KU time) and a display 5 for the display of the current status of the clock 1.

The clock 1 can be operated stand-alone; However, it can also be connected via a connector 7 with a docking station 6, in the further details of the circuit, such. As a power supply or a backup medium or an interface is available.

In the illustrated embodiment, the clock 1 is connected to the docking station 6. The clock 1 is connected via a data cable 8 to an antenna 9, which detects the arrival of the pigeon wirelessly. On the foot or body of a pigeon, a chip ring 40 is attached, which triggers an impulse in the antenna upon arrival of the pigeon.

For example, the secret number and the chip ring UID are transmitted via the communication connection 46 between chip ring 40 and antenna 9.

Via another data cable 10, a modem 11 is connected, which is not necessarily connected to the antenna 9. It is connected to the clock 1 or the docking station 6.

The modem 11 is the subject of the present invention and works with a receiving and transmitting antenna 12 via a communication link 13 to a web server 14th

By the reference numeral 15 is still indicated the prior art, which shows the arrow at 15 a place of transfer at which the clock 1 at the place of the breeder and at the place of departure of the pigeons is removed and into Club home for synchronization and comparison of secret numbers is spent. This is no longer necessary.

FIG. 2 shows a club antenna 47 which is used for example when basketing. If the chip ring 40 comes close to the club antenna 47, a secret number is stored on the chip ring 40 via the communication connection 41 between the chip ring and club antenna. This PIN number is then transmitted via the modem 48 via a communication link 49 to a web server 14 and deposited there.

In FIG. 3 is the structure of the modem 11 after FIG. 1 shown. There are one or more bus ports 17 connected to a CPU 16. Via a bus connection 17, the modem is connected to the antenna 9, which receives the data of the chip ring.

A GPS receiver 18 is connected to the CPU, via whose antenna 19 the current GPS time is received by a GPS satellite and fed into the CPU 16.

The CPU communicates via a signal connection with a GPRS modem and a built-in SIM card, so that the modem is mobile-enabled. According to the invention, it is provided in another embodiment that the data transmission modem 20 is designed as a mobile device (mobile phone) or as an internet-enabled smartphone.

It can according to the GPRS standard, the G3 standard, the UMTS standard or the like, make a data transmission via its bidirectional antenna 21 via the communication link 13 to a secure web server 14, which in turn can be connected to a bidirectional antenna 22.

Instead of the radio-supported data transmission path, however, provision may also be made for the parts 11 and 14 to be connected to one another via a wired signal connection.

It is of course possible, instead of the data transmission via modem 11 and the data via interface to a computer (PC) to send. This then takes over the monitoring to the web server 14 with its own Internet connection.

It should be noted that the data transmission modem 20 may be formed in various ways, namely as an ADSL modem or as a smartphone or mobile phone.

In FIG. 4 the function of the online discount is explained in more detail. It is crucial that the competition time 24 is the time of the clock 23, which is also referred to below as the KU time 23.
In addition to the competition time 24 of the clock 1 also the secret number 42, the chip ring ID 50 and optional chip ring UID 43 detected. The secret number 42, chip ring ID 50 and the chip ring UID 43 are stored in the chip ring of the pigeon and are transmitted only on arrival of the pigeon in the blow to the clock 1.

This KU time 23 is provided as a competition time 24 with certain correction factors, as shown below.

After the competition time 24 may deviate from the GPS time, a synchronization command is first issued from the clock 1 to the modem 11 via the signal connection 25. Content is the current competition time 24. At the same time, the GPS time 36 is received by the GPS receiver in the modem 11.

Both times (the GPS time 36 and the competition time 24), as well as the secret number 42, chip ring ID 50 and optionally the chip ring UID 43, with another synchronization command via the communication link 13 transmitted on a server (web server 14), in turn, an Internet-based time (Internet time 27) detects and makes available.

There are a total of three times in the web server 14, namely the competition time 24, the GPS time 36 and the internet time 27 queried by the web server via the web, as well as the secret number 42, chip ring ID 50 and optionally the chip ring UID 43.

The web server 14 is connected via a signal connection 28 to a database 29 in which the three different times 24, 36, 27 and the secret number 42, the chip ring ID 50 and the chip ring UID 43 are stored. The storage takes place at regular intervals, so that consecutively following data disciplines are stored, which contain the three times mentioned.

On this database 14 is already transmitted over the communication link 49 from the club secret number 42, chip ring ID 50 and optionally the chip ring UID 43. Also, the Einkorbzeit 44 and a time comparison 45 can be deposited.

In this database 14, the secret number 42 is then compared via the communication connection 13 (upon arrival of the pigeon) this secret number with the already transmitted via the communication link 49 secret number.

In this way, an already deposited chip ring UID 43 and chip ring ID 50 can be compared with the chip ring UID 43 and chip ring ID 50 detected upon arrival of the pigeon.

In addition, if all three times are stored every half hour and compared later, a fluctuation of the time 27 Konstatier and thus the competition time 24 can be seen.

In addition, the current arrival time of the pigeon, which is automatically detected in the clock 1 and is transmitted from the registration clock 1 to the GPS modem 11 with a command via the signal connection 25, is additionally stored for each data triplet. This is a fourth time (current arrival time), which is also stored in the database together with the three specified times as a record.

This arrival time is now corrected via the communication connection 37, which is web-based, in an evaluation 30, wherein a web-based visualization takes place in the evaluation. For this purpose, it is provided that the evaluation 30 also includes a country table 31, in which certain correction factors are input country by country.

In the evaluation, the determination of the corrected arrival time takes place, which is only accepted if the determined KU time 23 or the competition time 24 falls below a certain difference, which results from the GPS time 36 and the Internet time 27.

Only if this difference falls below a certain value, the clock time of the clock is accepted, and the arrival time is corrected with this time factor.

The corrected arrival time is provided in the evaluation 30 and can be queried at any time via an internet connection 32 from a pigeon breeder via his web browser 33, his PC or his mobile phone from any location, the values of the evaluation 30 being displayed on a display 34 and the query can also be controlled via a keyboard 35.

The corrected data of the corrected arrival time, which were determined and visualized in the evaluation 30, are processed further.

FIG. 5 shows the data transmitted via the modem 48 from the club to the server 14. It is preferred to record the data in FIG. 2 used club antenna 47, wherein a communication link 41 between the chip ring 40, not shown, is made.

On the part of the club, after the acquisition of the chip ring data, chip ring UID 43, chip ring ID 50, the secret number 42 together with the one-basket time 44 and the time comparison 45 are transmitted to the server 14 via the modem 48 and the communication connection 49.

With the present invention, it is therefore no longer necessary that the pigeon fancier brings the clock clock after the competition again in the clubhouse to perform the discount and to transmit the arrival times and to compare the secret numbers, because this synchronization and comparison process after the Race web based on the above method and the devices described above.

The invention thus lies in the fact that one can transmit a corrected time of arrival online and additionally an online comparison of the secret number takes place, without it being necessary to subsequently synchronize the clock.

It therefore concerns two claims 1 and 2 to be fulfilled in an additive manner. Claim 1 relates to the acceptance of KU time plus claim 2 concerns the match of secret number 42, chip ring ID 50 and optional chip UID 43 on the server, their additive fulfillment increase the security of data transmission.
