Definitions
- the invention relates to a manipulation protection system for program signal distribution systems, in particular for antenna signal distribution systems.
- DE 37 04 405 Cl describes a release box for supplying authorized receivers with selected television programs.
- a release socket is attached to a standard antenna socket of an antenna system, which is supplied from a central unit with signals for releasing television channels authorized to receive in accordance with the reception authorization of a specific receiver.
- the release box releases certain program blocks via filters if the participant is authorized to purchase them.
- the authorization is stored in the central unit, which controls the release via a signal in such a way that the release socket of a particular subscriber, which is known according to the location and location of the central unit, is addressed and then releases various transmission areas by removing filter groups.
- each release box is constantly called up by the control center and its switching status is checked, the release box requesting the release by means of a signal generator via return signals from the central unit.
- the release box in this central control system can only work in cooperation with the head office. It also receives its operating voltage from there.
- the feedback signal is interrupted and this interruption is stored and registered in the central unit.
- An operator working on the central unit recognizes that a defect or manipulation has occurred. If manipulation is really carried out, the end participant who has carried out the technical manipulation initially continues to receive the program group to which he actually does not have access authorization. Only after the program provider has gained access to the end connection of the subscriber in question and the manipulation has been determined is the reception of the program group blocked for the subscriber.
- REPLACEMENT BLA ⁇ (RULE 26) It is therefore the task of creating a manipulation protection system which immediately blocks program reception for a manipulating end user with little technical effort.
- Such a system describes, for example, US Pat. No. 4,443,815 in such a way that the effect described here is also achieved here, too, the signal for a subscriber is switched off by a relay, as a result of which the manipulator is punished by switching off the signal from a point to which he has no access
- the US inventor relates the description of the invention to the shutdown to the subscriber port, which is only available in star distribution networks.
- the TAP is referred to here as "pad"
- the signal cut-off is caused by an interruption or short circuit.
- the flowing current is measured, which is of no importance in the US invention. This enables the string to be switched off at a certain point, precisely at the point before the manipulator sits According to the US invention, only stub lines can be switched off. A deliberate interruption at a certain point in the line is not possible.
- the system registered here is also suitable for tree networks. The possibility that the US inventor connects the "security devices" in series and thus forms a "manipulation circuit" is neither possible here , still described It is therefore not possible to use this US system in the tree.
- the disconnection elements are in the feeder and if they were inserted into a trunk line with the formulated description, the release mechanism (here coil to ground) would block the cascaded system itself.
- the American invention has another enormous disadvantage

- a safety feed device 1 is connected to the signal line 2, the signal line 2 being distributed to signal lines 55 and 56 on a distributor 54 with direct current passage.
- the signal and the safety voltage at distribution devices 60 or antenna sockets 59 are branched off at taps 57 and / or 57a with or without a tamper protection device.
- Several common antenna sockets 61 without tamper protection can be connected in parallel to the distribution devices 60, into which a plurality of tamper protection devices are integrated.
- loop-through system shown in FIG. 6 can be combined as desired with the star distribution system shown in FIG. 7.
- FIG. 8 shows the distributor device shown in FIG. 7 here in detail as a 6-way branch tap 60.

- the voltage at node 7a is decoupled through the decoupling circuit 7 of the manipulation protection device 3 onto the bypass line 8.
- the decoupled DC voltage leads to a direct current through the measuring resistor 19 and the series resistor 35 to be provided, since in normal operation the signal line 2 and the bypass line 8 is switched to continuity, ie the switches 12, 13 of the switching device 11 are switched such that the switch contact 12a is connected to the switch contact 12b and the switch contact 13a is connected to the switch contact 13b
- the direct current conducted through the bypass line 8 thus reaches the node 18 via the diode 36 and the choke 37a. From there it reaches, for example, another antenna socket with a tamper protection device via the output signal line 2.
- the change in direct current caused by the manipulation in the bypass line 8 of the upstream manipulation device 3 causes the measuring resistor 1 to operate Chen the nodes 21, 22 a voltage drop change, which is detected by the differential amplifier 20 between the input terminals 24 and 29 and then amplified by the amplifier 20

- the amplifier device 20 holds the pulse, ie the control signal is present at the switching device 11 after the current change has been detected until it is only reset when the safety voltage is switched off.
- the control signal present causes a control circuit contained in the switching device 11 di switches 12 and 13 of the switching device 1 1 to switch from a forward switching position to a blocking switching position. In the forward switching position, the switching contacts 12a and 12b of the switch 12 and the switching contacts 13a and 13b of the switch 13 are connected.
- the forward switching position corresponds to an operation in which no manipulation has been detected or in which there is no safety voltage in the distribution network and thus on the signal line 2.
- the control signal applied to the control signal line causes the switch 12 to switch to the blocking switch position in which the switch contact 12a is connected to the switch contact 12c, whereby the signal line 2 is switched to the terminating resistor 15.
- the switch contact 13a is separated from the switch contact 13b and switched to the switch contact 13c of the switch 13. This switch-over separates the antenna socket downstream of the manipulation protection device from the reception of the high-frequency program signal. Switching the signal line 2 by means of the switch 12 to the terminating resistor 15 ensures that the previous function of this component, for example as an antenna socket with tamper protection, as shown in Fig. 4, is retained.
- the switchover of the switch 13 causes the current flow via the diode 36 and the choke 37a to the next participant to be interrupted.
- the direct current flowing through the bypass line 8 is derived to ground after the switch 13 has been switched over via the load discharge resistor 17.
- a recognizable current continues to flow through the respective measuring resistor 19 for all upstream tamper protection devices in the safety voltage circuit, and there is no chain reaction due to further shutdowns.
- This can also be prevented by the optionally provided electrolytic capacitor 32, which slows down the abrupt change in current, as a result of which the detection of preceding ones
- Tamper protection elements is prevented.
- An electronic holding device in the amplifier device 20 holds the pulse, which is supplied via the control line 10 to the switching device 11, until the safety supply voltage, which is coupled out via the decoupling circuit 7 and supplies the amplifier circuit with voltage via lines 23, 25, once at the reset Button 48 of the safety feed device 1 is interrupted, whereby the entire system is briefly de-energized or de-energized.
- this one-time interruption of the safety voltage at the safety feed device 1 for example by an operator or also by remote control, there is no voltage at the amplifier 20 for a short time and thus no control signal at the control signal line 10, and the switching device 11 switches back to the open position. As a result, the downstream antenna sockets are again supplied with the program signal.
- the switching device 11 In the de-energized delivery state, the switching device 11 is in the through switching position, i.e. contact 12a is connected to contact 12b and contact 3a is connected to contact 13b. This switch position is maintained throughout the normal operating state. If a manipulation is carried out on a downstream antenna socket by a current change in the safety circuit, switches
- REPLACEMENT SHEET (RULE 28) the manipulation protection device 3 connected upstream of the manipulated device to the blocking switch position in order to try to compensate the current change at the measuring resistor 19, for example by feeding a DC voltage in the opposite direction to transmit the program signal, this prevents the diode 36 connected in the bypass line 8.
- the manipulator is therefore in each In case of being forced to report to the program provider and to have the technical manipulation removed or eliminated, the program provider can then simply switch the subscriber on again remotely by simply opening and closing the switch 48 in the safety feed device 1
- the manipulation protection system provides an excellent instrument for the network operator to protect his system and his users from third-party interventions To protect Those who unauthorized disconnected, clamped, removed, damaged or changed components, must expect due to the tamper protection system according to the invention that this intervention on the upstream component in the signal flow causes an interruption of the outgoing program signal from the upstream component, so that it lasts receives no signal until the network operator first causes the shutdown and then the restart of a safety voltage, which then all components with elek tronic signal cut-out is switched on again This can also be done remotely
- the specific current for the safety voltage supply device 1 which is different for each system, to store it in the latter, and to compare or compare it with the current that is set after the reset button is pressed.
- the current values are before and after the manipulation is the same size, the manipulation did not cause any change, the distribution system is ultimately intact and does not need to be further examined
- the invention is suitable not only for preventing the number of unauthorized interventions, for example in operators' antenna distribution networks, but also for effectively preventing program theft and thus, for example, forgery of documents or enrichment of third parties at the expense of the general public
