    The invention relates to a metering device, in particular a sanitary dispenser, as well as a network for data communication.
    Dosing devices are devices for the demand-controlled delivery of products that are consumed in toilet rooms, washrooms, in washing devices and / or in the kitchen area. In connection with the toilet and / or laundry rooms, the dosing devices are, for example, sanitary dispensers for dispensing soap, towels, toilet paper, fragrances and disinfectants. However, the present invention is not limited to a particular type of metering device.
    There is an increasing demand for metering devices whose parameters, e.g. the serving portions, to be customized to the particular needs of a particular environment, and to be customized via a "smart" Have sensors. The state of the art in this context includes, for example, metering devices which are designed for the reception of data (see WO 2005/065509 A1), metering devices which can measure the brightness of the ambient light (see US 6,267,297 B1) and metering devices which have a Detection device for detecting an object, eg a human hand) (see US 7,896,196 B2).
    However, there are no "holistic" technical teachings for combining such functionalities in a metering known. The present invention has therefore set itself the task of such a doctrine, which is characterized in particular by a compact, technically simple and inexpensive construction, specify.
    This object is achieved by the features of the two independent claims 1 and 16.
    A basic idea of the invention is thus that the receiving, the brightness measuring and / or the detection device make use of at least one common sensor for converting electromagnetic radiation into electrical energy. In other words, the common sensor acts as a multifunction sensor.
    Advantageously, the electromagnetic radiation is visible light and / or infrared radiation.
    The common sensor is a phototransistor with a corresponding sensitivity range. Alternatively, a photodiode can also be used. The principle of operation of a photodiode or a phototransistor is the same in principle, except that the phototransistor already has an integrated amplifier circuit for amplifying the measurement signal and therefore reacts somewhat slower than a photodiode.
    A particularly flexible embodiment is characterized in that the devices mentioned in claim 1 further comprise at least one common processor and / or common logic, preferably a microcontroller. With the help of this processor or this logic, it is comparatively easy to coordinate said devices with each other or to control by means of specific operating programs. For example, provision may be made for a specific operating program for controlling and controlling the receiving device to process the received data packets immediately after they have been received, and e.g. to a memory device connected to the processor or logic. In addition, the processor or logic may be helpful in providing the measurement signal of the brightness meter, e.g. to control the brightness of an optionally present status indicator indicating any malfunction of the metering device to use. It should be noted that the term "logic" includes e.g. so-called (programmable) "SoC" systems, where "SoC" is an abbreviation of the English term "system on a chip"
    For the technical realization of the detection device, it can be provided in an advantageous embodiment that the detection device further comprises a light emitting diode, preferably a light emitting diode for emitting infrared radiation. In the course of the description of the figures, it will be described in detail how an object, which is located in the vicinity of the metering device, can be detected by incorporating this infrared light-emitting diode. It also becomes clear that the brightness measuring and the detection device can be active simultaneously in the operating state of the metering device.
    Furthermore, the question is answered, whereby it can be determined whether the common sensor is used to receive data, to measure the brightness of the ambient light and / or to detect an object. In a nutshell, essentially two solutions are available for this purpose: On the one hand, it is conceivable that the receiving device can be activated by actuation of a mechanical component of the metering device, such as e.g. by opening a possibly existing cover and / or by pressing at least one command transmitter, preferably a button, can be activated. At the same time, this would deactivate the other or the other devices. On the other hand, it can be provided that the receiving, the brightness measuring and / or the detection device are active at predetermined time intervals in the operating state of the metering device.
    With regard to the data transmitted by means of electromagnetic radiation, it should be noted that these are specific parameters of the metering device, such as e.g. can be counter readings, serial and / or identification numbers and / or names. It should also be noted that the data may preferably be encoded according to the "KEELOQ PWM TRANSMISSION" format.
    Protection is also desired for a network for data communication, this network comprising at least one data communication device and at least one dosing device according to the invention. Advantageously, the data communication device comprises at least one transmitting device for transmitting data.
    In the smallest embodiment, the network according to the invention consists of a metering device and a data communication device. Optionally, it can be achieved by the inclusion of a computer, e.g. in the form of a personal computer, a notebook, a smartphone or a so-called "mobile device". For this purpose, it is expedient if the data communication device comprises at least one interface for data communication with a computer, preferably a USB, a serial, a WLAN, a LAN or a BLUETOOTH interface.
    Ideally, the data communication device is mobile. In this case, for example, a person who is entrusted anyway with the maintenance of the dosing devices or the cleaning of the toilet and / or laundry, take over in a simple manner also any data communication tasks by carrying the data communication device and carry out the data communication in the proximity of the metering device stops.
    Further details and advantages of the present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the description of the figures with reference to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings. Show:

    Fig. 1 shows a schematic overview of the preferred embodiment of the network 1 for data communication. The network 1 comprises (viewed from left to right) a metering device 2, which is a device for dispensing soap, towel, toilet paper, perfume or disinfectant, a data communication device 3 which is designed to be mobile and a computer 9, which is a PC, a notebook, a smartphone or a so-called "mobile device". Between the dosing device 2 and the data communication device 3 data can be transmitted in both directions of communication, i. that bidirectional data communication is possible. In this case, this data communication takes place without contact, by means of electromagnetic radiation, more precisely by means of visible light L. In the drawing, this is symbolized by means of visible light L bidirectional data communication by arrows and schematically indicated wavefronts. Typically, the distance A for this data communication between the metering device 2 and the data communication device 3 is a few centimeters. Technically, the data communication is made possible by the fact that both the dosing device 2 and the data communication device 3 each have a transmitting device 4 or 5 for transmitting data and a receiving device 6 or 7 for receiving data, the essential components or the mode of operation of these Transmitting or receiving devices 4, 5, 6 and 7 are explained in detail with reference to the following figures. The data communication device 3 and the computer 9 can also exchange bidirectional data. For this purpose, the data communication device 3 has an interface 8 usually used for this purpose by a person skilled in the art, such as e.g. a USB, serial, Wi-Fi, LAN, or BLUETOOTH interface. In general, it should be noted that the data stored in the network 1 between the dosing device 2 and the data communication device 3 or between the
    Data communication device 3 and the computer 9, e.g. Counter readings, serial and / or identification numbers, names, error messages, production data and / or information about the voltage state of batteries.
    FIG. 2 schematically shows the components of the dosing device 2 and the data communication device 3 which are essential in connection with the invention. The receiving devices 6 and 7 each comprise a receiving component PT and PD for converting visible light L into electrical energy, and the transmitting devices 4 and 5 comprise transmitting components LED1, LED2, LED3a and LED3b for converting electrical energy into visible light L.
    In the case of the dosing device 2, the receiving component is a phototransistor PT, in the case of the data communication device 3 is a photodiode PD. The principle of operation of a photodiode PD or a phototransistor PT is the same in principle, except that the phototransistor PT already has an integrated amplifier circuit for amplifying the measurement signal. This means that the signal of the photodiode PD usually has to be amplified. Therefore, the data communication device 3 consequently has a corresponding amplifier device 10. The phototransistor PT is designed so that its sensitivity to infrared radiation is greatest, but also visible light L can convert into electrical energy. In contrast, the photodiode PD has a narrowband sensitivity and essentially converts only visible light L into electrical energy.
    The transmitting components LED1, LED2, LED3a and LED3b, which are components of the transmitting devices 4 and 5, are light-emitting diodes which emit visible light L. It should be noted that in the preferred embodiment both the transmitting device 4 of the metering device 2 and the transmitting device 5 of the data communication device 3 each comprise two light-emitting diodes LED1 and LED2 or LED3a and LED3b. In the case of the metering device 2, the reason for this is that the transmitting device 4 fulfills a dual function. In addition to sending data, it also serves as a status indicator. By means of this status indication, e.g. are displayed, if the donated Good the metering device 2 must be refilled or a battery needs to be renewed. In such cases, the status indicator lights red. If there are no faults and the dosing device 2 is ready for operation at any time, the status indicator lights up green. In the simplest case, this two-color status display can be realized technically in that the transmitting device 4 comprises both a red LED LED1 and a green LED2 LED. Alternatively, it may of course also include a two-color LED instead. In the case of the data communication device 3, the reason why the transmitting device 5 comprises two LEDs LED3a and LED3b (which are two light-emitting diodes) is that in this way the signal strength for the transmission of data from the Data communication device 3 to the metering device 2 can increase.
    The receiving components PT and PD for converting visible light L into electrical energy or the transmitting components LED1, LED2, LED3a and LED3b for converting electrical energy into visible light L are electrically both in the case of the metering device 2 and in the case of the data communication device 3 a central processor pC1 or pC2, more specifically connected to a microcontroller. This combination of the receiving or transmitting components with the microcontroller pC1 and pC2 represent the transmitting and receiving devices 4, 5, 6 and 7, which should be indicated in the drawing with the help of four smaller curly brackets. The task of the two microcontrollers pC1 and pC2 is to prepare or evaluate the data packets intended for the communication. Depending on the type of microcontroller pC1 and pC2, different operating programs for data processing are stored either directly on the microcontrollers or in memory devices 22 and 11 connected to the microcontrollers.
    It should also be noted that not only the transmitting device 4 of the metering device 2 fulfills a multiple function, but also the receiving device 6 of the metering device 2 serves several purposes: it functions not only as a device for receiving data transmitted by means of electromagnetic radiation but also as a brightness measuring device 6 '. for measuring the brightness of the ambient light. In the case of a dispensing device 2 for dispensing soap or a disinfectant, this device is also used as a detection device 6 " for detecting at least one object located in the vicinity of the metering device 2, e.g. used for detecting the hand of a human. This multiple functions of the transmitting or receiving device 4 or 6 of the metering device 2 will be explained in detail with reference to Figures 3 and 4.
    In addition to the components already mentioned (reception component PD, transmission components LED3a and LED3b, microcontroller pC2 and memory device 11), the data communication device 3 further comprises a display device 12 for visualizing data, a visual status display device 13, an acoustic signaling device 14 (buzzer), a real-time clock device 15 and a power supply device 16, which includes a plurality of batteries, as well as already mentioned in connection with FIG. 1 interface 8 for data communication with a computer 9. The metering device 2 also includes several components, such as, a motor, sensors, adjustment elements, the According to the prior art usually be used to allow the delivery of a sanitary product. These components, which are summarized in the drawing by the reference symbol P, will not be discussed in more detail here, since they do not serve the understanding of the present invention and are already known to a person skilled in the art.
    The basic electronic structure of the receiving device 6, the brightness measuring device 6 'and the detection device 6 "of the metering device will be explained below with reference to FIG. Shown are only the essential electronic components required for basic understanding.
    The central component is a phototransistor PT, which converts visible light and infrared radiation into an analogue electrical signal and forwards this signal to a microcontroller pC1 for further processing. The phototransistor PT together with the resistor R2 forms a voltage divider, wherein the resistor R2 is connected to the positive voltage supply V + and the emitter of the phototransistor PT to pin 12 of the microcontroller pC1. When using the phototransistor PT, this pin is switched to ground GND. Because the pin is not permanently connected to ground GND, it is possible to disable the circuit in periods when it is not needed, thus saving energy. If (in the operating state) light or infrared radiation on the phototransistor PT, the conductivity increases through the phototransistor, whereby the voltage at the tap of the voltage divider, which is connected to pin 4 of the microcontroller pC1, decreases. Conversely, the voltage increases as the intensity of the light or infrared radiation decreases. It is therefore an inverting behavior.
    If this circuit is now used as a receiving device 6 for receiving data transmitted by means of electromagnetic radiation, the analog signal of the phototransistor PT is read in at pin 4 of the microcontroller pC1 and sampled in a specific time interval. In this case, sudden increases (positive and negative edges) of this analog value are detected and the time intervals between these increases are converted into a bit pattern (data).
    If the described circuit is used as a brightness measuring device 6 'for measuring the brightness of the ambient light, the signal of the phototransistor PT at pin 4 of the microcontroller pC1 is in turn read in and processed. A special feature is that an average value is determined over several measurements in order to filter out possible disturbances. The brightness value of the ambient light detected in this way can subsequently be used, e.g. the brightness of the already mentioned in connection with FIG. 2 1Ö ·· »«
    Status display of the dosing device to regulate. This brightness control of the status indicator is e.g. In hospital rooms, it is important to avoid disturbing a patient who is in the hospital room at night by flashing the status indicator.
    As stated, the phototransistor PT can finally also be part of a detection device 6 "for detecting at least one object, e.g. a human hand, his. For the technical realization of this detection device 6 ", the electronic circuit further comprises a light emitting diode LED4 which emits infrared radiation. An object in the vicinity of the dosing device can then be detected as follows: 1. The brightness of the ambient light is measured (in the manner described above). 2. The infrared LED4 is switched on. 3. A new measurement of the brightness of the ambient light is performed. 4. The infrared LED4 is switched off again. 5. The two measured values are compared with each other.
    If there is now an object in the vicinity of the metering device or in the vicinity of the phototransistor PT, the two measured values deviate from one another, since part of the infrared radiation is reflected back at the object. This deviation of the measured values is greater, the smaller the distance of the object to the phototransistor PT. If the difference in the measured values exceeds a predetermined limit value, the dosing device "knows" that an object is in its vicinity. This information can subsequently be used to activate the delivery mode.
    But what determines whether the phototransistor PT is used to receive data, to measure the brightness of the ambient light, or to detect an object For this purpose, several comments have been made: Since the first step in the detection of an object is anyway the brightness
    of the ambient light, it is possible to simultaneously operate the brightness measuring device 6 'and the detection device 6 "in the operating state of the metering device. Activation of the receiving device 6 is achieved in a preferred embodiment in that a cover 17 of the metering device is opened and / or at least one command transmitter 18, preferably a button, which is located on the metering device is actuated. The cover 17 and the button 18 can be seen in Fig. 8, which will be described below.
    A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the receiving device 6, the brightness measuring device 6 'and the detection device 6 "are automatically active at predetermined time intervals in the operating state of the metering device and do not have to be activated by operating a mechanical component of the metering device.
    How such a timing of the status display of the metering device, the data communication between the metering device and the data communication device, the measurement of the brightness of the ambient light and the detection of an object that is located in the vicinity of the metering may look like, is shown schematically in FIG shown. The time axis extending from left to right is provided with the reference symbol t. Events that are exactly superimposed in the drawing take place simultaneously. As a guide dashed lines are shown.
    As already mentioned, the two light-emitting diodes LED1 and LED2 arranged on the dosing device serve to indicate the status of the dosing device in the colors red and green. For this purpose, one of the two light-emitting diodes LED1 or LED2 Ge is switched on, depending on whether there is a malfunction), at periodic intervals ΔΤ1 for a period ΔΤ4. The time interval ΔΤ1 is in the second, the time interval ΔΤ4 in the millisecond range, so that the status of the metering device for a person who is in its vicinity, can be seen by a red or green flashing.
    It has also been stated that the two LEDs LED1 and LED2 are also used, in addition to the status display, to send data D1 to a data communication device. This is achieved by the data D1 being hidden in the form of a rapid succession of comparatively short light pulses in the status indication flashing of the two LEDs LED1 and LED2 ". become. The pulse duration of the data bits is in the microsecond range, which means that the data bits are not recognizable to the human eye due to its inertia. The data D1 is preferably sent at the end of a status light signal (in the time window ΔΤ7). If there is an operational data communication device in the vicinity of the metering device, the photodiode PD or the amplifier circuit of the data communication device in electrical contact with it is put into standby mode by a start signal preceding the actual data D1 and the data reception of the data D1 in the time window ΔΤ7 allows.
    Preferably, in the time window ΔΤ8, ie immediately after the receipt of the data D1 from the dosing device, data D2 is sent in the reverse direction with the aid of the light emitting diodes LED3a and LED3b from the data communication device to the dosing device. This immediate succession of the "data sending" and "receiving data" events has the advantage that the phototransistor PT of the metering device is automatically placed ready to receive the data D2 immediately after the end of the status light signal, and not specifically by a specific event must be activated.
    Relative to these three events (display the status of the dosing device, send data D1 and receive data D2), the measurement of the brightness of the ambient light (in the time window ΔΤ5) or the detection of an object (in the time window ΔΤ6) takes place at certain time intervals ΔΤ2 and ΔΤ3 the manner described in connection with FIG. 3 instead.
    A special feature is that the data D1 and D2 transmitted in the two directions of communication are coded differently. In general, a code is understood to mean a rule for converting data for its transmission. In connection with the present invention, different coding methods are available, wherein the data D1 transferred from the metering device to the at least one data communication device preferably in accordance with the so-called two-phase marking code C1 and the data D2 transferred from the data communication device to the metering device preferably according to the "KEELOQ PWM TRANSMISSION ' Format C2 are encoded. The two-phase marking code C1 is explained schematically on the basis of FIG. 5a and the "KEELOQ PWM TRANSMISSION" format C2 on the basis of FIG. 5b:
    The two-phase mark code C1 (better known as the "Biphase Mark Code") is comparable to the Manchester differential code, but differs in a different phase of the encoded data stream: it is an additional one-half skew of the uncoded data signal Bit cell time necessary to convert the Biphase Mark code into the Manchester differential code. For each bit of data, two states are transmitted. At the beginning of a bit, in contrast to the Manchester code, a change of state is always made. After that the coding differs as follows: At a one the state changes in the middle of the bit and at a zero the state remains the same until the end of the bit. In the upper line of Fig. 5a, the clock signal C1a is shown schematically. The middle row shows an exemplary sequence of data C1b to be transmitted, and the bottom row shows the coded data signal C1c.
    FIG. 5b serves to illustrate the "KEELOQ PWM TRANSMiSSION" format C2. One bit in this case consists of three signal units E. The first third of the signal is always "high", the third third is always "low", only the difference in the second third of the signal indicates whether it is a zero bit or a one-bit.
    As already indicated above, the data D1 and D2 are not transmitted in isolation, but are integrated into a predetermined network protocol N whose main components are shown schematically in FIG. First, a start signal N1 is transmitted, with the aid of which - in the case of the data transmission from the metering device to the data communication device - the photodiode or the amplifier circuit of the data communication device is put into operational readiness. This targeted activation of the amplifier circuit serves to reduce the power consumption of the data communication device. Following the start signal N1, some important information N2, designated by the term "header data1", is transmitted. This is followed by status bytes N3, the actual data D1 and D2 and a checksum N4. In principle, these components N1, N2, N3 and N4 of the network protocol N are known to a person skilled in the field of information technology or telecommunications therefore need not be explained in more detail. It should be noted that this network protocol N is applied in a similar form for both directions of communication.
    FIG. 7 shows a section of a schematic cross-sectional representation of the dosing device 2 relevant to understanding the invention, together with a schematic top view of the data communication device 3. The central element for the technical realization of the data communication, the status display, the brightness measuring device and the detection device is a circuit board 20, on which essentially the electronic circuit shown in FIG. 3 and the two light-emitting diodes LED1 and LED2 are arranged. This board 20 is located inside the metering device 2, which is covered by the cover 17 to the outside. Below the two light-emitting diodes LED1 and LED2, which serve (as described) for the transmission of data or the status display, a light ring 19 is arranged, which distributes the rather punctiform emitted light homogeneously to a wider area.
    Visible to the outside in the data communication device 3 - seen from above - are the two light-emitting diodes LED 3a and LED 3b, which are used to transmit data, and the photodiode PD, which is used to receive data. Further visible is a battery compartment 16, in which the batteries are arranged to power the data communication device 3, a USB interface 8, via which the data communication device 3 with a
    Computer can exchange data, a visual status display device 13 and a power button 21st
    Finally, FIG. 8 shows a detail of a schematically illustrated perspective view of a metering device 2 from obliquely below, in which case the metering device 2 is a device for dispensing soap. The soap outlet opening is provided with the reference numeral 23. Concentric with this outlet opening of the light ring 19 is arranged, which serves the status display of the soap dispenser 2. Furthermore, a button 18, which is also used to activate the receiving device, the phototransistor PT and the infrared LED LED4 can be seen on the underside of the soap dispenser 2.
