Abstract
The invention relates to an operating state measuring system, to a server, and to a method for controlling the operating state measuring system, comprising the following method steps: receiving a data packet from a receiving unit; receiving a position signal; evaluating the received data; and generating a result data set from the evaluated data.
Claims19
An operating state measuring system for a plurality of transport units moved in different operating areas, wherein the operating state measuring system comprises:
- a plurality of transport units for use by a user and each comprising an electronic transmitting unit;
- at least one receiving unit, which is positioned in the operating areas and receive signals from the electronic transmitting unit and to send a data package to a central server;
- a plurality of beacons, which are positioned in the operating areas;
- an application, which is installed on a mobile device of the user and to receive a bijective identification signal of a beacon, if the mobile device is located in the surroundings of the beacon, so as to then prompt the transmission of a position signal to the central server;
- and the central server, which is to receive and to evaluate the data package from the receiving unit and the position signal for calculation of a result data set.
A server, which is to control an operating state measuring system, the operating state measuring system comprising:
- a plurality of transport units for use by a user and each comprising an electronic transmitting unit;
- at least one receiving unit, which is positioned in the operating areas and to receive signals from the electronic transmitting unit and to send a data packet to the server;
- a plurality of beacons, which are positioned in the operating areas;
- an application, which is installed on a mobile device of the user and to receive a bijective identification signal of a beacon, if the mobile device is located in the surroundings of the beacon, so as to then prompt the transmission of a position signal to the server;
- the server comprising:
- an input interface, which is to receive the data packet from the receiving unit and the position signal;
- a processor, which is to evaluate the received data and to generate a result data set;
- and an output interface, which is to output or forward the result data set.
A method, carried out on a server, for controlling an operating state measuring system, comprising:
- receiving a data packet from a receiving unit;
- receiving a position signal;
- evaluating the received data;
- and generating a result data set from the evaluated data.
