  • Publication number: 20240153328
    Abstract: A method for preparing for the start-up of a control unit for access devices, wherein at least one access device is communicatively connected to the control unit, wherein the control unit has a communication interface for information technology communication with a mobile terminal and/or has an input device for detecting an input from an installer or is in communicative connection with an input device for detecting an input from an installer. The method includes: a) detecting, using the control unit, an information technology signal or a change in an existing information technology continuous signal of a mobile terminal by the communication interface, and/or detecting an input from an installer using the input device, b) sending a trigger signal from the control unit to the access device, c) receiving the trigger signal using the access device, and d) performing an action using the access device depending on the received trigger signal.

  • Publication number: 20240142931
    Abstract: A door system for at least one door, the door system including door components, with one of the components being designed as a control unit. The control unit and at least one other door component are connected to one another via a first communication bus. An access system with an above door system and with a computing unit are related, with an image of the door system stored in the computing unit, the door components connected to the first communication bus each having an identifier. The identifiers are stored as part of the image of the door system in the computing unit and/or with past and current operating states of the door system stored in the computing unit. An access system with at least one of the above door systems is related, with at least one door system having an authentication device configured to receive an access attribute for authentication.

  • Patent number: 9691210
    Abstract: A coin processing device (10) and a method for classifying coins are provided. The coin processing device (10) includes at least one computerized controller (9) having a storage unit (36), and at least one coin channel (34) for guiding a coin (35). The at least one coin channel (34) includes at least one sensor (37) suitable for measuring a passage time of the coin (35). An accelerating device (43) is connected to the computerized controller (9) and is designed to accelerate the coin (35) in a reproducible manner. A target speed value for a specified coin (35) is stored in the storage unit (36). An actual speed value is calculated based on the transport time detected by the sensor (37). A coin class of the coin (35) is ascertained by the computerized controller (9) from the comparison of the target speed value and the actual speed value.

  • Publication number: 20160314636
    Abstract: The invention relates to a coin processing device (10) and a corresponding method for classifying coins using the coin processing device (10). For this purpose, the coin processing device (10) comprises at least one computerized controller (9), which has a storage unit (36), and at least one coin channel (34) for guiding a coin (35). The at least one coin channel (34) comprises at least one sensor (37) which is suitable for measuring a passage time of the coin (35) and is connected to the computerized controller (9). Furthermore, an accelerating device (43) for the coins (35) is provided, said accelerating device (43) likewise being connected to the computerized controller (9) and being designed to accelerate the coin (35) in a reproducible manner. A target speed value for a specified coin (35) is stored in the storage unit (36), said target speed value being comparable to an actual speed value of the coin. The actual speed value is calculated on the basis of the transport time detected by the sensor (37).

  • Patent number: 5911143
    Abstract: A method and system for registration, authorization, and control of access rights in a computer system. Access rights of subjects on objects in a computer system are controlled using parameterized role types that can be instantiated into role instances equivalent to roles or groups. The required parameters are provided by the subject of the computer system, e.g. by a person, a job position, or an organization unit. Furthermore, relative resource sets are instantiated into concrete resource sets and individual resources by using the same parameter values as for instantiating the role types. Authorization and control of access rights include capability lists providing the access rights of the subjects on the objects of a computer system on a per subject basis. Furthermore, access control lists are derived from capability lists, so that access rights of the subjects on the respective objects are provided.
