  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20240133226
    Abstract: A method for operating a door actuator of a door system, with at least one movable door leaf and a control device to control a drive of the door leaf, and with a sensor unit with which data of at least one object is recorded in a detection region in front of the door system and at least one item of information about the object is transmitted to the control device. The method includes at least the following steps in the order listed: a) recording object data of the object, b) processing the recorded object data, c) evaluating the processed object data, d) dividing the detection region into first and second partial regions, e) identifying a desire to enter of the object depending on the partial region in which the object data was recorded, and f) opening the door leaf only in the case of an identified desire to enter.

  • Publication number: 20240052684
    Abstract: A door system with a door actuator, includes at least one door leaf, and a sensor unit configured and connected to a control unit of the door system, with the approach of an object to the door system within a detection region being detected by the sensor unit, in particular designed as a radar sensor or as a camera. The method includes at least the following steps: determining for the first time at least one first object position of the object within the detection region, determining for the second time at least one subsequent second object position of the object within the detection region, calculating an object vector based on the determined first and second object positions and opening the at least one door leaf depending on the properties of the calculated object vector. A door actuator for carrying out the method and a computer program product are also related.

  • Publication number: 20240052685
    Abstract: A door actuator for a door system with at least one door leaf, with a sensor unit being is configured and connected to a control unit of the door system, with the approach of at least one object to the door system within a detection region being detectable by the sensor unit, with the control unit configured to provide to the sensor unit deactivation data for deactivating the detection of the at least one object in at least one defined partial region of the detection region and/or to hide, delete and/or filter out object data, detected by means of the sensor unit, of at least one detected object in a defined partial region of the detection region. A door system for carrying out such a method and a computer program product are also related.

  • Publication number: 20230332457
    Abstract: A method for controlling at least one door system for separating an entrance side in front of the door system from an exit side behind the door system, with the door system (100) being configured with a sensor unit for detecting at least one person within a sensor detection region, and furthermore an authentication device for authenticating people is provided at least on the entrance side in front of the door system. The method includes the following steps: granting an access authorization to the person by the authentication device, detecting the position of the authenticated person by the sensor unit in the sensor detection region, continuously tracking the person in the sensor detection region by the sensor unit and activating an opening of the leaf element of the door system by the door drive when the authenticated person approaches the at least one leaf element.

  • Publication number: 20210164279
    Abstract: A door closer assembly includes a door closer without a powered drive for closing a door. The door closer includes an energy accumulator, wherein the energy accumulator is chargeable by manually opening the door and wherein the energy accumulator discharges for closing the door. A sensor unit is also included for detecting an angle information with regard to the opening angle of the door.
