  • Patent number: 7995963
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the management of a plurality of decentralized customer terminals by means of a bidirectional communications connection between a central unit and customer connection units associated with the customer terminals, wherein the central unit transmits at least one synchronous radio control program to a plurality of customer connection units by means of at least one longwave transmitter via a central radio ripple control channel, wherein each customer connection unit triggers a predefined process at least one associated customer terminal in dependence on the received radio control telegram, and wherein each customer connection unit transmits at least one data telegram which includes information related to the associated customer terminal to the central unit via a decentralized return channel which is separate from the radio ripple control channel; wherein the transmission of the data telegram to the control unit takes place based on time, based on an event and/or in dependence

  • Publication number: 20040202116
    Abstract: The invention relates to a radio ripple control system for the control of a plurality of decentralized customer terminals in dependence on customer-initiated transmission requests by means of central longwave transmission devices, comprising at least two central longwave transmitters operable independently of one another, at least two central units which are each associated with one of the longwave transmitters and which are designed in each case for the control of the transmission operation of at least one longwave transmitter in dependence on the customer-initiated transmission requests, a plurality of decentralized customer stations designed for the transmission of the customer-initiated transmission requests to the central units, and a plurality of decentralized radio receivers stationed in the reception region, with at least one customer terminal to be controlled being associated with each of the decentralized radio receivers, each of which is associated with at least one of the central unit in dependenc
