In Figur 1 ist eine schematische Darstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen Signalgebers 1 dargestellt. Der Signalgeber 1 weist eine erste Schnittstelle 10 auf. Die erste Schnittstelle 10 ist ausgebildet und eingerichtet eine Kommunikationsverbindung 12 mit einer Komponente 32 einer Einbruchmeldeanlage 30 herzustellen. Beispielhaft ist der Signalgeber 1 mittels der ersten Schnittstelle 10 mit der Zentrale 32 einer Einbruchmeldeanlage 30 verbunden. Zwischen der Zentrale 32 und der ersten Schnittstelle besteht eine Kommunikationsverbindung 12. Die Verbindung kann abhängig von der Kategorie der Einbruchmeldeanlage 30 kabelgebunden oder drahtlos hergestellt werden.

Unter einer Einbruchmeldeanlage, umgangssprachlich auch als Alarmanlage bezeichnet, sind technische, heute ausschließlich elektronisch betriebene Einrichtungen, die dem Objekt- und Personenschutz dienen zu verstehen. Eine Einbruchmeldeanlage soll durch Abschreckung Einbrüche, Diebstähle und Überfälle verhindern, im Notfall hilfeleistende Dienste (Polizei, Sicherheitsdienst etc.) benachrichtigen, die Aktionszeit von Dieben, Bankräubern usw. minimieren, die unmittelbare Umgebung sowie beteiligte, anwesende Personen alarmieren, helfen.A burglar alarm system, colloquially also known as an alarm system, is a technical device, which is now exclusively electronically operated, that serves to protect property and people. A burglar alarm system is designed to prevent break-ins, thefts and assaults by deterring people, to notify emergency services (police, security services, etc.) in an emergency, to minimize the time it takes for thieves, bank robbers, etc. to act, and to alert the immediate area and any people present who are involved, and to provide assistance.

Einbruchmeldeanlagen 30 werden in drei Kategorien eingeteilt.Burglar alarm systems 30 are divided into three categories.

Bei einer Einbruchmeldeanlage der Kategorie Gleichstromtechnik fließt ein elektrischer Strom zwischen zwei Punkten innerhalb der Anlage über einen Melder. In einer Zentrale wird eine Spannung gemessen. Kommt es zu einer Überschreitung oder Unterschreitung einer definierten Spannung, wird dieses als Alarm oder Sabotage gewertet. Wird ein Alarm oder eine Sabotage ermittelt, wird diese als Nachricht an den Signalgeber gesendet. Die Nachricht kann hierbei mittels einer Änderung der Spannung, des Stroms, dem Schließen eines Stromkreises oder der Frequenz gesendet werden.In a burglar alarm system in the direct current category, an electric current flows between two points within the system via a detector. A voltage is measured in a control center. If a defined voltage is exceeded or undershot, this is considered an alarm or sabotage. If an alarm or sabotage is detected, it is sent as a message to the signaling device. The message can be sent by changing the voltage, current, closing a circuit or frequency.

Bei einer Einbruchmeldeanlage der Kategorie Bustechnik werden alle Melder über einen Bus, insbesondere einem Adernpaar oder zwei Adernpaare, angeschlossen. Bei dem Bus handelt es sich um eine Datenleitung. Ferner dient sie der Stromversorgung der angeschlossenen Geräte, insbesondere Melder.In a burglar alarm system in the bus technology category, all detectors are connected via a bus, in particular one or two pairs of wires. The bus is a data line. It also serves to supply power to the connected devices, in particular detectors.

Bei einer Einbruchmeldeanlage der Kategorie Funktechnik, arbeiten die Anlagen im 433 MHz und 863 MHz Bereich. Die mit Funktechnik arbeitenden Anlagen arbeiten, wie die Busanlagen, nur, dass die Verkabelung des Busses durch Funk ersetzt wurde. Die Melder haben einen Energiespeicher, welcher die Energieversorgung darstellt.In the case of a burglar alarm system in the radio technology category, the systems work in the 433 MHz and 863 MHz range. The systems that work with radio technology work like the bus systems, except that the bus wiring has been replaced by radio. The detectors have an energy storage device that provides the energy.

Ferner können bekannte Einbruchmeldeanlagen Signalgeber, Wahlgeräte, Videospeicher, Fotokameras, Videokameras und/oder Ereignisdrucker umfassen.Furthermore, known burglar alarm systems can include signal generators, voting machines, video storage, photo cameras, video cameras and/or event printers.

Handelt es sich bei der kabelgebundenen Einbruchmeldeanlage um eine Anlage der Kategorie Gleichstromtechnik, so handelt es sich bei den Nachrichten um Signale. Die Informationen der Nachrichten werden durch Änderung der Spannung, des Stroms, der Frequenz oder der Pulsweite kommuniziert. Bei einer Busverbindung sind die Nachrichten als Datenpakete ausgebildet. Die Datenpakete umfassen die Information.In the case of a wired connection, the first interface 10 has corresponding cable connectors and electrical components to record the incoming messages and/or generate outgoing messages. If the wired burglar alarm system is a system in the direct current technology category, the messages are signals. The information in the messages is communicated by changing the voltage, current, frequency or pulse width. In the case of a bus connection, the messages are designed as data packets. The data packets contain the information.

The optical signal is generated when the signal generator 1 receives a message, in particular an alarm message. The optical signal generator 4 has in particular a light element. In the triggered state, the signal generator usually generates a red flashing signal.

Der Signalgeber 1 wechselt in den ausgelösten Zustand, wenn er eine Nachricht, insbesondere eine Alarmnachricht empfängt. Die Nachricht kann als Spannungsveränderung, Stromänderung, Frequenzänderung eines Signals sein. Es kann aber auch als ein Datenpaket mit einer Information sein, die mittels Funk oder dem Bus übertragen wird.The signal generator 1 changes to the triggered state when it receives a message, in particular an alarm message. The message can be a voltage change, current change, frequency change of a signal. But it can also be a data packet with information that is transmitted via radio or the bus.

Wird beispielsweise ein Einbruch oder eine Sabotage durch einen Melder 34 festgestellt, so meldet dies der Melder 34 der Zentrale 32. Die Zentrale 32 wiederum meldet es dem Signalgeber 1, welcher dann mittels dem akustischen Signalgeber 3 ein akustisches Alarmsignal und/oder dem optischen Signalgeber 4 ein optisches Alarmsignal erzeugt. Optional kann der Melder 34 auch direkt den Einbruch dem Signalgeber 1 melden. Diese erfolgt beispielsweise bei Einbruchmeldeanlagen mit Bussystem oder Funktechnik. Das Melden erfolgt mittels Senden einer Nachricht, insbesondere einer Alarmnachricht.If, for example, a break-in or sabotage is detected by a detector 34, the detector 34 reports this to the control center 32. The control center 32 in turn reports this to the signal generator 1, which then generates an acoustic alarm signal using the acoustic signal generator 3 and/or an optical alarm signal using the optical signal generator 4. Optionally, the detector 34 can also report the break-in directly to the signal generator 1. This is done, for example, in burglar alarm systems with a bus system or radio technology.

Auch können beliebige Sensoren der einzelnen Smart Home Geräte 45, 44, 46 als Melder verwendet werden. Die Melder im Smart Home System senden eine Nachricht über den Signalgeber 1 zu der Einbruchmeldeanlage 30. Der Signalgeber wirkt insbesondere wie ein Gateway.The advantage of this is that the burglar alarm system 30 can be expanded to include detectors 46 from the Smart Home System 40. Any sensors from the individual Smart Home devices 45, 44, 46 can also be used as detectors. The detectors in the Smart Home System send a message to the burglar alarm system 30 via the signal transmitter 1. The signal transmitter acts in particular like a gateway.

Wird zum Beispiel der Fernseher vom Strom genommen, so meldet er diese dem Signalgeber 1. Der Signalgeber 1 wiederum meldet es der Einbruchmeldeanlage. Auch kann das Erfassen von erhöhten Temperaturen durch das Kochfeld oder Küchengerät auf einen Brand deuten. Diese Information wird an den Signalgeber 1 gemeldet, welcher diese an die Einbruchmeldeanlage weiterleitet.If, for example, the television is unplugged, it reports this to the signal generator 1. The signal generator 1 in turn reports this to the burglar alarm system. The detection of increased temperatures by the hob or Kitchen appliance may indicate a fire. This information is reported to the signal transmitter 1, which forwards it to the burglar alarm system.

Auch kann durch ein erfindungsgemäßen Signalgerber 1 eine nicht smarte Einbruchmeldeanlage 30 smart werden. Das "Smart machen" umfasst beispielsweise das Verknüpfen mit anderen Meldern oder Sensoren des Smart Home System 40. Oder es umfasst das Kommunizieren mit dem Eigentümer, Bewohner oder Benutzer über dessen moderne Kommunikationsgeräte. Beispielsweise das Informieren im Fall, dass die Einbruchmeldeanlage einen Einbruch feststellt.A non-smart burglar alarm system 30 can also be made smart by means of a signal generator 1 according to the invention. "Making it smart" includes, for example, linking it to other detectors or sensors of the Smart Home System 40. Or it includes communicating with the owner, resident or user via their modern communication devices. For example, informing them if the burglar alarm system detects a break-in.

Das von der Einbruchmeldeanlage 30 erzeugte Alarmsignal wird von dem Signalgeber 1 an das Smart Home System 40 weitergeleitet. Diese wiederum kann die Information an beispielsweise ein mobiles Eingabegerät, insbesondere einem Smartphone, Tablett oder Mobiltelefon des Benutzers, Bewohners, Eigentümers weiterleiten.The alarm signal generated by the burglar alarm system 30 is forwarded by the signal generator 1 to the smart home system 40. This in turn can forward the information to, for example, a mobile input device, in particular a smartphone, tablet or mobile phone of the user, resident or owner.

Der Signalgeber 1 wirkt insbesondere als Gateway. Er sendet die von der Einbruchmeldeanlage empfangene Nachricht, bzw. die Information aus der Nachricht, an das Smart Home System, welches die Information dann an das mobile Endgerät des Benutzers sendet.The signal generator 1 acts in particular as a gateway. It sends the message received from the burglar alarm system, or the information from the message, to the smart home system, which then sends the information to the user's mobile device.
