MEASURING INSTRUMENT AND PROCEDURE FOR THE COLLECTION AND TRANSMISSION OF MEASURING DATA

The invention concerns a measuring instrument and/or an arrangement in accordance with the generic term of the patent claim 1. of the moreover concerns the invention a procedure in accordance with the generic term of the requirement 11. An important role plays the collection, storage and processing of measuring data within many ranges of the everyday life (read off the announcement from most diverse equipments, measuring instruments, e.g. for current consumption). A large number of measuring instruments had already standardised wired (USB, RS232…. ) and wireless (infrared, BlueTooth) interfaces, which the collection of the respective, measured value permits by means of appropriate reader for further processing (e.g.: Blood pressure apparatus with serial interface, blood sugar measuring instrument with infrared interface…. ). The data communication and/or the subsequent treatment (diagram, trend, statistics) takes place nowadays to a large extent at and/or by means of PC. By the rapid advancements at the mobile telephone sector, as well as the equipment of the mobile phones with the appropriate interfaces these devices can be used in order to seize and on the other hand over the data channel (GPRS/UMTS) to a central data base for storage and/or evaluation pass on the one hand measured values on mobilely, at the POINT OF Care ". Many mobile phones support interfaces such as BlueTooth or infrared. The employment of these technologies required on the one hand often a high configuration expenditure and does not represent further also one for the layman and intuitive method of the data acquisition which can be handled with difficulty. Admits is more femer the employment of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. By NFC one understands wireless communication between electronic devices, which communicate with one another on basis of radio frequency identification (RFID). NFC works in a frequency range of 13.56 MHz and offers a data transmission rate of maximally 424 kBit/s with a range of maximally 20 centimeters. The parameters for NFC are already specified by ISO 18092, ECMA 340 and/or ETSI TS 102,190. A gap is closed, which was left open by the existing systems: It concerns the bypass of very small distances (in cmBereich), which on the fact runs out that two communicating devices so close must come themselves that one can speak almost of a contact, in order to be able to communicate with one another. Thus the possibility results that a user its will for communication simply by that, into the proximity - Bringen= of two devices - without further KonfiguraUonsschdtte - to express can. The companies Sony, Philips and Nokia created 2004 together the NFC forum (www.nfc-forum.org), which advances the implementation and standardisation of the NFC technology and which compatibility between devices and services is to guarantee. oo oöo oo oo it is to be foreseen that in the near future a large number of mobile terminals (e.g. mobile phones) supports NFC technology typical applications lies in the ranges Multimedia, wireless data communication as well as eTickeUng and cashless money transfer. A goal of the invention is the extension of a measuring instrument and/or production of an arrangement for collection and also for the transmission of measuring data is furnished, which and/or those is user friendly and reliable in service, whereby in particular to the simple structure and the simple operation importance is attached. These defaults are solved with a measuring instrument in accordance with the generic term of the patent claim 1 with the characteristics stated in the characteristic of the requirement 1. That according to invention procedures is characterized by in the characteristic of the requirement of 11 stated characteristics. The procedure way according to invention makes an accurate and possibility possible betdebssichere simple for the user and of transmitting the appropriate measuring data; is only necessary, an appropriate data communication module, like that as it e.g. in a mobile phone is intended, close to the measuring data delivery unit, i.e. to the antenna and/or the RFID day to bring the measuring instrument. In particular in addition the range of the display is intended; this is the range well most remarkable by the measuring instrument identifiable and. The supply of measuring data via NFC, made possible ausserachtgelaßen up to now however a method which can be handled simply to manufacture contact between devices and transmit information, without all too large technical knowledge must be presupposed with the Benutzem. The characteristics of the requirement 2 show favourable arrangements the measuring data delivering units, i.e. the antenna or the RFID tags. Same is valid for the characteristic of the requirement 3. A favourable collection of the measuring data and/or the measured values and their pick-up are aforementioned in the requirements 5 to 7. Thus the possibility is ordered to transmit actually the measuring data and/or the possible additional information appearing on the display of the measuring instrument to the desired place. A simple structure of the measuring instrument and/or the arrangement results with the characteristics of the requirements 8 to in the following the invention on the basis the design is for example more near described.

In Fig. 1 is represented the AuFoau in principle of an arrangement and/or a measuring instrument, which for the collection and transmission of measuring data serves NFCbasierter data interface via wireless. To the measuring instrument 100 the NFC Kommunikationsmodul 300 is attached. An appropriate integrated hardware (data processing unit) 200 serves the current and/or last measurement as interface of these two components and übemimmt automatically the measured value and hands these over to the communication module 300. Via antenna 400 the measured value becomes then the data communication module (e.g. Mobile phone with NFC KommunikaUonsschnittstelle) 500 to the receipt and/or placed to the Weitedeitung against a data base 700 via data channel (GPRS/UMTS) 600 to the order. The measured value announcement and/or the display 140 (Fig. 2) is the central element in the man-machine interface, since it presents the measuring data and if necessary the further information in appropriate form to the user. Nothing the despite is present the measured value in one, static " form and can in this way not for further - processing and/or storage be consulted, aul it the measured value, as in the introduction described, via additional interfaces to the further processing to the order is placed. If no integrated interface is present, to date the method of the choice is for data acquisition the complex, error-prone Transkription of the represented information in paper as also electronic form. The possibility of photographing and of extracting in further consequence by complex graphic data processing the shown information (e.g. the current measured value) the display, represents a possibility of the simple data acquisition; , the substantial problem of this method lies in the fact that the which is the basis image processing for each display must be particularly adapted, which is connected with an appropriate expenditure. The substantial advantage of NFC technology consists on the one hand of the fact that existing measuring systems can be re-tooled easily and economically with this technology. After integration of the NFC Kommunikationsmoduls 300 into the measuring instrument 100 the user can express its will to data exchange alone by the ùin the proximity bringing " of the reader to 500 (e.g. NFC able mobile phone) to the transmission mechanism (antenna) 400 and/or 410. 0 O0 O0 O0 • • oo:: ö •.: …: …: o. '… “. .o the data acquisition can run off in such a way without further user action. In order to offer to the user an intuitive method for data acquisition, the procedure way according to invention is suggested. Fig. 2 points the schematic structure of the suggested system to the supply of the measured value via NFC interface. The current measured value is present directly at the measuring sensor 110 and/or the processing unit 120 of the measuring instrument. In many cases the representation of the measured value takes place via an alphanumeric display, e.g. over eir standardised 7-Segmentanzeige on LCD and/or LED basis. Additional information (Battedeladekc olle, status flag…. ) can be also represented with appropriate display Design. A substantial criterion, in order to already integrate a NFC based communication module 300 in at the market measuring instruments and/or systems present, places easy Adaptierbzw. Integrableness. That access to the internal memory and/or data bus is realizable often only with substantial change and/or Redesign of the circuit. In the concrete application one suggests measuring the signals directly at the contact points of the display and/or at the exit of the display driver (data line) 130. For the control of the individual segments A, b, C, D, e, f, g of the Nummemanzeige and/or the additional segments the measured value must be prepared accordingly. In addition the measured value is coded by means of special hardware in the display driver 130. This driver 130 is now able, which individual segments of the announcement and/or if it concerns a pixel announcement, the individual Biidpunkte so anzusteuem that the entire seeming picture represents the measured value and/or the information which can be represented. The measured signal levels at the entrance of the display 140 correspond to the control of the respective display element. This possibility proves above all as useful if on contents of the measured value memory 122 or the measuring sensor 110 not directly access will can. Nothing the defiance must be prepared the measured, coded measured value and/or be brought into a standardised form) over by the NFC Kommunikationsmodul 300 to be taken over to be able. This module can be realized in form of a data processing unit 200 with a Microcontroller (PC) 210, external memory 220 and optional amplifier 230. By a IJC one understands an electronic construction unit, whose functionality is defined by a software, which is implemented on the construction unit. By free Programmiersowie configurableness modern PC can be adapted the module very flexibly to the respective requirements. Many PC also the possibility, similar to available data, which are digitized in further consequence intem, support process to be able. Also this possibility of the signal conditioning can be considered above all if the measured value can be measured directly by the sensor 110. Naturally it is also conceivable, if it permits the circuit Design of the measuring instrument to 100 to pick out and further process the measuring data directly from the measured value memory 122 of the measuring instrument. The PC 210 has the task, the available information into Informationsbzw. To code data stringer, which can be handed over then to the NFCKommunikationsmodul 300. Now if a NFC capable mobile phone is brought to 500 into the proximity of the antenna, the measured value can taken over, indicated and-blazes automatically for documentation into the data base 700 to be transferred. The substantial advantage of NFC technology in relation to already assigned communication technologies such as BlueTooth or infrared consists of it that no configuration expenditure must be operated, in order to thus make a connection between two devices and an information flow. If two NFC capable devices - and/or their transmission mechanisms (antennas) - close enough to each other are brought, then data exchange is initialized automatically by definition. By the appropriate arrangement of the antenna 400 under the display 140 and/or integration of the antenna 400 into the display 140 the user can transfer the data in an intuitive way, by putting an NFC able mobile phone 500 on the display 140 and/or into direct proximity of the display 140 bringing (Fig. 3, Fig. 4). Naturally it is also possible, the place for communication planned of the position and/or the antenna 400 and-blazes the optional RFID day 410 at another place of the measuring instrument to select and/or attach and by an appropriate marking for the user mark (Fig. 3). A substantial challenge in the adaptation barness of an NFC able communication module 300 in measuring instruments and/or measuring systems of different manufacturers consists of transmitting the information occurring in innumerable variants standardised from the measuring instrument via NFC to the portable radio equipment. It is to be considered that it itself with the represented information both around alphanumeric representations and around bits - information to act can. The transferred information stringer to code (, RFID-Taglet=) is to be able to illustrate () and/or code a Screenshot= of the display and/or the represented information and by decoding at Lesebzw. To make readable and/or decode Empfangssystem again in appropriate form for the authorized user. To be able the internal memory of a NFC - communication module 300 or optional RFID tags 410, in order the information, which is represented at the display 140, is under normal conditions sufficiently large structured in the Extensible Markup LANGUAGE (XML) - format placing. The processing of the measured information into the XML format takes place via the PC 210 and contains preferably at least three substantial entries: 1. Name of the RFID Taglets (name) of each RFID Taglet is provided with a clear name and/or ID. 2. Place Dekodierungsbzw. optionally representation regulation (Decoud) will in most cases concern it a uniform a resource Locator (URL), by which the decoding regulation can be downloaded and/or referred, or which decoding regulation sent. 3. Information (VALUE) the coded information. Example: Coding of absolute measured values in the XML format: < taginfo> < name> BOSOpc< /name> < decoud > http://downloadlocation .al/taglet_bosopc.xml< /decoud > < value> 1208060< /value> < /taginfo> Example: Coding of measured measured values directly at the display < taginfo> < name> BOSOpc< /name> < decourl> HTTP: lldownloadlocation.atltagleL bosopc.xml< ldecoud> < value> 0110000; 1101101; 1111110; 1111111; 1111110; 10111111 < /value> < /taginfo> Example: Coding of measured values of a pixel diagram < taginfo> < name> PIX< /name> < dl> http:lldownloadlocation.atl tagleLbosopc.xml < /dl> < VALUE row=l > 0000000100000000000000001000000000010000000001 < /value> < VALUE row=2> 0000000100000000000000001000000000010000000001 < /value> < VALUE row=3> 0000000100000000000000001000000000010000000001 < /value> < ltaginfo> This method of the data communication makes possible on the other hand also a greatest possible flexibility regarding different data, manufacturers and measuring systems themselves. The operational sequence in principle of the decoding procedure is in Fig. 5 represented. After the mobile phone 500 to the NFC Kommunikationsmodul 300 would drive near the stored day information (RFID Taglet) to the mobile phone automatically transfers to OQ OO OO OQ • • Q • Q Q; • • • • o o • o • • O • • • • • • O • • • • O and buffered. One at the mobile phone installed software extracts the parameters defined in the RFID Taglet (name, decourl, VALUE). In the first step the clearly identifiable decoding regulation in the memory of the mobile phone is looked for. If an appropriate decoding regulation was found, the coded information can be decoded and be converted into a representational form readable for the user (representation regulation). In the case that still no appropriate decoding regulation was found, it can be manufactured automatically a Intemetverbindung and be referred the appropriate Decodierungsvorschdft by the manufacturer or a library, put down in the memory and be consulted for the decoding of the information. Naturally it is also conceivable to refer the decoding regulation also over NFC of the measuring system. Decodierungsbzw. Representation regulation is essentially a file (StyleSheet), is shown in which, as the software running at the mobile phone has be treated by the NFC Kommunikationsmodul referred lnformation and/or in which way the information be represented must. As appropriate representation platform the browser already integrated in modern mobile phones surely presents itself. In this case the appropriate decoding regulation serves as StyleSheet with the extension to extract and provide with additional information (inscription, appropriate unit) the respective individual values from the entire information stringer. e.g.: Representation of the Informationsstdngs 1208060 in the Decodierungsvorschift is indicated that - the first value the first 3 places nValue= of the entry - without further decoding - corresponds. - that it acts thereby over, blood pressure systolisch= (label) - the unit mm/Hg is. The extracted values are then merged in the second step into the StyleSheet and can be represented in such a way in the browser of the mobile phone. Like that it is e.g. possible to copy the display software-technically accurately at the display of the mobile phone and represent so the value. Naturally also possible the extracted values are to be buffered to process further and/or pass on to a central data base 700. The intended NFC Kommunikationsmodul 300 has an appropriate interface to the measuring sensor 110, to the measuring system 121 or to the display driver 130. If the NFC Kommunikationsmodul 300 a PC 210 is upstream, this possesses the appropriate interface. Is of advantage it, if the NFC Kommunikationsmodul 300 is likewise in the range of the display 140 arranged, so that a compact unit is provided from communication module 300 and antenna 400 and optional RFID day 410. From the NFC Kommunikationsmodul 300, which is arranged at the measuring instrument 100, a transmission can take place to any NFC able receiver. Fig. 6 shows schematically a possible Schaltungsaufoau. The measuring data are supplied to the data processing unit (210, 220, 230), which is upstream the NFCKommunikationsmodul 300. As represented (Fig. 6), different transmission paths A, B, C, D, E and F are intended, which appropriate different, which measured measured values appropriate signals are delivered to the data processing unit 200 transferred and over the NFCKommunikationsmodul 300. At the desired reception point 700 (Datenbankoder data processing) for these data these can be evaluated with appropriate default. The moreover the display driver 130 and/or the data processing unit 200 a memory 122 (Fig can. 6) for further information brought at the display 140 to the announcement assigned its. These information does not have to be indicated necessarily at the display 140, but can by the data processing unit 200 provided Inforrnationsstdng of the announcement be also assigned, e.g. the device identification or further for the user of the measuring instrument 100 not interesting data, however for the receiver of the measuring data from interest is and to this further details over the measuring instrument 100 and the remainder data liefem. The data processing unit 200 provides the moreover also the transmission protocol for the measuring data and the information which can be conveyed. The data processing unit 200 determines the format Datenbzw. Informationsstdngs, e.g. XML format, and/or adds data lnformationsstdng e.g. the device name and/or its ID and if necessary Decodierungsbzw. Representation regulations in addition. One RFID day 410 has the advantage that the last measured value is always available, without attacking the energy reserves of the measuring instrument 100 substantially; even with voltage drop by empty batteries in the measuring instrument the last measured value is persistent stored and via NFC readable. One recognizes (Fig. 6) that the NFC Kommunikationsmodul 300 the data via antenna 400 directly with the mobile phone bidir_ektionaljkann (I) or in the first step directly on a passive RFID day 410 writes (11). The RFID day 410 is appropriate either firmly in the effective range of the antenna 400 and serves only as persistenter buffers, then, in the second Schdtt, by the NFCfähigen mobile phone is selected (111) or in form of a contactless smart card as exchangeable, e.= e 'e =ee “eee “, o% • • • DD • Q • • • • • • • I eQI Q4 • • • 0000 OOIQ 00 QO data medium on that the measured values of the respective measuring instrument to be stored (e.g. running of hospitals).
