Abstract
A method for individually configuring at least one automatic function for a door, in particular in a publicly accessible area, with at least one electrically or electronically controllable actuator for performing the automatic function, includes the steps of receiving configuration information from an electronical device associated to an individual in an approach area of the door, configuring the automatic function based on received configuration information, and controlling the actuator for performing the at least one automatic function according to the configuration. Moreover, a door control device is used for electrically or electronically controlling at least one actuator for performing at least one automatic function of a door, in particular in a publicly accessible area.
Claims11
A method for individually configuring at least one automatic function for a door, in a publicly accessible area, with at least one electrically or electronically controllable actuator for performing the automatic function, the method including the following steps:
- receiving configuration information from an electronic device associated to an individual in an approach area of the door,
- configuring the automatic function based on received configuration information, and controlling the actuator for preforming the at least one automatic function according to the configuration,
- detecting an approach of an individual to the door entering an approach area of the door, wherein detecting the approach is based on sensor information of an approach detection device for monitoring the approach area, and includes receiving both a signal from the electronic device associated to the individual and configuration information from the electronic device associated to the individual, and
- transmitting information relating to a facility to which the door belongs to the device associated to the individual, a map, accessibility information, availability of offers of the facility.
A door control device for electrically or electronically controlling at least one actuator for performing at least one automatic function of a door, in a publicly accessible area, the door control device comprising:
- a control unit;
- and
- a reception device for receiving configuration information from an electronic device associated to an individual in an approach area of the door, wherein
- the control unit is embodied for controlling the at least one electrically or electronically controllable actuator, and
- the control unit is embodied for performing an individual configuration of the at least one automatic function based on received configuration information, and for controlling the at least one actuator for performing the automatic function according to the configuration,
- an approach detection device configured for detecting an approach of an individual to the door entering the approach area, wherein detection is based on sensor information for monitoring the approach area, and includes receiving both a signal from the electronic device associated to the individual and configuration information from the electronic device associated to the individual, and
- information relating to a facility to which the door belongs is transmitted to the device associated to the individual, a map, accessibility information, availability of offers of the facility.
