The invention relates to a method for producing a required for the exercise of a sport in an access-controlled sports equipment equipment, as well as an access control system for sports facilities, especially ski lifts, with at least one piece of equipment associated with the user data carrier and at least one contactless verifying the disk control station.

Such access control systems can be found, for example, in EP-B 61 373, AT-B 391 374 or EP-B 327 541. The data carriers are provided with a bracelet, so that they can be worn like a wristwatch on the wrist .. More versions of the AT-B 391 374 zei gene disk with kartenförmigem base and mounting bracket for attachment to an anorak or the like., In combination with a key fob, etc. The data carrier thus represents an additional commodity for the exercise of the sport, which is required only for the passage of the control station. The contactless data transmission, by radio, infrared light od. like. requires a limitation of the environment of the control station to avoid interference and false triggering.

The invention has now taken on the task of simplifying such access control in that additional utensils are unnecessary, and achieves this by the fact that even in the production of a necessary piece of equipment in the piece of equipment by a KontrollStation contactless verifiable data carrier is used.

Since the disk already turned into the piece of equipment during production is built, it is also protected against external influences and damage. Examples of necessary equipment for alpine skiing, in which data carriers can be provided, which are provided with a turnstile provided with a control station

Schleppliftes od. Like. Communicate, are about ski, ski bindings, ski poles, ski boots, etc ..

For checking the data carriers, it is provided in a preferred embodiment that the control station has an antenna assigned to the floor. The arrangement of the antenna on the, possibly in the ground, facilitated or there is no need to shield the control area from interference, especially with multiple parallel access lanes. For checking by a control station with an antenna associated with the ground, especially those pieces of equipment are suitable in which the data carrier is always arranged close to the ground, as in shoes. The assignment of the antenna but it is also possible to reach the ground when the equipment is only partially grounded, as is the case with a ski pole. Here then preferably the disk is arranged in the top or plate area. Is the control station passable with buckled skis, the arrangement of the disk at any point is possible.

Preferably, however, the rear end region is also selected for skis as the location for the storage of the data carrier, since the bottom of the data carrier can be achieved even when the skis in the hand pass the control station, where they are usually the same as the ski poles get up the floor. This is the case with non-navigable control stations, such as cable cars or chairlifts.

A preferred embodiment of the control station provides that the antenna od at a grid lying on the ground, frame. The like. Is arranged. The antenna can beispielswei se also be arranged on the underside of a sliding surface having a mat. The antenna can also be installed underground.

As a disk, all suitable types ver3

Turn AT 000 601 UI. For example, it may have a read-only memory. On the one hand, these may contain pair numbers and production data and, on the other hand, access authorization data which are read out at each passage. If the data carriers contain a read-write memory, then pairwise use can avoid any collision problems by deactivating one of the two data carriers after pairing during initialization, for example at the point of sale. This also creates the possibility to reactivate the inactive if a defect of the active data medium occurs.

In particular, a disk incorporated in the ski can also control a display. At this a runtime can be read, ie e between start and finish of a provided with photocells and transceiver devices race track od. Like. Is taken.

Especially in the arrangement of the disk in the skis or ski binding parts, the media can also cause an anti-theft device when the owner is detected.

For the introduction of the data carrier in the piece of equipment during manufacture various possibilities are conceivable. Schier can for this purpose have a closable opening, in the ski boot, the data carrier can be embedded in the sole, in a ski binding part (toe holder, heel holder, Schibremse etc.), the disk can be provided on the binding plate, possibly also between this and the ski, and finally, in the case of ski poles, the introduction into the cavity of the pole is conceivable.

The combination of the special design of the control station with an antenna associated with the ground and in the equipment part provided data carrier is of particular advantage, but not mandatory.-The simplification results even if the control station a differently arranged antenna, for example verti4

AT 000 601 Ul kal, since even then communication with the disk in the equipment, such as the ski pole, is possible. On the other hand, the control station can also communicate with conventional data carriers with an antenna lying on or in the ground.

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawing, without being limited thereto.

FIG. 1 shows a two-lane access control system with different control stations, and FIG. 2 shows a ski boot provided with a data carrier.

The access control system has one or more of those shown in FIG. 1 shown control stations and with these contactless communicating disk 10. What The control station comprises a turnstile 3 releasing an access lane after a positive control with a control, control and / or drive unit 4 arranged on a linkage or frame 7. For the contactless communication with data carriers 10, the control station is provided with an antenna 5, the od in the left representation of a grid 6 od. like. is assigned, which rests on the floor 2 or is inserted into the ground. The antenna 5 can also be provided, for example, on a mat having a sliding surface for skis 11, such as bristles. In the right-hand illustration, the antenna 5 is not directly associated with the floor 2, but housed within the linkage 7, which frames the antenna 5, the outside of which is suitably protected and shielded.

Data carriers 10 can be embodied as mere read-only memories, transponders, tags or the like, or else as read-write chips, etc., and are located in a piece of equipment d provided by the user required in the area or room to which the access is being checked. In Fig. 1 left

AT 000 601 U1 is the arrangement of a data carrier 10 in the ski 11, in FIG. 1 on the right, however, shown in the ski pole 12. FIG. 2 shows the arrangement in the sole of a shoe 13th The data carriers 10 can already be incorporated into the object during production, wherein the data can also be used to control and monitor the generation and then for pairing. After supplementing with the access authorizing data, the access authorization is checked by the control station. In addition, an anti-theft device or Tracking facilitates when the user's data is mapped and recorded.

In pairing, each of the two pieces of equipment 11, 12, 13 contains a data carrier 10. Depending on the method of operation, problems may arise if the data carriers of the pair react in the same way s. In this case, a data carrier is deactivated after the pairing, for example, during initialization, so that in the pair of equipment an inactive disk 10 'is present, which can be reactivated in case of a defect of the active data carrier 10.
