Durch die europäische Patentschrift EP 0 435 225 A2 ist eine Einrichtung dieser Art in Form eines Einkaufswagens bekannt. Zusammen mit dieser Einrichtung beschreibt die genannte Pa tentschrift ein Verfahren zum Versorgen verschiedener Abtei lungen eines Selbstbedienungsgeschäftes mit Informationen, wobei das Selbstbedienungsgeschäft eine Vielzahl von Ein kaufswagen aufweist. Den Abteilungen sind ferner Sende- und Empfangseinheiten zugeordnet, welche die entsprechenden In formationen in serieller Form über eine Infrarotstrecke über tragen. Die Informationen werden von den Empfangs- und Sende einheiten der Einkaufswagen empfangen, zwischengespeichert und anschließend auf einem Display der Empfangs- und Sende einheiten in geeigneter Weise wiedergegeben.The European patent EP 0 435 225 A2 is one Establishment of this type known in the form of a shopping cart. Together with this facility, the Pa tentschrift a process for supplying various abbeys a self-service store with information, the self-service business being a variety of one has a shopping cart. The departments are also broadcast and Assigned receiving units that the corresponding In formations in serial form over an infrared path wear. The information is sent by the receiving and sending Units of the shopping cart received, cached and then on a display of the receive and send units reproduced in a suitable manner.
Die zum Stand der Technik zählende Einrichtung weist Nachtei le auf, die darin bestehen, daß die Empfangs- und Sendeein heit als ein sogenanntes "aktives" Teil gestaltet ist, das auf eine Stromversorgung in Form eines Akkus oder in Form von Solarzellen angewiesen ist. Deshalb ist diese Empfangs- und Sendeeinheit als ein relativ großes Bauteil gestaltet, das verständlicherweise einen ebenso relativ großen Platzbedarf beansprucht. Da die Empfangs- und Sendeeinheit nur auf Infra rotbasis ansteuerbar ist, benötigt sie eine entsprechende Optik, die, was als Einschränkung zu werten ist, auf eine gewisse Richtungsabhängigkeit angewiesen ist. Ferner birgt die Optik den Nachteil der Gefahr der Verschmutzung in sich.The state-of-the-art facility has disadvantages le, which consist in the receiving and sending being is designed as a so-called "active" part that to a power supply in the form of a battery or in the form of Solar cells is dependent. Therefore this is receiving and Sending unit designed as a relatively large component that understandably an equally relatively large space requirement claimed. Since the receiving and transmitting unit only works on Infra red base can be controlled, it requires a corresponding one Optics, which, what is to be regarded as a limitation, to one certain directional dependence is instructed. It also contains the optics the disadvantage of the risk of pollution in itself.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, eine gat tungsgemäße Einrichtung so weiterzuentwickeln, daß die eben genannten Nachteile vermieden werden. The object of the invention is therefore a gat appropriate device to develop so that the level mentioned disadvantages can be avoided.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Empfangs- und Sendeeinheit als ein passives, auf Radiocontrol (RC-Basis) arbeitendes Bauteil gestaltet ist.The solution to the problem is characterized in that the Receiver and transmitter unit as a passive, on radio control (RC base) working component is designed.
Die Vorteile der Erfindung sind darin erkennbar, daß die Empfangs- und Sendeeinheiten keine externen Spannungs- bzw. Stromquellen benötigen, so daß eine äußerst kleine Bauweise erzielbar ist. In zweckmäßiger Weise wird vielmehr die Ener gieversorgung innerhalb der Empfangs- und Sendeeinheit durch Funksignale aktiviert, die von einer ohnehin vorhandenen externen Sende- und Empfangseinheit ausgehen. Da die Über mittlung der Informationen über Funkkontakt erfolgt, ist die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung keiner Richtungsabhängigkeit unterworfen. Schließlich besteht ein weiterer bedeutender Vorteil darin, daß durch die äußerst kleine Bauweise der Empfangs- und Sendeeinheit diese bevorzugt in aus Kunststoff gefertigte Bauteile der Einrichtung einfügbar ist, die ohne hin an der Einrichtung zum Erfüllen anderer Zwecke erforder lich sind.The advantages of the invention can be seen in that the Receiver and transmitter units no external voltage or Power sources need, so an extremely small size is achievable. Rather, the Ener is more appropriately energy supply within the receiving and transmitting unit Radio signals activated by an already existing one external transmitter and receiver unit. Because the over The information is transmitted via radio contact device according to the invention no directional dependence subject. Finally, there is another significant one Advantage in that the extremely small size of the The receiving and transmitting unit is preferably made of plastic manufactured components of the device can be inserted without towards the facility to fulfill other purposes are.
Die Erfindung wird anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles näher beschrieben.The invention is illustrated by an embodiment described.
Die Zeichnung zeigt eine Einrichtung 1 in Form eines herkömm lichen Einkaufswagens 2, wie er in Selbstbedienungsgeschäften üblich ist. Der Einkaufswagen 2 trägt an geeigneter Stelle eine Empfangs- und Sendeeinheit 6. Geeignete Stellen am Ein kaufswagen 2 sind beispielsweise der Handgriff 3 oder jene Kappen 4, die den Handgriff 3 tragen, oder aber die bekannten Münzschlösser 5, welche mittlerweile fast an jedem Einkaufs wagen 2 zu finden sind. In diese Teile kann die stabförmige, etwa 1,5 cm lange und eine Dicke von etwa 3 mm aufweisende Empfangs- und Sendeeinheit 6 in passende Hohlräume eingelegt oder kalt eingegossen werden. Eine Empfangs- und Sendeeinheit 6 dieser Art ist z. B. als "passives" elektronisches Bauteil der Fa. Texas Instruments unter dem Namen "Transponder" bekannt, so daß auf eine ausführliche Beschreibung des tech nischen Aufbaues dieser Empfangs- und Sendeeinheit 6 verzich tet werden kann. Zum weiteren Verständnis der Erfindung ist es allerdings wichtig zu wissen, daß die Empfangs- und Sende einheit 6 mit einer Antenne zur Aufnahme und zur Abgabe von Funksignalen ausgestattet ist. Ferner besitzt sie einen nichtflüchtigen Schreib-Lesespeicher, in der Fachsprache auch "EEProm" genannt. Die Funkfrequenz selbst beträgt etwa 134 kHz.The drawing shows a device 1 in the form of a conven union trolley 2 , as is common in self-service shops. The shopping cart 2 carries a receiving and transmitting unit 6 at a suitable point. Suitable places on a shopping trolley 2 are, for example, the handle 3 or those caps 4 that carry the handle 3 , or the known coin locks 5 , which now can be found on almost every shopping trolley 2 . In these parts, the rod-shaped receiving and transmitting unit 6 , which is approximately 1.5 cm long and has a thickness of approximately 3 mm, can be inserted into suitable cavities or cast in cold. A receiving and transmitting unit 6 of this type is, for. B. known as a "passive" electronic component from Texas Instruments under the name "transponder", so that a detailed description of the technical structure of this receiving and transmitting unit 6 can be waived. For a further understanding of the invention, however, it is important to know that the receiving and transmitting unit 6 is equipped with an antenna for receiving and delivering radio signals. It also has a non-volatile read-write memory, also known as "EEProm". The radio frequency itself is approximately 134 kHz.
Um die Empfangs- und Sendeeinheit 6 ansprechen und aktivie ren zu können, ist im Einsatzgebiet der Einrichtung 1 wenig stens eine Sende- und Empfangseinheit 7 extern installiert, deren Funkfrequenz der Funkfrequenz der Empfangs- und Sende einheit 6 entspricht. Die Sende- und Empfangseinheit 7 ist mit einer beispielsweise als Laptop gestalteten elektroni schen Datenauswertestation 8 gekoppelt, welche die von der Empfangs- und Sendeeinheit 6 der Einrichtung 1 abgegebenen Informationen verarbeitet oder entsprechende Befehle über die Sende- und Empfangseinheit 7 an die Empfangs- und Sendeein heit 6 weitergibt. Die zur Stromversorgung der Empfangs- und Sendeeinheit 6 erforderlichen Bauteile sind in der Empfangs- und Sendeeinheit 6 integriert. Die Stromerzeugung wird durch die von der Sende- und Empfangseinheit 7 ausgesandten Funk signale aktiviert.And responsive to the receiving and transmitting unit 6 to activa reindeer, in the field of use of the device 1 is installed little least a transmitting and receiving unit 7 externally whose radio frequency of the radio frequency of the receiving and transmitting unit 6 corresponds. The transmitting and receiving unit 7 is coupled to an electronic data evaluation station 8 designed, for example, as a laptop, which processes the information given by the receiving and transmitting unit 6 of the device 1 or corresponding commands via the transmitting and receiving unit 7 to the receiving and transmitting unit Unit 6 passes on. The components required to supply power to the receiving and transmitting unit 6 are integrated in the receiving and transmitting unit 6 . The power generation is activated by the radio signals emitted by the transmitting and receiving unit 7 .
Die Erfindung ermöglicht es beispielsweise festzustellen, welche Anzahl als Einkaufswagen 2 gestaltete Einrichtungen 1 sich gerade in einem Markt und eventuell auch wo im Markt be finden. Externe Informationsgeräte können beispielsweise durch die Einrichtung 1 zur Abgabe von Informationen auf elektronischer Basis veranlaßt werden. Auch ist es denkbar, die Einrichtung 1 zu nutzen, wenn z. B. Durchgänge in einem Selbstbedienungsgeschäft nur in einer vorbestimmten Richtung passiert werden dürfen. Dies sollen nur einige Beispiele der Anwendbarkeit der neuen Einrichtung 1 sein.The invention makes it possible, for example, to determine the number of devices 1 designed as shopping carts 2 that are currently in a market and possibly also where in the market. External information devices can be caused, for example, by the device 1 to supply information on an electronic basis. It is also conceivable to use the device 1 if, for. B. Passages in a self-service shop may only be passed in a predetermined direction. These are just a few examples of the applicability of the new device 1 .
Die Einrichtung 1 kann beispielsweise auch als Transportwagen 2 allgemeiner Art gestaltet sein. Sie ist aber auch als stationärer Gegenstand oder als stationäres Gerät denkbar, beispielsweise als Schwenktüre, wie sie in Selbstbedienungs geschäften üblich ist. Die Erfindung läßt es deshalb offen, welche weiteren Einrichtungen 1, ob fahrbar oder stationär, im Sinne der Erfindung denkbar sind.The device 1 can, for example, also be designed as a transport carriage 2 of a general type. But it is also conceivable as a stationary object or as a stationary device, for example as a swing door, as is common in self-service shops. The invention therefore leaves open which other devices 1 , whether mobile or stationary, are conceivable in the sense of the invention.
