Accordingly, it is known to operate actuators of automatic building closures, such as in particular doors or gates, by means of a mains connection or by means of electrical energy storage devices such as rechargeable batteries. Actuators are understood here to mean drives and motors, but also other actuators for automatically moving or switching components of a building closure system or their peripheral devices.

From the WO 02/47038 a remote control for controlling a plurality of drives for doors, gates, windows or the like is also known, it being possible for the drives to be controlled individually or in groups.

The U.S. 2015/0302738 A1 discloses a programmable transceiver for mounting in a vehicle and for coupling to a mobile communication device. The transceiver is also configured to wirelessly send control signals to a garage door opener.

The EP 0 651 119 A1 discloses a method of inheriting a signal between a group of remote controls and operating the remote controls. For this purpose, after each actuation of a button on a first remote control, a receiver of the same first remote control is put into an active phase. If a signal is received from a second remote control during the active phase, the first remote control can learn the signal from the second remote control in a further subsequent phase. If no signal has been received by the end of the active phase, the remote control sends a pre-programmed code, for example to open a garage door. A single button can thus be used both to initiate the learning phase and to operate the garage door.

In the US 2014/0269667 A1 describes a device for the dynamic configuration of packet preambles for synchronization-based transmissions.

The device is designed for wireless communication and comprises means for determining an estimate of a clock-related offset between a transmitter and a receiver based on certain clock stability information, means for generating a packet preamble based on the estimate of the clock-related offset and means for transmitting the packet preamble the recipient.

The invention has set itself the task of increasing the ease of use for automatic building closure drives, even over a long period of operation.

To solve this problem, the invention creates a remote control system according to claim 1, as well as a building closure system and an operating method according to the independent claims.

Advantageous configurations of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

According to one aspect, the invention provides a radio remote control system for building closure drives and/or building closure actuators or other components of an automatic building closure system, comprising at least one radio remote control transmitter and a first and a second radio remote control receiver, the first and the second radio remote control receiver each switching between active and inactive phases, the Remote control transmitter for emitting a first remote control signal for activating the first receiver and for emitting a second remote control signal for activating the second receiver is designed in such a way that the first and the second remote control signal each have a preamble of a specific length and a command section, the preamble for activating radio reception readiness of the associated receiver and the command section contains command signal information to be received by the receiver, the length of the preamble of the first remote control signal being greater than the length of the preamble of the second remote control signal, the length of the preamble of the first remote control signal being at least as great as an inactive one phase of the first Radio remote control receiver and the length of the preamble of the second remote control signal is at least as large as an inactive phase of the second radio remote control receiver, wherein the inactive phase of the first radio remote control receiver is longer than the inactive phase of the second radio remote control receiver.

It is preferred that the first remote control signal further includes a first signature associated with the first remote control receiver and that the second remote control signal includes a second signature associated with the second remote control receiver.

It is preferred that a first transmitter is provided, which has stored the first radio remote control signal, and a second transmitter is provided, which is designed to learn the first radio remote control signal from the first transmitter.

It is preferred that a second transmitter is provided, which has stored the second radio remote control signal, and a first transmitter is provided, which is designed to learn the second radio remote control signal from the second transmitter.

It is preferred that the first transmitter is designed as a backup transmitter such that when the first radio remote control signal is inherited, a copy protection identifier of the first radio remote control signal taught in at the second transmitter is activated, the second transmitter having a copy protection identifier checking unit that prevents a radio remote control signal with an active copy protection identifier from being transmitted can be learned.

It is preferred that the at least one transmitter is designed to learn at least one of the first and the second radio remote control signal during a pairing procedure for pairing with the receiver to be controlled by the one radio remote control signal.

It is preferred that the first remote control receiver is powered by an electrical energy store, while the second remote control receiver is wired and powered by a power network, the preamble of the first remote control signal being longer than the preamble of the second remote control signal, preferably at least twice as long, more particularly at least three times as long is long. The first preamble is particularly preferably at least 5 times, more preferably approx. 5 to 15 times, in particular approx. 10 times as long as the second preamble.

According to a further aspect, the invention creates an automatic building closure system for automating the actuation of at least one building closure, comprising a radio remote control system according to one of the above configurations.

According to a further aspect, the invention provides a method for remotely controlling components of an automated building closure system, comprising sending a first remote control signal to control a first component connected to a first remote control receiver and sending a second remote control signal to control a second component, the first component being controlled by an electrical The energy storage device is supplied with power without being connected by cable and the second component is supplied with power by cable, and wherein the first remote control signal is sent with a first preamble to activate the first remote control receiver and the second remote control signal is sent with a second preamble to activate the second remote control receiver in such a way that the first preamble is longer than the second preamble.

Preferably, the method includes:
using a remote control transmitter, and generating the first remote control signal and the second remote control signal from information from a memory of the remote control transmitter, the information also including information about the length of the first and the second preamble.

Preferably, the method includes:
Use of a first remote control transmitter and a second remote control transmitter, at least the first remote control transmitter being factory-provided with at least one piece of information for generating one of the remote control signals, and this information being transmitted from the first remote control transmitter to the second remote control transmitter for programming in its memory.

It is preferred that the information is transmitted during a pairing procedure from the associated radio remote control receiver to the remote control transmitter for programming in its memory.

Advantages and features of preferred configurations of the invention are explained in more detail below.

The service life of the power supply of battery-operated radio receivers (actuators) can be optimized via the sleep-to-listen time ratio. The listen time is preferably a fixed time in which to wait for the start of the data identifier. A reduction in power consumption can only be achieved by extending the sleep + listen time. Since the receiver and transmitter work asynchronously, it is preferable for the transmitter to send a preamble with the minimum duration of the sleep time before the actual data for each command. As a result, the action triggered by the sender is only executed after the preamble and data have expired.

This delayed reaction is advantageous for saving energy from components of the building closure system that are operated with electrical energy storage devices, since the operating time until the electrical energy storage device is replaced or next charged can be significantly increased, thus resulting in a not inconsiderable gain in comfort. However, in the case of mains-operated receivers, the operator would perceive a response time that was too long as a loss of comfort compared to existing systems.

With particularly preferred refinements of the invention, a possibility is created for the transmitter to vary the length of the preamble, depending on the type of supply to the receiver.

A previously considered approach was to deliver a transmitter with each receiver, which is provided with a short or long preamble that can only be used for the corresponding receiver.

In such a case, with a mixed use of battery and mains-operated receivers, there must be at least one transmitter for each of the two types, although one transmitter would be sufficient for the number of buttons, for example. A mains powered garage door operator and a battery powered door lock operator can be cited as an example of the remotely controlled components of a building closure system with mixed operation.

A motor lock for driving a door lock is provided, for example, on a leaf of a house door. If this is to be provided with a door drive, then it is advantageous if the lock can be opened and locked with a signal. Battery operation has the advantage that no cables or the like have to be routed to the movable wing.

Of course, the solution described here can also be applied to all other actuators of a building closure system that are not intended to be connected to a network, but rather are to be supplied with an electrical energy store in particular.

In one embodiment, a special transmitter (hand-held transmitter, abbreviated HS) HSsp is supplied with each battery-operated receiver, which is permanently programmed with the long preamble. Keys that are copied (inherited) from HSsp to other transmitters are given the send "long preamble" function in these transmitters. In a preferred embodiment, keys from other transmitters cannot be copied onto the HSsp (ie it cannot inherit). For use in safety-critical areas, the HSsp is also designed as a backup transmitter in the sense of D4, to which further details on the Configuration of a backup transmitter and the signals to be generated with it is referenced. This means that a button that a "normal" HS has inherited from an HSsp cannot be inherited from the HS. This version of the HSsp is therefore similar to a security card for mechanical keys.

In another possible embodiment, it is provided that the respective recipient communicates the length of the preamble to the sender with the aid of a receiver ID (e.g. signature).

In a preferred embodiment of the building closure system, a general actuator and an energy-saving actuator are provided as components.

In the case of the general actuator, which is intended and designed for power supply via a network connection, a receiver is active within a sleep/active interval with a short time T2 for a shorter active time. E.g. the receiver is active for 2 ms every 6 ms. The general actuator is designed together with its receiver in such a way that it can only execute commands (B1) with a signature that is valid for the receiver, e.g. a receiver ID 1 (RID1).

The energy-saving, e.g. battery-operated actuator has a receiver that is briefly active within a longer sleep/active interval T2. The active time can be longer than that of the receiver of the general actor, but the sleep-to-listen ratio is much higher than that of the general actor. For example, the receiver of the energy-saving actuator is active for 4 ms every 600 ms. More preferably, the energy-saving actuator can only execute commands with the signature intended for it, e.g. commands (B2, B3) with receiver ID 2 (RID2).

In a preferred embodiment, the radio remote control system also has a “general transmitter” S1, which is set to RID1 on delivery. A 6 ms long preamble is sent before each command.

In a preferred embodiment, the radio remote control system also has a "transmitter for the energy-saving actuator", which is set to RID2 on delivery. A 600 ms long preamble is sent before each command.

Due to the possibility of inheriting commands from other transmitters, e.g. a command can be copied from S2 to S1 (K1). S1 then sends this command (B3) with RID2 and accordingly a 600 ms long preamble before the command.

The transmitter for energy-saving actuators is preferably set to RID2 at the factory. A 600 ms long preamble is sent before each command. Due to the possibility of inheriting commands from other transmitters, e.g. a command can be copied from S1 to S2 (K2). S2 then sends this command (B4) with RID1 and accordingly a 6 ms long preamble before the command.

In another preferred embodiment of the radio remote control system, only one transmitter is supplied, which can learn the commands when pairing the receivers to be remotely controlled.

For example, a bi-directional transmitter is provided that is set to RID1 upon delivery. The transmitter is taught in (pairing P1 or P2) in the actuator with RID1. The sender expects a confirmation (response R1 or R2) from the actuator. This confirmation contains the receiver ID of the actuator. The transmitter stores this receiver ID with the taught-in command (B1 or B2). Accordingly, the sender sends a preamble of 6 ms for RID1 (B1) and 600 ms for RID2 (B2) before the command.

One advantage of a method with different preamble lengths is that both energy-sensitive, eg battery-operated, and mains-operated actuators can be operated with one transmitter. The short preamble enables a fast reaction time when sending the command, eg opening a garage door via a transmitter from the car. With the longer preamble, a compromise is reached between the energy management and the reaction time of the actuator, eg use of a battery-operated door lock.

Depending on the type of battery used in the transmitter, the energy requirement for commands with a long preamble (transmission duration) can be adjusted by reducing the transmission power compared to commands with a short preamble.

In figure 1 an example of a building closure system 10 is shown, which has a number of building closures 12 and actuators 14, 16 for automating the building closures 12.

The term building closure is also to be understood here as closures of enclosures; as an example for building closures 12 shows the figure 1 a door 18, such as in particular a front door 20, an entrance gate 22, a first garage door 24 and a second garage door 26.

The actuators 14, 16 are energy-saving designed first actuators 14 and to be connected to a power connection N of a power network general actuators, called second actuators 16 here, are provided. A motor lock or door lock drive 28 for driving a lock of the front door 20 and a first door drive 30 for driving the first garage door 24 are shown as examples of the first actuators 14, it being assumed that the garage in question is not connected to a power supply system. but is provided with a solar panel 32, for example. As an example of the second actuators 16, a door drive 34 for the door 18, a second door drive 36 for the second garage door 26, it being assumed here that the garage to be locked here is connected to the power supply, a third door drive 38 for the entrance gate 22 and a radio-controlled switch 40 for a light 42 that illuminates the area of the driveway. Of course, the building closure system 10 can contain other components in other compositions in completely different configurations.

The first actuators 14 are supplied with electrical energy stores 44, such as a battery or an accumulator A with electricity. In addition, for example, the solar panel 32 can be provided for feeding the electrical energy store 44 .

The first actuators 14 are connected to first radio remote control receivers 46, which also includes that the first radio remote control receiver 46 can be part of the actuator 14, for example can be provided on a control board of a controller of the actuator 14.

The second actuators 16 are connected to a second radio remote control receiver 48 for radio remote control, which also includes the case where the second radio remote control receiver 48 can be part of the actuator 16, in particular part of a control circuit board.

A radio remote control system 50 for the building closure system 10 has the radio remote control receiver 46, 48 and at least one radio remote control transmitter 52, 54.

Exemplary embodiments of the radio remote control system 50 are shown in FIGS Figures 5 to 7 reproduced, where in the figures 1 , 5 and 6 a first radio remote control transmitter 52 and a second radio remote control transmitter 54 are provided in each case.

At the in figure 7 In the further exemplary embodiment illustrated, only a third radio remote control transmitter 56 is illustrated as a single transmitter.

figure 2 shows a schematic representation of a possible embodiment of the radio remote control transmitters 52 to 56. These have control buttons 58 (or another user interface) via which information stored in a memory 60 for generating radio remote control signals can be accessed. For example, several memory locations M1, M2, M3, M4, M are provided in the memory 60, in which the information about the composition of radio remote control signals for remote control different actuators 14, 16 of the respective building closures 12, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 are stored. So you can control all actuators 14, 16 of the building closure system 10 with a radio remote control transmitter 52, 54, 56 targeted.

In order to save energy and resources, the first radio remote control receiver 46 and the second radio remote control receiver 48 are not active all the time, but switch to inactive phases between active phases. If an activation signal is received during the active phase, the receiver is activated so that the information of the respective radio remote control signal can be received.

As in figure 3 indicated, the first radio remote control receiver 46, which is assigned to a respective first energy-saving actuator 14, has a longer inactive phase, so that a longer interval T ₁ is provided, within which only a short time is actively switched. In the case of the second radio remote control receiver 48, which is associated with the second mains-operated actuator 16, the inactive time can be significantly reduced, so that a shorter interval T ₂ is provided within which the second radio remote control receiver 48 briefly switches to active. For example, the interval T ₁ is 600 ms and the interval T ₂ is 6 ms. The first radio remote control receiver 46 is therefore at least twice as long, preferably at least 5 times as long, more preferably about 10 times as long in an inactive state as the second radio remote control receiver 48.

figure 4 shows a schematic representation of a first radio remote control signal 62 for driving a first actuator 14 and a second radio remote control signal 64 for driving a second actuator 16. The radio remote control signals 62, 64 have so-called “preambles” 66, 68. These are sent at the beginning of the radio remote control signal 62, 64 and are used to activate the assigned receiver 46, 48. The first preamble 66 of the first radio remote control signal 62 has a length PL ₁ that is at least as long as an active/inactive phase T ₁ the first radio remote control receiver 46. This ensures that in the active Time can be determined that a preamble 66 is sent, whereupon the radio remote control receiver 46 switches to the receive mode. The second preamble 68 of the second radio remote control signal 64 has a shortened length PL ₂ corresponding to the shorter active/inactive time T ₂ .

Furthermore, the radio remote control signals 62, 64 have a signature 70, 72 which is assigned to the specific receiver of the actuator 14, 16 to be operated in each case. A corresponding actuator 14 only executes the command sent when it receives a signature that matches it (also called receiver ID for short) 70, 72. The radio remote control signals 62, 64 also contain a command information part - command section 74 - with information about the command to be executed by the actuator 14, 16.

In an embodiment of the radio remote control system 50, which is figure 5 is shown in more detail, the first radio remote control transmitter 52 is designed as a so-called backup transmitter, the second radio remote control transmitter 54 can be designed as a normal transmitter. D4 explains and shows in more detail how the backup transmitter and the normal transmitter are designed in more detail and how the part following the preamble 64, 68 in the radio remote control signals 62, 64 can be designed. Reference is made to this publication for further details.

In this embodiment, a first radio remote control transmitter 52 supplied with the first actuator 14 is supplied with the first radio remote control signal 62 stored in the factory. When it is said here that the radio remote control signal is stored, it also includes the case that the memory 60 contains corresponding information from which the radio remote control transmitter then only generates the radio remote control signal when transmitting.

As described in more detail in document D4, the first radio remote control receiver 46 can inherit the first radio remote control signal 62 to second radio remote control transmitters 54 supplied with the other actuators 16 . These second radio remote control transmitters 54 have the second radio remote control signal 64 pre-stored. Thus, after inheritance, the second radio remote control transmitters 54 are equipped both with the stored first radio remote control signal 62 and with the stored radio remote control signal 64 .

A possibility of inheriting information about the radio remote control signals 62 is also in figure 4 shown in more detail, which is self-explanatory taking into account the following nomenclature and the attached list of reference symbols:

Diese Receiver-ID hinterlegt der Sender bei dem eingelernten Befehl (B1 bzw. B2). Damit schickt der Sender entsprechend bei RID1 (B1) eine Präambel von 6 ms und bei RID2 (B2) von 600 ms vor dem Befehl.
