Abstract
An identification adapter for an identification device has a reading unit and a control unit. The control unit is connected to the reading unit via a data communication connection. The identification adapter has a receiving unit for wirelessly receiving identification data (ID). Also, the identification adapter has a data transmission unit designed to transmit the received identification data (ID) to the control unit on the same data communication connection as the reading unit.
Claims10
An identification adapter for an identification installation, said identification installation comprising:
- a reading device;
- a control device provided separate from the reading device and connected to the reading device via a wired uni- or bi-directional serial or parallel data communication connection;
- wherein the reading device is configured to receive a message and extract identification data from the message and to transmit the identification data via the wired uni- or bi-directional serial or parallel data communication connection in a second data format to the control device,
- said identification adapter comprising:
- a receiving unit for wirelessly receiving the identification data (ID);
- and
- a data transmission unit;
- wherein the receiving unit is connected to the data transmission unit;
- wherein the identification adapter is looped into a pre-existing interface of the control device which is used for the data communication connection between the reading device and the control device;
- wherein the data transmission unit is configured for converting a first data format of the identification data (ID) received by the receiving unit into the second data format, the second data format being designated for data communication between the reading device and the control device, including decryption of the wirelessly received identification data (ID) and conversion of an identification number or identification code contained therein into an identification corresponding to a range of numbers recognized by the control device having an identification pattern specified by the control device;
- and
- wherein the data transmission unit is configured to transmit the identification data (ID) received from the receiving unit to the control device on the same wired uni- or bi-directional serial or parallel data communication connection as the reading device.
