Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement and a method for localizing objects provided with data carriers.
- Such methods can be used to locate people or devices in appropriate areas.
- these objects are associated with a portable data carrier that stores position data from a position determination system, e.g. Global Positioning System (GPS).
- GPS Global Positioning System
- US 5 490079 a system is described which is provided for the automatic collection of user fees using GPS.
- This system works with a day that contains a GPS sensor. This day receives the absolute position data from the GPS and compares this position data with area data that are stored in this day. If the tag determines that it is in such an area, it sends a signal to a receiver. The time of stay in an area subject to user fees is saved in the day. With appropriate payment
- the day includes also a memory in which fee-based areas are stored.
- the size of the data carrier In order to be able to use such a data carrier universally, the size of the data carrier must be small in relation to the object. On the other hand, such mobile data carriers are dependent on batteries, which should be small but should have a long service life.
- the object of the invention is to provide an arrangement and a method which optimize the data exchange between data carrier and information unit.
- the localization system essentially consists of three components: a position determination system, an object provided with a data carrier and an information unit.
- the data carrier When it is initialized, the data carrier sends its absolute coordinates, which represent the absolute position that it receives from the respective position determination system, to the information unit. Corresponding areas are stored in electronic maps in the information unit. The information unit translates the respective absolute coordinates of the data carrier into the relative area data. There is also a
- the information unit sends the borders of the area in which the object is located back to the data carrier, where they are then stored.
- the data carrier queries the position determination system for its absolute position at definable intervals. A comparison of this absolute position with the stored boundaries of the area determines whether the data carrier is still in the respective stored area. As long as this comparison shows that the object with the data carrier is still in the respective area, there is no communication between the data carrier and the information unit. Only when the data carrier determines that its absolute coordinates lie outside the area stored in it does it send its new position to the information unit.
- An advantage of this method is that the relative position of the object is always available in the information unit for every application that is interested in the location of the object.
- the communication effort between data carrier and information unit is thus limited to the bare minimum.
- the saved areas can be changed at any time without changing the data carrier.
- How often the data carrier queries its absolute position from the positioning device depends in particular on the required accuracy, but also on the speed at which the object moves.
- Applications e.g. Search systems that are interested in the location of the object, but for which the absolute position is not critical, can call up the current location of the data carrier at any time from the information unit via existing infrastructure networks.
- Data carrier is then not a hindrance, since the area or generally the relative position of the object is stored in the information unit.
- the respective application does not have to ask the individual data carrier directly for each request. This reduces the communication effort.
- Fig. 1 is a block diagram of an arrangement according to the invention
- Fig. 2 structure of a data carrier in connection with position determination system and
- FIG. 1 shows the structure of an arrangement according to the invention.
- the information unit 5 monitors, for example, four areas 1, 2, 3 and 4, in each of which there are objects to be monitored which are provided with data carriers 11, 12, 13 and 14.
- the position determination system 6 sends the data carriers 11 to 14 the absolute position data.
- This absolute position data is sent to the information unit 5 depending on the state of the data carrier.
- the absolute position data are sent directly to the information unit.
- the information unit 5 sends back to the data carriers 11 to 14 the boundaries of the respective area in which it is currently located. Otherwise, the absolute position data are only sent to the information unit 5 if they lie outside the stored limits of the current current area.
- Applications 7, which are interested in the location of the data carriers 11 to 14, receive the current area information from a database from the information unit 5. For this purpose, the data carrier does not have to be contacted. If applications have to react under certain conditions, the information unit 5 sends a message to the application when the respective condition occurs.
- Figure 2 shows the data carrier 11, the position sensor 20, a transmitter
- the data carrier 11 receives its absolute position data from the position determination system 6 by means of the position sensor 20, for example absolute coordinates in a space or the geographical location with indication of the longitude and latitude.
- the global positioning system GPS
- the global positioning system can be used as the position determination system 6.
- Local positioning systems inside buildings that use infrared or radio can also be used.
- the object to be monitored is connected to the data carrier 11.
- the data carrier 11 receives via the Position sensor 20 the absolute position data from the position determination system 6.
- the position data received during the initialization are sent directly to the information unit 5.
- the transmitter 21 located in the data carrier 11 is used for this purpose. It is also possible to send additional information, such as time and identification, with the position data to the information unit 5.
- the respective areas are stored in the form of electronic maps in the information unit 5.
- the information unit 5 receives the absolute position data transmitted by the data carrier 11 from the location of the object during the initialization process. These absolute position data are assigned in the information unit 5 to the respective area in which the object with the data carrier 11 is currently located.
- the information about the area in which the object with the data carrier is located is stored in a database of the information unit 5.
- the boundaries of the area in which the object is located are sent back to the data carrier 11.
- the data carrier 11 receives these limits with the receiver 22.
- the limits can be transmitted in the form of data of a polygon.
- the data carrier 11 stores these limits in the memory 23.
- the position determination system 6 is queried at appropriate intervals by the data carrier 11 for the respective current absolute position.
- Each new position is compared in the comparator 24 with the boundaries of the area stored in the memory 23.
- the object with the data carrier 11 is in the area whose boundaries are stored in the data carrier, there is no communication between the data carrier 11 and the information unit 5.
- the latter determines the area belonging to this position data on the basis of its stored electronic maps, stores the area entered by the object and sends the new borders of the area to the data carrier 11.
- the communication between data carrier 11 and information unit 5 is thus optimized for the time that data carrier 11 is located within an area.
- An application 7, which is interested in the current position of the data carrier, receives the position data of the respectively stored area for the corresponding data carrier 11 on request to the information unit 5.
- the data carrier 11 thus does not have to be constantly in the reception area of all possible applications.
- An information unit thus serves a large number of data carriers 11. At the same time, different applications can access the information unit 5, so that not every application has to contact the corresponding data carriers directly.
- FIG. 3 shows schematically the time sequence for the communication between the components belonging to the localization system.
- the sequence for the data carrier is shown with A, with B for the information unit, with C for the position determination system and with D for an application.
- Step (31) shows the initialization of the data carrier.
- the data carrier receives its absolute position data from the position determination system C.
- the data carrier then sends this to the information unit (34).
- the information unit assigns the absolute position of the data carrier to an area using the electronic maps stored there (35). This area assignment is stored in a database of the information unit (36).
- the boundary data for the respective area are compiled on the basis of the identified area (37). Then transmits the
- Information unit this area boundary data for the data carrier (38).
- the volume receives and stores the area boundary data (39).
- the data carrier receives its current absolute position (33) from the position determination system. This current absolute position of the data carrier is compared with the area boundary data (41). If the object with the data carrier has moved out of the saved area, the current absolute position is no longer within the area boundary data.
- the data carrier then sends its new absolute position to the information unit (42). The same steps are processed there as after the first transmission of the absolute position (35, 36, 37, 38). If the position lies within the area boundary data, the new absolute position is not transmitted to the information unit.
- an application D may have asked for a data carrier (43).
- the information unit searches for the corresponding data carrier from the database (44) and sends the application the current location of the data carrier (45).
- One possible application is a people search system. Here, all people get a data carrier and move within a building complex. If a person is to be localized, for example via a local computer network Information unit can be queried. For example, you get the room or building in which the person is currently staying.
- a position sensor is installed in vehicles. This gives the vehicle its absolute position, which it sends to an information unit via a transmission medium. From here, information about the location of individual vehicles can then be queried. In this way, forwarding agents can locate vehicles that are located in the overall area that is served by an information unit.
- An extension is the linking of several information units.
- the databases of several information units are managed centrally, so that only one location has to be queried by the respective application.
