Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a data management device for two-wheeled vehicles, in particular electric bicycles, electric-assisted bicycles (pedelecs), etc., which is used to manage and / or diagnose the operating data of the two-wheeled vehicle, in particular the data connected to a wireless two-wheeled vehicle device.

[0002] The present invention also relates to a diagnostic device for a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular an electric bicycle, an electric assisted bicycle, etc., which is used to diagnose the operating data of the two-wheeled vehicle, in particular the data connected to the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device, and to communicate with a data management device.

[0003] The invention also relates to a two-wheeler system comprising a two-wheeler and a diagnostic device.

[0004] The invention also relates to a method for managing operating data of a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular for managing and / or diagnosing data of a connection to a wireless two-wheeled vehicle device.

[0005] Although the invention can be generally applied to any two-wheeled vehicle, the invention is described in relation to a bicycle in the form of an electric bicycle. Background Art

[0006] Nowadays, wireless components in the form of so-called smart devices are also used in the bicycle industry. Different bicycle components are known that have a variety of radio interfaces. These bicycle components include, for example, locks, gear shifters, tire pressure sensors, etc. In particular, electric bicycles, also called e-bikes, are particularly suitable for expansion with such expansion components, since interaction with core components of the e-bike, such as the drive, display, battery or components, can be advantageous. The core component is also referred to below as a two-wheeled vehicle system device. Thus, for example, it is possible to realize

[0007] Displaying information of these connected expansion components on the display screen of the electric bicycle;

[0008] An expansion unit connected to the electric bicycle system control; or

[0009] The functionality of the "System E-Bike" can be expanded by connecting expansion components.

[0010] For the wireless connection of the extension components to the electric bicycle, it is necessary to initially pair the individual wireless extension components with the electric bicycle system, i.e. to establish a connection, "announce". During the connection, further parameters may also be transferred, such as parameters for configuring the component. Status information about the component may also be provided in order to manage and check the connected components. Due to the heterogeneity of the large number of possible components, this data is individual for each extension component. The data includes, for example:

[0011] A unique and unambiguous identifier of the component, such as a name, Bluetooth address, ID; or

[0012] Communication profiles / interface definitions;

[0013] Requirements for encryption of communications;

[0014] Authentication data;

[0015] status information; or

[0016] Set the parameters.

[0017] The initial pairing process is also often carried out manually. For example, various connection parameters must be configured, the connection establishment initiated and the connection subsequently checked. Especially in the production area, i.e. at the bicycle manufacturer, and in the repair area, i.e. at the individual dealers, the configuration and testing of the connection and the associated components must be fast, convenient, reliable and uniform. Summary of the invention

[0018] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a data management device for a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular an electric bicycle, an electric-assisted bicycle, etc., the data management device is used to manage and / or diagnose the operating data of the two-wheeled vehicle, in particular the data connected to the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device, the data management device comprising:

[0019] a first communication interface for wireless communication with a wireless two-wheeled vehicle device of the two-wheeled vehicle, preferably based on Bluetooth, WLAN and / or ANT+;

[0020] a second communication interface configured to communicate with at least one two-wheeled vehicle system device;

[0021] A third communication interface is used to communicate with the diagnostic device, in particular in an authenticated and / or encrypted manner, so as to at least partially provide, change, delete and / or call the operating data of the two-wheeled vehicle; and includes a data management device, at least for managing the operating data of the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device, wherein the data management device is connected to the third communication interface and is constructed to receive, change, delete and / or provide operating data, wherein the operating data at least includes data for one or more wireless two-wheeled vehicle devices to communicate with the first communication interface and / or data for the operation and / or diagnosis of each wireless two-wheeled vehicle device, and wherein the data management device is constructed to communicate wirelessly with the one or more wireless two-wheeled vehicle devices based on the managed operating data, in particular in an authenticated and / or encrypted manner, so as to exchange data.

[0022] In another embodiment, the present invention provides a diagnostic device for a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular for an electric bicycle, an electric assisted bicycle, etc., which is used to diagnose the operating data of the two-wheeled vehicle, in particular the data connected to the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device, and to communicate with a data management device according to any one of claims 1 to 7, wherein the diagnostic device has a first interface for communicating with the data management device, in particular, has a second interface for communicating with an external memory, preferably a cloud memory.

[0023] In another embodiment, the present invention provides a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular an electric bicycle or an electric assisted bicycle, comprising a data management device according to any one of claims 1 to 7 and at least one two-wheeled vehicle system device connected to a second communication interface of the data management device.

[0024] In another embodiment, the invention provides a two-wheeled vehicle system comprising a two-wheeled vehicle according to claim 10 and a diagnostic device according to any one of claims 8 to 9, which can be connected to a data management device, in particular wirelessly, for preferably bidirectional communication.

[0025] In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method for managing operating data of a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular for managing and / or diagnosing data connected to a wireless two-wheeled vehicle device, the method comprising the following steps:

[0026] providing operating data of the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device, in particular by means of a diagnostic application of the diagnostic device, wherein the operating data comprises data for communication with one or more wireless two-wheeled vehicle devices and / or data for operation and / or diagnosis of individual wireless two-wheeled vehicle devices;

[0027] storing the operating data in a memory of a data management device according to any one of claims 1 to 7 in a two-wheeled vehicle;

[0028] establishing a communication connection with the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device by means of a data management device based on the stored operating data belonging to the corresponding wireless two-wheeled vehicle device; and in particular

[0029] At least a part of the operating data is transmitted to the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device via the established communication connection for configuring the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device.

[0030] One of the advantages thus achieved is that the wireless components of the two-wheeled vehicle, i.e. the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device and its connection, can be set up or configured in a simple and reliable manner. Another advantage is that the corresponding operating data of the wireless two-wheeled vehicle can be managed flexibly. Another advantage is that the required wireless connections of the individual wireless two-wheeled vehicle devices can be configured, managed and diagnosed independently. Another advantage is the possibility of interaction with diagnostic applications: data sets can thus be edited, i.e., parameters of the wireless two-wheeled components can be changed or deleted, for example. The operating data can be called up, for example, for information collection and for reprocessing or archiving, for example, the operating data can be stored in the cloud.

[0031] Additional features, advantages and further embodiments of the present invention are described below or disclosed thereby.

[0032] According to an advantageous embodiment, the data management device has at least one of the following devices: a memory, a display device, a human-machine interface for operating the data management device by a user. This has the advantage that the (end) user of the two-wheeled vehicle can edit, display or store the operating data, which improves the flexibility in the configuration for operating the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device.

[0033] According to another advantageous development, the data management device is configured to at least partially obtain the operating data of the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device itself. This significantly simplifies the operability and subsequent operation of the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device. This avoids laborious configuration or initialization by the user.

[0034] According to another advantageous extension, the data management device monitors the first communication interface for receiving and analyzing radio signals and extracting operating data from the analyzed radio signals. This has the advantage that the data management device itself can obtain operating data of the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device in a simple manner.

[0035] According to another advantageous embodiment, a third communication interface is provided for communicating with the diagnostic device, in particular encrypted and / or authenticated, in order to at least partially provide, modify and / or delete operating data of the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device. This has the advantage that, for example, a dealer and / or manufacturer can thus edit the operating data in a simple and reliable manner.

[0036] According to another advantageous extension, the operating data includes a data set for each wireless two-wheeled vehicle device, which includes exportable non-editable information and changeable operating parameters of the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device. Therefore, the operating data of each wireless two-wheeled vehicle device can be provided in a simple manner. In the sense of the present invention, non-editable information refers to information that cannot be changed from the outside, such as by a diagnostic device, etc. Non-editable information is, for example, a variable signal strength value, which is related to the spatial distance from the wireless extension component to the data management device. Therefore, the signal strength value is information that cannot be changed in the sense of editing by the diagnostic device but is itself variable. Another example is a non-editable device name, which is also not a variable parameter.

[0037] According to another advantageous extension, the data management device is configured to establish a separate, direct, particularly authenticated and / or encrypted connection with each wireless two-wheeled vehicle device by means of the first communication interface. The advantage of doing so is that the data management device can communicate directly with each wireless two-wheeled vehicle device in a so-called star network. Therefore, there is no need to carry out laborious transmission or indirect communication with the first wireless two-wheeled vehicle device via the second wireless two-wheeled vehicle device.

[0038] According to another advantageous development, the data management device is designed to receive data from the first wireless two-wheeled vehicle device and / or the first two-wheeled vehicle system device and to provide the received data via the connection of the second wireless two-wheeled vehicle device and / or the second two-wheeled vehicle system device. Thus, data can be exchanged unidirectionally from the first extension component to the second extension component indirectly by means of the data management device, or it should also be possible to exchange bidirectionally. Bidirectional transmission to the core component or the two-wheeled vehicle system device can also be realized.

[0039] According to a further advantageous embodiment of the diagnostic device, the diagnostic device is designed to carry out at least one of the following steps:

[0040] showing information about wireless connections;

[0041] Information showing a wireless two-wheeled vehicle device with which a wireless connection can be established;

[0042] creating a local copy of the operational data for use in at least partially modifying the operational data;

[0043] generating operating data for at least one wireless two-wheeled vehicle device;

[0044] transmitting the modified and / or generated operating data to a data management device;

[0045] The operating data are stored locally and / or in an external memory, preferably synchronously.

[0046] This has the advantage that the user of the diagnostic device is thus provided with a large number of configuration and editing possibilities in a flexible manner.

[0047] Further important features and advantages of the invention emerge from the dependent claims, from the drawings and from the associated description of the figures with reference to the drawings.

[0048] It goes without saying that the features mentioned above or to be explained below can be used not only in the respectively indicated combination but also in other combinations or alone, without departing from the scope of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] Preferred embodiments and implementations of the present invention are shown in the drawings and explained in more detail in the following description, wherein the same reference numerals in the drawings represent the same or similar or functionally identical components. Herein, it is shown:

[0052] Figure 3 : Steps of a method according to one embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] Figure 1 A two-wheeled vehicle system according to one embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0054] exist Figure 1 The two-wheeled vehicle system 1 is shown in detail in FIG. The two-wheeled vehicle system 1 essentially comprises an electric bicycle 2. The electric bicycle 2 comprises a data management device 10, hereinafter referred to as a system intervention component, which is wirelessly connected to a wireless extension component 21 for the electric bicycle 2 via a first interface 10a. The system intervention component 10 is connected to system components 11, 12 of the electric bicycle 2 via a second wired interface 10b, such as an energy storage device 12 for supplying energy to a drive device 11 of the electric bicycle 2 and other two-wheeled vehicle system devices. The system intervention component 10 further comprises a display device 13, for example for displaying the charging state of the energy storage device 12 or data of the wireless extension component 21. In addition, the system intervention component 10 has a memory 14 and a data management device 15 in the form of programmable logic, which is used to operate the system intervention component 10. In addition, the system intervention component 10 is connected to a diagnostic device 100 via a third interface 10c via a cable 30. The diagnostic device 100 can be, for example, a computer or a tablet computer, on which a diagnostic application 60 is running. In Figure 1In the embodiment, the diagnostic device 100 has a USB interface 100a, which is connected to the system intervention component 10, more precisely to the interface 10c of the system intervention component. With the help of the diagnostic device 100, it is possible to edit, modify, delete, generate, etc. a data set 50 of operating data of the wireless extension component 21 and other wireless extension components 22, 23 that are not partially fixed to the electric bicycle and / or the system components 11, 12. In this case, the editing can be performed, for example, by an optical scanner, a touch screen, a keyboard, a stylus, etc. In addition, the diagnostic device 100 has a second interface 100b, via which the diagnostic device is connected to an online storage 200, wherein the diagnostic device synchronizes the operating data 50 with the online storage 200. The online storage 200 can also provide an interface through which the corresponding operating data 50 can be accessed via a mobile radio network, for example, an App 60 on the mobile radio device 101. The operating data can in turn be provided to the system intervention component 10 via the mobile radio device 101 and the corresponding wireless interface. Likewise, the operating data 50 can be read directly via the first interface 10 a by a diagnostic application 60 or App on the mobile radio device 101 .

[0055] Therefore, the system intervention component 10 essentially serves as a central intervention end to the electric bicycle 2 and has at least one of the following functionalities:

[0056] - wireless access to the electric bicycle system 1 via a radio interface, in particular a star connection of wireless extension components 21 , 22 , 23 for extension of the electric bicycle system, to a diagnostic application 60 in the form of an App on a mobile radio device 101 in the form of a smartphone, tablet or the like,

[0057] - temporary, cable-based intervention 30 into the electric bicycle system 1 , for example a diagnostic application 60 via a USB on the diagnostic device 100 ;

[0058] - communicate with the core components or system components 11, 12 of the electric bicycle system 1, such as the drive device 11, the battery 12, etc.;

[0059] - management of the wireless connection to the wireless extension components 21 , 22 , 23 by means of a suitable diagnostic application 60 based on the data set 50 ;

[0060] - Provide information from the data set 50 of the wireless extension components 21, 22, 23.

[0061] The system intervention component 10 is not limited to these functionalities. Depending on the implementation, more functions can be integrated, such as a human-machine interface, a memory 14, another interface, etc.

[0062] Here, the diagnostic application 60 is used for data entry (Bedatung), configuration and error analysis of the core components or system components 11, 12 of the electric bicycle system 1. The diagnostic application 60 is installed, for example, on a PC 100 or other suitable terminal device for maintenance in the environment of the manufacturer and dealer. The PC or other suitable terminal device can then be connected to the system intervention component 10 of the electric bicycle 2 via USB or radio. The wireless connection of the wireless extension components 21, 22, 23 can thus be configured, managed and diagnosed. Alternatively or additionally, an App 60 belonging to the electric bicycle system 1 can be provided with such functions, which are connected, for example, wirelessly to the system intervention component 10. This App can be used, for example, by the end customer.

[0063] The data set 50 for managing wireless connections may contain, for example, at least one of the following editable parameters and may contain only readable information for each connection / component:

[0064] - Identification data, such as Bluetooth device address, etc.

[0065] -Device name / identification

[0066] -Interface parameters

[0067] - Parameters used to activate / deactivate the connection

[0068] -Parameters for changing permissions / access rights

[0069] - Signal quality of wireless connection, such as signal strength, etc.

[0070] - Additional information, such as installation location, number, competent authority, category, etc.

[0071] -Parameters for encryption and authentication, such as identity, keys, certificates, etc.

[0072] -Set parameters

[0073] - Information about the status of the component

[0074] The data set 50 or the data fields of a data set can be expanded depending on the application or requirements.

[0075] The data set 50 is permanently available in the electric bicycle system 1 and can also be partially modified when necessary. The system intervention component 10 of the electric bicycle 2 initially establishes wireless connections based on the information of the data set 50, manages these connections, and can provide data about the connected components or wireless connections. Here, the system intervention component 10 of the electric bicycle 2 can, for example, initially fill the data set 50 with information about the wireless extension components 21, 22, 23 available in the environment and continuously update it. Depending on the availability / receivability, the information includes, for example, identification, name, communication address, status information, signal quality, etc. This is particularly advantageous when the data set 50 needs to be adapted. A special advantage is, for example, to simply activate the wireless connection by changing the corresponding parameters in the data set 50. Another advantage is that it is easy to add or remove other wireless extension components 21, 22, 23 and call status information and change operating parameters. It is also possible to create the data set 50 externally, that is, outside the electric bicycle 2, for example in a diagnostic application 60 or a network application / cloud 200, and then synchronize the data set with the system intervention component 10.

[0076] In this case, the data set can also be part of a larger overall data set of the electric bicycle system 1 .

[0077] The connection can be modified or parameterized by editing the parameters of the data set 50. For example, it is possible to set:

[0078] - searching the data set 50 for connections and / or components including changing the associated data;

[0079] - Change parameters;

[0080] - add data fields or entries for components and / or connections; and / or

[0081] -Removing data fields or entries for components and / or connections.

[0082] The editing of the data set 50 takes place here via the diagnostic application 60. As already mentioned, the diagnostic application can be installed on the PC 100 or the smartphone 101 and connected to the system intervention component 10 of the electric bicycle 2 via USB, i.e. via a cable, and / or via radio, i.e. wirelessly. Any common methods, such as input via a keyboard or other input devices, such as an optical scanner, a touch screen, an input pen, etc., are suitable for editing the data set 50. Parameters can be selected or changed by clicking on the mouse or by selecting on the touch screen. Editing can also be done via a configurator, such as a wizard, or with the help of dialog boxes.

[0083] Editing can be done either directly or based on a copy of the data set 50 in the diagnostic application 60 and then synchronized. Depending on the application or application, the data set 50 can also be used only in a restricted manner, for example, some parameters are editable and other parameters are only readable, i.e. cannot be changed.

[0084] The diagnostic application 60 can read the data set 50 in order, for example:

[0085] showing information about wireless connections;

[0086] Display information about the corresponding component;

[0087] Obtain a local copy of changes to a data set; and / or

[0088] The data sets are stored or synchronized locally or in online storage (eg, a data cloud).

[0089] Figure 2 The steps of a method according to one specific embodiment of the present invention are shown.

[0090] exist Figure 2 In the example, a data set 50 is initially created and partially filled in detail by the system intervention component 10 of the electric bicycle 2 even before the connection is established. The initial partial filling is also carried out by the system intervention component 10. In this case, for example, a radio signal is received from the environment from an activated wireless extension component 21, 22, 23, and the information that can be extracted from the radio signal is stored in the data set 50, such as parameters and status information, such as device name 51, communication address 52, signal parameters 53, etc. This data set 50 is then provided to the diagnostic application 60 for further processing. There, for example, parameters can then be changed or added, in particular parameters for establishing the connection, such as activation parameters, configuration, etc. After processing, the modified data set 50' or the modified parameters are sent back to the system intervention component 10 of the electric bicycle 2. The connection can be established and managed based on the modified data set 50'.

[0091] Alternatively or additionally, the data set 50 can be initially created or compiled in the diagnostic application 60 even before the connection is established. The data set contains various parameters 51, 52, 53 for each wireless extension component 21, 22, 23, which are used to establish the connection and parameterize the wireless extension components 21, 22, 23. Here, the number and type of parameters 51, 52, 53 are variable depending on the requirements. After creation, the data set 50 is sent to the system intervention component 10 of the electric bicycle system 1. The system intervention component then initially establishes the connection with the individual wireless extension components 21, 22, 23 in a star-shaped manner based on the data set 50. A direct connection between the wireless extension components 21, 22, 23 is not provided. Thereafter, the data set 50 is permanently stored in the system intervention component 10, so that these connections can be reestablished at each system startup, and information about these connections and wireless extension components can be provided based on the data set 50.

[0092] The following variant is also conceivable: the data set 50 consists of two parts. In this case, the first part can be created externally by means of the diagnostic application 60 and the second part can be created by the system intervention component 10.

[0093] In addition, an existing data set 50 (that is, a communication connection has been initially established) can be read and subsequently edited by the diagnostic application 60 independently of the creation method. The data set 50 includes not only editable parameters 51, 52, 53, but also readable information data about the wireless extension components 21, 22, 23 to provide information to the user. In this example, the data set 50 is edited with the help of the diagnostic application 60. Specifically, for example, the parameters of the wireless extension component 21 can be modified. After the modified data set 50 or the modified parameters 51, 52, 53 are sent back, the connection with the wireless extension component 21 is adapted. The specific functions of the modified parameters 51, 52, 53 are not discussed in detail here, because these parameters can be any parameters here, such as parameters for communication configuration, parameters for configuring wireless extension components, etc. The information in the data set 50 can be used for the purpose of adapting the parameters 51, 52, 53 or displaying in the diagnostic application 60.

[0094] During editing, further wireless expansion components 22 to be connected can also be added to the data set 50. After the data set 50 has been sent back to the system intervention component 10, a connection can be established with the wireless expansion component 22. The wireless expansion component 22 can also be configured.

[0095] The diagnostic application 60 is not limited to the application on the PC 100 as shown in this example. An App 60 with diagnostic functions on a smartphone 101 or a tablet is also conceivable. The connection between the diagnostic application 60 and the system intervention component 10 of the electric bicycle 2 can also be carried out wired or wirelessly.

[0096] The creation, search and modification of data sets 50 can be carried out with the aid of known methods, such as keyboard entry, touch display, scan entry of optical codes with encoded parameters, selection lists, wizards, etc., which is important in particular with regard to the various requirements of different user groups of the diagnostic application 60, such as process time limits in the production field, end customers with apps, etc.

[0100] In a second step T2 , the operating data are stored in a memory of a data management device according to any one of claims 1 to 7 in the two-wheeled vehicle.

[0101] In a third step T3, a communication connection is established with the wireless two-wheeled vehicle device by means of the data management device based on the stored operating data belonging to the corresponding wireless two-wheeled vehicle device.
