Description

[0001] The invention relates to a method for installing multiple door components.

[0002] For example, in hospitals, several door components are often arranged one after the other or together on a single door. When planning such door component installations, it can happen that some door components are not consistent with others or that the door components are incorrectly installed relative to each other. This poses a risk, for example, with emergency exit doors, that one of the emergency exit doors might not open when it should. Conversely, one of the fire doors might remain open even though all of them should close in the event of a fire. A further safety risk arises if, for example, an access control system does not function as intended.

[0003] The invention is based on the objective of providing a method for installing door components that ensures the door components used are consistently coordinated with one another and / or that is improved from a safety perspective. It is also an objective of the invention to provide a computer program product that enables a safety-enhanced installation method. Furthermore, it is an objective of the invention to provide a computing unit or an access system with a computing unit with which a safety-enhanced installation method can be carried out.

[0004] The problem is solved by a method having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the method are specified in the dependent claims, the description, and the figures. Features and details described in connection with the method according to the invention also apply in connection with a computer program product according to the invention and / or an access system according to the invention and / or a computing unit according to the invention, and vice versa. In particular, a computer program product with which a method according to the invention, especially a method according to any one of claims 1 to 13, can be carried out, and / or a computing unit and / or an access system with which a method according to the invention, especially a method according to any one of claims 1 to 13, can be carried out, are protected. The access system according to the invention may include the computing unit according to the invention.Furthermore, the access system and / or the computing unit can comprise at least one electronic storage medium as a computer-readable medium on which the computer program according to the invention is stored.

[0005] The features mentioned in the description and claims can be essential to the invention, either individually or in combination. The description further characterizes and specifies the invention, particularly in conjunction with the figures.

[0006] A procedure for installing multiple door components is described.

[0007] The method according to the invention comprises at least the following steps: a. Providing at least one pre-configured door system type by an electronic configuration system for selection by a user, wherein the at least one pre-configured door system type can be retrieved from a database by the electronic configuration system, wherein at least one pre-configured door system type can be pre-selected by the configuration system by means of at least one technical and / or functional user specification, wherein the door system type contains several defined door component types, b. Electronic provision of pre-configured technical data of the selected door system type to carry out the on-site installation.

[0008] According to the invention, the configuration system provides door system types. Each door system type comprises several defined door component types. A door component type is defined, in particular, by the function that the door component type has with respect to the door on which the door component corresponding to the door component type is to be installed.

[0009] The function can include changing a door's state. Changing the door's state can correspond to, for example, opening the door, closing the door, unlocking the door, locking the door, preparing a state for manual unlocking and / or locking, or for manual opening and / or closing of the door.

[0010] For example, the door component corresponding to the door component type could be a motorized door operator. The motorized door operator can cause the door to open and / or close automatically. In another example, the door component corresponding to the door component type could be an electrically operated locking element, such as a motorized lock, a motorized cylinder lock, or an electromagnetic door lock. The electrically operated locking element can cause the door to unlock and / or lock. In yet another example, the door component corresponding to the door component type could be an electric door opener.The electric door opener can assume a state in which manual operation of the door unlocks and opens the door simultaneously, while in another state, manual operation of the door, and thus unlocking and opening, is prevented. Further examples of door components that provide a state for manually unlocking a door can be found in electromechanical locking cylinders and / or electromechanical fittings, each of which also corresponds to a specific type of door component.

[0011] The function can include signal generation to change the door state. The door component corresponding to the door component type can, for example, generate a signal that causes another door component, such as the motorized door drive, the locking element, and / or the door opener, to change the door state. Such a door component is called a signal transmitter. For example, the door component corresponding to the door component type can be a sensor that detects a person approaching the door. In another example, the door component corresponding to the door component type can be a push button or a key switch, which a user uses to transmit their opening request to the door system. In yet another example, the door component corresponding to the door component type can be a hazard detector, such as a smoke detector. The signal transmitter can, for example,It can be configured as an emergency exit control system, detecting the activation of an emergency button and generating a signal indicating that the emergency button has been activated. In another example, the door component corresponding to the door component type can be configured as an authentication device. The authentication device verifies the user's authorization to enter through the door. If the user is authorized, the authentication device sends a corresponding signal to another door component, such as a locking element or a door opener, which then grants access.

[0012] Furthermore, the function of the door component type can include properties of the door or be tailored to the door's properties. The door's properties can correspond to its functional characteristics, such as sliding doors, hinged doors, and revolving doors. The door's properties can correspond to its design as a solid panel or tubular frame door. The door's properties can also correspond to its spatial dimensions and / or weight. For example, the power of the door operator can be adapted to the door's weight.

[0013] Furthermore, the function of the door component type can include functional properties of the door component type itself. Examples of functional properties include, for example, "suitable for escape routes," "suitable for fire doors," "self-locking," and "self-closing."

[0014] Door component types are primarily distinguished by the fact that each type represents a different function and / or functional property. For example, a "self-locking anti-panic lock with motor for solid core doors" can constitute its own door component type. In another example, a "self-closing swing door operator for use on standard doors up to 1100 mm wide or 160 kg in weight" can constitute yet another door component type.

[0015] Preferably, door component types differ additionally or alternatively in the type and / or arrangement of the electrical connection to at least one other door component. For example, the door component types can differ in which interface a connection to which other door component is to be made at. Thus, the door component types can differ, for example, in the configuration of connection terminals.

[0016] Additionally or alternatively, door component types differ in the way they are electronically integrated into the door system. For example, door component types can differ in whether a connection to at least one other door component is established via a bus system, and if so, which bus system. In the following, a connection to a bus system is understood to be a direct connection, such that a component connected to the bus system is considered a participant in the bus system with its own bus address.

[0017] In order to differentiate the door component types by the type and / or arrangement of the electrical connection and / or the electronic integration, door component types from different manufacturers and / or different versions of the same manufacturer usually each form their own door component type.

[0018] According to the invention, several door component types are combined to form one door system type.

[0019] For the purposes of this disclosure, a door component type is understood to be a type of door component with at least one, preferably several, of the aforementioned distinguishing criteria, while the door component itself is understood to be the device of the door component type that is actually installed on the door. A door system type comprises several door component types, while the door system itself comprises the door components that are actually to be installed on the door.

[0020] A door system type can be designed for installation on a single door. It is also conceivable that a door system type can be designed for installation on multiple door leaves. For example, the door system type can be intended for installation on a double-leaf door. Additionally or alternatively, the door system type can be intended for installation on several doors, particularly those arranged one behind the other. For example, this can create an airlock. Additionally or alternatively, the door system type can be designed for the installation of multiple doors in a corridor, such as a hotel corridor or an office hallway.

[0021] It is conceivable that a door system type may include the same door component type multiple times, with several instances of the same door component type being installed in different positions. For example, a door system type may include one "self-closing swing door operator for use on standard doors up to 1100 mm wide or 160 kg in weight with a CAN bus connection" for the first leaf of a double-leaf door and another "self-closing swing door operator for use on standard doors up to 1100 mm wide or 160 kg in weight with a CAN bus connection" for the second leaf of a double-leaf door. Additionally or alternatively, the same door component types may be intended for installation on multiple doors, particularly those located one behind the other.

[0022] It is conceivable that the door system includes a primary bus system. This primary bus system could, for example, be a CAN bus. Several door components of the door system may be connected to this primary bus system. The primary bus system is designed as a communication bus and / or serves to transmit messages.

[0023] According to the invention, the door system types are preconfigured. By providing preconfigured door system types with several door component types, it is particularly important to prevent the selection of incompatible door components or components unsuitable for the installation situation and / or the purpose of the door, which together pose a safety risk. Thus, the method according to the invention improves the installation from a safety perspective.

[0024] A key aspect is that pre-configured technical data for the selected door system type is provided to the installer. The installer can then use this pre-configured data to carry out the installation. By providing pre-configured data specific to each door system type, the risk of installation errors and the resulting compromise in the safety of the installed door system is reduced.

[0025] According to the invention, at least one door system type can be preselected by the configuration system via a user specification. This user specification can include at least one technical user specification. A technical user specification can comprise a technical requirement for the door system type to be selected. Examples of a technical requirement are, for example, "with a motorized swing door operator," "with a motorized door operator for a specific door weight class," "with a mortise lock," "with an authentication device," or, more specifically, "with a card reader." Additionally or alternatively, the user specification can include a functional requirement for the door system type to be selected. For example, a functional requirement can include, for instance, "barrier-free," "for a fire door," or "for an emergency exit door."

[0026] According to the invention, only those door system types that correspond to the user's specifications are made available for selection. User specifications thus act as filters from which the user can choose. This ensures the operational safety of the door system. In particular, it reduces the risk to people in emergencies by providing only the appropriate door system types, and therefore indirectly the appropriate data for the door systems, for selection. Additionally or alternatively, security can be ensured by providing only the appropriate door system types, and therefore indirectly the correct data for the door systems, thereby increasing protection against burglary or manipulation.

[0027] Preferably, the database links user settings to the door system types. This ensures that each door system type has at least one possible functional and / or technical user setting permanently assigned to it. The database can correspond to an existing database. The configuration system can include the database. Alternatively, the database can be located outside the electronic configuration system.

[0028] The first database and / or a second database can contain the technical data associated with the door system type. Each door system type is linked to the data associated with that door system type in the first and / or second database.

[0029] Preferably, the defined door component types of a door system are preconfigured. This means that the data for the door component type can already include at least one predefined parameter, such as an opening speed.

[0030] Preferably, a computing unit is provided. The computing unit may include the configuration system. The computing unit may include the first database. The computing unit may include the second database. The computing unit may include at least one electronic memory for storing the first and / or second database. The computing unit may include at least one processor. The computing unit may include a display device to provide the user with the pre-selected door system types for selection. Alternatively, the computing unit may be computer-connected to a display device to provide the user with the pre-selected door system types for selection. The computing unit may include an input device, e.g., a keyboard and / or a touchscreen, and / or be computer-connected to an input device so that the user can make the selection.

[0031] The computing unit can be configured, for example, as a cloud and / or as a cloud and a computing device connected to the cloud, such as a personal computer. The computing unit can be connected to, or connectable to, a mobile device, such as a mobile phone or tablet. In this case, the computing unit and the mobile device can be connected to each other, for example, via a telecommunications connection and / or the internet.

[0032] The access system can include the computing unit and / or the mobile device. The access system can also include the door system to be installed.

[0033] The method according to the invention is preferably a computer-implemented method. In the computer-implemented method, user input is necessary to capture the technical and / or functional user requirements.

[0034] In particular, prior to step a., it may be provided that several door system types are pre-configured by a user by assigning several door component types to each door system type and / or by creating data for the door system type and storing it as assigned to the door system type. At least one technical and / or functional user specification is assigned to the door system type and stored in the database, especially in the first database.

[0035] In other words, the user assigns multiple door component types to a door system type. Furthermore, the user assigns at least one functional and / or technical user requirement to the door system type. This assignment is stored in the first database. The door component types of the door system type are also stored in the first database. The user then creates technical data for the door system type thus created. This technical data is also assigned to the respective door system type and stored in a database, either the first database and / or the second database.

[0036] Thus, the procedure can be based on an electronically stored link between the technical and / or functional user specification and the door system type of the first database and / or an electronically stored link between the data and the door system type of a database, in particular the first or the second database.

[0037] In particular, it may be provided that if the configuration system has not provided a suitable door system type for the user to be selected in step a., a user creating a new door system type is electronically notified of any existing user preference via the configuration system. Additionally or alternatively, it may be provided that the configuration system suggests at least a similar door system type to the user creating the new type, based on the user preference, to assist in its creation. It is advantageous if the configuration system electronically requests the pre-configuration of a new door system type. For example, if the configuration system determines that a specific motor lock, which constitutes its own door component type, is not assigned to any door system type or is not assigned to a suitable one, a new door system type is requested.

[0038] In particular, it may be provided that a digital blueprint is imported into the electronic configuration system. The digital blueprint can be imported into the electronic configuration system, especially before step a. The digital blueprint can be a two-dimensional blueprint or a three-dimensional computer model.

[0039] It is possible that when selecting a door system type for an installation location, the door system to be installed will be marked, in particular with a unique marking.

[0040] It is conceivable that, after the user has selected the door system type in step a., the pre-configured, selected door system type is placed, in particular inserted or linked, at the intended installation location in the digital building plan. Additionally or alternatively, the door system to be installed can be marked with an identifier assigned to the installation location. This identifier can, in particular, be placed, in particular inserted or linked, on the digital building plan.

[0041] In particular, it may be that an assignment of a door system type and / or the marking at an installation location is stored in the building plan and that if the door system type and / or the marking at the installation location is changed, the original assignment is archived.

[0042] It is conceivable that the user can divide the digital building plan into several, particularly visible, security zones within the configuration system. These security zones could, for example, include areas with the same access requirements or hazard protection requirements. The security zones could also be color-coded.

[0043] In particular, it may be possible to reduce the provisioning in step a. to door system types that match the security zone. Alternatively or additionally, the user specification in step a. can include the security zone. It is conceivable that the configuration system will issue a warning if a door system type unsuitable for the security zone is selected.

[0044] It is preferable that, if the user input includes use in an emergency situation, only the at least one door system type that meets a requirement for emergency situations serving to protect human life at the installation site is provided for selection in step a. This also advantageously takes standardized installation requirements into account. Use in an emergency situation can, for example, correspond to use to provide an escape route and / or fire protection.

[0045] It is preferable that, after step a., the selected door system types are assigned to different installation locations. It is conceivable that the configuration system electronically verifies whether the selected door system types are consistent with the installation location and / or with door system types that lie along a walkable route on the building plan.

[0046] For example, if two escape route types are selected for a corridor, but the third escape route type is not an escape door, the inconsistency will be displayed so that it can be corrected early. Similarly, if access control devices are selected for all exterior doors except one, the inconsistency will be displayed so that it can be corrected early. And if, for example, all corridors in a hospital through which beds are moved have door operators, but one door does not, the inconsistency will be displayed so that it can be corrected early. Various routes and / or safety zones can be marked in the configuration system on the digital floor plan for this purpose.

[0047] It is preferable that the same door system type is automatically provided by the configuration system for other doors within a spatial area, e.g., a security area, in step a. In particular, the provisioning method can indicate to the selecting user that the door system type has already been used. It is advantageous for the configuration system to save previously used door system types. Saving them as "used once" can refer, for example, to a digital floor plan, a digital floor plan group, a building, and / or a user. The configuration system specifically suggests previously used door system types as preferred options. This can, for example, create a favorites list. Additionally or alternatively, it can be provided that the previously used door system types are marked.These measures are advantageous in terms of a less error-prone installation.

[0048] It is conceivable that a reduced number of door system types are available for pre-selection by the configuration system for a user or user group. In particular, subgroups of door system types can be configured for individual users, user groups, digital blueprints, digital blueprint groups, and / or buildings. These measures are also advantageous in terms of a less error-prone installation.

[0049] Preferably, the electronic configuration system may include several authorization levels, with each user being assigned an authorization level, and at least two, preferably all, of the following authorization levels are provided: a first authorization level that allows the creation of a new door system type, a second authorization level that allows the selection of a pre-configured door system type and / or the setting of user preferences, a third authorization level that allows the retrieval or viewing of data of the selected door system type.

[0050] It is preferred that users with the second authorization level are prohibited from creating a new door system type. It is preferred that users with the third authorization level are prohibited from selecting a door system type or setting user preferences. It is preferred that users with the third authorization level are prohibited from creating a new door system type.

[0051] Users at the first authorization level are preferably allowed to select a pre-configured door system type and / or set user preferences. Users at the first authorization level are preferably allowed to retrieve the technical data of the selected door system type. Users at the second authorization level are preferably allowed to retrieve the technical data of the selected door system type. "Viewing" can refer to, for example, opening a file on the computer. "Retrieving" can refer to, for example, downloading or requesting a file. Thus, a user at the first authorization level has more rights than a user at the second authorization level. A user at the third authorization level has fewer rights than a user at the first and / or second authorization level.

[0052] It is conceivable that the configuration system only provides for the first and second authorization levels. This is particularly conceivable if the user who selects the door system types also performs the on-site installation. Alternatively, the configuration system could only provide for the second and third authorization levels. This is particularly conceivable if no new door system types are to be created. It is conceivable that the configuration system only provides for the first and third authorization levels. This is particularly conceivable if the selection of door system types frequently involves the creation of a new door system type. In a particularly preferred variant, the configuration system includes the first, second, and third authorization levels.

[0053] The tiered access rights of individual users ensure safety during installation. Creating a new door system type requires exceptional expertise. Selecting the correct door system type for a specific installation location also requires advanced expertise. However, by providing the data for the door system type, it is preferable that exceptional or advanced expertise is not required on-site during installation. Instead, general installation knowledge from other fields is usually sufficient to install the door system. The user with the third level of access rights is specifically the on-site installer.

[0054] Preferably, the multiple door system types pre-configured by a user and stored before step a. were stored by a user with the first authorization level. It is also conceivable that a user creating a new door system type, who is electronically notified of an existing user preference via the configuration system and / or is suggested at least a similar door system type by the configuration system based on that preference, is a user with the first authorization level.

[0055] It is conceivable that the authorization levels are defined within the electronic configuration system. These authorization levels may be linked to a user, specifically to user authentication. For example, a user might need to enter a username and / or password, or authenticate themselves using a biometric feature, to work with the configuration system. In the configuration system, the username, password, and / or biometric feature is linked to the authorization level.

[0056] In particular, it may be provided that, especially at the third authorization level, detailed information can be added to a database, particularly a third database, for the selected door system type or the door system to be installed. For example, the spatial dimensions of the door component to be installed, such as the backset of a mortise lock, can be added to the door system to be installed. In this case, the door system to be installed can be accessed using its identifier, and the detailed information can be added.

[0057] For example, the data for the selected door system type can be transferred from the second database to a third database. In the third database, the data for the selected door system type for a planned installation location is supplemented with data for the specific door system to be installed at that location. It is conceivable that the computing unit could encompass this third database.

[0058] Preferably, the detailed information includes at least a spatial dimension. Preferably, however, the detailed information can be free of the type and / or arrangement of the electrical connection and / or the electronic integration of the door components, the function of the door components, and / or the functional properties of the door components. The type and / or arrangement of the electrical connection and / or the electronic integration of the door components, the function of the door components, and / or the functional properties of the door components are preferably inherent properties of the selected door system type.

[0059] Preferably, the pre-configured technical data provided in step b. may be linked to the door system type and stored in a database, in particular in the second database.

[0060] It is conceivable that the pre-configured data affects several, in particular all, door components of the door system.

[0061] It is possible that the pre-configured data can be downloaded from a database, especially the second database and / or the third database, when a user enters data.

[0062] In order to provide the technical data from step b., input from the user, in particular the installer, may include the door system type or information linked to the door system type, in particular an installation location or the identification of the door system.

[0063] These measures are appropriate for a user with third-level authorization. The database in question is specifically the second database, which contains the technical data and a link to a door system type. Alternatively, it could be the third database, in which the technical data of the door system type is supplemented with further data of the door system to be installed.

[0064] Preferably, the pre-configured data may include a circuit diagram of the door system.

[0065] It is conceivable that the circuit diagram from the configuration system and / or a database can be downloaded or viewed on a mobile device. The database in question could be the second and / or third database. The mobile device could be a mobile phone or a tablet.

[0066] To view or retrieve the circuit diagram, in particular to download it, it may be necessary to enter the installation location on the digital building plan, the door system type and / or the identification of the door system into the mobile device.

[0067] Preferably, the method includes the spatial arrangement of the door components at the intended positions. This is preferably carried out by the installer.

[0068] Preferably, the method includes electrically connecting the door components according to the circuit diagram. This is preferably carried out by the installer.

[0069] Preferably, the data may include an electronic configuration of the door system. The electronic configuration may be in the form of at least one electronic file, in particular a template.

[0070] The electronic configuration may include at least one, preferably several, and most preferably all of the following electronic specifications: Intended door component types of the door system: Transmitter and / or receiver of messages within the door system; at least one functional sequence of the door system in which several processes are to be carried out in a predetermined order; parameters for the operation of the door system; a test sequence for the door system in which at least one function or functional sequence of the door system is tested for commissioning.

[0071] For example, door components of the door system can be interconnected electronically. In particular, door components of the door system can be interconnected via a bus system, especially a first bus system. The first bus system could, for example, be a CAN bus. The electronic configuration can include specifying which type of door component, or which type of door component at which position, sends a message, in particular a command or information (e.g., status information), to which other type of door component, or which type of door component at which position.

[0072] The door system may incorporate a time-coordinated sequence of functions. For example, authentication may be performed first, followed by granting access to the user. A locking element or door opener may be activated after successful authentication. In another example, the door might first be unlocked, and then opened by a motor. Other examples include the motorized opening of a swing door before a fixed door, or the time-coordinated opening of the doors in an airlock. It is conceivable that the electronic configuration includes a computer program or instructions for executing a computer program, which enables control of the functional sequence.

[0073] The electronic configuration can include parameters for the operation of the door system. Specifically, these parameters can include parameters for individual door components. Examples of such parameters include the opening and / or closing speed of a door operator, the hold-open time of the door operator, the unlocking time of a locking element, and the monitoring time before an alarm is triggered.

[0074] It is preferably provided that the electronic configuration includes a test sequence for the door system or instructions for executing the test sequence. During installation, at least one functional sequence is tested. Thus, the method according to the invention can include carrying out the test sequence.

[0075] The door system can include a control unit as a door component. The control unit is interconnected with other door components via information technology. This allows the control unit and the other door components to exchange messages. The control unit is also interconnected with the processing unit. The control unit can be connected to the first bus system. The control unit can also be connected to a second bus system. This second bus system is typically an IP-enabled bus, such as LON, LAN, or Ethernet. The processing unit and the control unit are interconnected via this second bus system.

[0076] The control unit can include a transmitter and receiver for wireless short-range communication, in particular Bluetooth Low Energy, with the mobile device.

[0077] In particular, the electronic configuration can be loaded into the door system, especially the control unit, via an information technology connection, e.g. a bus system, especially the second bus system, or via the mobile device.

[0078] Preferably, the electronic configuration of the door system may be stored in the control unit.

[0079] It is conceivable that the door system comprises at least one door component, preferably several door components, wherein the at least one door component belongs to at least one door component group, preferably to several of the following door component groups: motorized door drive, locking element, signal transmitter for opening, stopping, closing, locking or unlocking a door, in particular a sensor, an authentication device or a hazard detector, detection unit for receiving an access attribute

[0080] The motorized door drive can be, in particular, a sliding door drive, a swing door drive, and / or a revolving door drive. The locking element can be, in particular, a component that allows a door to be electrically locked and / or unlocked. Examples include, for instance, a drive lock, a motorized lock, and an electromagnetic door lock.

[0081] The door system may include a device to allow manual unlocking of the door. For example, the door system may include a door opener, an electromechanical locking cylinder, or an electromechanical fitting.

[0082] The door system can include a signal transmitter, in particular a sensor, an authentication device, an escape route control system, or a hazard detector. Preferably, the signal transmitter generates a message, in particular a bus telegram, as a signal. Preferably, the signal transmitter is connected to a bus system, in particular the first bus system.

[0083] The door system can be configured to receive an access attribute from an authorized user. For this purpose, the door system can include a detection unit. The detection unit can be configured as a transmitter and receiver, a biometric sensor, a keypad for PIN entry, and / or a contact element for electrically contacting a key, particularly an electronic one. The access attribute can be a credential or a biometric characteristic of the user. The credential can, for example, include an access code and / or a time window for access authorization. The door system can also include, for example, a reader with a transmitter and receiver for wirelessly receiving an access attribute, particularly a credential.The transmitting and receiving unit can be configured to communicate with a mobile device, in particular a mobile phone or a card, via short-range communication, in particular RFID, NFC or Bluetooth Low Energy.

[0084] It is preferably provided that door components from the group of door drives, locking elements and signal transmitters are interconnected via information technology, preferably via a bus system, particularly preferably via the first bus system.

[0085] Preferably, door components from the group of detection units are interconnected via information technology, preferably a bus system. The door system may include a further bus system. This further bus system, e.g., an RS485 bus, can serve to connect at least one detection unit to the control unit and / or multiple detection units to each other. Alternatively, a serial interface, e.g., RS232, can be used to connect a door component, in particular a detection unit, to the control unit.

[0086] It is possible for several functions to be implemented in the same door component. For example, an electromechanical fitting may include a coupling element that, when engaged, allows the door to be manually unlocked. At the same time, the electromechanical fitting may include a detection unit, in particular a transmitter and receiver for wirelessly receiving credentials. Furthermore, the electromechanical fitting may include a processor and memory that evaluate the credentials and determine access. Thus, the electromechanical fitting acts as an authentication device.

[0087] It is possible that several door components are connected to the first bus system. For example, at least one door drive and at least one locking element may be connected to the first bus system. Additionally, the control unit may be connected to the first bus system.

[0088] In particular, the door system can include an escape route safety device with an emergency button and a door lock.

[0089] It is preferable if the access system, preferably the door system, and particularly preferably the control unit, has knowledge of the door components actually installed in the door system and compares this knowledge with the intended door component types of the door system type in the electronic configuration. In the event of a discrepancy between the installed door components and the intended door component types, the electronically predefined procedure for proceeding with the installation is stored. In this context, the control unit can at least have knowledge of the door components installed in the door system that are connected to the control unit via information technology, in particular via a bus system.

[0090] In particular, the system electronically detects when a higher-quality component is installed than intended. In such a case, the installation process can continue.

[0091] The installation procedure can be continued additionally or alternatively if tolerable deviations from the access system, particularly the control unit, are detected. Tolerable deviations could, for example, be spatial dimensions.

[0092] In particular, it may be provided that the predefinition of how the installation procedure is to be carried out corresponds to one of the following options, depending on the type of deviation: The door system is electronically prevented from starting operation, the door system is started with a limited range of door components, the door system is started as intended.

[0093] In particular, the user will be automatically notified of any deviations. It is conceivable that the user will be offered the predefined next step. Alternatively, the predefined next step will be carried out automatically.

[0094] It is particularly preferred that any deviation of the installed door components from the intended door component types of the selected door system type always, or at least predominantly, leads to the termination of the installation procedure with the selected door system type and / or the electronic configuration used. Such termination is particularly intended if the deviation involves the type and / or arrangement of the electrical connection and / or the electronic integration of the door components, the function of the door components, and / or the functional properties of the door components.

[0095] Preferably, it can be provided that, in the event of a defined deviation, the commencement of operation of the door system is electronically prevented. Such a prevention occurs in particular if the type and / or arrangement of the electrical connection and / or the electronic integration of the door components, the function of the door components and / or the functional properties of the door components do not correspond to the intended door component types.

[0096] It is conceivable that the installed door components are installed as part of the alternative door system type with the electronic configuration of an alternative door system type.

[0097] If the defined deviation is present, the use of an alternative door system type that corresponds to the door component types actually installed is checked in the configuration system.

[0098] In particular, it may be possible to suggest the alternative door system type for selection by the user, especially a user of the first or second authorization level, before the installation with the electronic configuration of the alternative door system type is carried out. This allows the user to see and correct any inconsistencies.

[0099] It is preferable if the control unit is aware of the actual door component types installed in the door system, by allowing the door components to register with the control unit and specify their door component type. This registration may occur via the first bus system.

[0100] In particular, it may be provided that the door system includes an adapter, wherein the adapter is configured to enable a door component that is not capable of communicating independently with the other door components to communicate with the other door components, in particular wherein the adapter is connected to the bus system.

[0101] It is preferable if the access system, particularly the computing unit, stores a identifier for the installed door component along with at least one other characteristic of the component, especially the door component type. This identifier can be stored, for example, before step a. The identifier can be stored in a database, particularly the third database. The identifier can be stored, for example, during the manufacturing of the door component. The additional characteristic can, for example, include information about the production location and / or production time. The identifier can be a one-time identifier. The identifier can be a one-time identifier stored in the third database.

[0102] It is conceivable that, at the end of the installation, the identification of installed door components is linked to an identification of the door system and / or the installation location and stored in the processing unit. In particular, the identification can be stored in the processing unit, and a production location and date can also be stored as additional attributes. This allows for tracking which door component was installed where. The linking is performed at least for those door components that are connected to the control unit via information technology, especially a bus system. Preferably, the linking is performed for all door components of the door system.

[0103] In a further aspect of the invention, a computer program product for carrying out the method is presented. The advantages mentioned above with reference to the corresponding embodiment of the method are associated with the computer program product. In particular, the appropriately designed computer program product can be used to carry out the method. The computer program can include commands for carrying out the method according to the invention. The computer program product can include the configuration system. The computer program product can be stored in an executable form on the processing unit. Another computer program product for carrying out a preferred method can be stored in an executable form in the door system, in particular in the control unit. The computer program product stored on the control unit can include commands for carrying out an advantageous method, in particular a method according to one of claims 10 to 12.

[0104] In a further aspect of the invention, an access system for carrying out the method is provided. The advantages mentioned above with regard to the corresponding embodiment of the method are associated with this access system. In particular, the appropriately designed access system can be used to carry out the method.

[0105] Further details and advantages of the invention will be explained below with reference to the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures. Technical features with the same function are designated with identical reference numerals in the figures. Herein: Fig. 1 a first embodiment of a computing unit and an access system according to the invention, Fig. 2 a second embodiment of a computing unit and an access system according to the invention, Fig. 3 a basic flow diagram of the method according to the invention.

[0106] In the Figure 1 and 2 Figure 10 shows a first and a second embodiment of an access system 100 according to the invention. The access system 100 according to the invention comprises a computing unit 10 according to the invention. The computing unit 10 comprises a computing device 11, which is configured as a personal computer. The computing device 11 comprises a display device 12, which is configured as a screen. The computing device 11 comprises an input device 13, which is configured as a keyboard. Alternatively, and not shown, the computing device can be configured, for example, as a tablet. The input device 13 can be configured as a touch-sensitive screen.

[0107] The computing unit 10 also includes at least one electronic storage device. This could, for example, be a cloud storage device. The storage device contains a first database 20, a second database 21, and a third database 22. Alternatively, and not shown, the first and second databases 20, 21 can be configured as a single database. Likewise, the second and third databases 21, 22 can be configured as a single database. In another alternative, the first and third databases 20, 22 can be configured as a single database. In yet another database configuration, the first through third databases 20, 21, 22 are integrated into a single database.

[0108] The configuration system is stored electronically in an electronic memory of the computing unit 10. The configuration system is designed as a computer program. The configuration system comprises databases 20, 21, and 22.

[0109] At the beginning of the installation method according to the invention, the remaining parts are in the Figure 1 and 2 The devices shown are not yet installed. Rather, they are in the Figure 1 and 2 The access system 100 according to the invention is shown at a possible end of the installation method 200 according to the invention.

[0110] In the Figure 1 and 2 Different door systems 60 and 61 are shown. The door systems are part of the access system 100. Door systems 60 and 61 each include a control unit 30 as a first door component. Door systems 60 and 61 each include a first bus system 32.

[0111] Door systems 60 and 61 include additional door components. The first door system 60 in Figure 1 This includes, for example, a motorized door drive 35, a motorized lock 33, an emergency exit control 51 with an emergency button, an electromagnetic door lock 52, and a hazard detector, in particular a smoke detector 53, as further door components. The door components 35, 33, 51, 52, 53 have different functions and functional properties. Thus, the door components 33, 35, 51, 52, 53 belong to different door component types 40, 41, 44, 45, 46.

[0112] The second door system 61 in Figure 2The second door system 61 comprises several motorized door drives 35, 36 as door components. The motorized door drives 35, 36 are identical and therefore belong to the same door component type 41. The door drives 35, 36 are designed to be arranged on each leaf of a double-leaf door. Furthermore, the second door system 61 comprises several sensors 37, 38 as door components. The sensors 37, 38 serve to detect a person approaching the door leaves. The motorized door drives 35, 36 can then open the door leaves in a predefined sequence. Additionally or alternatively, the signals from the sensors 37, 38 are used to stop the door by means of the door drives 35, 36 to prevent injury to the person. The sensors 37, 38 are identical and therefore belong to the same door component type 42.

[0113] Furthermore, a program switch 39 is provided as a door component. Using the program switch 39, a user can determine whether the sensors 37, 38 trigger a motorized door opening upon detecting a person. The second door system 61 comprises a motor lock 34 for one active leaf of the double-leaf door and a motor lock 33 for one inactive leaf of the double-leaf door. The program switch 39 and the motor locks 33, 34 are each assigned to their own door component types 40, 43, 47. Another door component of the second door system 61 is designed as a reader 31. An access decision is made by the control unit 30. Thus, the control unit 30 also serves as an authentication device.

[0114] The door components 33, 35, 51, 52, 53 of the first door system 60 are connected to a first bus system 32. Some door components 33, 34, 35, 36 of the second door system 61 are connected to the first bus system 32. Other door components 37, 38, 39 of the second door system 61 are only indirectly connected to the control unit 30 via a door drive 35, 36. The reader 31 is connected to the control unit 30 via a third bus system 55. The control unit 30 includes a transmitter and receiver unit for wireless short-range communication with a mobile device 50. The mobile device 50 can be connected to the processing unit 10 via information technology, e.g., via a telecommunications network or the internet.

[0115] In another type of door system not shown, several readers 31 can be provided on the third bus system 55. The sensors 37, 38 or the program switch 39 can also be connected to the first bus system 32.

[0116] Because the first door system comprises 60 and the second door system 61 different door components, the first door system 60 and the second door system 61 correspond to different door system types 70, 71.

[0117] According to the invention, the first database contains 20 different door system types 70, 71. The door system types 70, 71 are preconfigured according to the invention. This means that the door components 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 51, 52, 53, which are to be installed when selecting door system type 70, 71, are fixed.

[0118] The first database 20 contains technical and / or functional user specifications that are linked to the individual door system types 70, 71. This link is implemented in the Figure 1 and 2Designated with reference numeral 80. Possible user settings are displayed to the user on the display device 12. The user can select user settings that must be met for the door to be equipped with door system 60, 61. The configuration system only displays those door system types 70, 71 that correspond to the user settings. Thus, the configuration system preselects the door system types 70, 71. From the preselected door system types, the user can select one door system type 70, 71. The selection may also mean that only one possible door system type 70, 71 is made available for selection. The selection is confirmed by the user.

[0119] Subsequently, the computing unit 10 provides a user, in particular an installer, with technical data 81, 82 in the form of a circuit diagram 81 and an electronic configuration 82. The technical data 81, 82 are linked to the door system type 70, 71. In the Figure 1 The technical data 81, 82 are stored in a second database 21. In Figure 2 The circuit diagram 81 is stored in the first database 20 and the electronic configuration 82 in the second database 21. The installation is carried out on site using the technical data 81, 82.

[0120] By using fixed and pre-configured door system types 70, 71, to which fixed user specifications and fixed technical data 81, 82 are assigned, the security of the access system 100 according to the invention is very high. This prevents the installation of door components 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 51, 52, 53 that do not meet the security requirements and / or the incorrect installation of the door components 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 51, 52, 53.

[0121] The configuration program is only accessible to a user after authentication, e.g., after entering a username and password. Each user in the configuration program is assigned an authorization level. Only users with the first authorization level are permitted to configure new door system types 70 and 71, link these new door system types to user preferences, and create the technical data. Only users with the first and second authorization levels are permitted to set user preferences and select a predefined door system type. Users with the third authorization level, corresponding to the installer performing the on-site installation, are only permitted to download the technical data for a previously selected door system type. Typically, only a very small number of users will be at the first authorization level, as this level requires a very high level of expertise.This ensures the security of the access system.

[0122] A door system 60, 61 is preferably characterized in that each door system 60, 61 comprises a common electronic configuration. The configuration 82 is designed as at least one electronic file and can be stored on the control unit 30. Preferably, exactly one configuration is provided for each door system type 70, 71.

[0123] A door system 60, 61 preferably comprises a common control unit 30. The control unit serves to connect to the computing unit 10.

[0124] Depending on the door system type 70, 71, a door system 60, 61 can be designed for installation on one or more doors. In another embodiment not shown, a door system serves, for example, for installation on two doors arranged one behind the other or on a hotel corridor with, for example, four room doors.

[0125] An access system 100 may comprise several door systems 60, 61. The door systems 60, 61 may belong to the same or different door system types 70, 71. The door systems 60, 61 are preferably interconnected and / or connected to the computing unit 10 via the second bus system 25.

[0126] In Figure 3 A method 200 according to the invention is shown. In a first step 201, a user of the second authorization level authenticates themselves with the configuration system. In a second step 202, the authenticated user uploads a digital building plan to the configuration system. The digital building plan is stored in the third database 22. The third database 22 serves to store at least data from a building section or a building.

[0127] In a third step 203, the authenticated user defines at least one safety zone on the digital building plan via the input device 13, whereby the safety zone is stored in the configuration system, in particular in the third database 22. In a fourth step 204, the authenticated user selects a door on the building plan, in particular a door in the safety zone, using the input device 13 and makes technical and / or functional user specifications for the selected door via the input device 13. For this purpose, the configuration system provides user input options on the display device 12. In a first example, the user specifications include the terms "emergency exit door" and "single-leaf". In a second example, the user specifications include the terms "double-leaf", "with motorized lock", and "with swing door operator".

[0128] In a fifth step (205), the configuration system selects suitable door system types 70 and 71 based on the user specifications and makes them available to the user for selection. In the first example, door system type 70 is selected. Figure 1 Available for selection, but not door system type 71. Figure 2 In the second example, door system type 71 is used. Figure 2 Available for selection, but not door system type 70. Figure 1 Step 205 corresponds to step a..

[0129] If, as a user requirement in step 204, an "escape route door" or a "fire door" is required, then in step 205 only at least one door system type 70, 71 will be provided for selection, which fulfills a requirement for the emergency situation that serves to protect human life at the installation site.

[0130] Can the user choose between the pre-selected door system type 70 or 71, or between any of the pre-selected door system types, which in Figure 3 If a door system type is represented by a "+", the procedure continues with the next step 206. However, if the user cannot decide on a pre-selected door system type 70 or 71, or if no door system type 70 or 71 exists in the first database 21 that corresponds to the user's specifications, which occurs in Figure 3 If a hyphen ("-") is used, then in step 212 the user of the second authorization level can request the creation of a new door system type 70, 71. The configuration system then informs the user of the first authorization level of the user preferences. If the new door system type 70, 71 is created by the user of the first authorization level and the user of the second authorization level can then choose to use it, procedure 200 continues with step 206.

[0131] In step 206, the selected door system type 70, 71 is assigned to the door on the digital building plan, specifically linked to it. Furthermore, a label for door system 60, 61 is generated by the configuration system, e.g., "Door system 325". The selected door system type, its placement on the digital building plan, and the label for door system 60, 61 are stored electronically in the configuration system in the third database 22. This building information is used in the Figure 1 and 2 represented by reference numeral 83. Optionally, the technical data 81, 82 for the door system 60, 61 to be installed are stored in the third database 22.

[0132] Optionally, the authenticated user can now select another door on the digital floor plan, and steps 204 to 206 will be repeated for that door. This is in Figure 3The line is shown as a dashed line. The already selected door system type, either door system type 70 or 71, is displayed to the user as the preferred option. This applies particularly to doors within the same security zone. Optionally, for the selected door system types 70 and 71, the configuration system checks whether the door system types are consistent with the installation location or with each other. For this purpose, a route can be specified on the building plan, for example. If a door system type 70 or 71 on the route deviates from the other door system types 70 and 71 on the route, the configuration system sends a request to the user.

[0133] On the construction site, an installer authenticates himself as a user of the third authorization level in the configuration system in step 207. In step 208, the installer downloads a circuit diagram 81 for the door system 60, 61 to be installed from the third database 22 as technical data. This corresponds to step b.

[0134] For this purpose, the installer carries a mobile device 50 with him (see below). Figure 1 and 2 In the first option, the installer enters the door system identifier 60, 61 into the mobile device 50. In the second alternative, the installer enters the installation location into the mobile device 50. The digital building plan 81 is displayed on the mobile device for this purpose. In the third alternative, the installer enters the door system type 70, 71 to be installed into the mobile device 50. In each of the alternatives, the configuration system now knows the door system type 70, 71.

[0135] The wiring diagram 81 for door system type 70, 71 is then loaded from the first, second, or third database 20, 21, 22 of the configuration system onto the mobile device 50. The installer can then use the wiring diagram 81 to carry out the installation.

[0136] In the next step 209, an electronic configuration of the door system type 70, 71 defined in step 208 is loaded into the installed control unit 30 from the second or third database 21, 22 of the configuration system. This also corresponds to step b. Here, either the mobile device 50 can connect the control unit 30 to the processing unit 10, or the control unit 30 can be connected to the processing unit 10 via a second bus system 25. By entering a command on the mobile device 50, the installer can initiate the download of the electronic configuration 82 into the control unit 30.

[0137] The electronic configuration 82 includes a list of door component types 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49 and the number of door components of each type to be installed. In step 210, the control unit 30 automatically receives information via the first bus system 32 about the door component types 40, 41, 44, 45, 46, 47 of the other door components 33, 34, 35, 36, 51, 52, 53 connected to the first bus system 32. For this purpose, the door components 33, 34, 35, 36, 51, 52, 53 send a message to the control unit 30 as bus participants. The door components 35, 36 participating in the first bus system 32 report the door component types 42, 43 of the further door components 37, 38, 39 to the control unit 30. For this purpose, the door components 35, 36 have previously checked whether the door components 37, 38, 39 are connected.In another alternative, the control unit 30 sends a request to the mobile device 50 so that the installer can confirm the presence of the door components 37, 38, 39 by entering information on the mobile device 50, or perform an action that allows the door components 35, 36 to determine the presence of the door components 37, 38, 39.

[0138] The control unit 30 also receives information about the connected reader(s) 31 via the third bus system 55. The control unit 30 compares the installed door component types 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 38, 49 with the list.

[0139] In an alternative to step 210, the electronic configuration 82 includes only a list of the door component types 40, 41, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49 and the number of door components to be installed of the door component types intended to participate in the first and / or the third bus system 32, 55. The control unit 30 automatically receives information via the first bus system 32 about the door component types 40, 41, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48 of the other door components 33, 34, 35, 36, 51, 52, 53 connected to the first bus system 32. For this purpose, the door components 33, 34, 35, 36, 51, 52, 53 send a message to the control unit 30 as bus participants. The control unit 30 also receives information via the third bus system 55 about the connected reader(s) 31. No message is sent from the door components 35, 36 to the control unit 30 regarding the other door components 37, 38, 39.Only the door component types of the door components 33, 34, 35, 36, 51, 52, 53 participating in the first and / or third bus system 32, 55 are detected by the control unit 30 and compared with the list.

[0140] If the comparison of the list with the door component types of the actually installed door components shows that the correct door component types are present, which is in Figure 3 If a "+" is indicated, the installation procedure continues with step 211. However, if the comparison reveals that the installed door component types do not match the configuration, which is indicated in Figure 3If a hyphen ("-") is displayed, the installation process continues in step 213. In step 213, the control unit 30 informs the user with third authorization level on the mobile device 50 that the installed door component types are not compatible with the door system type 70, 71. This interrupts the on-site installation, and the control unit 30 does not continue with the installation process.

[0141] Simultaneously, the user with second authorization level receives a message stating that the door component types for door systems 60 and 61 with the assigned identifier do not match door system type 70 or 71. Optionally, the configuration system provides the user with second authorization level with a suggestion for a suitable door system type 70 or 71. This corresponds to step a. or 205, as the user's pre-selection settings still apply. The user must now select an alternative door system type 70 or 71. Subsequently, the installer receives a message that data 81 and 82 for the alternative door system type 70 or 71 are now available for download. Steps 208, 209, and 210 can then be repeated.

[0142] If the comparison of the list with the door component types of the actually installed door components shows that the correct door component types are present, then in step 211 a unique identifier is stored in the third database 22 as belonging to the door system 60, 61, or at least to the installed door components 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 51, 52, 53 that are connected to the first and / or third bus system 32, 55. Thus, the identifiers of the door components can be assigned to the identifier of the door system 60, 61 or to the installation location on the digital building plan.

[0143] It can be provided that the unique identifier for door components 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 51, 52, 53 is already stored in the processing unit 10 before installation. This unique identifier can be linked to other characteristics of the door component, such as the production location and date. This ensures that the processing unit always knows which door component is installed at which installation location.

[0144] Is each door component type 40, 41, 44, 45, 46 present only once in the door system 60, as in the embodiment of the Figure 1The door components 33, 35, 51, 52, and 53, which are connected to the first bus system 32, report both the door component type 40, 41, 44, 45, and 46, as well as the unique identifier, to the control unit 30. The control unit 30 then automatically sends the door component types and their associated unique identifiers to the processing unit 10 via the mobile device 50 or via the second bus system 25. Furthermore, the control unit 30 sends its own unique identifier to the processing unit 10. The assignments are stored in the third database 22 in the processing unit 10.

[0145] Are door component types 40, 41, 44, 45, 46 present multiple times in the door system 60, as in the embodiment of the Figure 2The assignment is carried out by input on the mobile device 50. For this purpose, the unique identifiers of the multiple door components 35, 36 are displayed. In addition, the door component types 41 and their intended positions are shown on the device 50. For example, the two unique identifiers "348.413" and "359.127" and the terms "motorized door drive active leaf" and "motorized door drive inactive leaf" are displayed. The installer can select an identifier. The corresponding door component 35, 36 then emits a visual and / or audible signal. Based on the visual and / or audible signal, the installer can identify the position of the selected door component 35, 36, in this example, whether it is the selected door drive 35, 36 for the active leaf or the inactive leaf.By entering information on the mobile device 50, the installer can make the assignment, e.g. assigning the identifier "348.413" to the "motorized door drive active leaf".

[0146] Contrary to the described embodiment, it may be provided that not every deviation of the actually installed door components from the installation necessitates the selection of an alternative door system type 70, 71 for the installation location. Rather, particularly in the case of mechanically differing or higher-quality door components, it is conceivable that step 211 nevertheless follows step 210.

[0147] Contrary to the described embodiment, the installer may be permitted to store additional information in the third database 22. This information may relate, for example, to the spatial dimensions of the door components used.
