Description

The invention relates to an information device for the transmission of Zu status descriptions of a temporarily stationary and / or movable object a temporarily moving, stationary or temporarily stopping receiver Radio transmission of digital signals.

Several remote monitoring devices are known, by means of their objects and / or people are protected. From DE 195 12 959 A1 is the creation an inexpensive remote monitoring device known using Vi deodorant devices that face the object to be monitored are order. This is done via a telecommunication system, namely ISDN Devices queried from a monitoring center and one to protect The person who approaches the object is briefly called using a mobile phone informed about the condition. Here, however, is the monitoring center required, which must be manned by one person around the clock. This ent there are already considerable costs. The same applies to video recording devices not exactly inexpensive.

Furthermore, a system for remote monitoring of rooms is known (DE 42 03 388 A1 This requires video telephones that are connected to a dial-up network are. This proposal also leads to considerable investment costs.  

The invention has for its object a simple, inexpensive, for ortsfe Automatic and remote monitoring can be used for moving and / or moving objects creation device.

The object is achieved according to the invention in that displayable data, Voice messages, switching impulses, optical or acoustic signals u. Like. from the moving or (temporarily) stationary object by means of itself in or on the object located sensor that with an interface for mobile radio communication an adaptation program tailored to the respective radio telephone sen and by means of a telephone device connected to the interface a mobile or fixed telephone device can be transmitted as a receiver. As All commercially available types of sensors can be used. The interface takes up a relatively small space (e.g. postcard format). For remote transmission supply a relatively inexpensive radio telephone (cell phone) can be used, so that the Complete device practically only from the sensors, the interface and a cell phone in addition to the connecting means and is therefore extremely cost-effective. The sending device can be used in buildings, ships, automobiles and (parked) aircraft or for monitoring living things (humans, animals) be used. Likewise, the receiving device can be stationary or mobile.

The information to be retrieved can be selected by selected commercially available Senso as a gas detector, smoke detector, water intrusion or water level detector, Fire detectors, intrusion detectors, voltage detectors and. Like. Be detected.

The functionality of the device is ensured by the interface on immovable or arranged on the moving object and to a power supplier supply is connected, its supply voltage with monitoring means Undervoltage is provided. This means that only battery power can be supplied Objects are monitored, such as B. Ships and automobiles.  

The interface as an essential feature of the invention consists of a Steuerge advises to which several sensors are connected, whereby the interface the signals detects the sensors and sends them to a landline or mobile phone network Forwards the recipient.

The forwarding of the message can be designed so that the interface one or recognizes several subscriber numbers of the recipient. This allows messages given to different locations.

The transmission of information at the point of entry can be both acoustic and done optically. For this it is provided that in the interface the signal of a Sensor corresponding voice message is stored.

It is also advantageous that the information of the interface when not acknowledged by the recipient is repeatable within a specified period of time.

In addition, the invention is designed such that the interface at An the information would go back to its idle state is resettable.

According to other features, it is proposed that an external dis play is assigned for displayable information.

As an example of other possible uses, it is proposed that PIN Change the mobile device an analog changed configuration in the interface can be stored so that this new PIN can be transferred in the interface in the future.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is in following described in more detail.  

Show it

Fig. 2 shows the interface on an enlarged scale and

Fig. 3 is a block diagram of the control unit formed in the interface.

The information facility for the transmission of condition descriptions, such as e.g. B. fire, smoke, impermissible temperatures, open or closed states, what resistances, electrical voltages and such mechanical, physical or chemical state variables, is used for the transmission of state descriptions boys of a temporary or always stationary and / or moving object, such as e.g. B. a building, a motor vehicle, a ship, an aircraft, etc., or to monitor living beings (humans, animals), with the information on a temporarily moving, stationary or temporarily stopping receiver Radio transmission of digital signals is transmitted.

The status descriptions consist of displayable data, voice messages, switching impulses, optical or acoustic signals and the like. Like. And are from the moving or (temporarily) stationary object 1 by means of a sensor 3 located in or on the object 1 , which is connected to an interface 4 for mobile radio communication with an adaptation program 5 matched to the respective radio telephone and by means of a device 6 connected to the interface 4 to a mobile or fixed telephone device 7 as the receiver 2 .

The sensor 3 may vary depending on the intended use of a gas detector 3 a, a smoke detector 3 b, a Wassereinbruch- / water level detector 3 c, 3 d a fire detector, an intrusion detector 3 e u. Like exist.

The interface 4 is arranged on the stationary or moving object 1 and connected to a power supply 8 , the supply voltage of which is provided with monitoring means 14 for undervoltage.

The interface 4 forms a control unit 4 a, to which one or more sensors 3 a - 3 e are connected, the interface 4 recognizing the signals 9 obtained by the sensors 3 a - 3 e and into a fixed telephone network or a mobile radio network 10 forwards the receiver 2 . The interface 4 can recognize one or more subscriber numbers of the receiver 2 in order to avoid an impermissible transmission of the information.

A voice message 11 corresponding to the signal 9 of one or more sensors 3 a - 3 e is stored in the interface 4 . The information of the interface 4 is repeated if the receiver 2 does not acknowledge it within a fixed period of one minute to several hours. When acknowledging the information that the interface 4 sends to the receiver 2 , the interface 4 can be reset by the receiver 2 to its idle state. An (external) display 12 for the display of information 13 that can be represented can also be assigned to the interface 4 . Such information can be shown on a display from the mobile radio network 10 via the telephone device 6 , the interface 4 .

The interface 4 ( Fig. 3) has the aforementioned power supply 8 , to the monitoring means 14 are connected to control the voltage measurement. The standard voltage can e.g. B. 12 volts or 24 volts and 220 volt if the mains voltage is possible. A slave processor 15 is operated with the standard voltage for the purpose of energy saving, to which the inputs 16 of the sensors 3 are connected. The slave processor 15 and the power supply 8 are each connected via separate lines to a switch 17 which is switched to a master processor 18 , which itself communicates with the slave processor 15 . A position detector 19 (GPS = Global Positioning System) is also connected to the master processor 18 and supplies corresponding position data in order to determine the current location of the interface 4 . In addition, a non-volatile memory 20 is located on the master processor 18 . A telephone coupling 21 and a voice chip for voice messages 11 are also connected to the master processor. The voice chip 11 is used for voice reproduction and voice recording in connection with the telephone connection 21 , the latter using a frequency decoder 22 and a dial tone detection 23 to the master processor 18 . The dial tone detection 23 is used to acknowledge an alarm message by the receiver 2 and it is possible to operate remotely for switching operations.
