Verfahren zum Fernbedienen einer Domotik-Anlage und mobiles Datenendgerät für eine Domotik-AnlageMethod for remote control of a home automation system and mobile data terminal for a home automation system
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Die Erfindung geht von der Gattung aus, wie in den unabhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.The invention starts from the genus as stated in the independent claims.
Eine Domotik-Anlage verbindet technische Funktionen und Anwendungen im Haushalt. Hierzu gehören beispielsweise die Sicherheitstechnik, die Heizungs-, Lüftungs- und Klimasteuerung, die Beleuchtungs- und Jalousiesteuerung sowie das Lastmanagement. Mit der Integration derA home automation system combines technical functions and applications in the household. These include, for example, safety technology, heating, ventilation and air conditioning control, lighting and blind control, and load management. With the integration of the
Hausgeräte und weiterer technischer Geräte im Haus wird die Domotik laufend erweitert . Dazu gehört die Steuerung des Herdes, der Waschmaschine, die Rolladensteuerung, die Steuerung des Garagentores, die Fernabfrage beispielsweise des Gas- oder Wasserzählers u.s.w. Die Domotik ist als gerate- und anwendungsübergreifendes System konzipiert, das alle im Haus oder in der Wohnung vorhandenen Einzelkomponenten und Anwendungen zu einem System integriert. Der Datenaustausch zwischen Sensoren, Aktoren und einer Zentrale erfolgt dabei über den sogenannten europäischen Installationsbus (EIB) der European Installation Bus Association (EIBA) , einer Organisation, in der sich die führenden europäischen Elektroinstallationsfirmen zusammengeschlossen haben. Aus der Internet-Ausgabe der Tageszeitung DIE WELT (mit Copyright-Vermerk vom 6.11.97) ist es unter der Überschrift "Das Internet steuert den digitalen Herd" bekannt geworden, daß Bewohner eines Hauses über einen sogenannten Home-Assistant, bestehend aus PC und Software, durch Tippen auf den Bildschirm dialoggeführt ihr individuelles Hausprogramm erstellen und managen können. Als Ausblick auf das 21. Jahrhundert ist dazu die Vorstellung angeführt, daß das "hängende Waschprogramm" vom Kundendienst online via Telefonnetz problemlos repariert werden kann oder daß der Sonntagsbraten per Rezeptsoftware aus dem Internet im digitalen Herd vollautomatisch zubereitet werden kann.Domestic appliances and other technical devices in the house are constantly being expanded. This includes the control of the cooker, the washing machine, the roller shutter control, the control of the garage door, the remote query, for example of the gas or water meter, etc. The domotics is designed as a cross-device and cross-application system that includes all individual components and applications in the house or apartment integrated into one system. The data exchange between sensors, actuators and a control center takes place via the so-called European Installation Bus (EIB) of the European Installation Bus Association (EIBA), an organization in which the leading European electrical installation companies have come together. From the Internet edition of the daily newspaper DIE WELT (with copyright notice dated November 6th, 1997) it is known under the heading "The Internet controls the digital stove" that residents of a house have a so-called home assistant consisting of a PC and Software that can create and manage your individual house program in a dialog-guided manner by tapping the screen. As an outlook on the 21st century, the idea is given that the "hanging washing program" can be repaired easily by customer service online via the telephone network or that the Sunday roast can be prepared fully automatically in the digital stove using recipe software from the Internet.
Auf dem Markt angekündigt ist der "Gira HomeServer" für das "Gira Instabus System" . Die Bedienung des "HomeServers" in einem Haus kann über ein schnurloses Telefon erfolgen. Es ist aber auch die Bedienung von außerhalb möglich, und zwar von einem Mobiltelefon aus und/oder über ein Modem weltweit von einem PC aus.The "Gira HomeServer" for the "Gira Instabus System" has been announced on the market. The "HomeServer" in a house can be operated via a cordless telephone. However, operation from outside is also possible, specifically from a mobile phone and / or via a modem from a PC worldwide.

Übertragungsrichtung ("downstream") über Satellit und in der anderen Richtung ("upstream") über Mobilfung erfolgt. Auch Satelliten-Ortung mit einem eingebauten GPS-System ist vorgesehen. Laut Elektronik 22/1997, Seite 24 wird in diesem Zusammenhang auch daran gedacht, für die Vielzahl von bekannten und neuen Anwendungen im Automobil nur einen einzigen Prozessor anstelle von Insellösungen auf unterschiedlichen Plattformen zu verwenden.Direction of transmission ("downstream") via satellite and in the other direction ("upstream") via mobile communication. Satellite positioning with a built-in GPS system is also provided. According to electronics 22/1997, page 24, it is also considered in this context to use only a single processor instead of isolated solutions on different platforms for the multitude of known and new applications in the automobile.
Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention
Der Anmeldungsgegenstand mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 hat folgende Vorteile:The subject of the application with the features of claim 1 has the following advantages:
Es entfallen für den Anwender des mobilen Datenendgerätes nach der Erfindung (das sich bevorzugt in einem Kraftfahrzeug befindet) gesonderte FernbedienungenThere are no separate remote controls for the user of the mobile data terminal according to the invention (which is preferably located in a motor vehicle)
(Fernbedienungs-Sender oder -Sendeempfänger) , die lose beispielsweise in einem Automobil liegen.(Remote control transmitter or transceiver) that are loose, for example in an automobile.
Die Übertragungskosten sind sehr gering. Insbesondere wenn eine weit entfernte Domotik-Anlage zu steuern ist, ist die paketorientierte Übertragung von Steuer- und/oder Abfragebefehlen wesentlich kostengünstiger als die Übertragung über einen Modem und das Telefonnetz. Durch die Paketorientierung können auch mehrere KommunikationsVorgänge zeitgleich erfolgen.The transmission costs are very low. In particular, if a distant home automation system is to be controlled, the packet-oriented transmission of control and / or query commands is considerably cheaper than the transmission via a modem and the telephone network. Due to the package orientation, several communication processes can take place at the same time.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben, deren Merkmale auch, soweit sinnvoll, miteinander kombiniert werden können.Advantageous further developments are specified in the dependent claims, the characteristics of which can also be combined with one another, where appropriate.

Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens geeignet ist, Figur 2: ein Ablaufdiagramm. Beschreibung des Ausführungsbeispiels2 is a flowchart. Description of the embodiment
In Figur 1 ist als Domotik-Standort ein Haus angedeutet, in dem sich eine Domotik-Anlage 1 befindet. Diese besteht im wesentlichen aus einer Zentrale (Personalcomputer) 2 mit einem Bus 3 (beispielsweise XlO-Bus oder EIB) , an den Sensoren und Aktoren, beispielsweise ein Garagentormotor 4, angeschlossen sind.In FIG. 1, a house is indicated as a home automation location, in which a home automation system 1 is located. This essentially consists of a control center (personal computer) 2 with a bus 3 (for example an X10 bus or EIB) to which sensors and actuators, for example a garage door motor 4, are connected.
In einem Kraftfahrzeug 10 befindet sich als mobiles Datenendgerät 11 ein Personalcomputer mit einem Browser 12 und einer Initialisierungseinrichtung 13 und einer Navigationseinrichtung 15. Letztere ist mit einer Positionsbestimmmungseinrichtung 14 versehen.A personal computer with a browser 12 and an initialization device 13 and a navigation device 15 is located in a motor vehicle 10 as the mobile data terminal 11. The latter is provided with a position determination device 14.
An das Datenendgerät 11 ist ferner ein Display 16 und ein Mobilfunkmodul 17 angeschlossen, über dessen mobile Schnittstelle 18 eine Verbindung zu einem Mobilfunknetz 100 (beispielsweise GSM-Netz) hergestellt werden kann.A display 16 and a mobile radio module 17 are also connected to the data terminal 11, via whose mobile interface 18 a connection to a mobile radio network 100 (for example a GSM network) can be established.
Der Personalcomputer 11 steuert außerdem noch über ein Steuergerät 19 Funktionen des Kraftfahrzeuges 10 (beispielsweise Motorsteuerung, Fahrdynamik u.s.w.).The personal computer 11 also controls functions of the motor vehicle 10 (for example engine control, driving dynamics, etc.) via a control unit 19.
Um die Kommunikation zwischen dem mobilen Datenendgerät 11 und der Zentrale 2 der Domotik-Anlage 1 zu ermöglichen, ist die Zentrale 2 mit einem Telefonnetz 20 verbunden, an das am Domotik-Standort beispielhaft auch noch ein Telefonapparat 6 angeschlossen ist. Die Verbindung zwischen der Zentrale 2 der Domotik-Anlage 1 und dem Telefonnetz 20 kann beispielsweise mittels eines Modems 7, möglicherweise jedoch auch mittels eines Terminaladapters oder einer anderen geeigneten Einrichtung erfolgen. Das Telefonnetz 20 kann ein Mobilfunknetz (nicht dargestellt) oder ein Festnetz (wie dargestellt) sein. Der Kommunikationsweg zwischen den Schnittstellen 7 und 18 führt über einen Zugangsknoten 21 für das Internet, der im Telefonnetz 20 vorgesehen ist. Zwischen diesemIn order to enable communication between the mobile data terminal 11 and the control center 2 of the home automation system 1, the control center 2 is connected to a telephone network 20, to which a telephone set 6 is also connected by way of example at the home control location. The connection between the control center 2 of the home automation system 1 and the telephone network 20 can be made, for example, by means of a modem 7, but possibly also by means of a terminal adapter or another suitable device. Telephone network 20 may be a cellular network (not shown) or a landline network (as shown). The communication path between the interfaces 7 and 18 leads via an access node 21 for the Internet, which is provided in the telephone network 20. Between this
Zugangsknoten 21 und einem Knoten 22 erfolgt die Übertragung von Daten im Internet, also paketorientiert, während in dem Festnetz 20 eine leitungsvermittelte Übertragung stattfindet. Vom Knoten 22 führt eine Verbindung zu einer Feststation 23 des selbenAccess nodes 21 and a node 22 are used for the transmission of data on the Internet, ie in a packet-oriented manner, while a circuit-switched transmission takes place in the fixed network 20. A connection leads from the node 22 to a base station 23 of the same
Mobilfunknetzes, zu dem die mobile Schnittstelle 18 gehört .Mobile network to which the mobile interface 18 belongs.
Charakteristisch für die Erfindung ist, daß die Übertragung von (beispielsweise alarmierenden) Daten der Domotik-Anlage 1 zum mobilen Datenendgerät 11 zwar möglicherweise über die gleichen Leitungen und drahtlosen Verbindungen wie eine Einwählverbindung erfolgt, dass jedoch ein Teil der Distanz mit einem paketorientierten Übertragungsverfahren überwunden wird, welches demIt is characteristic of the invention that the transmission of (for example alarming) data from the home automation system 1 to the mobile data terminal 11 may take place via the same lines and wireless connections as a dial-up connection, but that part of the distance is covered by a packet-oriented transmission method which the
Internet-Protokoll folgt, statt ein leitungsgebundenes (exklusives) Übertragungsverfahren zu benutzen.Internet protocol follows instead of using a wired (exclusive) transmission method.
Die so erzeugte Verbindung zwischen dem Datenendgerät 11 im Kraftfahrzeug 10 und der Domotikanlage 1 kann nun dazu benutzt werden, vom Kraftfahrzeug aus Hausgeräte zu steuern, insbesondere an- oder abzuschalten. Hierzu muß lediglich über den auf dem mobilen Datenendgerät 11 befindlichen Browser eine Internet-Verbindung mit der Zentrale 2 der Domotikanlage 1 oder mit einem spezifischen Hausgerät hergestellt werden. Die Bedienung kann dann über geeignete homepages oder anders geartete Mensch-Maschine- Schnittstellen erfolgen. Auf diese Weise kann beispielsweise das Garagentor geöffnet oder die Heizung angeschaltet werden. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, Regelvorgänge auszulösen, wie beispielsweise Absenken der Haustemperatur, falls dies beim Verlassen des Hauses vergessen wurde. Schlißlich sind auch Statusabfragen möglich, beipielsweise ob die Rolläden wirklich geschlossen sind.The connection thus created between the data terminal 11 in the motor vehicle 10 and the home automation system 1 can now be used to control, in particular switch on or switch off, domestic appliances from the motor vehicle. For this purpose, an Internet connection to the central office 2 of the home automation system 1 or to a specific domestic appliance only has to be established via the browser on the mobile data terminal 11. It can then be operated via suitable homepages or other types of human-machine interfaces. In this way, for example, the garage door can be opened or the heating can be switched on. However, it is also possible to trigger control processes, such as lowering the house temperature if this was forgotten when leaving the house. Finally, status queries are also possible, for example whether the shutters are really closed.
Das paketorientierte Verfahren weist einige Vorteile auf, die sich im Kraftfahrzeug als besonders erwünscht erweisen: So ergeben sich Kostenvorteile, die besonders groß sind, wenn die Einwählknoten sowohl für die Zentrale 2 der Domotikanlage 1 als auch für das mobile Datenendgerät 11 zu Ortstarifen erreichbar sind. Weiterhin kann, bedingt durch die paketorientierteThe packet-oriented method has a number of advantages which prove to be particularly desirable in the motor vehicle: This results in cost advantages which are particularly great if the dial-in nodes can be reached at local tariffs both for the control center 2 of the home automation system 1 and for the mobile data terminal 11. Furthermore, due to the package-oriented
Übertragungsweise, mehr als eine Internetverbindung über eine einzige EinwählVerbindung aufrechterhalten werden. So ist es einerseits möglich, gleichzeitig den Kontakt zu mehreren Domotikanlagen oder auch zu mehreren Geräten innerhalb einer Domotikanlage vom Kraftfahrzeug aus aufrechtzuerhalten. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, neben der aktiven Internetverbindung zur Domotikanlage eine gleichzeitig aktive Internet-Telefonieverbindung aufrechtzuerhalten .Mode of transmission, more than one Internet connection can be maintained over a single dial-up connection. On the one hand, it is thus possible to maintain contact with several home automation systems or even with several devices within a home automation system from the motor vehicle. However, it is also possible to maintain an active Internet telephony connection in addition to the active Internet connection to the home automation system.
Figur 2 zeigt den Ablauf eines automatisierten Fernsteuervorganges, bei dem die in Figur 1 gezeigte Positionsbestimmungseinrichtung 14 die Initialisierungseinrichtung 13 anstößt, sobald bei derFIG. 2 shows the sequence of an automated remote control process in which the position determination device 14 shown in FIG. 1 triggers the initialization device 13 as soon as the
Heimkehr des Kraftfahrzeuges 10 dessen Entfernung zum Domotik-Standort auf einen Grenzwert von beispielsweise 500 m abgesunken ist. Zunächst (Block 30) meldet die Positonsbestimmungs- einrichtung 14 das Absinken der Entfernung auf den Grenzwert von 500 m.Return of the motor vehicle 10 whose distance to the home automation location has dropped to a limit value of, for example, 500 m. First (block 30), the position determination device 14 reports that the distance has dropped to the limit value of 500 m.
Dadurch wird die Initialisierungseinrichtung 13 angestoßen, und der Personalcomputer des mobilen Datenendgerätes 11 baut mit Hilfe des Browsers 12 eine Verbindung zur Domotik-Anlage 1 auf und stellt deren Homepage auf dem Display 16 dar (Block 31) .This initiates the initialization device 13 and the personal computer of the mobile data terminal 11 uses the browser 12 to establish a connection to the home automation system 1 and displays its homepage on the display 16 (block 31).
Der Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeuges 10 wählt daraufhin auf einem Menü den Befehl "Garagentor öffnen" (Block 32) .The driver of motor vehicle 10 then selects the "open garage door" command on a menu (block 32).
Entsprechende Fernsteuerdaten werden nun nach dem Internetprotokoll über das GSM-Netz zur Feststation 23 und zum Knoten 22 sowie zum Zugangsknoten 21 und schließlich über das Telefonnetz 20 zum Modem 7 und zur Zentrale 2 übertragen (Block 33) .Corresponding remote control data are now transmitted according to the Internet protocol via the GSM network to the base station 23 and to the node 22 and to the access node 21 and finally via the telephone network 20 to the modem 7 and the control center 2 (block 33).
Entsprechend den empfangenen Fernsteuerdaten wird das Garagentor geöffnet (Block 34) .The garage door is opened in accordance with the received remote control data (block 34).
AbwandlungsmöglichkeitenModifications
Während bei dem Beispiel nach Figur 2 der Anstoß für den Aufbau der Verbindung zwischen der Domotik-Anlage 1 und dem mobilen Datenendgerät 11 von letzterem kommt, ist es auch möglich, und zwar insbesondere für Datenverkehr, der beim Datenendgerät 11 Alarm auslöst, daß von der Domotik- Anlage 1 aus eine Datenverbindung über das Internet aufgebaut wird, sofern nicht schon eine Datenverbindung besteht, die aus der umgekehrten Richtung aufgebaut wurde. While in the example according to FIG. 2 the impetus for the establishment of the connection between the home automation system 1 and the mobile data terminal 11 comes from the latter, it is also possible, in particular for data traffic that triggers the alarm at the data terminal 11, that of the Home automation system 1 is established from a data connection via the Internet, unless there is already a data connection that was established from the opposite direction.
