    description
    SYSTEM FOR CONFIGURING BUILDING TECHNOLOGY OPERATING DEVICES The invention relates to a system and a method for configuring building technology operating devices, in particular operating devices for illuminants, and a building technology operating device.
    The invention relates in particular to building technology operating devices that can communicate wirelessly or wired in a network and preferably use a network protocol such as the Internet Protocol (IP) for communication. The Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) or the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) can be used here. However, it is to be understood that another network protocol (for example IPX, BACnet, ...) or transport protocol or a protocol based on the Internet protocol (TCP, UDP or overlay protocols, for example DHT-based) is also used Use can come. It is important, however, that a building technology operating device transmits a network identifier using the protocol used. This can be done in a communication package, e.g. in the IP header as "Source Address", which specifies the source address of the IP packet. However, the network identifier can also be included or specified as a so-called payload or as / in user data (e.g. when using TCP).
    The aim is to configure a building technology operating device so that its operating parameter profile can be set depending on geographic position, a region or a location in / at which the building technology operating device is operated.
    The invention therefore provides a system, a method and an operating device according to the independent claims. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
    In a first aspect, a system for configuring building technology operating devices, in particular operating devices for lamps, is provided, comprising a central communication unit which is functionally connected to a data storage unit and is set up to retrieve information from the data storage unit and optionally also information store there, and at least one operating device that is connected to the central communication unit via a network. The operating device is set up to transmit a network identifier to the central communication unit, the central communication unit being set up to determine location-based information by means of the data storage unit based on the transmitted network identifier and to store the determined location-related information in association with the network identifier and / or to transmit the determined location-related information to the at least one operating device.
    [0006] The network identifier can be a network address, in particular an IP address.
    [0007] The at least one data storage unit can have a Geo-IP database. The at least one data storage unit can be connected to an information source (GIP), in particular a geo-IP database.
    [0008] The data storage unit can store operating parameters for operating devices. The data storage unit can use the location-based information to provide operating parameters for operating devices with regard to the network identifier.
    [0009] The location-related information can have operating parameters for the at least one operating device.
    [0010] The central communication unit can transmit operating parameters to the at least one operating device based on the network identifier as location-related information.
    The at least one operating device can change and / or set its operating parameters on the basis of the location-related information received from the central communication unit.

    Patent Office [0012] The at least one operating device can have a control unit which detects and / or evaluates the location-related information transmitted by the central communication unit. On the basis of the location-related information, the control unit can change and / or set the operating parameters of the at least one operating device.
    In a further aspect, a method for configuring building technology operating devices, in particular operating devices for lamps, is provided, a central communication unit, which is functionally connected to a data storage unit, at least retrieving and optionally storing information from the data storage unit if at least one operating device , which is connected to the central communication unit via a network, transmits a network identifier to the central communication unit. The central communication unit uses the data storage unit to determine location-based information on the basis of the network identifier and stores the determined location-related information in association with the network identifier and / or transmits the determined location-related information to the at least one operating device.
    In yet another aspect, a building technology operating device is provided, in particular operating device for light sources, which transmits a network identifier to a central communication unit connected to the operating device via a network, and receives and evaluates location-related information, and changes operating parameters of the operating device based thereon and / or sets.
    A control unit can transmit the network identifier by means of a network communication interface of the operating device. The control unit can evaluate the location-related information received via the network communication interface and, based on this, change and / or adjust the operating parameters of the operating device.
    The operating device can have a storage unit in which operating parameters, in particular in association with location-related information, are stored. The control unit can read out the operating parameters that match a received location-related information from the memory unit.
    The invention will now be described with reference to the figures. 1 shows a schematic representation of the system according to the invention, and [0019] FIG. 2 shows an exemplary sequence of the method according to the invention.
    In summary, a location-dependent configuration can be carried out as follows: A request from a building technology operating device is sent from the building technology operating device to a central communication unit. In particular, the building technology operating device sends one or more TCP / IP packets to the central communication unit, which contain the network identifier of the building technology operating device and, in particular, its network address, a serial number and / or a MAC address (e.g. its IP address as "Source Address").
    [0021] With this request, status parameters of the building technology operating device can also be transmitted to the central communication unit, for example. The state parameters can e.g. are a date of commissioning, an operating time value and / or information about error states. In addition, it is possible for information relating to a geographical position or geoposition to be transmitted to the central communication unit. However, it is preferably provided that the central communication unit determines the geographical position or region in which the building technology operating device is located by accessing the data storage unit DSE based on the network identifier contained in the request from the building technology operating device.
    If the building services operating device uses an IP-based network, such as the Internet, a connection via a provider e.g. to the central communication unit. During the connection process, the building services control unit is assigned a number, which is referred to as an IP address. The building tech2 / 10 enters this number
    AT15 557U1 2018-01-15 Austrian
    Patent office nikbetriebsgerät in the network (whereby NAT, i.e. Network Address Translation, may also be used for the transition between network segments) and uses this IP address to establish connections to the Internet content it called up. The building services operating device, or a device equipped with a public Internet address, via which the building services operating device accesses the building services device (due to the use of dynamic IP address assignment, proxy servers or NAT) can be identified via the IP address.
    The peculiarity of the IP addresses is that the IP addresses can not always be clearly assigned to a building services device, but always to an owner. These are often Internet providers, universities and similar institutions that not only manage an IP address, but also entire IP address spaces. The owner of an IP can freely decide which network node to assign which address. Although the allocation can in principle be changed quickly, it is usually the case that this option is rarely used, not least because the administrative effort involved should not be underestimated.
    Once the geoposition of an IP address is known, it can be assumed that it is still up to date later. Since regional dial-in nodes often have their own fixed IP address pool, the procedure usually also works with dynamic IP assignment. When using proxy servers, the maximum location of that server can be determined.
    So that the central communication unit can determine to which geoposition, that is to which place or region, the network identifier belongs, it accesses a functionally connected data storage unit, which in particular has a so-called geo-IP database and / or accesses it , With the help of the data storage unit, in which network identifiers can be stored in association with location information, the central communication unit then determines location-related information with reference to the network identifier, that is to say a geoposition to the network identifier.
    This location-related information, which may also include operating parameters assigned to the respective geographical region or position, can then be stored by the central communication unit in association with the network identifier of the building technology operating device, e.g. in the data storage unit. As an alternative or in addition, the location-related information can be transmitted to the building technology operating device by the central communication unit. For example, the central communication unit can be accessed by accessing the data storage unit, e.g. determine the country, city and / or part of the country from which the network identifier originates. In particular, the data storage unit is a geo-IP database.
    The building technology operating device has, in particular, a control unit which can evaluate and / or decode the data received from the central communication unit. The control unit can thus determine the location-related information from the received data. Correspondingly, the location-related information can be transmitted coded by the central communication unit, in particular encrypted. If the location-related information has operating parameters or information about operating parameters, the control unit sets the operating parameters of the building technology operating device or changes the operating parameters of the building technology operating device accordingly.
    It is to be understood here that the operating parameters transmitted by the central communication unit can relate to regional safety regulations and the operating parameters are set by the control unit in order to comply with local regulations. In particular, for example, a maximum permissible operating temperature, a maximum permissible control voltage or a maximum permissible control current for an actuator or sensor or a module operated by the building technology operating device, e.g. an OLED / LED module, illuminant, motor, or acoustic signal generator. Of course, other operating parameters such as speed of rotation, maximum operating 3/10
    AT15 557U1 2018-01-15 Austrian patent office
    Times, operating parameter range limits, color temperature settings and the like can be set. In particular, limit values for operating parameters that can be set on the building technology operating device can be transmitted by the location-based information. The operating parameters can be stored in a storage unit of the building technology operating device.
    Furthermore, it is alternatively or additionally possible that the location-related information received by the operating device is only information about the geoposition, e.g. contains the location or region specified by the network identifier. The building technology operating device can have a storage unit in which operating parameters are stored in association with the geoposition. On the basis of the received location-related information, the corresponding operating parameters or set of operating parameters can then be called up from the storage unit and the operating parameters or operating parameter limits of the building technology operating device can be set by the control unit as described above. In particular, the location-related information contains a geoposition and the operating parameters matching the geoposition are retrieved from the storage unit.
    Examples of databases that can be part of the data storage unit, or that can be accessed by the data storage unit or for the data storage unit, and that store an association of network identifiers with location information, are available at http://freegeoip.net/, http: //dev.maxmind.com/geoip/, or http://ipinfodb.com/ip_location_api.php.
    With the aid of the location-based information, suitable operating parameter configurations for building technology operating devices for the corresponding regions or locations can thus be transmitted and set independently of the sales channel of a building technology operating device, but also information about the state and location of the building technology operating devices can be recorded.
    Alternatively or additionally, the building technology operating device can also transmit a serial number or a similar identifier to the central communication unit as a network identifier.
    A corresponding system 1 is shown in FIG. 1. A central communication unit ZK is connected here to at least one building technology operating device GTG1. The central communication unit ZK is also functionally connected to a data storage unit DSE, which provides location-related information about a network identifier. For this purpose, the data storage unit DSE optionally accesses another information source GIP, which is in particular a GEO-IP database. The data storage unit DSE can thus provide location-related information on the network identifier of the at least one building technology operating device GTG1, for example by the data storage unit DSE makes a query with the network identifier at the information source GIP. Alternatively, a network identifier can also be assigned to a location or a region by the data storage unit DSE itself.
    The data storage unit DSE can also store operating parameters and / or information on operating parameters that are dependent on the geoposition assigned to the network identifier. These operating parameters or the information on operating parameters can be transmitted to the at least one building technology operating device GTG1 using the location-related information provided by the data storage unit DSE, a corresponding change in the operating parameters then taking place on the part of the at least one building technology operating device GTG1. In addition, the location-related information can be stored in the data storage unit DSE in association with the respectively associated network identifier. In particular, the data storage unit DSE is a database that is stored on the central communication unit ZK, e.g. a server that is executable. The data storage unit DSE can also be connected to the central communication unit ZK via a network connection.

    Patent Office The building technology operating device GTG1 is shown as an example in FIG. 1, which has a control unit SE1. The building technology operating device GTG1 is also connected to a storage unit SPE1, or the storage unit SPE1 is part of the building technology operating device GTG1. The building technology operating device GTG1 and / or the control unit SE1 is connected to the central communication unit ZK via a network (indicated by arrows) by means of a network communication interface (not shown). The central communication unit ZK has at least one suitable network communication interface (not shown).
    The control unit SE1 is, as said, provided to determine a geoposition and / or operating parameters from the location-related information. Operating parameters can be stored in the storage unit SPE1, which can be supplemented or supplemented in particular by the operating parameters determined by the control unit SE1. In addition, state parameters can be stored in the storage unit SPE1 and can be transmitted to the central communication unit ZK by the building technology operating device GTG1.
    The building technology operating device GTG1 is shown as an example in FIG. 1 as operating device for an illuminant LA. The illuminant LA can be operated by the building technology operating device GTG1 in accordance with the operating parameters which are stored in the storage unit SPE1 and / or which are determined from the location-related information by the control unit SE1, e.g. by querying the location-related information on the storage unit SPE1.
    The location-related information can contain a country code according to ISO 3166-1 or ISO 3166-2, which is evaluated by the control unit SE1, e.g. the value "AT" for Austria or "DE-BY" for the area "Bavaria" in Germany (DE). For this value, e.g. by means of a look-up table (LUT) for the value, an operating parameter or set of operating parameters for the building services control device GTG1 are determined. Of course, it is also possible that the location-related information is more detailed and e.g. also contain place names.
    Fig. 1 further shows a second building technology operating device GTG2 with a control unit SE2 and a storage unit SPE2, which is set up to an actuator M, e.g. to run an engine. The control unit SE2 can also evaluate corresponding location-related information on the network identifier of the second building technology operating device GTG2 and determine location information, analogously to the building technology operating device GTG1.
    A third building technology operating device GTG3 is shown as an example, which is equipped with a control unit SE3 and is provided as an example for operating a sensor S, for example a daylight, temperature, pressure and / or touch sensor. The third building technology operating device GTG3 is connected to the central communication unit ZK via the second building technology operating device GTG2. This is to illustrate that there is no need for a direct connection between a building technology operating device and the central communication unit ZK, but that only a network connection, also indirectly, can be provided between the building technology operating device and the central communication unit ZK.
    Fig. 2 now illustrates the method according to the invention e.g. for the first building technology control gear GTG1.
    In a first step S1, a building technology operating device GTG1 transmits a network identifier to the central communication unit ZK. The central communication unit ZK then calls up information from the data storage unit DSE based on the network identifier in a step S2. In a step S3, the data storage unit DSE determines location-related information about the network identifier and makes it available for the central communication unit ZK. To determine the location-related information, the data storage unit DSE itself, e.g. by means of a look-up table (LUT), location information on the network identifier, e.g. "AT" or "Austria" for Austria to the IP5 / 10
    AT15 557U1 2018-01-15 Austrian
    Patent Office
    Determine address 80.120.125.169. However, the data storage unit DSE can e.g. also access the GIP information source to access the relevant information.
    In step S4, the central communication unit ZK stores the location-related information provided in association with the network identifier and / or transmits the location-related information provided to the at least one building technology operating device GTG1. The location-related information can also include information such as postcode, longitude, latitude and / or time zone. In step S5, which is provided in the event that the central communication unit ZK transmits the location-related information to the at least one building technology operating device GTG1, the building technology operating device GTG1 receives the location-related information and makes appropriate settings, e.g. by changing the corresponding operating parameters, e.g. Time zone setting. The same applies to the second building technology control gear GTG2 and the third building technology control gear GTG3.
    It is to be understood that the building technology operating device GTG1 can in particular be an operating device for LEDs or OLEDs. In addition, it is to be understood that the central communication unit ZK can store the network identifier of the building technology operating devices together with location-related information which reproduces at least one location which is determined by requesting the central communication unit ZK on the basis of the network identifier. This storage can also take place together with the state parameters of the building technology control unit GTG1 to GTG3.
    In addition, it is also possible, by way of example, for the central communication unit ZK to provide firmware for the building technology operating devices. The control unit SE1 - SE3 of the building technology operating devices GTG1 - GTG3 can then, at specified time intervals, check whether a new version of the firmware for the building technology operating device is available through the central communication unit ZK. For this purpose, the building technology operating device can send a request to the central communication unit ZK, which in addition to the network identifier, for example, also transmits a serial number and / or status parameters of the operating device. The location-related information can then also be transmitted together with a new firmware version to the building services control unit GTG1 - GTG3.
