Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for determining a change in at least one object, which is monitored by at least one sensor of a first communication unit, and for displaying this change in a second communication unit.
- the invention further relates to a device for carrying out the inventive method.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method for the simple, inexpensive and flexible determination of a change in at least one object and for displaying this change, in which an area can be defined variably or dynamically, and wherein the display of the change in the at least an object occurs depending on the position of the recipient to the area. Furthermore, a simple, inexpensive and flexible device for carrying out this method is to be created.
- the object can be immobile or movable, for example windows, doors or ignition locks of cars can be monitored by sensors. Likewise, people can be monitored by at least one sensor. It is also possible to monitor several objects using several sensors. In particular, optical sensors, temperature sensors, pressure or force sensors and acoustic sensors are used as sensors.
- a spatially limited area is determined in this method. This can be done by the first communication unit or the second communication unit. You can do this with one or both Communication units can be provided by means of which coordinates of a spatially limited area can be entered. The spatially limited area is chosen so that it encloses the at least one object, the position of the first communication unit and the position of the second communication unit. After determining the spatially limited area, the position of the second communication unit is determined again.
- the position determined in each case is compared with the coordinates of the spatially limited area and, in the event that the position of the second communication unit lies outside the spatially limited area, when the at least one monitored object changes, corresponding information about this from the first communication unit to the second communication unit transmitted.
- the transmission takes place by radio.
- the information transmitted about the object is displayed in the second communication unit. This can be done acoustically, optically or mechanically, for example by vibration.
- the respective position of the second communication unit can be compared with the coordinates of the spatially limited area in the first communication unit or in the second communication unit.
- the respective position of the second communication unit is transmitted to the first communication unit beforehand.
- the second communication unit sends a message to the first communication unit in the case in which the second communication unit lies outside the spatially limited area.
- the first communication unit knows that in the event of a change in the at least one object, information about this is to be transmitted to the second communication unit.
- a method is advantageous in which the spatially limited area is determined repeatedly as long as the second communication unit changes its position and a predetermined distance between the first communication unit and the second communication unit is not exceeded. This means that the spatially limited area can be determined dynamically. As long as both the first communication unit and the second communication unit are in motion, a new spatially limited area around the first and the second communication unit is permanently determined.
- the first and the second communication unit move together in the same or approximately the same direction. Only when a predetermined distance between the first and second communication unit is exceeded is no new spatially limited area determined. The last spatially limited area is then relevant. The specified distance can be determined variably. However, it is advantageous if it is not more than a few meters.
- a method is preferred in which, after determining that the position of the second communication unit lies outside the spatially limited area, the second communication unit sends a request about the state of the at least one object to the first communication unit, and the first communication unit verifies the second one Carries out communication unit and transmits a change in the state of the monitored object to the second communication unit upon positive verification of the second communication unit.
- the first communication unit transmits changes to the status of the monitored object to an authorized recipient, in this case the second communication unit.
- the first communication unit recognizes the authorization of the second communication unit. The verification can take place, for example, on the basis of a transmitted telephone number.
- a change in the state of the monitored object is transmitted to a number of previously selected communication units by the first communication unit.
- information can be forwarded to various authorized locations so that appropriate measures can be taken there.
- position coordinates are specified for determining the spatially limited area or a first position is determined via a position determination system and a area is defined around this first position.
- the coordinates of the area are known and can be forwarded to the first or second communication unit.
- the coordinates of the area can also be entered directly into one or both communication units using a keyboard.
- the position of the first communication unit or the second communication unit can be determined via a position determination system, such as a GPS system or another satellite navigation system, such as the European positioning system Galileo. This can be done directly in one of the communication units.
- a method is also advantageous in which, when leaving the second communication unit of the spatially limited area, the current position of the second communication unit is repeatedly sent to the first communication unit, which indicates this.
- the first communication unit can determine where the second communication unit is currently located if it is outside the spatially limited area.
- a method is also advantageous in which the transmission of data by radio modules takes place in the first communication unit and the second communication unit.
- Data, which are transmitted in this method are coordinates of the position of the first or second communication unit, coordinates of the spatially limited area, detection data of a communication unit and information about the state of the at least one object to be monitored.
- a device with the features of claim 8 can carry out a previously described method.
- the first communication unit sends information about this to the second communication unit as soon as the second communication unit has left a previously determined spatially limited space.
- the object to be monitored and the first communication unit are located within the spatially limited area. This means that the spatially limited space encloses the first and second communication unit and the at least one object to be monitored.
- a positioning system is used within the second communication unit. On the basis of satellite positioning, this position determination system determines the current, exact position of the second communication unit.
- This respective position of the second communication unit is compared with the coordinates of the spatially limited area and as soon as it is determined that the position of the second communication unit is no longer within the spatially limited area, information about this is changed in the form of a change in the state of the object to be monitored Signals sent from the first communication unit to the second communication unit.
- the determination of whether the second communication unit has left the spatially limited area can either take place in the second communication unit itself or after the current position of the second communication unit has been sent to the first communication unit in the first communication unit.
- the first communication unit also has a position determination system.
- the spatially limited area can also be determined by the first communication unit.
- the first communication unit and / or the second communication unit has at least one display.
- an optical display can take place.

- FIG. 2 shows a device for carrying out the method for determining a change in monitored objects
- Figure 3 shows an example of a first communication unit
- Figure 4 shows an example of a second communication unit.
- a device 6 for carrying out the method for determining a change in at least one object 3, here three objects, which are monitored by a first communication unit 1 by at least one sensor 4, and for displaying this change in a second communication unit 2 , in which a spatially limited area 5 is determined by the first communication unit 1 or the second communication unit 2, which encloses the position of the first communication unit 1, the objects 3 and the position of the second communication unit 2, in which the second communication unit 2 by a Position determination system 7 repeatedly determines its respective position, in which the respectively determined position of the second communication unit 2 is compared with the coordinates of the spatially limited area 5, and in the case of a change in one of the objects 3, information about this from the first communication unit 1 to second communication unit 2 transmitted by radio and displayed there when the position of the second communication unit 2 is outside the spatially limited area 5.
- a spatially limited area 5 is first defined. This can be done via an input device (not shown) in the first 1 or second communication unit 2 respectively. Furthermore, the position of a communication unit, in FIG. 1 of the second communication unit 2, can first be determined via a position determination system 7, a satellite positioning system. On the basis of this determined position, a spatially limited area 5 can then be defined by a processor unit 8 in one of the communication units 1, 2. This can be, for example, an area with a radius of a few meters around the determined position. When determining the spatially limited area 5, the two communication units 1, 2 are arranged close to one another, so that the spatially limited area 5 encloses the position of both communication units 1, 2.
- the first communication unit 1 has one or more sensors 4, which monitor one or more objects 3, here three objects.
- the sensors 4 can be used to determine changes in the objects 3.
- the sensors 4 can be acoustic or optical sensors, temperature sensors, force or pressure sensors or length measuring sensors.
- the objects 3 to be monitored can be movable or immovable. For example, ignition locks of vehicles, windows or doors of vehicles or buildings, but also people can be monitored.
- After defining the spatially limited area 5, information about this is sent from the first communication unit 1 to the second communication unit 2 when there is a change to an object 3. This, however, only if it has been determined that the position of the second communication unit 2 lies outside the spatially limited area 5. This is monitored. That is, the position of the second communication unit 2 is continuously determined by a position determination system 7.
- the respectively determined current position is compared in a processor unit of the second communication unit 2 itself with the coordinates of the spatially limited area 5. If it is determined that the position of the second communication unit 2 lies outside the spatially limited area 5, a message or a request, represented by arrow 10 in FIG. 1, is sent to the first communication Unit 1 sent.
- the request asks whether the state of the objects 3 has changed.
- the actual data is compared with target data of the respective objects 3 in the processor unit 8 of the first communication unit 1. If there is a discrepancy between the actual data and the target data, this indicates a change in the state of the respective object 3.
- the first communication unit If a change in a monitored object 3 has been determined, the first communication unit 1, after a request from the second communication unit 2, sends the information about the change in the object 3 to the second communication unit 2, see arrow with reference number 11 in FIG. 1.
- the second communication unit 2 has a display device 9 for displaying the incoming information regarding the change in the object 3.
- the respectively determined current position of the second communication unit 2 can also be sent to the first communication unit 1 and compared there with the coordinates of the spatially limited area 5 in a processor unit 8 of the first communication unit 1. If it is determined there that the second communication unit 2 lies outside the spatially limited area 5, information is sent to the second communication unit 2 when the state of a monitored object 3 changes and is displayed there.
- the display can be made acoustically, mechanically and / or optically.
- this device 6 or this method would be conceivable for securing buildings.
- security-related objects such as windows and doors
- the first communication unit 1 informs it of a change in the state of the monitored objects 3. I.e. leaving the second communication unit 2 is carried out by means of a Position determination method with subsequent comparison of the determined position with the coordinates of the previously determined spatially limited area 5.
- the second communication unit 2 sends a request to the first communication unit 1 about the state of the monitored objects 3.
- the first communication unit 1 sends this to the second Communication unit 2. If no change has taken place, no information is sent to the second communication unit 2 either.
- the reason that the second communication unit 2 receives information about a change in the state of an object 3 only after leaving the spatially limited area 5 is that otherwise the receiver, which is provided with the second communication unit 2, displays a change receives, although he can still notice this change himself, since he is still close to the monitored objects 3.
- the recipient usually a person, with the second communication unit 2 should only be notified when he himself can no longer perceive the change in the state of an object 3.
- a first communication unit 1 is permanently installed in a vehicle. Sensors 4 of the first communication unit 1 monitor the ignition lock, the doors and windows of the vehicle, for example.
- the second communication unit 2 is assigned to the driver or to a specific holder in the vehicle. As long as the vehicle is moving, the current position is continuously determined by the first communication unit 1 or second communication unit 2 and the spatially limited area 5 is determined by a corresponding processor unit of the first communication unit 1 or second communication unit 2. This will always bell again true, ie dynamic.
- the spatially limited area 5 is no longer redefined. If the driver leaves the last defined spatially limited area 5 with the second communication unit 2, the latter sends a request 10 to the first communication unit 1 about the state of the monitored objects, ie the doors, the windows or the ignition lock. In the event of a change in the status of the monitored objects, the second communication unit 2 is notified by the first communication unit 1 so that the driver can react accordingly.
- a device 6 described above is shown in FIG.
- the position of the second communication unit 2 is sent to the first communication unit 1, see arrow with reference numeral 12.
- the use of such a device 6 is conceivable, for example, in the medical field.
