- connection boxes which can be operated as a connection box connected to terminal points of wired telecommunication networks, the connection boxes being able to activate or block an electronic device after dialing a corresponding subscriber number and sending an identification code.
- the problem is that feedback relating to the execution or change of a switching state is not possible.
- the known devices are not able to monitor the state of a connected electronic device directly so that a signal or a call can be sent when abnormalities have been identified.
- mobile parts in the form of so-called cell phones or cordless telephones are known.
- a handset in the manner of a cell phone is able to establish connections in a cellular, for example GSM radio network, in order to conduct calls made via the network operator.
- charging stations or charging cradles are known which monitor the charge status of existing batteries via a corresponding electronic circuit in the cell phone, and buffer or recharge the batteries.
- the base station which act as a subscriber end station, the base station being able to communicate with up to 8 cordless phones as a handset.
- the cordless telephone handsets can be installed in different rooms of a building, with call acceptance, forwarding and the like being possible from and to each handset.
- the handsets are usually located in the charging cradle, which in turn supplies the handset in question via an electronic circuit in standby mode.
- one or more subscribers can now access a public telecommunication network, e.g. take the ISDN, whereby the locally established radio links according to the DECT standard give the subscriber in question extensive independence in the range of up to 200 to 300 m, depending on the range of the base station.
- a public telecommunication network e.g. take the ISDN
- the locally established radio links according to the DECT standard give the subscriber in question extensive independence in the range of up to 200 to 300 m, depending on the range of the base station.
- Various offered end points including cordless phones, offer the option of a so-called room Monitoring by entering a pre-programmed code and activating this code via a PIN. After such an activation, the selected connection is established or confirmed and the microphone is activated in the selected terminal, which means that acoustic control can be achieved in a certain sense.
- the control and monitoring of electrotechnical or electronic devices and devices via telecommunication networks, in particular radio networks or radio links, is based on at least one handset and a charging station with a power supply connection for receiving the handset.
- the handset is able to use a basic Station to receive control information via the local radio link and / or via the cellular radio network and to transmit monitoring information.
- the at least one peripheral electrotechnical or electronic device to be monitored is connected via the charging station to the power supply connection, ie to the customary, as a rule, AC network.
- control information can be sent to the handset in order to separate or establish the connection of the electrotechnical or electronic device to the power supply connection, ie to the AC voltage network.
- the state of the peripheral electronic device or devices connected is determined by monitoring the current flowing via the supply connection, this monitoring variable reaching the mobile unit indirectly via the aforementioned contactless or contact-type connection unit.
- the control information received is also forwarded by means of a connection unit in order to act on a special switch module which is located in the circuit of the supply connection.
- a current sensor connected in series with the looped-through power supply connection is used to monitor the condition of the peripheral electronic device.
- the connection unit is able to activate the handset located in the charging station in order to cause the handset to make a call to a programmable one
- the status of the current sensor can also be queried by external selection, with a particular tone signal sequence and / or tone type being generated for status signaling, for example of three statuses such as “off”, “standby”, “operation”.
- the invention makes use of a charging station known per se or a base station with a receptacle for a mobile part, the charging or base station being expanded by a device for making electrical contact with at least one electrotechnical or electronic device.
- a device can be, for example, a conventional standardized safety socket which is integrated into the charging station.
- the device in question is connected to the power supply connection or network via a current sensor and a switch assembly.
- connection unit which also assumes an evaluation of certain states of the connected device via the current sensor, leading to contacts located on or in the charging cradle or to a transponder coil arrangement.
- the contacts or the transponder coil arrangement serve for the transmission of possibly evaluated current sensor signals to the handset and / or control information from the handset to the switch assembly in such a way that the current-dependent state of the connected electrotechnical or electronic device can be reported and / or changed.
- the evaluation electronics with respect to the current sensor signal can both be contained in the connection unit, that is to say can also be taken over, for example, by the microprocessor of the handset, which carries out the evaluation using appropriate software routines.
- the evaluation circuit is comprised by the connection unit, a programmable automatic call to the handset and / or an optical or acoustic alarm is triggered or triggered when predetermined currents are reached, exceeded or undershot.
- the acoustic alarm with a defined, status-related tone sequence can also be queried by an external participant.
- the handset can not only be a cordless telephone that is operated at a local base station, but it is also possible to use a GSM radio telephone that is located in a correspondingly modified charging station.
- the state of the switch assembly is of course also via the connection unit by activating the handset by means of the telecommunication network, i.e. can be changed by transmitting appropriate control commands.
- the invention further includes the possibility of providing several charging stations with cordless mobile parts for controlling and monitoring various electrotechnical or electronic devices located at different locations, the base station itself being connected to a public wired, for example ISDN telecommunication network, in order to provide corresponding monitoring information to a network subscriber to send, but also to receive control information or control commands from the subscriber, and then to the respective Switch assembly of the corresponding charging station of the handset addressed.
- a public wired for example ISDN telecommunication network
- External control of the handset e.g. Cordless handsets can be made by dialing and entering a number code, but also by voice input, so that the use is largely simplified.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a further-developed charging station with a cordless telephone
- FIG. 2 shows an arrangement of a plurality of cordless telephones, each located in charging stations, which communicate locally with a base station, which in turn is connected to a public, for example ISDN, network.
- the charging station 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a recess 2 for receiving a handset or a cordless telephone 3.
- a charging circuit 5 can be used to charge or recharge an accumulator located in the cordless telephone 3, the charging circuit 5 also having a charging circuit 5 Power supply in stand-by operation of the cordless telephone 3 can take over.
- the charging station 1 has a mains connection 6, e.g. to the usual 220 V AC network in Europe.
- the mains connection 6 now leads not only to the charging circuit 5, but also to an additional plug connection 7, e.g. in the form of an earthed socket.
- switch assembly 8 Between the mains connection 6 and the plug connection 7 there is a switch assembly 8, e.g. provided in the form of a multi-pole relay. There is also a current sensor 9 for monitoring the current flow I to the plug connection 7.
- the current sensor 9 in turn leads to a connection unit 10, which is additionally able to transmit a switching signal to the switch module 8.
- connection unit 10 can evaluate or evaluate the signal supplied by the current sensor 9 and, using an induction or transponder coil 11, convert the evaluated signal into a signal corresponding corresponding coil in the lower section 12 of the cordless phone 3 transmitted.
- the connection unit 10 supplies output signals to an audio frequency and audio sequence generator which, depending on the state of the current sensor, also generates externally available audio signals for acoustic detection of the respective state. It is conceivable, for example, to choose a modulated continuous tone for the "alarm device on" state, rising and falling tone for an alarm state or a subdued, quiet continuous tone for the "circuit OFF" state.
- the value detected by the current sensor 9 is reduced, so that the abnormal state thus recognized is transmitted to the cordless telephone 3 via the connection unit 10 and causes the latter to dial a preprogrammed telephone number of a subscriber .
- the selected subscriber is then informed of the recognized state either optically or acoustically or else by voice output using a voice chip, so that countermeasures can be initiated.
- the cordless telephone 3 is able, after placing and accepting a call, to cut off the connection for cost reduction after a predetermined time or to re-establish it at appropriate time intervals to ensure that the information actually reaches the subscriber.
- All existing features of wireless or wired communication networks and corresponding end devices can are used here, such as call forwarding, call waiting or the like, so that even when the subscriber is not in the vicinity of the terminal, forwarding and reaching of the information is guaranteed with a high degree of certainty.
- a keyboard input can be made via the cordless telephone 3 located in the charging station.
- Cordless phones 3 with each other without access to a public network, e.g. an ISDN network 14 are possible.
- a peripheral electrotechnical or electronic device e.g. a light source 15, an alarm system 16 or a heating pump 17 can be connected.
- the units from charging station 1 with recess 2 and cordless telephone 3 can be arranged in the transmission range of base station 13 at any desired location, preferably in the vicinity of the electronic devices to be monitored or controlled, the functions of the cordless telephones as local end device being retained in full. This means that when the subscriber has a normal conversation, the connection unit 10 remains inactive and the state of the switch module 8 remains unchanged. If an abnormal condition occurs during a call at the respective charging station 1, i.e. If the current flow threshold values fall below or exceed the preset values, this can be signaled by an optical and / or acoustic display which is part of the charging station (not shown).
