Definitions

  • the invention relates to sensor buttons for public transport systems.
  • a person who wants to ride a bus or a train approaches its door and touches a button at the door or in proximity of the door to open the door. Then the person enters the vehicle and may purchase a ticket from the driver or validate a ticket by a stamping machine.
  • This system does not provide a reliable access control, a reliable validation of tickets and a presence control of persons in the vehicle.
  • a door for a public transport system is disclosed in DE 10 2015 212 129 A1 .
  • the door has a sensor button which may be operated from the inside and the outside of the door to request opening of the door.
  • the problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a system for public transport, like bus or train systems, which provides at least one an access control, a ticket validation, and a presence detection.
  • a sensor button which is mounted at a vehicle or at least one door of a vehicle or a public transport provides further communication means to communicate with a personal device of the persons entering and/or using the vehicle.
  • the sensor button may further include a communication bus interface, which is configured to communicate with a controller of the public transport vehicle.
  • the sensor button may exchange information or authentication data with a public transport vehicle controller or door controller and with a user device of a user approaching the button. Further, an authentication data exchange may be with the public transport vehicle or door controller.
  • a user device requests access to the public transport vehicle by communicating with the sensor button. The sensor button may forward this request to the public transport vehicle or door controller which may issue an authentication request. This authentication request may be received by the sensor button and be forwarded to the user device. The user device may respond with an authentication code, which may be received by the sensor button and be forwarded to the public transport vehicle or door controller. In an abbreviated version, a user device may immediately forward an authentication code to the sensor button which communicates this code to the public transport vehicle or door controller.
  • a user device may transmit an access code to the sensor button, which may be a priority access code or a request for special handling, like a handicapped access, to the sensor button which further forwards this code to the public transport vehicle or door controller.
  • an access code to the sensor button, which may be a priority access code or a request for special handling, like a handicapped access, to the sensor button which further forwards this code to the public transport vehicle or door controller.
  • Sensor buttons at internal doors or compartment separators may identify persons moving between departments like cars of a train, such that for example access to first class or second class seats may be checked.
  • At least one sensor button is at an entrance door and at least a further sensor button is at an exit door.
  • the sensor button may also be mounted at a handrail, an interior wall or an exterior wall of a bus or public transport.
  • the sensor button is a communication gateway between the user device and the public transport vehicle controller.
  • the sensor button is the first point of access for a person which wants to enter a public transport vehicle, because everybody is used to press the sensor button or to interact with the sensor button to open the door. Therefore, it would not be unusual to bring a personal device like a cell phone or PDA or laptop or even a transponder in proximity to the sensor button to get access. Further, using the sensor button for communication is cheaper and requires less maintenance than providing separate communication interfaces or communication access points in addition to the sensor buttons. It would be difficult to understand for a user to manually operate a sensor button and to hold the mobile device to a different position, e.g. outside of the door, for authentication.
  • the sensor button may be configured by a personal device. Before exchanging configuration data an authentication of the user and/or device who wants to configure the sensor button may be required.
  • the sensor button may act as a beacon which may be localized by a user device.
  • the sensor button may identify a certain public transport vehicle and/or a specific door. Therefore, the sensor button may emit a certain signal or code for identification.
  • the sensor button may emit a specific identification code which may either be assigned to the switch or which may be received from a public transport vehicle or door controller.
  • a sensor button for a public transport vehicle may include at least a sensor electrode coupled to a sensor circuit.
  • the sensor circuit is configured to generate a signal, when at least one of a person or an object approaches and/or touches the sensor button.
  • a signal may be generated, if at a person or an object is within a predetermined minimum distance to the sensor electrode.
  • the sensor button further includes a RF communication circuit which is configured to communicate with at least one user device, and it includes further a communication bus interface configured to communicate with a public transport vehicle controller.
  • a user device may be at least one of a cell phone, a handheld device, a laptop, a smartwatch, a wearable, and an RFID device, which a user of the public transport vehicle and/or the switch may bring with him/her.
  • the public transport vehicle controller may be a controller or computer of/in the public transport vehicle. It may handle passenger data, tickets, etc.
  • the sensor button is further configured to forward data between the at least one user device and the public transport vehicle controller.
  • the sensor button includes a Bluetooth interface or a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) interface.
  • the RF communication circuit is configured to communicate by using at least a Bluetooth or a Bluetooth low energy protocol.
  • a Bluetooth or a Bluetooth low energy interface may be configured to emit Bluetooth beacon signals or to establish a full communication which may be required for example for user identification or authentication.
  • the sensor button includes an NFC (Near Field Communication) interface.
  • the RF communication circuit is configured to communicate by using at least an NFC protocol. This may also be combined with a Bluetooth and/or BLE interface.
  • the sensor button may be configured to
  • Some of these applications may require establishing Bluetooth connection between a user device and the switch.
  • Another application may be payment with a mobile payment system for use of the public transport over a certain time or distance as long as there is a connection between the user device and the switch.
  • the sensor button is configured for an entrance door and/or a wall of a public building. It may be configured to operate in the same or in a similar way as in a public transport vehicle and as outlined above.
  • the sensor button may have a mechanical sensor like contact or a force sensor, which may have a piezo, capacitive, or inductive transducer.
  • the preferred embodiments relate to a sensor button having a capacitive proximity sensor.
  • the sensor button may include a capacitive proximity sensor.
  • the sensor button includes at least one of an optical feedback means, an acoustic feedback means, and a tactile feedback means.
  • An optical feedback means may be a light source like a LED or a lamp.
  • An acoustic feedback means may be a speaker or other sound source.
  • a tactile feedback means may be a vibration generator, which may in addition be an acoustic feedback means.
  • the sensor button may by its feedback means provide feedback to a user, for example on a positive communication or to signal a specific vehicle, entrance, etc...
  • the sensor button may also forward a command to a user device like a cell phone to take a signaling action.
  • a signaling action may be a sound, a tactile signal, like a vibration, or a display, e.g. an entry request or a direction indication.
  • the sensor button may include an antenna, which may be part of a RF communication circuit.
  • the Antenna may be included into the sensor surface. It may be a cutout in the sensor surface.
  • the antenna may also be a separate component within the sensor button.
  • the antenna may also be the side wall of the sensor button or a part thereof.
  • a sensor button 100 which may be configured to be used in public transport system is shown.
  • the sensor button 100 includes a sensor surface 110 which may be touched or approached by a person to generate a sensor signal.
