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 Al.
  • 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.
  • EP 3 190567 Al discloses a switch which is coupled to a central transmitter and which can transmit a digital information to a cell phone where a user may select and virtually operate a switch.
  • the cell phone needs to communicate with the switch, the central transmitter and a remote computer hosting a database.
  • 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/or 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 additionally 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.

  • 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 includes a WiFi interface, by which it integrates into an onboard WiFi network or sets up a dedicated WiFi network as an access point.
  • a webserver listening on the WiFi interface may provide a website as a user interface. This website may be pushed to the user device via Captive Portal technology.
  • Captive Portal may provide information about the vehicle and/or the nearest door. It may further provide at least one means of communication with the vehicle, means for requesting opening of a door, means for requesting a vehicle stop, means for payment. This may all be operated from a standard web browser on the user device, therefore, it is not necessary to install a specific software or app.
  • the sensor button may be configured to at least one of a) localize a person for
  • identifying the absolute position of approach which may be done by using additional position or localization information, for example by using GPS. This allows further routing of passengers in a larger extent or e.g. in bus terminals. For these localization services, it is preferred if the provider of the public transport system provides an App or a program or a software for these services to the user. b) identifying a specific sensor button or door. This may specifically provide for a handicapped or blind person a guidance to locate a specific entrance of the public transport vehicle.
  • This may further be controlled by voice control.
  • the stop request may be sent by the user device automatically according to a personal travel plan stored in the user device or in a cloud, based on time and location information of the user device.
