Abstract

contraption for the identification and location of persons and objects as well as the Sensors of their states, characterized in that in a device (1) at least one WLAN module (2), GSM module (3), RFID module (4), sensor receiver (5), microcontroller (6) and an interface (7) for connecting an external RFID module (8) is integrated.

Description

The The invention relates to a device for identification and location of persons and objects as well as the sensors of their states. The identification and location of objects is known.

That's how it describes US 2005/0030160 A1 a multi-mode wireless local area network radio frequency identification asset tag intended for use in a WLAN / RFID system. The asset tag consists of a processor coupled to the processor with an RFID antenna to send the information from an RFID reader. The RFID reader is coupled to a wireless transceiver. The wireless transceiver is configured to send and receive information about a wireless access port and a wireless local area network. At the same time, the information from the RFID receiver is transmitted to a system in the LAN. However, here only one transmission takes place and no local information storage and further evaluation with predetermined value ranges and / or information of another RFID reader or sensor receiver.

Furthermore, in the US 6,847,912 B2 discloses a device for measuring the temperature in transport containers, in which via a communication module which is combined with a temperature sensor, the temperature measurement data of the transport container are transmitted wirelessly to a receiver. These can be transmitted cyclically as well as only when predetermined value ranges are exceeded. However, there is no local response to the events as well as no combination with other possible states, such as additional wireless sensors or RFID information.

In the US 7,221,270 B2 A temperature-tracking and monitoring system for transport units is shown and described. This system is for the satellite-based transmission of temperature and GPS position data from a delivery vehicle triggered by an authorized identification card (RFID) to a central monitoring and monitoring system. With this system, a temperature information and their location at a certain time, triggered by RFID identification, transmitted. There is also no on-site reaction when certain ranges of values are exceeded and no comparison / combination with other sensors or RFID tags.

Also in the US 7,224,273 B2 describes a device for the wireless transmission of information about a container. In addition to the position data of the container in particular temperature data are transmitted to the solid, liquid and / or gaseous substances in the container and their level. This device is only suitable for the task described. It is not possible to perform a person and / or object identification nor are the measured values evaluated in situ in any way.

All these technical solutions for identification and location Of objects have certain property described in the patents are. They can be used exactly for this purpose.

task The invention is to disclose a device which various functionalities for identification and Location of persons and objects as well as the sensors of their states can map with just one device and configuration tables and Log data via only one interface of an external device be replaced with the device. This makes it possible the most diverse applications, eg. B. also in the cited references, with one and the same technical To realize solution.

According to the invention solves this problem by having only one device at least one WLAN module, GSM module, RFID module, sensor receiver, Microcontroller and an interface for connecting an external RFID module is integrated.

The has the particular advantage of being universally applicable and usable is. This is achieved by having only one Easy-to-configure software interface with various local Control functions in evaluation of various process and status information be populated from complex scenarios and this information about the described interface in various application software can flow into an external device.

preferred Areas of application are person access controls with a personnel time recording, Logistics, chemical plant monitoring etc.

The Invention will become apparent from an embodiment explained.

1 shows the standard identification, location and sensor system (SIOS).

To configure the device ( 1 ) for a specific application scenario are displayed on the external device ( 9 ) created in an interface program authorization tables containing for specific ID's, time and value ranges and control information. This table is accessed via the software interface of the external device ( 9 ) via the WLAN module ( 2 ) or GSM module ( 3 ) in the Flash memory ( 6.2 ) of the microcontroller ( 6 ), at the same time one in the flash memory ( 6.2 ) stored log file on the external device ( 9 ) transferred back.

Identifies the device ( 1 ) via the RFID reader ( 4 ) or ( 8th ) or the sensor receiver ( 5 ) the ID of an RFID iso card, an RFID tag or a radio sensor, this ID with the IDs of the authorization table in flash memory ( 6 . 2 ) compared. If the ID exists in the authorization table, the current time is still output from the RTC module ( 6.1 ) and, if applicable, the data from the wireless sensor are compared with the value ranges stored in the table, and when the over-alignment (true / false) is the relay module ( 6.3 ) for a time (t) stored in the table. If the control information "compare ID" is stored for a specific ID, the relay module ( 6.3 ) only when a further stored ID matches within a predetermined time. If the control information "compare ID" is also stored there, the process is repeated accordingly, so that IDs and status information can be combined.

Each comparison process is stored in a cyclic log file in the flash memory ( 6.2 ) with ID, RTC time and comparison value (true / fals). The log-file also logs the switch-on and switch-off time of the device ( 1 ), wherein the energy storage ( 6.4 ) still provides the necessary operating power for logging the off time.
