Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing system for a vehicle, in particular a multi-purpose vehicle, the system comprising at least one terminal device, at least one electronic air handling device and at least one server device, wherein the electronic air handling device comprises at least one storage device for storing at least one device information indicating at least one operating condition and / or at least one identification of the electronic air handling device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of vehicles, especially multi-purpose vehicles, pneumatic systems are often used for brakes, suspensions and other auxiliary systems, wherein the distribution of air is handled by an electronic air handling device having an air dryer unit and a multi-circuit protection valve, capable of distributing air provided by a compressor, etc., and capable of handling different opening and closing pressures, pressure limitations of each circuit, and circuit protection.

[0003] Before the compressed air is controlled in this way, an important measure is to dry the air provided by the compressor (because it still contains atmospheric humidity). This drying process is completed by an air dryer unit arranged between the compressor and the multi-circuit protection valve, so that dry and oil-free air is provided to the multi-circuit protection valve. It is particularly important that the electronic air handling device should always be matched with a suitable air dryer unit (i.e. a removable and easily installed wearing part), so that the use of counterfeit or otherwise unsuitable dryer units can be effectively avoided.

[0004] Such electronic air handling devices and associated air dryer units or cartridges are known in the prior art.

[0005] EP3549836A1 relates to a method for controlling an air handling system of a vehicle. The method comprises the following steps: determining a temperature associated with the purge valve by means of a temperature measuring device; and if the temperature is below a predetermined temperature value, performing regeneration after a compressor start event to remove moisture associated with the purge valve.

[0006] EP3576994A1 discloses an interface element for a vehicle, comprising electronic components having at least one connection to at least one data interface of the vehicle, the connection being suitable and arranged for exchanging measurement data and / or control and / or regulation data for regulating the electronic components, the electronic components also comprising at least one integrated measurement and / or control and / or regulation unit.

[0007] WO2019238465A1 discloses a system comprising an air dryer unit and an electronic counter of an air treatment device for a vehicle, wherein the air treatment device and / or the air dryer unit has an electronic storage module, the electronic storage module has a storage space, and wherein counter information can be stored in the storage space, based on which the usage status of the air dryer unit can be read, and the operating cycle of the air dryer unit can be detected by the electronic counter, based on which a counting signal can be generated, and the counting signal can be transmitted to the electronic storage module for storage as counting information.

[0008] According to the prior art, it is still difficult for a vehicle user to confirm whether a correct or original air dryer cartridge is installed in the air handling device, or to obtain more information about the current operating status of the air handling device. Summary of the invention

[0009] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned information processing system, in particular, the system is simplified in structure and function, enhanced in security, and improves user usability, making it more intuitive and simpler.

[0010] According to the invention, this object is solved by an information processing system having the features of claim 1. Accordingly, an information processing system for a vehicle, in particular a multi-purpose vehicle, comprises: at least one terminal device; at least one electronic air handling device for providing processed compressed air to at least one pneumatic system of the vehicle, wherein the electronic air handling device comprises at least one storage device for storing at least one item of device information indicating at least one operating condition and / or at least one identification of the electronic air handling device; and at least one internal and / or external server device, wherein the terminal device is configured to be able to retrieve the device information from the storage device, and wherein, if the device information is transmitted to the server device via the terminal device, the server device and / or the terminal device is configured to be able to check the device information by comparing the device information with at least one corresponding device information of the electronic air handling device initially stored in the server device and / or the terminal device.

[0011] The invention is based on the basic idea that an information processing system is provided, which is equipped with an internal and / or external server device, which is configured to be able to check the device information by comparing it with at least one corresponding device information of the electronic air treatment device originally stored in the server device. Alternatively or additionally, the terminal device is also configured to be able to check the device information by comparing it with at least one corresponding device information of the electronic air treatment device originally stored in the terminal device. In other words, the invention provides the possibility for the traceability of the use of the correct cartridge on the vehicle, the digital feedback on potential improper cartridge use, and the application / service life cycle of the cartridge. In this regard, corresponding device information indicating at least one operating condition and / or at least one identification of the electronic air treatment device is stored in the server device and / or the terminal device, so that the current device information of the air treatment device can be continuously checked according to the wishes of the vehicle user. The device information corresponds to data in the form of some specific information of the electronic air treatment device, such as a serial number, a characteristic date (such as a production date) and / or service life data (current number of regeneration cycles and regeneration cycle threshold). The air handling device is configured to capture its regeneration cycle number (through appropriate pressure, humidity and temperature sensors), merge these service life information / data with the device information, and store them on the storage device. Therefore, these continuously updated and saved device information can then be acquired by the terminal device and transmitted to the server device. In the server device, the device information is compared with at least one corresponding device information of the electronic air handling device originally stored in the server device, so that the check can be performed in real time and as long as the user wants to perform such a check. Internal server devices can provide very short, fast and efficient transmission paths, while external server devices may be more cost-effective, for example. Internal server devices can be understood as follows: the server device can be used internally by users, maintenance personnel and / or manufacturers of at least one electronic air handling device, and / or, the server device can be located in their respective facilities as the user's and / or manufacturer's own assets. External server devices can be understood as follows: the server device can be used externally by users, maintenance personnel and / or manufacturers of at least one electronic air handling device (but unauthorized external access by third parties is prohibited), and / or, the server device is located externally relative to the facilities of users, maintenance personnel and / or manufacturers. For example, the external server device may be provided by an external supplier and rented by a user, maintenance personnel and / or manufacturer of at least one electronic air handling device. As mentioned above, this inspection can also or alternatively be performed only locally at the terminal device. In this regard, a very simple and cost-effective method for inspecting an electronic air handling device is provided, which improves user-friendliness, enables better monitoring, and improves the operational safety of the air handling device, thereby improving the safety of the entire vehicle.The vehicle is designed as a multi-purpose vehicle. The storage device may be designed as a memory suitable for non-volatile or volatile storage device information. The storage device may be designed as an optical code (such as a barcode or a QR code), a non-volatile read-only storage device or its subtypes, such as an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), and an erasable and reprogrammable flash memory. Alternatively or additionally, the storage device may also include a volatile random access storage device, such as a static random access memory (SRAM) or a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) storage device.

[0012] In this case, the terminal device may include or be formed by at least one mobile terminal device, or may include or be formed by at least one stationary or fixed terminal device. This mobile configuration enables a user of the terminal device to use it very conveniently and quickly. The mobile terminal device may be formed by a tablet, a smartphone or any other suitable terminal for acquiring device information. The advantage of a stationary or fixed terminal device may be that it can be integrated into the maintenance workshop infrastructure of a vehicle, in particular a multi-purpose vehicle, so that the device can be used reliably and quickly.

[0013] Furthermore, the server device may comprise or may be formed by at least one cloud computing platform, a client server, a dedicated server, a shared server, a host server, an external server, an internal server, a software server, a hardware server, an application server, a database server, a file server, a mail server, a print server, a proxy server, a backend server and / or a terminal server and / or in particular any other server. A cloud computing platform or one or more servers in any other form described above (e.g., internal and / or external server devices) alone or in combination may have a variety of advantages, in particular in terms of flexible use cases, cost-effective solutions, and device-, time-, and location-independent access to geographically distributed IT resources of a cloud computing platform or other form of server devices.

[0014] Accordingly, it can be provided that the electronic air handling device comprises at least one first air handling unit and at least one second air handling unit, in particular at least one air dryer cartridge, the second air handling unit being detachably mounted to the first air handling unit, wherein the storage device comprises at least one first storage unit attached to the first air handling unit for storing at least one first unit information indicating at least one operating condition and / or at least one identification of the first air handling unit, and the storage device further comprises at least one second storage unit attached to the second air handling unit for storing at least one second unit information indicating at least one operating condition and / or at least one identification of the second air handling unit. According to this configuration of the electronic air handling device, the second air handling unit is formed by at least one air dryer cartridge. The first air handling unit may comprise basic equipment known in the art, such as a multi-circuit protection valve, an electronic control unit ECU, corresponding electrical and pneumatic connections, a pneumatic operating circuit of a multi-purpose vehicle, a trailer control module and a parking brake module, etc. This configuration enables comprehensive and detailed acquisition of the operation and identification of the first air handling unit and the second air handling unit. In particular, the provision of two independent memory units enables storage of different unit-specific related information (eg humidity information may only be stored in the second memory unit), thereby allowing a more accurate data basis for the entire electronic air handling device to be derived.

[0015] It is also conceivable that the terminal device is configured to be able to obtain the first unit information and the second unit information, and is also configured to be able to merge the first unit information and the second unit information into device information. Merging the first unit information and the second unit information into device information defines a very effective way of integrating these two separately obtained information, which can reduce the data size and thus increase the data or information transmission rate. In this regard, it is very important that the user is always able to verify the operating status of the electronic air handling device, especially the operating status related to the air dryer unit, because this unit is a consumable part and should be replaced within the maintenance cycle recommended by the manufacturer. For example, a blocked air dryer unit may cause serious safety problems in the electronic air handling device, which in turn may lead to improper or complete interruption of the air supply to the vehicle, making important air-consuming components of the vehicle (such as brakes) unable to operate normally.

[0016] Furthermore, additionally or alternatively, the terminal device may be configured to transmit the first unit information and the second unit information to a server device, and the server device may be configured to merge the first unit information and the second unit information into device information. In the case of alternatively transmitting the first and second unit information separately (without merging through the terminal device), internal power resources of the mobile device may be saved, thereby increasing the processing speed of the first and second unit information. In the case of additionally transmitting the separate first and second unit information (together with the merged information), redundant data transmission may be provided, thereby increasing the security of data storage.

[0017] In addition, it is conceivable that the server device is configured to generate at least one feedback information in response to the comparison of the device information with the corresponding device information, and is also configured to transmit the feedback information to the terminal device. With respect to the comparison of the device information obtained and provided by the terminal device with the corresponding device information (e.g., initially stored in the server device during or after the device production process), the data contained in the device information (e.g., serial number, characteristic date such as production date, service life data or information with an initial value such as zero, and / or control number) can be effectively compared. This comparison can be performed partially (e.g., by comparing only two serial numbers) or in full (by comparing the entire device information separately) based on the available data in the device information. The result of this comparison, i.e., the feedback information, further includes pairing data or information about the pairing status of the first air treatment unit and the second air treatment unit (e.g., pairing success or pairing failure). In other words, the cloud computing platform is configured to be able to verify whether the pairing of the first air treatment unit and the second air treatment unit is valid (status: success) or invalid (status: failure) based on the device information.

[0018] Furthermore, it is conceivable that the terminal device is configured to generate at least one feedback information in response to the comparison of the device information with the corresponding device information. In this case, the information only needs to be stored and processed locally on the terminal device (through the application), which has advantages in terms of the response time of querying the feedback information. For example, the terminal device is configured to be able to directly display to the user (through its display) whether the pairing of the first air treatment unit and the second air treatment unit is valid (status: success) or invalid (status: failure).

[0019] Further, it is conceivable that the terminal device is configured to be able to transmit the feedback information to the first storage unit and / or the second storage unit. Such transmission further enhances the safety options of the electronic air treatment device, because depending on the pairing state and / or data of the first air treatment unit and the second air treatment unit, the ECU of the electronic air treatment device can generate a positive feedback or negative feedback signal and store it partially or completely in the storage unit. The feedback signal can then be used for further processing of one or more control units of the vehicle connected to the ECU of the electronic air treatment device. In addition, since the stored feedback signal can be obtained by an external electronic maintenance device, the maintenance of the vehicle is also simplified.

[0020] In addition, it is conceivable that the terminal device is configured to transmit the feedback information to at least one communication interface of the vehicle. Compared with transmitting the feedback information to the first storage unit and / or the second storage unit, this transmission method enables fast, direct and wireless communication with the vehicle, thereby providing an enhanced communication path, and the feedback information can be quickly, directly and reliably processed by the vehicle.

[0021] In particular, the first air handling unit and / or the second air handling unit can be connected to at least one data bus system of the vehicle via at least one wireless and / or wired connection and is also configured to be able to transmit feedback information to the data bus system. Data bus systems are widely used and built in the vehicle environment, so that feedback information can be transmitted to this vehicle infrastructure using a very safe and reliable data interface installed in the vehicle in any way. In this way, the positive or negative feedback signal generated by the ECU of the electronic air handling device can be transmitted very effectively to the corresponding system of the vehicle. Due to the wireless and / or wired connection, a very flexible and adaptable data infrastructure can be established.

[0022] Furthermore, it is conceivable that the feedback information can be transmitted via the data bus system to at least one display device arranged at at least one dashboard of the vehicle. This measure further increases the overall safety of the vehicle, since the user or driver can stop the vehicle immediately if the electronic air treatment device is equipped with an incorrect, improperly installed or counterfeit air drying unit.

[0023] It is also conceivable that the terminal device and / or the electronic air handling device and / or the server device and / or the communication interface can be connected to each other via at least one wired and / or wireless connection. Such a wireless connection at least partially enables a location-independent use of the information processing system, increasing the freedom in setting up and using the system. In particular for server devices in the form of cloud computing platforms, a very flexible, inexpensive and efficient system can be achieved. A wired connection enables a very reliable and secure connection interface.

[0024] Furthermore, the wireless connection may include at least one NFC connection and / or a Bluetooth connection and / or a WiFi connection and / or an RFID connection. These types of connections provide flexible and need-based connection options between different parts of the system, thereby enabling a very reliable, flexible and efficient system.

[0037] The storage device 106 also has a second storage unit 116 attached to the second air handling unit 112 for storing second unit information indicating one or more operating conditions and identifications of the second air handling unit 112 .

[0038] Additionally, the system 100 includes an internal or external server device 108 .

[0039] Additionally or alternatively, the system 100 may include internal and external server devices 108 .

[0040] The server device 108 is constructed as a cloud computing platform 108 .

[0041] The cloud computing platform 108 may be constructed as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

[0042] Additionally or alternatively, the cloud computing platform 108 may be constructed as platform as a service (PaaS) and / or software as a service (SaaS) and / or function as a service (FaaS).

[0043] Other forms of server devices 108 are also contemplated, such as client servers, dedicated servers, shared servers, host servers, external servers, internal servers, software servers, hardware servers, application servers, database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, proxy servers, back-end servers and / or terminal servers, etc. Additionally or alternatively, any other type of server or servers is also contemplated.

[0044] Terminal device 102 and electronic air treatment device 104 may be connected to each other via wireless connection 118 .

[0045] This wireless connection 118 may be established via a radio connection.

[0046] In this regard, the wireless connection 118 between the terminal device 102 and the electronic air treatment device 104 may be established as an NFC connection, a Bluetooth connection, or a WiFi connection for transmitting device information.

[0047] Accordingly, both the terminal device 102 and the electronic air handling device 104 may include a wireless interface suitable for NFC connection, Bluetooth connection or WiFi connection ( Figure 1 not shown).

[0048] In addition, the first air processing unit 110 and the second air processing unit 112 may also communicate with each other via a wireless interface.

[0049] Alternatively, the terminal device 102 may also include an optical interface, such as an optical camera, for acquiring device information from the electronic air handling device 104 .

[0050] In this case, the first storage unit 114 and / or the second storage unit 116 may be formed as a non-volatile optical code element such as a barcode or a two-dimensional code.

[0051] It is also conceivable that, for example, the first storage unit 114 is an electronic storage unit, such as a ROM or RAM storage element, and the second storage unit 116 is the above-mentioned non-volatile optical code element, or vice versa.

[0052] The terminal device 102 and the cloud computing platform 108 may also be connected to each other via a wireless connection 118 .

[0053] In this regard, the wireless connection 118 between the terminal device 102 and the cloud computing platform 108 may be established as a WiFi connection or another suitable Internet-based connection (eg, LTE) for transmitting device information.

[0054] Accordingly, both the terminal device 102 and the cloud computing platform 108 may include a suitable wireless WiFi interface or other interfaces for interconnection.

[0055] according to Figure 1 The functions of the information processing system 100 are as follows:

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the terminal device 102 is configured to obtain device information from the storage device 106 and transmit the device information to the cloud computing platform 108 .

[0057] Based on the settings of the storage device 106 (see above), the terminal device 102 is configured to be able to obtain device information from the electronic air handling device 104 via an NFC connection, a Bluetooth connection or a WiFi connection and a corresponding interface for transmitting device information.

[0058] Alternatively, the terminal device 102 is also configured to be able to obtain the device information optically through an optical interface (such as an optical camera).

[0059] After receiving the device information, the cloud computing platform 108 is configured to be able to check the device information by comparing the device information with corresponding device information of the electronic air handling device 104 originally stored in the cloud computing platform 108 (originally stored in the cloud computing platform, for example, during or after the production process of the device).

[0060] Additionally or alternatively, after obtaining the device information, the terminal device 102 is configured to be able to check the device information by comparing the device information with at least one corresponding device information of the electronic air treatment device 104 originally stored in the terminal device 102 (initially stored in the terminal device, for example, during or after the production process of the air treatment device 104).

[0061] The device information corresponds to data in the form of some specific information of the electronic air handling device 104, such as serial number, characteristic date (such as production date), manufacturer, manufacturing location, service life data (such as number of regeneration cycles and maximum number of regeneration cycles) and / or control number (depending on other data).

[0062] The electronic air handling device 104 is configured to capture its regeneration cycle count (via appropriate pressure, humidity, and temperature sensors), merge this service life information / data with the device information, and store it on the memory device 106 .

[0063] from Figure 1 As can be seen in FIG. 1 , the electronic air treatment device 104 includes a first air treatment unit 110 and a second air treatment unit 112 , which have a first storage unit 114 and a second storage unit 116 , respectively.

[0064] In this way, first unit information of the first air handling unit 110, such as a serial number, a characteristic date (such as a production date), service life data (such as a threshold value for the current number of regeneration cycles and the maximum number of regeneration cycles) or information with an initial value of zero, and / or a control number (depending on other data), can be stored in the first storage unit 114 and can be updated accordingly (in the case of a suitable first storage unit 114), for example by changing the service life data.

[0065] Accordingly, the second unit information of the second air processing unit 112 includes corresponding unit information similar to the above-mentioned first unit information.

[0066] Therefore, the terminal device 102 is configured to be able to obtain the first unit information and the second unit information, and is also configured to be able to merge the first unit information and the second unit information into device information before transmitting the first unit information and the second unit information to the cloud computing platform 108.

[0067] Additionally or alternatively, the terminal device 102 is also configured to be able to transmit the first unit information and the second unit information to the cloud computing platform 108, and then the cloud computing platform 108 is configured to be able to merge the first unit information and the second unit information into device information and process the device information as described below.

[0068] In this regard, the cloud computing platform 108 is configured to generate feedback information in response to the comparison of the device information with the corresponding device information.

[0069] After comparing the information, the cloud computing platform 108 is further configured to transmit the feedback information to the terminal device 102 , where the information can be output to the user.

[0070] Additionally or alternatively, the terminal device 102 is configured to be able to generate at least one feedback information locally in response to a local comparison of the device information with the corresponding device information that has been locally stored on the terminal device 102 .

[0071] The result of such comparison, ie, feedback information, also includes pairing data or information about the pairing status of the first air treatment unit 110 and the second air treatment unit 112 (eg, pairing success or pairing failure).

[0072] Therefore, the cloud computing platform 108 is also configured to be able to verify whether the pairing of the first air processing unit 110 and the second air processing unit 112 is valid (status: success) or invalid (status: failure) based on the device information.

[0073] Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing a second embodiment of an information processing system 200 according to the present invention is shown.

[0074] The second embodiment of the information processing system 200 basically includes the Figure 1 The information processing system 100 has the same structural and functional features as the first embodiment.

[0075] However, the following structural differences should be discussed:

[0076] In addition, the terminal device 202 is further connected to a suitable NFC, WiFi or Bluetooth communication interface of the vehicle V via an NFC, Bluetooth or WiFi connection.

[0077] The functions of the information processing system 200 are as follows:

[0078] Via the additional communication interface, the terminal device 102 is configured to be able to transmit the feedback information to the communication interface of the vehicle V so that one or more control units of the vehicle V can process the feedback information.

[0079] The processing may be such that the pairing status of the first air handling unit 110 and the second air handling unit 112 or further information as described above may be stored in an error memory of the vehicle V, which can be accessed during a maintenance process of the vehicle V and / or its pneumatic system.

[0080] Figure 3 A schematic diagram showing a third embodiment of an information processing system 300 according to the present invention is shown.

[0081] The third embodiment of the information processing system 300 basically includes the Figure 2 The information processing system 200 has the same structural and functional features as the second embodiment.

[0082] However, the following structural differences should be discussed:

[0083] In addition or as an alternative to the connection of the terminal 202 to the communication interface of the vehicle V (see Figure 2 In the second embodiment), the terminal device 302 is also connected to the electronic air handling device 304 via NFC, Bluetooth or WiFi connection and a suitable interface.

[0084] Figure 3 304 is additionally shown to describe such an additional wireless connection to the electronic air treatment device 304 , but this does not mean that the information handling system 300 actually includes two electronic air treatment devices 304 .

[0085] According to the normal setting of the third embodiment, only one electronic air treatment device 304 is provided (a second electronic air treatment device is shown only to show the additional wireless connection between the terminal device 302 and the electronic air treatment device 304, but two electronic air treatment devices 304 can also be provided in case of high air consumption).

[0086] Furthermore, the first air processing unit 310 and / or the second air processing unit 312 can be connected to a data bus system of the vehicle V.

[0087] The functions of the information processing system 300 are as follows:

[0088] Specifically compared with the second embodiment, the terminal device 302 is configured to be able to transmit the feedback information to the first storage unit 314 and / or the second storage unit 316 .

[0089] In addition, the first air processing unit 310 and / or the second air processing unit 312 are also configured to be able to transmit feedback information to the data bus system.

[0090] That is, via the data bus system, the feedback information can be transmitted to at least one display device arranged on at least one dashboard of the vehicle, in which the pairing status of the first air treatment unit 314 and the second air treatment unit 316 is displayed to the vehicle V ( Figure 3 The driver is not shown in the figure.
