  • Publication number: 20230062514
    Abstract: A method for determining a protection zone with a protection radius about a wireless communication object transponder, wherein the method includes a) ascertaining a first indefinite position of the object transponder using a first locating system, b) ascertaining at least two definite anchor object distances between the object transponder and at least two anchor gateways with respective known positions via a definite distance measuring device using a two-way ranging method, and c) ascertaining the protection radius using a failsafe computing device which receives the first indefinite position from the first locating system and the at least two definite anchor object distances from the distance measuring device and determines the protection radius therefrom using the known positions of the at least two anchor gateways.

  • Publication number: 20230046478
    Abstract: A method for determining a definite safe distance between a wirelessly communicating object transponder and at least one anchor gateway in accordance with a two-way ranging method, wherein transmission and reception timestamps are detected for each communication message via the transponder and the at least one anchor gateway, each of the timestamps from the transponder and the at least one anchor gateway together with at least one respective piece of timestamp monitoring information are transmitted to a failsafe computing device, at least one check is implemented via the failsafe computing device, and the definite safe distance is determined via the failsafe computing device aided by the checked timestamps, where timestamp errors occurring during the detection of the timestamps are caused solely by the transponder or alternatively solely the one anchor gateway.

  • Publication number: 20220345354
    Abstract: A system and a method for exchanging data between a server and a client in an industrial data network, wherein the server employs a first information model for information interchange and the client employs a second information model for information interchange, where the method includes converting the first and the second information models in a first and a second machine-interpretable description, deducing similarities between elements of the first and the second machine-interpretable description, proposing and implementing a mapping of at least one element of the first information model to an element of the second information model based on the deduced similarities in text and in structure and, employing, by a gateway entity, the mapping for a data exchange between the server and the client such that the semantic mapping of virtually any input, vendor-specific metadata, and any output model (including OPC UA-based models) is achieved.

  • Patent number: 11475760
    Abstract: In order to detect movements of objects and/or living beings in a radio range, which enables easily with a minimum of hardware complexity an automated movement detection based on a Single-Sensor, it is proposed to: Collect as input data for the movement detection based on received radio signals of an intended or unintended communication between a transmitting radio terminal being mobile or fixed and a receiving local fixed radio device in the radio range a set of “Channel State Information”-values, determine a change in the received radio signals, which are derived from the facts that the movement influences the transmitted radio signal in the radio range based on the collected CSI-values by the indication of a statistical parameter value, and assess on the basis of the statistical parameter value a “chaos index” value until the “chaos index” value in accordance with a threshold check provides a reliable statement.

  • Patent number: 10488489
    Abstract: When an optical motion detector of a room device detects movement in a room in which it is installed, the room device transmits a radio message including its position. Upon receiving the radio message, a mobile device measures the signal strength to determine whether it is high. If the movement detected by the optical motion detector correlates chronologically with movement detected by an inertial movement sensor of the mobile device, the mobile device concludes that the mobile device is located in the room or in proximity of the position of the room device. The identity of the mobile device is protected, as no server or other device is required for positioning to which the mobile device would have to disclose the identity, position or sensor information thereof.
