Abstract

The bicycle computer can also include an altimeter, auxiliary internal memory storage and a facility for connection to a PC. The altitude, the speed, distance and further data e.g. the time, can be stored at uniform intervals of time. This data can be transferred to a PC and can be graphically represented at the PC e.g. as a travel profile. The touring record can be entered not only across chip-cards or magnetic strips, but also across the PC.

Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die herkömmlichen Fahrradcomputer verfügen im Wesentlichen über die Funktionen der Messung der Entfernung und der Geschwindigkeit. Zusätzlich ist häufig eine Uhr eingebaut, was weitere Funktionen wie z. B. Stoppuhr, Fahrzeit, Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit usw. ermöglicht.The conventional bike computers essentially have that Functions of measuring distance and speed. In addition, a clock is often installed, which other functions such as e.g. B. stopwatch, travel time, average speed, etc.

Will man eine Fahrradtour entsprechend einer der vielen existierenden Routenbeschreibungen machen, so ist man darauf angewiesen, diese Beschreibung mitzunehmen und sehr häufig nachzusehen, wann in welche Richtung abzubiegen ist.If you want a bike tour according to one of the many existing ones Make route descriptions, so you have to rely on them Take the description with you and check very often when in which direction to turn.

Problemproblem

Der in den Patentansprüchen angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, daß, will man eine Fahrradtour entsprechend einer der vielen existierenden Routenbeschreibungen machen, man darauf angewiesen ist, diese Beschreibung mitzunehmen und sehr häufig nachzusehen, wann in welche Richtung abzubiegen ist. Da in der Regel sehr oft abgebogen werden muß (ca. 1 mal pro 1-2 km), führt dies zu vielen Stopps bzw. dazu, daß man sich immer wieder verfährt. Beides ist sehr störend und kann das Vergnügen erheblich einschränken. The problem specified in the claims is the invention based on that, if you want a bike tour according to one of the many existing route descriptions, you do it is instructed to take this description with them and very often to see when to turn in which direction. Because usually has to be turned very often (approx. 1 time per 1-2 km), this leads to many stops or to get lost again and again. Both is very annoying and can limit the pleasure considerably.  

Lösungsolution

Dieses Problem wird durch die in den Patentansprüchen aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst.This problem is addressed by those listed in the claims Features resolved.

Ausgangspunkt ist ein herkömmlicher Fahrradcomputer wie unter "Stand der Technik" beschrieben. Ein Gerät mit diesen Funktionen wird erweitert um einen Digitalcomputer (Prozessor und Speicher) mit niedriger Stromaufnahme (z. B. 80C86), einem Lesegerät für Chipkarten oder Magnetstreifen, einem für die Anwendung modifizierten Display sowie um die Schnittstellen zur Übertragung der gemessenen Geschwindigkeit und Entfernung Daten an den Computer. In Fig. 1 ist ein Blockdiagramm des Gerätes dargestellt. Fig. 2 zeigt eine mögliche Konfiguration für ein Display des Gerätes. Es ist allerdings wahrscheinlich, daß sich die detaillierte Gestaltung des Display in Laufe der Erprobungen des Gerätes in der Praxis noch ändern wird.The starting point is a conventional bicycle computer as described under "prior art". A device with these functions is expanded to include a digital computer (processor and memory) with low power consumption (e.g. 80C86), a reader for chip cards or magnetic strips, a display modified for the application and the interfaces for transmitting the measured speed and distance Data to the computer. In Fig. 1 is a block diagram of the apparatus is shown. FIG. 2 shows a possible configuration for a display of the device. However, it is likely that the detailed design of the display will change in practice as the device is tested.

Der Digitalcomputer erhält ein Programm, das durch den folgenden Ablauf für die Durchführung einer Fahrradtour definiert ist:The digital computer receives a program by the following The procedure for carrying out a bike tour is defined:

Vor der Tour wird eine geeignet aufbereitete Tourenbeschreibung, die auf einer Chipkarte (oder einem Magnetstreifen) gespeichert ist, über das Lesegerät in den Fahrradcomputer eingegeben. Am Startpunkt wird dem Computer per Tastendruck der Beginn der Tour mitgeteilt. Durch laufenden Vergleich der gefahrenen Kilometer mit der Touren­ beschreibung ermittelt der Computer, wann in welche Richtung abgebogen werden muß. Ist eine Abbiegestelle gekommen, so wird dies mittels akustischem und optischem Signal dem Tourenfahrer mitgeteilt. Richtungspfeile auf dem Display geben die Abbiegerichtung an. Mittels Betätigung einer Bedientaste wird der Hinweis quittiert, worauf das Signal verschwindet.Before the tour, a suitably prepared tour description, the stored on a chip card (or a magnetic stripe) entered the reader into the bike computer. At the starting point the computer is informed of the start of the tour at the touch of a button. By ongoing comparison of the kilometers driven with the tours description, the computer determines when and in which direction must be turned. If a turning point has come, it will communicated to the tour driver by means of an acoustic and optical signal. Direction arrows on the display indicate the turning direction. Means Pressing an operating button acknowledges what the Signal disappears.

Voraussetzung für diesen Ablauf ist, daß die Beschreibungen der Touren, die entsprechend dem momentanen Stand der Technik nur auf Papier vorliegen, in geeigneter Form aufbereitet und auf Chipkarten bzw. Magnetstreifen gespeichert werden.The prerequisite for this process is that the descriptions of the Tours that are based on the current state of the art Paper is available, processed in a suitable form and on chip cards or magnetic stripes can be saved.

Weitere Ausgestaltung der ErfindungFurther embodiment of the invention

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist im Patentanspruch 3 angegeben. Die Weiterbildung nach Patentanspruch 3 erlaubt es, einerseits die Tourenbeschreibung auch über einen Personalcomputer in den Fahrradcomputer einzugeben, andererseits können mit dieser Weiterbildung für den Tourenfahrer interessante Informationen wie z. B. die jeweilige Höhe, Geschwindigkeit usw. aufgezeichnet und zur späteren Auswertung an den Personalcomputer übertragen werden. An advantageous embodiment of the invention is in the claim 3 specified. The training according to claim 3 allows on the one hand the tour description also via a personal computer enter into the bike computer, on the other hand, you can use this Further training for the tour driver interesting information such as B. the respective altitude, speed, etc. recorded and for later evaluation can be transferred to the personal computer.  

Bei dem gezeigten Display handelt es sich um den prinzipiellen Aufbau, vor allem die Art der angezeigten numerischen Daten kann sich aufgrund ergonomischer Erwägungen noch stark ändern. Von den 8 gezeigten Richtungspfeilen im unteren Teil des Displays ist immer nur ein Pfeil zu sehen. Dieser gibt an, in welche Richtung zu fahren ist.The display shown is the basic structure, before All in all, the type of numerical data displayed can change ergonomic considerations still change greatly. Of the 8 shown Direction arrows in the lower part of the display are always only one arrow see. This indicates in which direction to drive.
