Description

The utility model relates to equipment designed to monitor the movement of moving objects and provide information about their location to registered subscribers, in particular, to coordinate monitoring systems and control of moving objects, and can be used in monitoring systems by several users for the movement of people associated with periodic visiting checkpoints.

The following terminology is used in the description:

Radio frequency identifier (tag, RFID tag) - consists of an antenna and an electronic chip in which a unique code is stored. Passive tags do not have a built-in energy source and work as follows: the electric current induced in the antenna by an electromagnetic signal from the reader provides sufficient power for the electronic chip located in the tag to function and transmit a radio signal containing a unique code ().

Cloud computing (cloud computing) is a data processing technology in which computer resources and capacities are provided to the user as an Internet service. The user has access to his own data, but can not manage and should not care about the infrastructure, operating system and the actual software with which he works. The term “Cloud” is used as a metaphor based on the image of the Internet on a diagram of a computer network, or as an image of a complex infrastructure, behind which all the technical details of tehnologii are hidden. According to the IEEE document published in 2008, “Cloud computing is a paradigm in which information is permanently stored on servers on the Internet and temporarily cached on the client side, for example, on personal computers, game consoles, laptops, smartphones, etc. . ".

IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers - an international non-profit association of specialists in the field of technology, a leader in the development of standards in radio electronics and electrical engineering.

The problem of controlling the movement of moving objects (people), whose mode includes regular presence at previously known points, has always existed and to this day does not have a qualitative solution. The main task is to control the location of a moving object (person) in accordance with the schedule (mode) of movement of moving objects, and control is carried out automatically and by an undefined number of registered users. There are several solutions for this task that have flaws, roads and are poorly distributed.

With the help of mobile phones, such control is not reliable and accurate: the object is in the zone of poor signal reception, the mobile phone is off, the mobile phone is discharged, or is simply absent from the object (forgotten elsewhere).

Known technical solution according to patent RU 2383107 C2 H04W 8/10, publ. 02/27/2010, "METHOD FOR PROVIDING MONITORING SERVICES FOR MOVING SUBSCRIBERS BETWEEN SERVICE ZONES OF CELLULAR MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND SYSTEM FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION", which allow providing subscribers with services to track their movements between third-party communication networks and network notification zones movements, i.e. a service for monitoring their movements between ATP networks of GSM and UMTS standards or segments of such networks and notification of recipients selected by the subscriber or other authorized person about the subscriber's arrival in a new place. This service, by monitoring and notifying automatically, will free subscribers from having to call or send short SMS messages about arrival each time they arrive at a new place. A known system comprising a block for receiving requests for monitoring, a main unit for service logic, a unit for interacting with a signal network, a block for outputting monitoring data, characterized in that the block for receiving requests is made containing a monitoring request analyzer, which allows checking the presence and correctness of the indication of the subscriber’s destination and of its time of arrival at the destination, the main block of the service logic is executed containing the processor of monitoring tasks and a database of monitoring tasks, allowing to compile and use set the monitoring schedule and start, in accordance with the latest at a certain time, the monitoring procedure, the territorial reference database, which allows checking the correspondence of the geographical location received from the address of the current serving business register with the geographical location declared by the initiator in the application when placing the application, an interaction unit with a signal the network is configured to contain a monitoring command handler and a MAP interface module that allows the use of operations from SMS short message settings, setting the wait flag in the home location register and a signal signal from the home location register about updating the subscriber’s location to record the moment of registration of the monitoring object in the new service area, the monitoring data output unit is made up of an information command processor, MAP interface module, allowing informing recipients about monitoring results using the SMS short message service in case of direct connection an output unit for monitoring data to the SS7 signaling network, an SMPP interface module that allows informing recipients of monitoring results using the SMS short message service in case of sending an SMS message through a third-party SMS messaging center, an MM7 interface module that allows recipients to be informed of monitoring results using the MMS multimedia messaging service, an SMTP interface module that allows informing recipients about monitoring results using e-mail services, an HTTP interface module that allows recipients to be informed of monitoring results using the http hypertext transfer protocol. A disadvantage of the known system is that it is not possible to track the presence of moving objects at control points, and after notification it is not possible to familiarize yourself with the monitoring results on the Internet. In addition, with the help of mobile phones, such monitoring is not reliable and accurate, there are many reasons for the impossibility of monitoring: the object is in the zone of poor signal reception, the mobile phone is turned off, the mobile phone is dead, or is simply absent from the object (forgotten elsewhere).

Closest to the claimed utility model is the technical solution according to the patent RU 2305327 C2 G08G 1/123, publ. August 27, 2007, “SYSTEM FOR MONITORING THE MOVEMENT AND STATE OF MOBILE OBJECTS”, which contains information storage devices installed on moving objects, radio frequency identifiers installed in the corresponding places of the motion path, an information collection unit installed at the end point of the motion path, and an information processing center. Radio-frequency identifiers form a response radio response to a request from the drive of a controlled object that has fallen into the zone of stable reception of information. The drive stores the information received from the radio-frequency identifiers and codes of the second-second samples generated by the internal timer, corresponding to the facts of registering signals from the corresponding radio-frequency identifiers. At the collection point, the drive transmits all the accumulated information to the information collection unit. In the information processing center, registered events are linked to real time and a complete picture is revealed about the directions and speed of the moving object. The installation of additional devices for registering the parameters of a moving object on a moving object with the storage of relevant information in the drive gives a complete picture of the state of the object being monitored during movement. Disadvantages: radio frequency identifiers are active, therefore, energy-intensive, which increases the cost of the system and operation, reduces the durability of the system, requires regular maintenance. In addition, an information processing center is required at each specific object, which leads to a rise in the cost and inconvenience of data collection, a limited reading area, and, as a result, low accuracy of data collection and control. Also, there is no system for sending information to registered users about visits by a moving object to control points in accordance with the schedule (mode) of movements.

The described disadvantages are solved by the claimed utility model, which works as follows. In the control points of the expected multiple visits, in accordance with the schedule of movements of the moving object, RFID tag readers are permanently installed (fixed on seals). The device contains a RFID reader, a microcontroller, a clock with a calendar, memory, a cellular module, a SIM card, indication elements, a power supply. Moving objects (for example, people) are equipped with RFID tags embedded in any object (for example, a card, bracelet, satchel, keychain, etc.). A passive RFID tag contains an antenna and a chip that stores a unique code.

During the execution of the movement schedule, the moving object becomes available for reading its RFID tag. Together with the tag code, the date and time of reading are recorded in the memory of the reader device.

To control the movement of a moving object by a registered subscriber, he needs a device to receive information, for example, a cell phone with the ability to receive SMS messages.

Upon completing the reading of the next RFID tag, its code in the reader device is recorded in flash memory and sent via the cellular communication channel to the Internet service along with the date, time and device identifier. Cloud Internet service finds in the database the name of the object associated with the identifier and the phone number associated with the tag code. An informational SMS is generated and sent to a cell phone. At the same time, the recipient of information - a registered subscriber can receive information in the form of messages through any other device for receiving information by going to the personal account of the Internet service. In the absence of communication, information is accumulated in the memory of the stationary reader device and sent when communication is restored. Each stationary reader device can serve as an unlimited number of moving objects - tags carriers, and an unlimited number of registered subscribers that monitor the schedule of visits to the control point (complex of control points). The registered subscriber has the ability to control by receiving an SMS message from the next control point on which the reader device is installed. It does not require software installation. Each device has a unique number associated with the installation location. The radio frequency tag has a code and a personal account associated with it. The registered subscriber logs into the site, enters the username and password, logs into the personal account, which is associated with the RFID tag code and the subscriber's phone number. In fact, the system is ready for operation immediately after switching on.

The uniqueness of the claimed technical solution lies in combining several modern technologies into a single technological solution. In fact, technologies are combined: RFID, GSM, Internet, SaaS.

Functionality of the claimed utility model: the system allows you to remotely, via the Internet to control the schedule of visits by a moving object to remote points with notification of registered subscribers.

The technical task of the claimed utility model is the uniqueness of monitoring visits by mobile objects to control points with immediate notification of registered subscribers about the fact of visiting in real time, reliability and continuity of control, the convenience of collecting and receiving information while reducing costs and minimizing the costs of the system.

A moving object equipped with a mark appears at the control point. The tag code in the database stored on the Internet is tied to the phone number of the registered subscriber. Readers are installed at control points of the schedule of visits. If reading occurs, the tag code is read by the device and sent via the cellular communication channel to the Internet service along with the date, time and device identifier. Then the Cloud Internet service finds in the database the name of the object associated with the identifier and the phone number associated with the tag code, after which an informational SMS is generated and sent to the cellphone. At the same time, the recipient of information - a registered subscriber can receive information in the form of messages through any other device for receiving information by going to the personal account of the Internet service.

A stationary reader device, in the presence of non-transmitted information in the memory, using the cellular communication module, establishes an Internet connection with the server and transmits information about reading passive tags, after which the memory of the stationary device is cleared. During the communication session, the stationary device synchronizes its clock with the clock of the exact time, as well as receives updated operation settings from the server.

An Internet service consists of: a database, an application interacting over communication channels, an application for a device manufacturer, an application for an end user, including a list of registered subscribers. End user - a registered subscriber has the opportunity of operational control by receiving SMS messages from the service on the Internet. In addition, the code can enter your personal account and receive accumulated information about the monitoring results.

The technical result is an increase in the accuracy and reliability of monitoring, providing operational control by notifying subscribers in real time, reducing costs and energy consumption.
