DE4340294A1 - Object and people detection and monitoring method - Google Patents

Abstract

In the method of directing and tracking moving objects and people the operating person (2) calls up the computer (3) in the data detection and evaluation unit (8) using the push-buttons of a conventional telephone. After the connection has been made between the conventional telephone and the computer over an existing telephone line or over a mobile phone the operator inputs the visually detected identification number of the moving object or person on the push-buttons of the conventional telephone.

Description

The invention relates to a method for recording and Tracking of moving objects differentiated of the simplest kind and for the purpose of being more targeted Demand planning and operational control in industrial, other commercial and private areas.

The subject of patent P 36 43 236 is currently in the underground operation of German coal mining Personal radio used, including people called identifier module. This person identification building stone is an essential element to people and To be able to record and track material. This state of the art processes required however, in addition to the aforementioned special persons protective radio special comparatively expensive complementary radio elements, e.g. B. special activating Sender and receiver. This based on radio Processes based on technically working devices is complex and expensive.

Another prior art method works on the principle of conventional telephonic Chen transmission by telephone or radiotelephony  devices. However, this procedure is special due to numerous potential sources of error practical. The use of the state of the art belonging mobile data acquisition device MDE TELXON PTC 701 ES has also not proven itself because of this Input device has a high weight and constantly from Operating personnel must be carried along.

The invention has for its object a method to create that is suitable using convention Licher devices moving objects and people too capture and pursue with the goal of need oriented operational control.

The advantage of the method according to the invention is in that available devices and an existing one Telephone system can be used, so the cost for creating the conditions for the procedure are comparatively small. As another essential The advantage is the extremely easy handling or feasibility of the procedure.

The solution to this problem is inclusive advantageous refinements and developments of Invention from the content of the claims, which follow this description.

With regard to the method, the invention provides that the moving object or the person with a simple identification number. This identification number, a number consisting of as few digits as possible by visual inspection at a significant location, e.g. B. Loading station, read and immediately by the operator via a conventional telephone to one  Transfer data acquisition and evaluation control center become. The control center is equipped with a spec ellen modem, e.g. B. a ZyXEL U1496EG Plus that one conventional computers, e.g. B. Personal Computer, pre is switched.

In the exemplary embodiment of the figure, the object ( 1 ) provided with an identification number or the person ( 1 ) is first detected by the operating personnel ( 2 ) by means of visual inspection. A computer ( 3 ) specially programmed for this method is selected by the same operating personnel with the aid of an existing, conventional key telephone ( 4 ). After confirming that the computer is ready to work by the computer itself by means of a significant signal tone, the operating personnel ( 2 ) type in the identification number of the object or person ( 1 ) on the keyboard of the telephone ( 4 ). These entered data arrive electronically via laid telephone cables or by radio technology with radio telephones to a specially suitable modular demulator (modem) ( 5 ) which is connected to the telephone system. The modular demulator ( 5 ), which in turn is connected to the computer, forwards the broken-down data to a correspondingly programmed computer ( 3 ) for evaluation and processing. The required information can now be made visible on a screen ( 6 ) or printer ( 7 ) in the data acquisition and evaluation control center ( 8 ) for the purpose of targeted need planning and control.

Claims (3)

1. A method for the detection and follow-up of moving objects and people with regard to a targeted demand planning and control, characterized in that the operating personnel ( 2 ) on the keyboard of a conventional telephone ( 4 ) in the data acquisition and evaluation control center ( 8 ) located computer ( 3 ). 2. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that after establishing the connection between the conventional telephone ( 4 ) and the computer ( 3 ) by way of a conventional, usually already laid telephone line or a radio telephone by the operating personnel ( 2 ) by means of Visually recorded identification number of the moving object and / or person ( 1 ) entered on the keyboard of a conventional telephone ( 4 ) and passed on to the data acquisition and evaluation control center ( 8 ). 3. The method according to claims 1 and 2, characterized in that the on the keyboard of a conventional telephone ( 4 ) entered or dialed identification number to a modular demulator ( 5 ) and are demodulated by this so that the resulting digital message signals A downstream and specially programmed for the inventive method computer ( 3 ) are available for further evaluation and processing to determine the desired information, which can be made visible on a screen ( 6 ) or a list generated by the printer ( 7 ).
