Provisioning system for providing at least one drive parameters of a door system

0001The present invention relates to a provision system for providing at least one drive parameter of a door system. The invention further relates to a method and a computer program product.

0002Various designs for door systems are known from the prior art. The door system can include a hinged door, a sliding door, a (revolving) revolving door, or the like. It is also known that a drive unit can be provided in the door system in order to drive a door component (such as the door leaf) as a movable part of the door system for movement. In this way, the door component can be opened and closed (at least partially) automatically. In principle, such a drive of the door component can be used in all designs in order to at least partially automate and/or support the movement of the door component.

0003The door system is usually influenced directly or indirectly by various drive parameters. For example, drive parameters such as frequency of use (use cycle) can be functionally relevant for the operation of the door. It may also be possible that the drive parameters in a certain constellation lead to a functional impairment of the door system. The door system often needs maintenance after a certain period of time or with a certain frequency of use. It may also be possible for some of the drive parameters to be taken into account through a manual configuration of the door system, for example when a time for opening and/or closing the door system is programmed.

0004However, the operation of the door system often represents a technical challenge; in particular, the maintenance and/or configuration of the door system is technically complex and complex. For example, drive parameters, such as error information, have to be laboriously determined on the door system. Furthermore, configuration specifications may have to be determined manually for programming and then a device must be connected to the door system for programming. There is also a problem that may be the configuration specifications are determined too imprecisely and/or inappropriately, especially if an adequate assessment of the relevant drive parameters is difficult. In such a case, a conventional door system can often only be used at high cost and/or in a technically complex manner.

0005The font<patcit id="pcit0001" dnum="US20160300415A1"><text>US 2016/0300415 A1</text></patcit> discloses an internet-based system for monitoring and remotely controlling a garage door, the system further comprising a position detector for determining the status of the door and a radio transmitter which transmits this status to a control module.

0006The font<patcit id="pcit0002" dnum="DE102014105877A1"><text>DE 10 2014 105 877 A1</text></patcit> discloses a socket receiver for radio remote control of electrical building or fencing drives, which is suitable for being upgraded or converted to a radio connection system, whereby the existing devices can therefore also be upgraded or converted to modern radio standards with a greater range of functions.

0007It is therefore an object of the present invention to at least partially remedy the above problems. In particular, it is an object of the invention to enable improved and/or more cost-effective and/or simpler and/or more reliable operation of a door system.

0008The above task is solved by a provision system with the features of claim 1, by a method with the features of claim 9 and by a computer program product with the features of claim 14.

0009Further features and details of the invention emerge from the respective subclaims, the description and the drawings. Features and details that are described in connection with the provision system according to the invention naturally also apply in connection with the method according to the invention and the computer program product according to the invention and vice versa, so that reference is or can always be made to each other with regard to the disclosure of the individual aspects of the invention .

0010The object is achieved in particular by a provision system for providing at least one drive parameter of at least one door system according to claim 1.

0011The provision system preferably comprises at least one of the following systems and/or units and/or components:<ul id="ul0001" list-style="dash" compact="compact"><li>at least that at least one door system with:<ul id="ul0002" list-style="none" compact="compact"><li>∘ at least one door component of the door system,</li><li>∘ at least one drive unit of the door system,</li><li>∘ at least one control unit of the door system,</li><li>∘ at least one detection unit of the door system,</li><li>∘ at least one transmission unit of the door system, the provision system also includes (possibly outside the door system):</li></ul></li><li>at least one, preferably portable, communication unit, which is preferably part of the door system or is designed separately from the door system,</li><li>at least one storage system remote from the door system.</li></ul>

0012The door system has the following components or units:<ul id="ul0003" list-style="dash" compact="compact"><li>at least one door component, in particular a door or a door leaf, the door component preferably being movably mounted,</li><li>at least one drive unit, the drive unit being operatively connected to the door component in order to bring the door component into at least one movement state in order to carry out at least one door function,</li><li>at least one recognition unit for determining at least one drive parameter, the drive parameter being correlated with the door function,</li><li>at least one control unit for controlling (ie in particular initiating and/or controlling and/or regulating) at least the drive unit and/or at least the door function,</li><li>at least one transmission unit for sending and/or transmitting and/or receiving information, in particular the at least one drive parameter determined by the recognition unit.</li></ul>

0013In a provision system, a communication unit is provided inside or outside the door system, which is designed to wirelessly receive and/or transmit the at least one drive parameter transmitted or received (by the transmission unit) (for example through a communication interface of the communication unit).

0014According to the invention, the communication unit is designed to transmit (for example wirelessly) the at least one drive parameter sent out by the transmission unit and/or received by the communication unit to a storage system remote from the door system, at least partially via radio, so that the transmitted drive parameter can be provided remotely from the door system. This has the advantage that the drive parameter can be provided outside the door system in a technically simple and cost-effective manner. Furthermore, the advantage can be achieved that the transmission unit can be designed to be technically simpler than the communication unit, so that only the communication unit has to be adapted to use new communication technologies.

0015In particular, “wireless” (also: wireless) is understood to mean that at least partially a radio (communication or transmission) technology is used, that is, for example, transmission and/or sending and/or receiving at least partially carried out via radio. In other words, in the case of wireless transmission (of data), at least some of the transmission technologies used can be designed as radio technology, even if, for example. Several transmission technologies are used (e.g. when transmitting from the communication unit via WLAN to the access point and then, for example, by cable to the storage system). In particular, a wireless embodiment relates only to at least part of a transmission path, for example the (air) transmission path, via which radio waves, ie electromagnetic waves and in particular modulated electromagnetic waves, are transmitted. The radio technology or At least one of the technologies used for transmission can be designed, for example, as Bluetooth, in particular Bluetooth Low Energy, or as near-field communication (NFC) or as a wireless local area network (WLAN) or the like. The radio technology may also include several different radio technologies, which can be used in parallel or serially, for example.

0016It may be possible for a communication interface of the communication unit to be provided for (possibly wireless) receiving and/or sending information, such as the at least one drive parameter, from or to the transmission unit. The communication interface is, for example, as a radio communication interface, in particular as a Bluetooth communication interface and/or WLAN communication interface and/or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication interface and/or as a mobile radio communication interface.

0017Preferably, the communication interface of the communication unit is designed to at least partially provide and/or implement at least one of the following communication technologies:<ul id="ul0004" list-style="dash" compact="compact"><li>Bluetooth, especially BLE,</li><li>WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network),</li><li>Mobile communications, in particular UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) or LTE (Long Term Evolution) or the like,</li><li>Ethernet,</li><li>NFC (Near Field Communication).</li></ul>

0018The communication interface can be suitable for (possibly wireless) communication via the corresponding communication technology, in particular for the (data) connection, with the transmission unit, in particular an interface element of the transmission unit. Accordingly, the transmission unit, in particular the interface element, can also be designed to at least partially provide and/or implement the communication technology of the communication interface. This enables simple and secure transmission of information. The implementation of the communication technology or the at least partial provision also includes the case that, if necessary. Further components outside the interface element or the communication interface (such as an energy source, an antenna or the like) are necessary for complete provision.

0019Preferably, the door component can be brought into at least one movement state, for example to carry out a movement from a first state to a second state (or vice versa). The first state can, for example, be an open state and the second state can, for example, be a closed state of the door component. Thus, a first movement process is, for example, an opening of the door component and a second movement process, for example, is a closing of the door component. E.g. The closed state serves to close a passage (particularly for people), and/or the open state serves to open a passage (particularly for people to pass through). The door component can therefore preferably be designed as a movable door leaf of a passenger door. The door system is designed in particular as an automatic door system and/or passenger door system. This enables the provision of a variety of door functions, which can be carried out at least partially automatically depending on a configuration.

0020The door component is in (for example mechanical) operative connection with the drive unit, so that the drive unit can bring about the transfer to the movement state (ie the movement or the movement process) of the door component. For this purpose, the drive unit includes, for example, at least one (electric) motor or the like. It is also conceivable that at least one further motor of the drive unit is provided, or possibly at least one further drive unit, for example. to control a lock and/or a lock of the door component. The control unit can also optionally control at least one further component of the door system to carry out a door function, for example an electromagnet or a camera or lighting or the like. This enables extensive automation in the door system.

0021The door system, in particular the door component, can, for example, have at least one of the following door designs or be designed according to these door designs:<ul id="ul0005" list-style="dash" compact="compact"><li>Stop door (swing door), the door component preferably being designed to be pivotable,</li><li>Sliding door, the door component preferably being designed to be displaceable,</li><li>Swivel sliding door, the door component preferably being designed to be both displaceable and pivotable,</li><li>folding door,</li><li>(Revolving) revolving door, wherein the door component is designed to be rotatable and/or is firmly connected to a rotatably mounted connecting element.</li></ul>

0022Preferably, the door component (or at least one of the door components of the door system(s)) can also be used as a passenger door and/or fire protection door and/or external door and/or internal door and/or front door and/or smoke protection door and/or burglary-resistant door and/or security door and/or room door (e.g. of a building or a house).

0023Furthermore, a door component in the broader sense can also be understood as a gate, although the door component is not designed as a gate in the narrower sense. The same applies to the door system, which in the broader sense can have a gate, but in the narrower sense it does not, in other words it is designed without a gate.

0024In particular, several door components of the same or different designs can be provided in the door system and/or in an object in order to provide extensive automation options. For example, the door components can be controlled, in particular moved and/or locked, depending on one another based on the configuration and/or based on the drive parameters and/or based on the control unit. Complex door functions, such as a lock function, can thus advantageously be provided.

0025It is further conceivable that the detection unit has at least one electronic component and/or at least one of the following components, which can each be designed as an electronic component:<ul id="ul0006" list-style="dash" compact="compact"><li>at least one memory component, for example a non-volatile data memory,</li><li>at least one sensor component, for example an electronic sensor,</li><li>at least one receiving component, for example an antenna or a radio receiver,</li><li>at least one counter component for counting a usage cycle of the door component,</li><li>at least one processing component, for example an integrated circuit or a microprocessor or microcontroller or the like,</li><li>at least one location component, for example a GPS sensor (Global Positioning System Sensor).</li></ul>

0026It is therefore possible for the detection unit to be designed to carry out a detection of the at least one drive parameter, that is, in particular to determine, preferably detect and/or collect and/or measure the at least one drive parameter.

0027For example, the sensor component can be used to carry out a measurement and/or detection on the drive unit and/or the door component. For this purpose, the sensor component is preferably arranged in the area of ​​the drive unit and/or door component and/or aligned with it. E.g. A speed of a drive and/or output shaft of the drive unit can be measured by the sensor component, and/or a time period of movement of the door component from a first state to a second state (ie a movement process) can be measured. It may also be possible for a usage cycle of the door system to be determined based on the detection of the sensor component. The usage cycle is, for example: depending on each individual movement process from the first to the second state (e.g. the opening and closing of the door component) or on a combination of the movement processes (e.g. the opening and subsequent closing is counted). This has the advantage that the load and, if necessary, the maintenance status of the door system can be determined.

0028Furthermore, it may be possible for the detection unit, in particular by at least one sensor component of the detection unit, to carry out a current and/or voltage measurement on the door system, in particular on the drive unit, so that the drive parameter is determined based on the current and/or voltage measurement . E.g. In this case, a comparison of a measured value of the measurement with at least one limit value is carried out, so that the drive parameter preferably includes information about the measured value exceeding the limit value. For example, the measurement indicates a critical operating state or stress state of the door system, so that this can be recognized at an early stage, in particular based on the drive parameter. For this purpose, the drive parameter can be specific for a result of this measurement.

0029Optionally, the sensor component and/or the processing component and/or the receiving component of the detection unit are each designed as electronic components, which are arranged, for example, on a circuit board and/or are electrically at least partially connected to one another via conductor tracks. The processing component is, for example, as an integrated circuit, for example. designed as a microcontroller, in particular to carry out processing and/or determination of the drive parameter quickly and efficiently.

0030It may be possible for the at least one sensor component to be designed according to at least one of the following sensor types:<ul id="ul0007" list-style="dash" compact="compact"><li>Resistive sensor, for example with a temperature-dependent (electrical) resistance for temperature measurement,</li><li>Optical sensor, for example with at least one photodiode and/or at least one camera sensor (e.g. CCD sensor),</li><li>Acoustic sensor, for example as a microphone,</li><li>Magnetic sensor, for example as a Hall sensor,</li><li>Inductive sensor,</li><li>capacitive sensor,</li><li>Thermoelectric sensor.</li></ul>

0031This advantageously enables drive parameters to be determined based on the detection results of the sensor component(s), which may be evaluated, in particular compared with one another, in order to draw conclusions about complex relationships based on the drive parameters. This evaluation can be carried out, for example, by the storage system or using the storage system by a data processing system.

0032Furthermore, it may be possible for the recognition unit to have at least one receiving component, which comprises, for example, at least one of the following elements:<ul id="ul0008" list-style="dash" compact="compact"><li>at least one antenna component,</li><li>at least one (de)modulation component, in particular for communicating or demodulating signals or messages received (with the antenna component),</li><li>at least one amplifier element for amplifying received signals.</li></ul>

0033The receiving component can e.g. B. include an Internet interface and / or a radio interface, in particular Bluetooth and / or mobile radio interface, and / or a (straight-ahead) receiver for receiving a time signal signal (e.g. DCF77). Furthermore, it is conceivable that a signal received by the receiving component and/or processed by the recognition unit is at least one Internet signal (e.g. Data packets) and / or at least one time signal and / or at least one radio signal (Bluetooth and / or mobile communications signal). The drive parameters can preferably be determined based on the processed signal. It is also possible for the recognition unit, in particular the receiving component, to receive and/or process different signals and/or messages, in particular of different types (e.g. time signals and Internet signals). These different signals/messages can then be used, for example, to determine a single or different drive parameters. Optionally, a link and/or a comparison of the signals/messages can also be carried out in order to determine drive parameters that are highly relevant to the operation of the door system.

0034It may advantageously be possible for the detection unit to determine the drive parameter based on a locating signal from a locating component and/or a network or Internet signal (ie, for example via Internet communication), for example as weather information (e.g. temperature and/or wind) and /or (geographical) location information and/or time information and/or the like. This information, in particular the weather information, can also optionally be compared with further information (e.g. geographical location information from the location component). For example, the door system can be located by determining the location information, that is, the location of the detection unit can be determined. This information can, for example, can be used to determine at least one drive parameter depending on the location and/or the weather and/or the time and so advantageously to operate and/or program the drive unit depending on this drive parameter. This makes it possible, for example, to keep the door component closed or locked (permanently) at certain times of the day or days of the week. Eg However, the door component can be kept open (permanently) on other days of the week or at other times of the day.

0035Furthermore, it is conceivable that the recognition unit determines the drive parameter from a memory component, for example as a serial number or identifier (identifier), which is specific to the door system and/or is uniquely assigned to it. This enables the door system to be clearly identified based on the corresponding drive parameter. For this purpose, for example (after a successful transmission) the drive parameter is also compared with further (predetermined) data in a storage system remote from the door system. It is also conceivable that the identifier or the data in the storage component are at least partially cryptographically secured in order to prevent manipulation of the data.

0036It is also conceivable that the detection unit carries out communication with the communication unit to determine the Internet signal and/or further information to determine the drive parameter. This communication is, for example, communication via the transmission unit, for example as radio, in particular Bluetooth communication, or via an additional communication unit (for example also on the door system side). This makes it possible for information from the communication unit, for example Internet information or the like, to be used by the recognition unit to determine the drive parameter.

0037Furthermore, it can be provided that the transmission unit (of the door system) is designed for (possibly wireless) communication with the communication unit and/or with at least one further communication unit and/or communication device and/or with further transmission units (of other door systems). In particular, this communication is designed as uni- or bi-directional communication. This is how it can be, for example It may be possible that the transmission unit is (only or at least partially) intended to transmit the drive parameter determined (at least one and possibly by the recognition unit) to the communication unit. Alternatively or additionally, it may also be possible for the transmission unit to receive at least one piece of information, preferably drive information, from the communication unit. E.g. In this way, drive information, in particular drive parameters or other information relevant to the drive of the door component, can be transmitted from the communication unit to the transmission unit, and preferably the drive unit can then be operated based on the transmitted drive information. For example, this drive information is also used to program the drive unit or the like. This means that the operation of the door system can be significantly simplified.

0038It may be possible for the transmission unit to be designed as a radio interface device, preferably as a mobile radio or Bluetooth interface device, particularly preferably as a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface device. In other words, it may be possible for the transmission unit to have a (first) interface element which is designed to carry out radio communication, in particular mobile radio or Bluetooth, preferably BLE, preferably for sending and/or receiving the at least one drive parameter. Furthermore, it may be possible for the transmission unit to be designed for communication with a further transmission unit of at least one further door system, in particular in the same object or in another object, so that networking of the door systems is possible. For this networking, the transmission unit can, for example, also use the (first) interface element or a further (second) interface element, e.g. B. for another communication technology, if necessary. use network communication (e.g. mobile communications). This allows flexible communication options to be created.

0039It may be possible for the transmission unit to have the detection unit and/or a further detection unit in order to determine the (or at least one further) drive parameter. Alternatively or additionally, connection information about a transmission (sending/receiving) of the transmission unit can also be used as drive parameters. For example, this drive parameter can be transferred to the storage system.

0040For example, a first door system can have a first transmission unit and, if necessary, communicate directly with the communication unit (possibly wirelessly) (for example to transmit the drive parameter of the first door system). A second door system can, for example, have a second transmission unit in order to communicate with the first transmission unit of the first door system via the second transmission unit, in particular for transmitting drive parameters of the second door system. It may also be possible for further door systems with further transmission units to be provided in order to communicate with the first transmission unit of the first door system, in particular in order to transmit respective drive parameters to the communication unit. This means that an extensive and flexibly installable infrastructure can be created for networking different door systems (with the respective door components). The transmission units can, for example, be designed identically and/or each have a second interface element for communication with one another and/or it may be possible for only the first transmission unit to have the (first) interface element for communication with the communication unit.

0041As a further possibility for networking the door systems, it is conceivable that at least two or three or four or more door systems are provided, each of which has a transmission unit. It may be possible for one or more of the door systems to communicate (directly) with the communication unit (possibly wirelessly) or to be able to communicate (ie send, receive and/or transmit information to the communication unit, for example drive parameters). Furthermore, it may be possible for a (possibly wireless) transmission of information, such as drive parameters, to be carried out between different transmission units at least two or more of the door systems, ie the door systems are networked via the transmission units. In this way, the communication of at least one of the transmission units of at least one of the door systems with the communication unit can also be used by other door systems, in particular to transmit specific drive parameters. It may also be possible that the other door systems can also be controlled by the communication unit via the communication of at least one of the door systems with the communication unit (e.g. controllable and/or configurable), and thus in particular bidirectional communication takes place. For example, it may be possible that if the communication unit is located near one of the transmission units of the door systems, communication of the communication unit via this transmission unit with all of the networked door systems is possible.

0042Furthermore, it is also conceivable that the door system (or, in the case of several door systems, at least one of the door systems) has the communication unit in addition to or instead of the transmission unit. For example, transmission units of the other door systems can then connect to the communication unit in order, for example, to transmit drive parameters to the storage system (possibly wirelessly). The communication unit can preferably be integrated in the door system, in particular originally, or can be retrofitted later. This has the advantage that only one of the door systems may need to be equipped with the interface element of the transmission unit, and yet all door systems can transmit drive parameters to the storage system, so that the costs and complexity of the overall system can be reduced.

0043Preferably, the communication unit can be integrated in the door system (or in at least one of the door systems) or can be designed separately from the door system, for example portable. Preferably the (possibly communication unit integrated in the door system or designed to be portable) from the transmission unit (or the transmission units) of the door system in that the communication unit has at least one (relative to the communication technology) different transmission interface, in particular radio transmission interface, compared to the transmission unit.

0044For example, the communication unit includes a radio transmission interface, which z. B. can be designed as a cellular interface or WLAN interface to establish a data connection to a network. In particular, the transmission unit may not be suitable for implementing this communication technology of the communication unit, such as mobile radio communication and/or WLAN communication. This allows the manufacturing effort of the door system and/or the transmission unit to be reduced, since one or more door systems can use the data connection of the communication unit.

0045It is also essential to the invention that the transmission unit (and/or communication unit and/or communication device) is designed to be retrofittable, as a retrofitting device, preferably as an adapter stick, in particular a Bluetooth stick or the like.

0046This retrofit device is subsequently connected to the door system (electrically and/or electronically and/or mechanically, in particular via a connection or a connection interface element) (for example as a Bluetooth stick), i.e. only after the door system has been completely assembled for the first time. The transmission unit provides, in particular through an interface element, a first communication technology for the door system, for example. a radio communication, preferably Bluetooth or BLE, in order to communicate with the communication unit and/or send out the drive parameter. This makes it possible to retroactively and cost-effectively equip existing door systems with the corresponding communication capability of the first communication technology, and thus to make the door system capable of communicating in a simple manner. Furthermore, communication with the communication unit or By transmitting the drive parameter through the communication unit, a second communication technology of the communication unit can also be used, for example WLAN or mobile communications, which differs in particular from the first communication technology. In particular, the door system does not provide either the first or the second communication technology originally and/or outside the transmission unit. This means that by using the transmission unit, the door system can be expanded in a simple and cost-effective manner by at least the first (direct) and, if necessary, indirectly the second communication technology. In other words, the transmission unit can also be used as an adapter for the door system for communication with the communication unit.

0047It may preferably be possible for a communication range of the transmission unit, in particular a radio interface of the transmission unit, to be a maximum of 50 m or a maximum of 20 m or a maximum of 10 m or a maximum of 5 m. This makes it possible to ensure energy-saving communication (e.g. via BLE) and/or increased security.

0048It is also conceivable that a retrofit device, preferably the transmission unit, particularly preferably as an adapter and/or Bluetooth stick, is or will be connected to the door system (subsequently and/or detachably) to expand the function. In this way, door systems that have already been installed or are older can be equipped with a transmission unit. For example, the retrofit means can be used to provide a communication method or transmission method, e.g. b. for transmitting (drive) information, such as at least one drive parameter, via Bluetooth.

0049It is also conceivable that this transmitted (drive) information serves to carry out a control (ie, for example, control and/or regulation and/or configuration, such as programming) of the door system, in particular the drive unit. Optionally, a (possibly electro-)mechanical switching device, in particular a key switch or the like, can also be provided for such a control (originally, ie since the first assembly).

0050It is conceivable that the door system has a (mechanical) switching device for (manual) control and/or operation of the door system, in particular for operation by a user, preferably by using a mechanical key. It may be possible that when connecting a retrofit device, in particular the transmission unit, to the door system, the switching device of the door system is taken out of operation (deactivated) in order to prevent (manual) control over the switching device. This has the advantage that control can then only take place via the retrofit device or the information transmitted thereby. However, a manual control can optionally be provided, for example. by transmitting information from a communication unit to the transmission unit, whereby the information may be determined and/or influenced by an operator of the communication unit (e.g. via a smartphone app). The transmitted information, in particular drive information, is then used, for example, to control the drive unit and/or to configure (e.g. programming) the door system.

0051For example, it can be provided that an at least partially automatic and/or manual operation, in particular a configuration and/or control, of the door system, in particular the drive unit and/or a door function and/or the door component, is carried out on the basis of drive information. The drive information includes, for example: information determined by an operator and/or at least one drive parameter and/or information determined based on at least one drive parameter (e.g. configurations that were generated based on the drive parameters of the storage system). For example, the drive information is transmitted from the communication unit to the transmission unit and/or determined by the transmission unit and/or determined by the control unit.

0052For example, it may be possible for an operator to use the communication unit via a computer program, in particular an app, e.g. B. Smartphone app or computer app or the like. The computer program is executed, for example, on the communication unit in order to influence the operation of the door system and/or evaluate drive parameters. This enables particularly convenient operation and/or configuration of the door system. Depending on at least one operator input and/or on at least one of the drive parameters, drive information can then, for example, be determined and/or transmitted to the door system, in particular the transmission unit (possibly wirelessly). If necessary, the drive information is then further transmitted from the transmission unit to the control unit of the door system. The drive information is then, for example, evaluated by the transmission unit and/or by the control unit and, if necessary, the drive unit is controlled depending on this evaluation. For example, when transmitting and/or evaluating first drive information, the door component can be opened and when transmitting and/or evaluating second drive information, which differs from the first drive information, the door component can be closed. Also, for example, A configuration or programming of the door system can be determined based on the drive information. This enables easy operation of the door system.

0053A configuration, in particular programming, for the door system includes, for example, information and/or parameters for an operating behavior of the door system, for example whether and/or when and/or in which mode certain door functions are carried out, preferably whether and at least at what times a specific movement process of the door component should be carried out (e.g. an opening at a first time of day or week or a closing at a second time of day or week). Advantageously, the configuration can also include information about at what times and/or for how long the door component should be (completely) closed or opened. Furthermore, it is also conceivable, possibly as a further door function, that a movement behavior, for example closing or opening, can be parameterized via the configuration (e.g. the opening or closing speed or the opening or closing acceleration or the like). Further programming is also conceivable in order to be able to activate certain door functions (e.g. time- or event-controlled) and/or to set an authentication specification for a door function. For example, at least one specific door function can then only be carried out depending on successful authentication.

0054A mode can also be determined through the configuration if necessary. The mode can be, for example, a time-controlled or an event-controlled or a manual or a remote-controlled mode. In the remote-controlled mode, it is conceivable that by transmitting information to the transmission unit, for example Drive information is transmitted via the Internet and/or the communication unit, and in particular the control of the door system is carried out based on the transmitted drive information. In the manual mode, for example, drive information specified by a user on the communication unit and transmitted by the communication unit can be used for control. A combination of different modes can also be configured if necessary. This enables flexible and adaptable operation of the door system.

0055The door functions include, for example, certain movement processes that are carried out in a certain way and/or depending on specifications (such as authentication depending on an authentication specification, such as a password or the like). Furthermore, it may be possible for configurations and/or door functions to be provided which ensure that a state of the door component is maintained (e.g. maintaining the open or closed state). In particular, it can make sense to carry out the door functions depending on the drive parameters (e.g. keeping the door component completely closed at certain times). This has the advantage that the door system can be designed to be flexible and fully configurable.

0056It may be possible that certain configurations and/or door functions cause complete locking and/or one-sided locking (so that, for example, the door component can only be opened from one side). For this purpose, e.g. B. a coupling of a door handle (door handle) of the door component with a lock of the door component can be controlled (e.g. controlled) depending on the configuration and / or door function, for example. such that only the operation of a door handle on one of the sides of the door component (ie a one-sided operation) leads to the operation of the lock, in particular a lock latch. This makes it possible, for example, to provide a useful function for many applications of the door system, for example for exit doors that should only allow one-sided opening from the inside, but no entry from the outside.

0057In order to recognize or determine the at least one drive parameter, it can be provided that the recognition unit receives and/or evaluates signals, for example electrical signals from at least one sensor component and/or received signals from a communication connection, for example Internet data , for example by a receiving component of the recognition unit. It may be possible that these drive parameters are at least partially originally collected by the door system and/or are provided by an originally existing interface. Drive parameters, which are originally collected by the door system through the recognition unit, can, for example, be a usage cycle (for example as a cycle number, e.g. a count of movement processes, such as opening and/or closing processes) and/or an operating time and/or an identifier (such as a serial number) and/or a configuration (such as programming of the door system) and/or an operating log (usage log) and/ or at least include error information and/or the like. In addition, it may be possible for further drive parameters to be determined, possibly also by other devices or from sources other than the recognition unit (such as image information through a camera sensor of the communication unit, which can then possibly be transmitted wirelessly to the transmission unit). This means that extensive information can be used to determine the drive parameters.

0058Furthermore, it is conceivable that at least one interface element of the transmission unit is provided for sending and/or transmitting the drive parameters determined (by the recognition unit) to the communication unit (and/or from the communication unit to the recognition unit and/or to the control unit of the door system). . The interface element serves, for example, to send information (in particular drive parameters) to the communication unit and/or receive it from the communication unit. The interface element can thus be designed as a uni- or bi-directional communication interface element, so that information transmission in only one or two directions may be possible. Furthermore, a further interface means or a further interface element can optionally be provided in order to transmit and/or receive information, such as the drive parameter, to further components of the door system or to further door systems (possibly wirelessly). The further components include, for example, the recognition unit and/or the control unit. It may also be possible for the transmission unit to include a storage element in order to store the information (such as the drive parameters) persistently or temporarily. In particular, retrofitting the transmission unit is made possible by adapting the transmission unit to an interface that is already originally present in the door system, for example. a maintenance interface or the like, and/or is connected (electrically) to this, in particular via a connection interface element.

0059Optionally, the transmission unit can have a storage element for storing at least one drive parameter. The storage element can be designed as a non-volatile data storage, for example as a flash memory. It may also be possible for the transmission unit to have a processing element in order to carry out processing and/or evaluation and/or analysis of the at least one drive parameter. Accordingly, the transmission unit can be designed as an “intelligent” transmission unit and can therefore easily integrate a variety of functions into the door system. This means that the range of functions of the door system can be significantly expanded in a cost-effective and technically simple manner. Alternatively, it may also be possible for the transmission unit to be designed without a storage element (or the storage element if necessary. is only intended for temporary storage), so that the transmission unit only transmits data. In this case it is e.g. B. possible that a large part of the processing (e.g. for evaluating or further transmitting the drive parameter to the storage system) is carried out by the communication unit. This means that the effort required to produce the transmission unit can be further reduced.

0060Preferably, the door system and/or the transmission unit can be designed to be retrofittable in such a way that the door system without the transmission unit has no network and/or Bluetooth communication capability and/or only an outdated (ie lower version) communication capability compared to the transmission unit and/or only one includes wired communication capability. Accordingly, it may be possible for the transmission unit to expand the communication capability of the door system when integrated into the door system. For this purpose, the transmission unit can be connected, for example, to an interface of the door system that is specifically intended for the transmission unit and is therefore specific for the transmission unit. Such an interface can be provided, for example, in the control unit. It may also be possible for the transmission unit to be connected to an existing (non-specific for the transmission unit) interface of the door system, for example a bus and/or network and/or serial interface of a communication capability already present in the door system. The advantage can thus be achieved that the transmission unit replaces an existing (possibly technically less flexible, e.g. wired) interface of the door system is used, and this is expanded by a further interface (ie an interface element, which may be a technically more flexible interface, such as a radio interface) in a technically simpler manner.

0061Preferably, the transmission unit can have a processing element and/or a storage element in order, if necessary, to carry out complex processing of the data transmitted (in particular via the interface), for example a conversion into drive parameters or into a specific (digital) format of the drive parameters. Alternatively, it may also be possible that the transmission unit is designed to be memory and/or processing element-free and/or does not carry out any processing of the transmitted data and/or does not carry out any conversion of the transmitted data, which is not only necessary at a transmission protocol level (ie it There is no change to the information or user data to be transmitted). In other words, the transmission unit can also only carry out a transfer of user data (e.g. of the drive parameter) that cannot be changed, for example from the (original) interface of the door system to the interface element of the transmission unit, so that the drive parameter can be sent from it.

0062It may also be possible for the transmission unit to have a sensor system, for example the detection unit, in order, for example, to carry out a determination of the drive parameters. Thus (at least some) of the drive parameters to be transmitted can be determined by the transmission unit itself. This may also increase the expandability of the door system if additional sensors can also be provided by the transmission unit.

0063Furthermore, it may also be possible for the communication unit to have at least one data memory and/or at least one processing means, for example an integrated circuit and/or processor, in order to preferably store and/or process and/or evaluate the at least one drive parameter. For example, an analysis of the stored drive parameters can be carried out, e.g. B. via an app on the communication unit. The data storage serves, for example, for persistent storage of the at least one drive parameter. Alternatively, the data memory can only serve to temporarily store the drive parameter or not store it, so that the communication unit only serves to transmit the drive parameter to the storage system. This enables, in particular, an improvement in the transmission of the drive parameters.

0064A particular advantage can arise from the fact that the at least one (certain) drive parameter does not have to be transmitted directly from the door system or the recognition unit of the door system to the storage system remote from the door system, but rather via the transmission unit and / or via the communication unit (possibly wirelessly). can be. In particular, the door system can be designed to be particularly simple and cost-effective, since no complex electronics or An interface for transmitting the drive parameters directly to the storage system must be provided in the detection unit or in the door system. Such electronics/interface must, for example, carry out complex network and/or Internet communication for data transmission if the storage system can only be reached through the door system via a network (local area network, ie LAN, or wireless LAN or mobile network or Internet). . This dramatically increases the effort involved in manufacturing and assembling the door system, as well as the complexity and energy consumption. On the other hand, the transmission (ie in particular the sending) of the at least one drive parameter via or through the transmission unit to the communication unit can be carried out in a technically simpler and more energy-efficient manner. For example, the transmission unit can use BLE to carry out the transmission to the communication unit. The further transmission of the at least one drive parameter then takes place through the communication unit. Since the communication unit can be, for example, a device that is already used by an operator and/or is already connected to the network, in particular the Internet and/or mobile phone network, this can result in significant energy savings or savings in technical effort. E.g. The communication unit is designed as a smartphone of the operator, and/or comprises a computer program which is adapted for the transmission and/or to the door system and/or to the transmission unit.

0065A further advantage can arise from the fact that the at least one (certain) drive parameter does not have to be transmitted directly from the door system or the recognition unit of the door system to the communication unit, but rather is transmitted to the communication unit via the transmission unit. This makes it possible, for example, to easily retrofit or adapt the door system with the transmission unit.

0066It may also be possible for several door systems and/or transmission units to be designed to transmit the at least one drive parameter and/or further information to (at least or exactly) one (single) communication unit. In particular, it may be possible for the communication unit to have connection information for several door systems and/or transmission units. This has the advantage that these multiple door systems and/or transmission units can jointly use the one communication unit to transmit information (such as the at least one drive parameter) to the storage system. This can also result in further cost and/or energy savings. It may also be possible for (only) one of the door systems to have the communication unit (for example permanently integrated) and/or to be connected to one. It may also be possible for the communication unit to be designed as a portable communication unit and may have to be brought close to the respective door systems and/or transmission units for transmission.

0067In particular, it can be provided that the at least one drive parameter is transmitted to the storage system cyclically and/or at irregular intervals, for example a maximum of once a day (or a maximum of every second or third day), in particular via the transmission unit and/or communication unit. This has the advantage that the communication unit does not have to be permanently in data connection with the storage system, so that further energy savings are possible. For example, it can be provided that a transmission of the drive parameter (ie possibly a transmission of the drive parameter or all specific and possibly buffered drive parameters by the transmission unit) only takes place at certain times or at certain events and / or takes place at certain time intervals and /or only takes place when the communication unit is within communication range of the transmission unit. E.g. It may therefore also be possible for the transmission unit to have a storage element in order to temporarily store the drive parameters determined (by the recognition unit) until they are sent out. This allows energy efficiency to be further improved.

0068It is conceivable that the communication unit and/or at least one further communication unit as a mobile radio communication unit, in particular as a mobile phone, and/or as a smartphone and/or as a smartwatch and/or as a wearable (wearable computer) and/or as a computer and/or as a laptop and/or is designed as part of another door system. The communication unit preferably comprises at least one sensor, for example a location sensor (e.g. GPS sensor) and/or an acceleration sensor and/or a camera sensor and/or an acoustic sensor.

0069It can be provided that the communication unit (or at least one of the communication units), in particular the at least one sensor of the communication unit, is used to determine the at least one drive parameter. E.g. It may be possible for the detection unit of the door system to be provided for determining first drive parameters and the communication unit for determining second drive parameters, with the first and second drive parameters differing from one another. For example, the at least one drive parameter determined by the communication unit(s) can be transmitted to the door system and/or to the storage system via wireless data transmission, and if necessary. be temporarily stored in the door system and/or in the communication unit before the (respective) transmission. Preferably, the at least one drive parameter can be determined by the communication unit in that a detection by at least one sensor and/or a retrieval of information, for example via an Internet connection (e.g. weather data) and/or via a user interface (e.g . B. from a user input).

0070Furthermore, it may be possible for the communication unit to have at least one transmission interface, preferably a radio transmission interface, in particular a mobile communications interface and/or WLAN and/or Bluetooth interface. Preferably, the transmission interface can be designed to carry out the transmission of the at least one received drive parameter (at least partially via radio and/or wirelessly). In particular, the (possibly wireless) transmission of the (at least one received) drive parameter takes place at least partially via radio to a storage system remote from the door system, in particular to a database remote from the door system, so that the transmitted drive parameter can preferably be made available remotely from the door system (through the storage system).

0071It can be provided that the communication unit is operated by a computer program, the computer program being stored persistently, for example, in a data memory of the communication unit. In particular, the computer program can be designed as a smartphone app. The computer program is used, for example, to evaluate the received drive parameter and/or to initiate the transmission to the storage system and/or to the transmission unit of the door system.

0072Preferably, the communication unit, in particular the computer program, can have one or more connection information to one or more transmission units or door systems. For example, several connection pieces of information can be provided, each of which enables the connection to different door systems and/or is assigned to different door components or door systems. Preferably, the respective connection information can have been determined during an initial connection process, in particular a Bluetooth pairing, between the communication unit and a respective transmission unit (possibly a respective or single door system). The computer program can thus manage the connection to several transmission units and/or door systems in order to be able to use these respective transmission units or Door systems to receive drive parameters and/or to transmit them to the storage system. In particular, a secure connection can thus be guaranteed.

0073Preferably, the transmission unit can have connection information (on the door system side) and/or a security feature, with particularly preferably the connection information and/or the security feature being stored (persistently) in a storage element of the transmission unit. E.g. The connection information and/or the security feature of the transmission unit comprises at least one identifier and/or at least one key and/or at least one password and/or the like.

0074It may be possible for the connection information to be at least partially determined, in particular generated, during a (possibly first) connection to the communication unit (initial connection process), for example based on the security feature as a fixed security feature. Preferably, a first (door system side) connection information of the transmission unit is provided, and a second (communication unit side) connection information of the communication unit is provided. For example, in a connection process, in particular the first connection process or further connection processes, the first connection information can be compared with the second connection information in order to carry out authentication. Depending on this comparison, a connection between the transmission unit and the communication unit for transmitting the drive parameter can preferably be authorized and/or established.

0075In particular, the connection information (on the door system side) and/or the security feature (such as a password) can be at least partially permanently and/or unchangeably stored in the transmission unit, preferably secured cryptographically.

0076It may also be possible for the connection information (on the door system side) and/or the security feature to be designed to be changeable and, for example, to be changeable by the communication unit, preferably via the computer program of the communication unit. For this purpose, one (possibly additional and/or stricter authentication may be necessary in order to remove cryptographic protection of the connection information and/or the security feature and thus enable the change. Preferably, the connection information (on the door system side) and/or the security feature can also be stored in another component of the door system (for example in a door closer) and read out by the transmission unit.

0077Furthermore, it is also conceivable that the drive parameter is sent out by the transmission unit and/or the drive parameter is received by the communication unit in a connectionless and/or encrypted manner.

0078Furthermore, it may be possible for at least one or every connection between the communication unit and the transmission unit (ie in the connection process) at least one connection protocol information, in particular user information and / or a time stamp and / or a connection duration and / or information transmitted through the connection, in particular control information and / or configuration, and / or the like, evaluated and / or stored and / or is logged. Preferably, at least one of the drive parameters can be determined as a function of the connection protocol information, for example having user information. In this way, for example, it can be evaluated, in particular based on the storage system remote from the door system, who established the connection and at what point in time. For example, it can also be evaluated which control information was transmitted (e.g. from the communication unit to the transmission unit for monitoring, in particular controlling, the door component). The user information preferably includes at least one user identifier, for example an identifier or the like that is uniquely assigned to the user of the communication unit and/or to connection information (e.g. user name and password).

0079It is conceivable that in an object (ie in particular in an installation object, for example a building, or a group or a logical combination of door systems or the like) or in several objects, exactly one door system or several door systems are present and / or each with a (possibly single) communication unit can be used. E.g. The communication unit can be integrated into one of the door systems of the object or can be designed to be portable, and thus preferably be brought within the communication range of the respective door systems for reception. If the transmission unit of the respective door systems supports a connection-based communication technology, in particular Bluetooth communication, it can be provided that the communication unit can be connected, for example paired, with at least one or each of the respective transmission units, possibly also at different times. It is also possible for several door components to be provided in the one or more objects, and preferably their respective door function (in particular the movement state) can be adjusted by the drive parameters. There may also be several door components in a door system. The multiple door components or the drive units of the respective door components are each controlled (e.g. controlled) by a (single) control unit of the respective door systems.

0080According to the invention, the at least one drive parameter (received by the communication unit) is transmitted via the communication unit to a storage system remote from the door system (at least partially wirelessly), that is, for example, from the communication unit to the storage system, for example. B. be sent over a network, and/or subsequently received by the storage system, and/or vice versa. Optionally, the drive parameter received from the storage system can also be used if necessary. at a later point in time or another drive parameter (e.g. for a configuration) can be forwarded to the door system (in particular the transmission unit) by the communication unit. It may also be possible for the communication unit to determine a configuration of the door system (in particular via a computer program such as an app) based on the drive parameter (in particular received from the storage system) and/or to transmit it to the door system, in particular the transmission unit. Alternatively or additionally, the configuration can also be created outside of this system and/or transferred from the storage system to the communication unit.

0081In particular, the term “remote from the door system” refers to the storage system being provided outside of the door system. The storage system can preferably also be provided outside the communication unit. The storage system is preferably designed at a spatial distance from the door system and/or from the communication unit, and in particular has a distance from the door system and/or from the communication unit of preferably greater than 1 meter (m), preferably greater than 10 m, particularly preferably greater than 100 m, in particular larger than 1000 m and/or in the range from 1 m to 100 (or 1000 or 10000) kilometers (km), preferably 5 m to 50 km, preferably 10 m to 10 km, particularly preferably 100 m to 1 km. The storage system is particularly preferably in data connection with the communication unit, e.g. B. via one or more networks.

0082In particular, the transmission of the at least one (received) drive parameter from the communication unit to the storage system initially takes place via radio transmission (e.g. from the communication unit to at least one intermediate point). The intermediate point is, for example, a hotspot (e.g. WLAN or cellular hotspot) and/or an access point (e.g. for WLAN) and/or a base station of a cellular network and/or a network component (e.g. Hub / switch / repeater) of a (data) network and/or the like. It may be possible for another type of transmission to be used in addition to this radio interface transmission, for example a wired transmission, in order to transmit the at least one drive parameter (for example starting from the intermediate point) to the storage system. For example, the storage system can be provided by at least one data processing system, for example in a data center or the like. It may therefore be possible for a wired transmission of the drive parameter (e.g. received from the intermediate point) to and/or within the data center to take place (at least partially). This wired transmission includes, for example, an Internet transmission and/or a network transmission (e.g. a local area network) and/or a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) transmission and/or the like. This ensures reliable and fast transmission of the drive parameters.

0083It may also be possible for several drive parameters to be transmitted bundled for transmission (e.g. as data packets) and/or transmitted in encrypted and/or modulated form.

0084Preferably, there is no communication between the door system and the storage system remote from the door system without using the communication unit. In other words, in the door system, communication with the storage system, for example the transmission of the at least one drive parameter, takes place exclusively using the communication unit. This has the advantage that the door system does not originally have to implement the communication technology of the transmission interface of the communication unit, and can still be connected to the storage system at least indirectly.

0085Preferably, the storage system is designed as a non-volatile storage system for persistent data storage and/or as a database system. In particular, the storage system provides functions for electronic data management and/or data storage and/or data provision and/or data evaluation and/or data analysis. The database system is preferably designed as a relational database system. The database system includes e.g. b. at least one database and/or a database management system. Furthermore, the storage system can have at least one interface for accessing the data stored therein, for example an SQL interface or the like. The storage system is preferably designed to persistently store and/or manage and/or evaluate the drive parameters transmitted to the storage system, and/or to provide a user interface for carrying out these functions.

0086It is conceivable that drive parameters of different door systems (ie, for example, the drive parameters of the door system and at least one further drive parameter of another door system) are determined and/or stored and/or evaluated in the storage system. The drive parameter is preferably assigned to the door system in which the drive parameter was determined, for example based on an identifier of the door system.

0087In particular, it can also be provided that the drive parameters of the door systems are evaluated in the storage system and/or remotely from the door system (e.g. by an evaluation unit of the storage system), e.g. B. processed and / or analyzed and / or compared with each other, preferably so that an evaluation result of the evaluation is determined, in particular which is correlated with the drive parameters of the different door systems. Preferably, at least one of the door systems can be operated and/or checked (e.g. according to an error check) and/or analyzed (e.g. maintenance information can be determined) based on the evaluation result.

0088It can preferably be provided that at least one piece of information, in particular at least one drive parameter of the at least one door system and/or at least one further door system, is read out from the storage system and/or processed and/or evaluated and/or analyzed (in particular remotely from the door system). For this purpose, for example, at least one data processing system, in particular an evaluation unit, is provided, which controls the storage system (e.g. as a database) includes or is connected to it. For example, the evaluation of the information can include at least one statistical analysis or the like. Drive parameters of different types can advantageously be stored in the storage system, for example drive parameters with information about a location of the (respectively assigned) door system (location information) and / or drive parameters with information about an identifier of the respective assigned door system. It is also conceivable that drive parameters of different door systems are stored in the memory system. The evaluation and/or analysis remote from the door system can then include, for example, at least one comparison and/or an evaluation of a correlation of at least some of these stored drive parameters.

0089For example, an evaluation and/or analysis of the drive parameters (remote from the door system) can be carried out in such a way that maintenance information (planning information) is determined. For example, various drive parameters (such as usage information, usage cycles, identifiers, error information, and/or the like) can be used to determine the door systems for which maintenance should be carried out currently or in the future. For this purpose, for example the evaluation and/or analysis can be carried out based on predetermined criteria, e.g. B. carry out a comparison of the drive parameters and/or other information. It may also be possible for a trend or prediction to be made based on the drive parameters (e.g. for defects, failures, maintenance), possibly also depending on a location. Accordingly, the evaluation and/or analysis can also include filter functions, for example based on the selected filter, only use those drive parameters for the evaluation/analysis that meet a specific specification (e.g. have specific location information and/or identifier).

0090Furthermore, it may be possible for a configuration for the door system or at least some of the door systems to be determined based on the evaluation and/or analysis. It is also conceivable that at least one existing configuration is first transferred by the drive parameters from a door system to the storage system, then modified, and then transferred back to the door system. This allows, for example, the operation of the door system to be improved based on the drive parameters.

0091It is conceivable that the information to be stored in the storage system remote from the door system, in particular drive parameters, is transmitted from multiple door systems and/or multiple communication units to the storage system as a central storage system. For example, the storage system can receive and/or store drive parameters from at least 10 or 100 or 1000 or 10000 different door systems and/or communication units. In particular, this allows a comprehensive information database to be created that allows reliable analysis.

0092For example, the drive parameters can also include manufacturer information and/or partner information. The manufacturer information concerns, for example, information about a manufacturer, in particular of the door system. The partner information concerns, for example, information, in particular a partner ID, which is clearly assigned to a sales partner and/or installer of the door system. Using these drive parameters, for example A particularly reliable analysis of the information stored in the storage system can be carried out, since, for example, maintenance information and/or planning information can be determined and transmitted to the affected partners. It may also be possible for such a partner to receive protected access to the stored information assigned to them, for example through authentication on the storage system.

0093The storage system preferably comprises an access component, for example with a user interface, in order to be able to access and/or evaluate or analyze the information stored in the storage system. For example, the access component provides an authentication process so that an operator and/or partner and/or manufacturer can authenticate themselves for access. In particular, access to the access component via an app or the like can also be provided.

0094Preferably, a computer program, in particular an app, can be provided for the communication unit, which, for example, enables configuration and/or programming of macros for the door system. These macros can, for example, contain a sequence of commands, e.g. B. to initiate various door functions depending on given conditions. For example, it is conceivable that the computer program can set an opening and/or closing time for the door system (e.g. depending on a time of day).

0095Furthermore, it may also be possible for a (possibly at least partially automatic) functional test of the door system to be initiated, for example by the communication unit, in order to determine at least one of the drive parameters, in particular based on a result of the functional test. Depending on this functional test, it can be determined, for example, that maintenance of the door system is required. The functional test can be carried out, for example, by the communication unit (ie in particular by the computer program) and/or by the control unit and/or by the transmission unit and/or by the storage system (or a data processing system associated with it). In particular, the functional test can be carried out using at least one of the drive parameters, for example based on image information or the like.

0096Furthermore, it may be possible for the communication unit to be designed to determine at least one drive parameter for the door system. For example, a camera sensor of the communication unit can be used to capture image and/or video information about the door system, in particular a movement of the door component. This image and/or video information can then be used, for example, as a drive parameter, for example. B. to carry out a functional test on the door system.

0097Preferably, the at least one drive parameter (ie one or more drive parameters) can be relevant for the door function, in particular for the movement of the door component and/or for the drive of the door component. In other words, the at least one drive parameter can be correlated with (the implementation of) the door function. It may be possible that external influences directly influence the movement of the door component (e.g. a force on the door component, damage, an ambient temperature or the like) or influence it indirectly (e.g. a time of day if the door component is or should be kept closed at certain times of the day). For example, the drive parameter can be specific for at least one of the actions, e.g. B. be (measurement or other) information about it. It is also conceivable that drive parameters such as a period of use, frequency of use (in particular a number of use cycles for opening and closing the door component) or a (geographical) localization of the door component are relevant for the operation of the door system, in particular the movement of the door component, ie correlated with it is. A single usage cycle corresponds, for example, to a complete opening and closing of the door component, ie especially a complete course of movement.

0098Furthermore, it can be provided within the scope of the invention that the at least one drive parameter is determined based on at least one of the subsequent pieces of information (hereinafter also referred to as first pieces of information), preferably by the recognition unit and/or by the communication unit, and/or at least one of the provides the following information (or initial information):<ul id="ul0009" list-style="dash" compact="compact"><li>an operating information of the door system, in particular a usage cycle, in particular as the number of movement sequences that have taken place, and/or an operating time and/or an operating and/or usage protocol and/or a frequency of a movement sequence, in particular an opening of the door component, and/or a speed of the movement history,</li><li>environmental information, preferably weather information and/or location information and/or time information,</li><li>door system information, preferably information about further components of the door system and/or about the type of integration of the door component into the door system,</li><li>door component information, in particular information about a type and/or design and/or configuration of the door component,</li><li>communication unit information which is determined by at least one sensor of the communication unit, for example camera information and/or movement information and/or location information,</li><li>door function information, preferably information about a configuration, in particular programming (e.g. macros), of the door function,</li><li>maintenance information, preferably information about a maintenance status and/or a maintenance date and/or an initial commissioning time and/or a defect and/or a last maintenance in the door system,</li><li>a user information, which is determined in particular based on a connection process of the transmission unit with the communication unit and/or based on facial recognition and/or based on a usage protocol and/or based on authentication.</li></ul>

0099Various of these drive parameters and/or information (in particular in the storage system remote from the door system) can also be stored and/or compared and/or evaluated with one another, so that complex conclusions (such as maintenance information or an error diagnosis) can be drawn based on the drive parameters and/or information.

0100In particular, it may be possible that based on the drive parameter (and/or at least one of the drive parameters), preferably based on at least one piece of information about the drive parameter, in particular also information based on which the drive parameter is/was determined (e.g. by an evaluation), at least an evaluation function (in particular for the at least one door system) can be provided and/or is provided. The evaluation can preferably also be carried out using a combination and/or a comparison of at least two of the drive parameters.

0101For example, the evaluation can provide at least one evaluation function, in particular for the at least one door system or all door systems for which drive parameters are stored in the storage system. The evaluation function preferably comprises a function for determining at least one of the following pieces of information (hereinafter also referred to as second pieces of information):<ul id="ul0010" list-style="dash" compact="compact"><li>statistics about at least one door system,</li><li>a functional status of the at least one door system,</li><li>a result of a functional test of the at least one door system,</li><li>information about a localization of the at least one door system,</li><li>a manufacturer and/or partner information of the at least one door system,</li><li>a usage cycle and/or operating duration information about the at least one door system.</li></ul>

0102Alternatively or additionally, the evaluation function can also have a function for determining at least one of the aforementioned first pieces of information, for example if this at least one first piece of information is/was not used to determine the drive parameter and/or it is not directly known.

0103It is also conceivable that the transmission unit is designed as a radio, in particular Bluetooth, transmission unit, so that the transmission and/or reception of the drive parameter takes place at least partially via Bluetooth, preferably Bluetooth Low Energy. The use of the Bluetooth or BLE standard enables energy-saving and reliable transmission of the drive parameters. Alternatively or additionally, near-field communication or other radio communication can also be carried out with the communication unit via the transmission unit. In particular, the transmission unit includes one or more antennas for transmitting and/or receiving so that communication can be carried out reliably.

0104According to the invention, it is provided that the transmission unit is designed as a retrofittable transmission unit, so that the transmission unit can be subsequently integrated into the door system (retrofitted) in order to make the door system capable of communication, in particular according to a radio technology (such as Bluetooth or BLE). The transmission unit is designed as a retrofit device or is integrated into a retrofit device. This enables the door system to be easily expanded with a communication technology that is provided (if necessary exclusively in the door system) by the transmission unit, for example Bluetooth or BLE. The transmission unit preferably also provides further options for receiving and/or sending and/or evaluating drive parameters, for example additionally via wired communication technology, e.g. B. Ethernet or LAN. This can, for example, an alternative readout option for drive parameters can be provided.

0105It can be provided within the scope of the invention that the detection unit comprises at least one sensor component, so that the at least one drive parameter is at least partially based on a detection of the sensor component on the door system, in particular on the drive unit and / or on the door component and / or the movement state, and / or can be determined by the surroundings of the door system. At least one of the sensor components is preferably designed as a temperature sensor in order to detect an ambient temperature. If necessary, two or three or more sensor components can also be provided in order to carry out a detection in each case. For example, the sensor component (or one of the sensor components) can be integrated in the drive unit or door component or aligned with the drive unit or door component. This has the advantage that comprehensive monitoring of the operation of the door system is possible through the sensor components.

0106It is also optionally conceivable for the door system to have at least one control unit for controlling, in particular initiating and/or controlling and/or regulating, the door function, with the control unit preferably comprising the detection unit or with the detection unit being connected to the detection unit (electrically or via radio). to determine the at least one drive parameter based on the control. E.g. Information can therefore be used to determine the drive parameters, which are based on a detection of sensor components in the control unit (e.g. a current measurement or the like) and/or are based on a signal output from the control unit and/or are determined from an information source outside the door system ( e.g. from internet data or from the communication unit). For this purpose, the recognition unit and/or the control unit can, for example, have a connection or Have an interface to the Internet or a network.

0107In particular, the at least one drive parameter can be determined based on a signal output from the control unit. For example, the signal output of the control unit can have a target value of the control, which z. B. is compared with an actual value of the sensor components as part of an evaluation of the at least one drive parameter. E.g. The control unit influences the door system according to the target value, and the actual value is specific to the actual influence. The actual value is preferably recorded by a sensor component on the door system. Accordingly, a comparison of the actual value with the target value can also be carried out based on the drive parameter, for example in order to detect errors during operation. E.g. The target value is a predetermined speed of the drive unit, and the actual value is a measured speed of the drive unit.

0108Optionally, it can be provided that the door system has at least one control unit for controlling the door function, the control being directly or indirectly adaptable based on the (at least one) drive parameter, so that the drive parameter is correlated with the door function. In particular, the control unit is connected mechanically or electrically or via radio to the drive unit in such a way that the control unit can control and/or regulate the operation of the drive unit and/or the movement state, for example based on the specification by at least one target value. E.g. The direct adaptation of the control based on the drive parameter can be carried out by the control unit directly evaluating the corresponding drive parameter and/or using it for the control (e.g. the drive parameter corresponds to a target value). In particular, the indirect adaptation can take place in that the at least one drive parameter is first evaluated (for example remotely from the door system using the storage system), and z. b. On this basis, a configuration for the door system is created. The indirect adjustment can also take place in that the at least one drive parameter is weather information or time information, and the control is carried out, for example, depending on the weather or time. An indirect adjustment is also conceivable if the at least one drive parameter is specific for a usage cycle (number), so that maintenance becomes necessary after a certain frequency of use.

0109It may optionally be possible for the storage system to be designed as a persistent storage system and preferably to include at least one database. This has the advantage that extensive information can be used to improve the door system by storing the drive parameters.

0110A further advantage can be achieved within the scope of the invention if the communication unit for transmitting the at least one drive parameter has at least one radio transmission interface, in particular a mobile radio interface and/or a WLAN interface, so that a wireless communication technology can be used in particular through the radio transmission interface. The door system is preferably not originally able to use this wireless communication technology. This enables reliable and fast transmission of drive parameters.

0111It can be advantageous if, within the scope of the invention, the door component has at least one movably mounted door leaf, or in particular is designed completely as a door leaf, with the door leaf being designed to be at least partially automatically movable by the drive unit. For example, the drive unit can be controlled by the control unit and/or the control unit can be configured based on the drive parameters. This ensures flexible and adaptable operation of the door system.

0112The invention also relates to a method for providing at least one drive parameter of a door system according to claim 9.

0113The method according to the invention therefore brings with it the same advantages as have been described in detail with reference to a provision system according to the invention. In addition, the method according to the invention can be suitable for operating a provision system according to the invention. Furthermore, it may be possible for the door system and/or the communication unit and/or the storage system to be designed according to a provision system according to the invention.

0114Optionally, it can be provided that before sending and/or receiving and/or transmitting, a connection process is carried out between the communication unit and the transmission unit, the connection process being carried out on the basis of at least one (stored) connection information item, the connection information being carried out during an initial connection process, in particular a Bluetooth pairing between the communication unit and the transmission unit (e.g. for the first time). In particular, during the initial connection process, initial security information, for example a PIN or a digital key, is exchanged, preferably using manual operator input. Preferably, the connection information is security information, such as a digital key or an identifier or the like, which is preferably generated automatically and/or cryptographically. E.g. The connection information can also be secured cryptographically, in particular in the communication unit and/or the transmission unit. This can significantly increase safety when exchanging drive parameters.

0115Furthermore, it is conceivable that the door function, in particular an opening and/or a closing and/or a permanent closing and/or a permanent opening and/or a time-controlled opening and/or closing and/or a one-sided locking of the door component and/or an access authorization is at least partially configured automatically depending on the (at least one) drive parameter. E.g. After the at least one drive parameter has been stored in the storage system remote from the door system, the drive parameter can be evaluated. Preferably, the door system can then be configured based on this evaluation. It is also conceivable that, alternatively or additionally, the configuration and/or evaluation is carried out directly in the door system based on the drive parameters. E.g. Information about the drive parameters, such as time, location or weather information, can be used for configuration.

0116Furthermore, it is optionally provided that the drive parameter is determined as a function of the door function, in particular as a function of a usage cycle (in particular a usage cycle number), preferably using a counter component of the recognition unit, which preferably determines the usage cycle, in particular the number of movement processes of the door component and / or a drive unit of the door system. The movement process is, for example, the (completely completed) opening and/or closing and/or a rotation of the drive unit. This makes it z. B. possible to determine the utilization or maintenance status of the door system.

0117The invention also relates to a computer program product which, when executed by a communication unit, is designed to operate the communication unit according to a method according to the invention, so that<ul id="ul0011" list-style="dash" compact="compact"><li>receiving at least one drive parameter of a door system is carried out, and / or</li><li>a transmission of the received drive parameter to a storage system is initiated.</li></ul>

0118The computer program product according to the invention thus brings with it the same advantages as have been described in detail with reference to a method according to the invention and a delivery system according to the invention. For example, the computer program product is designed as a data storage and/or data carrier with a computer program, in particular with an app for the communication unit. Alternatively, the computer program product is, for example, as a firmware (or as a downloadable computer program) for the communication unit.

0119A retrofitting means for a door system, which has a transmission unit and which is not the subject of the present invention, has at least one (mechanical) connection in order to connect a connection interface element of the transmission unit to an original interface of the door system. In particular, this connection can be firmly connected to a housing of the retrofit device and/or supported by the housing. The connection is, for example, designed as an electrical plug or the like, and/or enables a non-positive and/or positive connection to the (original) interface connection for the (original) interface of the door system. This enables easy retrofitting. The retrofit means is preferably designed as an adapter and/or Bluetooth stick.

0120Further advantages, features and details of the invention emerge from the following description, in which exemplary embodiments of the invention are described in detail with reference to the drawings.

0121It shows schematically:<dl id="dl0001" compact="compact"><dt>Fig. 1</dt><dd>a view of parts of a provision system with parts of a door system,</dd><dt>Fig. 2</dt><dd>another view of parts of a delivery system,</dd><dt>Fig. 3</dt><dd>another view of parts of a delivery system,</dd><dt>Fig. 4</dt><dd>a representation of parts of a communication unit,</dd><dt>Fig. 5</dt><dd>a representation of parts of a recognition unit,</dd><dt>Fig. 6</dt><dd>a representation of parts of a transmission unit and a retrofit device,</dd><dt>Fig. 7</dt><dd>a representation of a computer program product.</dd></dl>

0122In the following figures, identical reference numerals are used for the same technical features of different exemplary embodiments.

0123In<figref idref="f0001">Figure 1</figref> A provision system 1 according to the invention is shown schematically. This includes at least one communication unit 10, parts of a door system 400, and optionally a storage system 100 remote from the door system. The communication unit 10 is designed, for example, as a mobile radio device, in particular a smartphone. For example, radio communication takes place through a radio transmission interface 20 of the communication unit 10 in order to send data to a network 90, for example a mobile radio network. This makes it possible, for example, for data transmission to the storage system 100 remote from the door system, which can also be connected to the network 90 directly or indirectly (e.g. via other networks).

0124Furthermore, the communication unit 10 can have at least one communication interface 25 in order to carry out further communication, in particular radio communication, preferably Bluetooth communication. This can then be used, for example, for data exchange via a Bluetooth connection 95 with a transmission unit 500 of the door system 400. In particular, at least one drive parameter P can be exchanged via the Bluetooth connection 95. This drive parameter P can then be transmitted, for example, via the network 90 to the storage system 100 remote from the door system.

0125The door system 400 includes z. B. at least one door component 410, in particular a movable door leaf. The door component 410 can be moved by a drive unit 480, wherein the drive unit 480 can be controlled, that is, for example, controlled, by a control unit 420. In this way, at least one door function can be provided, for example opening the door component 410. Other door functions are, for example, locking the door (e.g. at certain times) or the like. In particular, a recognition unit 440 of the door system 400 can be used to determine at least one drive parameter P, which is correlated with the door function. This drive parameter P can then, if necessary, be transmitted to the communication unit 10 via the transmission unit 500, and then via the network 90 to the storage system 100 remote from the door system.

0126As in<figref idref="f0002">Figure 2</figref> is shown, the communication unit 10 can be designed as a portable communication unit 10 and, if necessary, carry out the reception and / or transmission of several drive parameters P, which come from different door systems 400. For example, both a first door system 401 and a second door system 402 can be provided, which can establish a respective connection, in particular Bluetooth connection 95, with the communication unit 10 via respective transmission units 500. For example, establishing a connection is only possible if the portable communication unit 10 is within communication range of the respective transmission units 500.

0127In<figref idref="f0003">Figure 3</figref> It is shown schematically that the communication unit 10 can also be integrated in the door system 400 (ie in at least one of the door systems 400). In this case too, it may be possible for another door system 402 to communicate with the communication unit 10 of the first door system 401 and/or to transmit drive parameters P to it. In this way, the door systems can be networked cost-effectively and reliably in order to transmit drive parameters P to a storage system 100 remote from the door system.

0128<figref idref="f0004">Figure 4</figref> shows schematically (at least partially) the structure of a communication unit 10. The communication unit 10 includes, for example. at least one radio transmission interface 20 and/or at least one communication interface 25 and/or at least one sensor 30, in particular at least one camera sensor 31 and/or at least one location sensor 32 and/or at least one acceleration sensor 33, and/or at least one processing means 40 and/or at least a data memory 50, which may be (at least partially) electrically or electronically connected to one another.

0129In<figref idref="f0004">Figure 5</figref> a schematic at least partial structure of a recognition unit 440 is shown. This can, for example, have a memory component 441 and/or a locating component 442 and/or a receiving component 443 and/or a processing component 444 and/or a sensor component 445 and/or a counter component 446, which can be at least partially connected to one another electrically or electronically.

0130<figref idref="f0005">Figure 6</figref> schematically shows a retrofit means 700 or a transmission unit 500. The transmission unit 500 includes, for example, a storage element 501 and/or a processing element 502 and/or an interface element 503 and/or a connection interface element 504. For example, a connection can be made via the connection interface element 504 a part of the door system 400, in particular an original interface of the door system 400. For this purpose, the connection interface element 504 is z. B. electrically connected to a connection 701 of the retrofit device 700. The connection 701 is preferably designed as an electrical plug or the like, which can be connected, for example, in a force-fitting and/or form-fitting manner to an interface connection of the door system 400. Furthermore, the retrofitting means 700 can have a housing 702 so that it can be used as an individually handleable part, for example. as an adapter and/or Bluetooth stick, which can be subsequently connected to the door system 400.

0131In<figref idref="f0005">Figure 7</figref> A computer program product 600 is shown schematically. This can, for example, include a computer program for carrying out a method according to the invention. Alternatively or additionally, the computer program product 600 can be designed as a data storage device or data carrier, such as a CD or DVD.

0132The above explanation of the embodiments describes the present invention solely in terms of examples. Of course, individual features of the embodiments can, if technically sensible, be freely combined with one another without departing from the scope of the present invention, the scope of protection of the invention being defined by the claims.
