[0002] The present invention relates to a method for testing an access device. Furthermore, the invention relates to a mobile terminal and a server system. Furthermore, the invention relates to a system comprising a mobile terminal and a server system, as well as a computer program product.

[0003] Access control devices are used in or on buildings or premises to control or restrict access to specific areas and rooms, and to separate individual areas and rooms from the rest of the building or premises. Modern access solutions often include a wide range of functions that require electrical control, such as automatic door devices, security functions, alarm functions, and locking functions. Electrical control units or control devices are therefore often used to control access control devices. In practice, the installation of access control devices and control units is based on plans, with the designated device types being arranged and installed at the designated locations in the building. The commissioning of newly installed access control devices and their functional configuration, particularly with the help of suitable software, is typically cumbersome, time-consuming, and costly.

[0004] During commissioning and throughout the life cycle of an access device, tests can be carried out in which, on the one hand, malfunctions or signs of wear can be identified and, on the other hand, the configuration, in particular the computer-implemented operating parameters, of the access device can be checked, adjusted and adjusted.

[0005] Due to the constant increase in the number of functions and configuration options available for access control devices, such tests play an important role. Against this background, the task arises of providing an advantageous method for testing an access control device that preferably enables efficient detection of errors and problems with the access control device and / or advantageous configuration and configuration of the access control device.

[0006] The object is achieved by a method for testing an access device using a mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal is set up to communicate with a server system via a direct or indirect communication connection, the method comprising the following steps: a) carrying out a test drive through the access device, b) measuring the test drive using a measuring device of the mobile terminal, wherein measurement data relating to the test drive are generated, c) transmitting at least part of the measurement data generated in step b) from the mobile terminal to the server system, d) receiving the measurement data transmitted in step c) by the server system, e) carrying out an analysis on the basis of the measurement data received in step d) by the server system.

[0007] According to the invention, an advantageous test of an access device can be carried out using a mobile device. The test can be performed by both qualified personnel and untrained users or operators of the access device, who can use a mobile device with a measuring device for this purpose. A particular advantage of the present invention is the low latency with which test results can be obtained and, if necessary, countermeasures can be initiated. Furthermore, an advantageous computer-implemented evaluation and analysis of measurement data is possible using a server system.

[0008] The mobile terminal can be, for example, a mobile phone, in particular a smartphone, a portable computer device, such as a tablet computer, or a wearable, such as a smartwatch. Such mobile terminals typically have measuring devices, such as cameras or microphones, so that the method according to the invention can be carried out in a particularly cost-effective and user-friendly manner. In particular, the mobile terminal has an application (app) which it configures to carry out the steps of a method according to an embodiment of the present invention carried out by the mobile terminal. Via the app of the mobile terminal, instructions for carrying out the method according to the invention and / or results of the analysis in step e) can also be displayed or output acoustically to a user of the mobile terminal.

[0009] According to the invention, the access device can be tested using step e). The analysis in step e) is preferably intended to identify technical problems, malfunctions, or signs of wear and tear in the access device.

[0010] It is conceivable that the analysis in step e) is carried out using known reference data, models, machine learning, and / or trained artificial intelligence systems configured to detect errors, malfunctions, and / or signs of wear and tear of the access control device in the measurement data. This advantageously allows for automated and computer-implemented data analysis for testing the access control device.

[0011] It is conceivable that the test run relates to one or more access components of the access device. The access components of the access device can also be understood as subsystems of the access device. The test run is preferably a test run of a separation element and / or door element of the access device. The test run preferably comprises an opening run and / or closing run or at least a partial area of ​​an opening run and / or closing run of the separation element and / or door element. It is conceivable that the test run is started using the mobile device, for example via an application (app) on the mobile device. For this purpose, the mobile device transmits a start signal to the access device, in particular using a wireless or wired communication interface.Alternatively, it is conceivable that the test run in step a) is initiated by a user input on an input device of the access device, for example, by pressing a push button. It is conceivable that one or more test objects, such as one or more wooden blocks, are taken into account during the test run. In particular, it is conceivable that the test object(s) are placed between a door element and a door frame, so that an emergency stop of the access device is checked and / or tested during a closing run.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is conceivable that the test drive in step a) is a learning drive and / or adjustment drive that is carried out to configure and / or adjust operating parameters of the access device, preferably during installation and / or initial commissioning of the access device. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the test drive in step a) is carried out on an already installed access device, in particular after its commissioning, in order to test functions of the access device, identify errors, determine signs of wear and / or change the configuration of operating parameters of the access device. For example, it is conceivable that the test drive in step a) is carried out at least one month or one year after installation and / or commissioning of the access device.With the aid of the present invention, an advantageous test can thus be carried out during commissioning of the access device and / or over the life cycle of the access device.

[0013] The method according to the invention is, in particular, a computer-implemented method in which one, several, or all steps of the method are executed in a computer-implemented manner. The communication connection between the mobile terminal and the server system is preferably established using a telecommunications network, in particular a mobile radio network.

[0014] Advantageous further developments and embodiments of the present invention can be found in the dependent claims.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention,

[0016] ■ that in step c) current configuration information concerning one or more operating parameters of the access device set during the test drive in step a) is transmitted to the server system, preferably from the mobile terminal or the access device; or

[0017] ■ that current configuration information relating to one or more operating parameters of the access device set when performing the test drive in step a) is stored in the server system or can be retrieved by the server system, in particular as part of a digital representation of the access device; preferably wherein the analysis in step e) is carried out with the aid of the current configuration information. It is thus particularly advantageous to include the current configuration and / or the current operating parameters that the access device has when performing the test drive in step a) in the analysis in step e). On the one hand, it is conceivable that the current configuration information is stored in a digital representation, in particular a digital twin, of the access device and is thus known to the server system.In this case, the current configuration information does not need to be transmitted separately to the server system. On the other hand, it is conceivable that the current configuration information is unknown to the server system. In this case, it is preferable for the current configuration information to be transmitted from the mobile device or the access device to the server system. It is particularly conceivable for the current configuration information to be read from the access device using a storage medium, such as a USB stick, and then transmitted to the server system. This is particularly advantageous for access devices that do not have their own connection to a telecommunications network and / or a cloud.

[0018] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that the generation of the measurement data in step b) comprises that measurement data relating to the test drive are recorded using the measuring device, wherein preferably a processing of the recorded measurement data is carried out using the mobile terminal before the measurement data are transmitted to the server system in step c), wherein particularly preferably the processing of the recorded measurement data using the mobile terminal before transmission in step c) comprises one, several or all of the following processing steps:

[0019] ■ filtering of the recorded measurement data!

[0020] ■ an object recognition relating to the access device in the recorded, in particular optical, measurement data, whereby the recorded measurement data are limited to pixel areas that have been identified as relevant based on the object recognition! and / or

[0021] ■ a reduction in the data volume of the recorded measurement data, preferably:

[0022] ■■■ by reducing the resolution or quality of the recorded measurement data,

[0023] ■■■ by changing a file format of the recorded measurement data, ■■■ by converting the recorded, particularly optical, measurement data into black / white measurement data and / or grayscale,

[0024] ■■■ by removing measurement data recorded before the start of the test drive and / or after the end of the test drive, and / or

[0025] ■■■ by limiting the recorded measurement data to a temporal portion of the test drive. It is thus advantageously conceivable that the data volume of the measurement data transmitted in step c) is reduced by processing the recorded measurement data before transmission. It is thus conceivable that the processing of the recorded measurement data using the mobile device includes pre-processing and / or pre-analysis of the recorded measurement data in order to reduce the data volume to be transmitted in step c), so that, in particular, the data overhead in step c) can be reduced. By reducing the data volume to be transmitted in step c), bandwidth, costs, and energy can be saved.

[0026] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is conceivable that the access device comprises one, several or all of the following access components:

[0027] ■ a door element and / or a separation element,

[0028] ■ a hinge,

[0029] ■ a fire protection element,

[0030] ■ a lock, especially an electric lock,

[0038] ■ a display device,

[0039] ■ a light source,

[0040] ■ an acoustic output device,

[0041] ■ a warning and / or safety device. Using a method according to one embodiment of the present invention, an advantageous test of the access components of an access device is possible. According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is conceivable for the access device to have a control device for a separating element of the access device and / or for a door element of the access device, wherein the control device for controlling the separating element and / or the door element is designed such that the test run in step a) is carried out. The control device can be understood as part of the access device or as a separate element that is connected to the access device and / or the access components of the access device.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, performing the analysis in step e) on the basis of the measurement data received in step d) comprises one, several or all of the following operations:

[0043] ■ a test of the functions of the access device;

[0044] ■ an investigation of errors, in particular faults, in the access device;

[0045] ■ Determining signs of wear on the access device. This allows for a particularly advantageous inspection of the access device to detect faults in the access device and / or as part of predictive maintenance. It is conceivable that, depending on the analysis in step e), a maintenance interval or maintenance time for the access device may be selected and / or adjusted.For example, it is conceivable that, depending on the identification of a wear sign of the access device in step e), the next maintenance time of the access device is adjusted or that active countermeasures are taken, for example, replacing an access component of the access device affected by the wear sign and / or adjusting the operating parameters of the access device such that the access component affected by the wear sign is protected in future operation. As part of the analysis in step e), the following can be determined, for example:

[0046] ■ whether a door element or separation element of the access device is jerking, ■ whether a door element or separation element is scraping on uneven ground, and / or

[0047] ■ whether the approach during opening and / or closing is rough, so that mechanical components of the access device are subjected to unnecessary stress.

[0048] Depending on the analysis, countermeasures can be initiated to eliminate the identified error or problem, for example, hinges can be adjusted, the control of the drive unit of the separating element or door element can be adjusted, or problems regarding the fit of the door frame can be rectified.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that initial configuration information is transmitted from the server system to the mobile terminal and / or to the access device in a procedure prior to step a), wherein the initial configuration information relates to a setting of one or more operating parameters of the access device, wherein a setting of the one or more operating parameters of the access device is carried out depending on the initial configuration information in the procedure. This allows an advantageous adjustment of the access device or of access components of the access device to be carried out. The access device can be preconfigured and / or preadjusted in the procedure based on the initial configuration information.In the test then conducted using the test drive and the subsequent steps, the quality of the preconfiguration and / or preadjustment can be verified. Thus, errors or problems in the preconfiguration and / or preadjustment performed in accordance with the regulations based on the initial configuration information can be identified using steps a) to e). It is conceivable that the initial configuration information is uploaded to the access device, for example, to a control device of the access device, so that the configuration of the access device is automatically implemented and / or modified.

[0050] Alternatively, it is conceivable that the initial configuration information comprises instructions, in particular graphic and / or acoustic instructions, which are reproduced using the mobile terminal and instruct an installer, a user, and / or an operator of the access device to make changes to the access device or its operating parameters or to adjust the access device or its operating parameters.

[0051] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is conceivable that the determination of errors in the access device in step e) comprises comparing the measured data with one or more threshold values. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is conceivable that the determination of errors in the access device in step e) comprises determining an actual deviation between one or more measured values ​​and a norm. In particular, it is considered whether the actual deviation between the one or more measured values ​​lies within a target deviation around the norm, wherein the target deviation corresponds to the norm + / - a tolerance. The norm can also be understood as a norm value and the tolerance as a tolerance value, so that the target deviation = norm value + / - tolerance value. It is conceivable that an error is identified if the actual deviation is above the target deviation.Other comparisons between one or more measured values ​​and one or more threshold values ​​are also conceivable according to alternative embodiments for determining errors in the access control device. The standard, the tolerance, and / or the one or more threshold values ​​are preferably stored in the server system or can be retrieved by the server system.

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that configuration information for the access device is generated by the server system as a function of the analysis carried out in step e), wherein preferably the configuration information is generated as a function of

[0053] ■ a detected error, in particular a detected fault, of the access device, and / or

[0054] ■ a detected wear and tear of the access device, wherein the configuration information is transmitted from the server system to the mobile device and / or to the access device.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the configuration information relates to a change in one or more operating parameters of the access device, wherein, depending on the configuration information, a change in one or more operating parameters of the access device is carried out in a step 5). It is conceivable that the configuration information is uploaded to the access device, for example, to a control device of the access device, so that a configuration of the access device is carried out and / or changed automatically.Alternatively, it is conceivable that the configuration information includes instructions, in particular graphic and / or acoustic instructions, that are reproduced using the mobile device and instruct an installer, a user, and / or an operator of the access device to make changes to the access device or its operating parameters. The operating parameters of the access device are thus preferably adjusted in step f) according to the configuration information.

[0056] According to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, it is possible for the configuration information to be configured to change one or more operating parameters of the access device in such a way that an access component of the access device, for which a wear phenomenon or a fault was identified in step e), is protected or subjected to less stress when the access device is operated with the changed operating parameter(s). Thus, an advantageous, in particular automated, adjustment of the operating parameters of the access device can be carried out based on the analysis in step e) in such a way that the susceptibility to faults of the access device can be reduced and the service life of the access device can be increased. In particular, malfunctions and failures can thus be prevented particularly efficiently.According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that - after the change of the one or more operating parameters of the access device in step 5) - steps a) to e) or a) to f) are repeated, in particular wherein during this repetition the test run of the access device in step a) is carried out with the one or more changed operating parameters of the access device. This allows an iterative optimization of the operating parameters of the access device to take place. It is particularly conceivable that steps a) to 5) are repeated several times until the analysis in step e) shows that a desired and / or selectable target function has been achieved. Such iterative optimization can take place during installation and / or initial commissioning of the access device.Alternatively or additionally, such iterative optimization can also be performed during operation of the access control system, for example, at least one month or at least one year after commissioning of the access control system. It is conceivable that steps a) to f) are performed with a specified number of repetitions or until the analysis in step e) shows that a quality criterion, in particular a selectable one, is met or a problem or error in the access control system has been eliminated.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that the initial configuration information and / or the configuration information are dependent on one or more user profiles of the access device, wherein the one or more user profiles are selected and / or configured in particular depending on the application of the access device, wherein the one or more user profiles are preferably selectable and / or adjustable by a user or operator of the access device. This allows the operating parameters of the access device to be optimized for the specific application and the local conditions at the installation location of the access device. The one or more user profiles are preferably user profile data stored on the server system or at least retrievable by the server system.It is conceivable that the one or more user profiles can be set and / or selected by a user or operator of the access device using an interface of the server system, for example using an API (Application Programming Interface), and / or using an application (app) that can be installed on the mobile device and / or another device. The one or more user profiles can be assigned to a digital representation of the access device, whereby the digital representation of the access device is preferably stored on the server system or can be retrieved by the server system. A user or operator of the access device can thus individually configure the user profile or user profiles that are assigned to the access device in the server system.In particular, it is conceivable that the user or operator can select from a number of preconfigured user profiles for the access device and / or rank several preconfigured user profiles. In this context, it is conceivable that the user profiles can be understood as optimization levels with respect to different optimization parameters. In this regard, a multitude of different user profiles are conceivable, which can be individually adapted to the application conditions of the access device.

[0058] The following profiles are examples of possible user profiles^

[0059] ■ Optimization of the energy efficiency of the access device,

[0060] ■ Optimization of the energy efficiency of a building or room that can be entered using the access device,

[0061] ■ Optimization of the security of the access device,

[0062] ■ Optimization of the service life of the access device, and / or

[0063] ■ Optimization with regard to the speed of the access device and / or user comfort when using the access device and / or the maximum throughput of people through the access device. It is conceivable that the operating parameters of the access device are selected depending on the one or more usage profiles selected and / or set for the access device. For example, the selection of a usage profile that relates to optimization with regard to the energy efficiency of a building or room accessible using the access device can include a particularly fast closing movement of a door element or separating element of the access device in order to reduce the total opening time per opening and closing movement, so that less heat can escape from the building or room.

[0064] For example, the selection of a usage profile that optimizes the service life of the access device may include performing an opening and / or closing movement of a door element or separating element of the access device in such a way that the hinges and / or motor of the access device are protected. In this case, the opening and / or closing movement is performed particularly slowly.

[0065] For example, the selection of a usage profile relating to an optimization of the speed of the access device and / or the user comfort when using the access device and / or the maximum throughput of people through the access device may comprise that both an opening movement and a closing movement of the access device are carried out at an increased speed such that the maximum throughput of people per defined time interval is maximized.

[0066] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that the server system has a digital representation of the access device, wherein the initial configuration information and / or the configuration information is or will be stored as part of the digital representation.

[0067] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that the measuring device comprises an optical measuring device, in particular a camera, and / or an acoustic measuring device, in particular a microphone,

[0068] ■ wherein the measuring in step a) is carried out using the optical measuring device, so that the measurement data generated comprise optical measurement data, and / or

[0069] ■ wherein the measurement in step a) is performed using the acoustic measuring device, so that the generated measurement data includes acoustic measurement data. The analysis in step e) is thus performed on the basis of optical measurement data and / or acoustic measurement data. The optical measurement device can, for example, be a camera of the mobile device. The acoustic measurement device can, for example, be a microphone of the mobile device. It is conceivable that the acoustic measurement data relate to the audible and / or inaudible frequency range. Both acoustic measurement data and optical measurement data can contain useful information about errors, problems, and signs of wear in an access device.Acoustic measurement data can be used to detect, for example, a squeaking hinge, a noise from a drive unit, or unwanted mechanical grinding, scratching, or scraping between the floor and the access control device during the test run. This can be used to determine, for example, that a drive unit needs oiling or that a movable door element or separation element of the access control device needs to be readjusted. Optical measurement data can be used to detect, for example, unwanted changes in speed during the test run or problems with starting or braking at the beginning or end of an opening or closing movement.

[0070] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that the measurement data generated in step a) comprise both optical measurement data and acoustic measurement data, in particular wherein the optical measurement data and acoustic measurement data are recorded simultaneously in step a), wherein the access device outputs an acoustic calibration signal and / or an optical calibration signal during the test drive in step a), wherein the optical and acoustic measurement data are coordinated with one another on the basis of the acoustic calibration signal and / or the optical calibration signal, preferably in step b) and / or step e). It is preferred that the access device outputs both an optical calibration signal and an acoustic calibration signal, particularly preferably simultaneously. Thus, a particularly advantageous and comprehensive test can be carried out.For this purpose, it is particularly advantageous to temporally correlate the recorded acoustic and optical measurement data, using the acoustic and optical calibration signals to determine which acoustic and optical measurement data represent the same point in time during the test drive. By identifying the acoustic calibration signal in the acoustic measurement data and the optical calibration signal in the optical measurement data, a temporal correlation between the optical and acoustic measurement data can be established. The acoustic and / or optical calibration signal can, for example, be output at a specified point in time during the test drive and / or at a specified position of the access device during the test drive in step a).The acoustic calibration signal is preferably in the inaudible range so that it does not disturb or confuse a user of the mobile device. Alternatively, however, it is conceivable for the acoustic calibration signal to be an audible signal. It is conceivable for the acoustic calibration signal to be emitted by a loudspeaker of the access device. Alternatively, it is conceivable for the acoustic calibration signal to be an acoustic signal from an access component of the access device that has a main function other than emitting acoustic signals. For example, the acoustic calibration signal can be emitted by a drive unit of the access device and can comprise, for example, an intentionally induced motor whir. It is conceivable for the optical calibration signal to be emitted by means of an illuminant, for example a lamp, of the access device.The optical calibration signal can, for example, be a flashing or illuminating light. It is conceivable, for example, that the light is part of the drive unit of the access device. It is conceivable that the optical calibration signal lies in the visible or non-visible frequency range. For example, the optical calibration signal can lie in the infrared range. According to an alternative embodiment, it is conceivable that only an acoustic calibration signal is emitted by the access device during the test run. The acoustic calibration signal can, for example, be emitted at a specified opening angle of a door element or separation element of the access device during the test run.The aperture angle can be identified in the optical measurement data, so that an advantageous temporal coordination between the optical and acoustic measurement data is possible using the acoustic calibration signal.

[0071] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that prior to the test drive in step a), one or more marking elements are arranged on the access device, wherein a recognition of a position of the access device in the measurement data, in particular the optical measurement data, takes place with the aid of the marking element or the multiple marking elements, preferably when carrying out the analysis in step e) and / or when processing the recorded measurement data in step b). With the aid of such a marking element, the movement of the access device during the test drive can be determined particularly advantageously. The marking element can further assist in the computer-implemented recognition of the access device and / or its outlines in the measurement data during object recognition carried out on the basis of the optical measurement data.The marking element can, for example, comprise a reflector, which is used in the recorded optical measurement data as a reference point for determining the movement and / or position of the access device during the test drive. Instructions for the arrangement of the marking element on the access device and / or information on an attachment position of the marking element on the access device can be communicated to a user via the mobile device, for example via a visual and / or acoustic output using an application (app) on the mobile device. For example, it is conceivable that a user is instructed by an application on the mobile device to arrange a marking element on the access device, for example on a door frame or a movable door element.Since the dimensions of the marking element are known, length dimensions, width dimensions, distances and / or movements of the access device can be determined particularly advantageously in the optical measurement data using the marking element, in particular in step b) and / or step e).

[0072] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that a sensor device, in particular a radar sensor device, is present, wherein with the aid of the sensor device, during the test drive in step a), further measurement data relating to a position and / or a speed of the access device are determined during the test drive, wherein the further measurement data are transmitted to the server system, wherein the analysis in step e) is additionally carried out with the aid of the further measurement data. The sensor device is preferably part of the access device. As a result, a position, in particular an opening angle, a speed and / or an acceleration of a door element or a separating element of the access device can be determined particularly precisely during the test drive. The measurement data obtained in this way enable a particularly precise and comprehensive analysis in step e).The sensor device, in particular the radar sensor device, can be part of the access device, part of the mobile terminal, or a device separate from the access device and the mobile terminal.

[0073] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that the access device has an electrical sensor device, wherein electrical measurement data relating to an electrical voltage and / or an electrical current of a motor of the access device and / or a control device of the access device are determined with the aid of the electrical sensor device during the test drive in step a), wherein the electrical measurement data are transmitted to the server system, wherein the analysis in step e) is additionally carried out with the aid of the electrical measurement data. The electrical measurement data are to be understood in particular as measurement data relating to an electrical voltage and / or an electrical current of a motor of the access device and / or a control device of the access device.In such data, undesired mechanical friction between the access device and the floor or locking phenomena of hinges or the motor can be particularly advantageously identified as unexpected fluctuations or spikes in the voltage and / or current. In particular, the electrical measurement data are determined in addition to the acoustic and / or optical measurement data and represent a supplement to the acoustic and / or optical measurement data in the analysis in step e). It is conceivable for the mobile terminal to connect to the access device and / or the electrical sensor device via a communication interface of the mobile terminal, wherein the electrical measurement data is transmitted from the access device and / or the electrical sensor device to the mobile terminal.The mobile device then transmits at least some of the electrical measurement data to the server system so that the electrical measurement data are available to the server system for the analysis in step e). Alternatively, it is conceivable for the electrical measurement data to be transmitted from the access device and / or the electrical sensor device directly to the server system using a corresponding communication interface. According to one embodiment, it is conceivable for the electrical sensor device to comprise an angle sensor of the access device, wherein the electrical measurement data is recorded using the angle sensor. This is particularly preferred for an access device with one or more wing door drives, which often have such angle sensors anyway.

[0074] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that the server system, in step e), uses the measurement data received from the server system to identify the access device that has performed step a). For example, it is possible for the access device to have a visually recognizable marking, based on which the access device can be identified in the optical measurement data. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable that the optical and / or acoustic calibration signal, which the access device preferably emits during the test drive, is suitable for identifying the access device.
