US 2006/145843 A1 describes a hazard detection system with a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal receives data from a hazard detection sensor and displays it.

Das Ergebnis der Selbstprüfung kann an einen Empfänger gesendet werden. DE 10 2005 060748 B3 discloses a fire alarm and a method for its verification. The fire alarm is equipped with a self-test device. The result of the self-examination can be sent to a recipient.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Überprüfung der Funktionsfähigkeit eines Gefahrenmeldesystems anzubieten.The invention has for its object to offer a method for checking the functionality of a hazard detection system.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by a method having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are described in the subclaims.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren überprüft die Funktionsfähigkeit eines Gefahrenmeldesystems, insbesondere eines Brandmeldesystems, welches aufweist: eine Erfassungseinheit zur Erfassung von eine Alarmsituation anzeigenden Sensorsignalen mindestens eines Gefahrenmeldesensors, insbesondere eines Brandmeldesensors; eine Gefahrendatenspeicher- und -verarbeitungseinheit (40) mit einer Verarbeitungseinheit zur Weiterverarbeitung der von der Erfassungseinheit erfassten Sensorsignale und mindestens einem Datenspeicherelement zum Speichern der weiterverarbeiteten Sensorsignale; und ein mobiles Endgerät (10) mit einer Anzeigeeinheit zur visuellen Darstellung der weiterverarbeiteten Sensorsignale.The inventive method checks the operability of a hazard detection system, in particular a fire alarm system, comprising: a detection unit for detecting sensor signals indicating an alarm situation of at least one hazard alarm sensor, in particular a fire alarm sensor; a danger data storage and processing unit (40) having a processing unit for further processing the sensor signals detected by the detection unit and at least one data storage element for storing the further processed sensor signals; and a mobile terminal (10) having a display unit for visually displaying the further processed sensor signals.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Überprüfung der Funktionsfähigkeit des Gefahrenmeldesystems umfasst folgende Verfahrensschritte: Prüfen, ob das Gefahrenmeldesystem über eine Kommunikationsverbindung mit einer Leitstelle, insbesondere einer Feuerwehrleitstelle, verbunden ist; Trennen der Kommunikationsverbindung zwischen dem Gefahrenmeldesystem und der Leitstelle, falls die Prüfung ergibt, dass eine Kommunikationsverbindung besteht; Absichtliches Auslösen eines der Gefahrenmeldesensoren; und Anzeige der von der Erfassungseinheit erfassten Sensorsignale des absichtlich ausgelösten Gefahrenmeldesensors durch die Anzeigeeinheit des mobilen Endgerätes.The method according to the invention for checking the functionality of the danger detection system comprises the following method steps: Checking whether the hazard detection system is connected via a communication link to a control center, in particular a fire control center; Disconnecting the communication link between the hazard detection system and the control center if the test indicates that there is a communication connection; Deliberate triggering of one of the hazard detection sensors; and displaying the detected by the detection unit sensor signals of deliberately triggered hazard detection sensor by the display unit of the mobile terminal.

Nach dem absichtlichen Auslösen eines der Gefahrenmeldesensoren wird bei einem funktionsfähigen Gefahrenmeldesensor dieser die Gefahrensituation detektieren und entsprechende Sensordaten an die Erfassungseinheit senden. Anschließend werden die Alarmdaten mit Hilfe der Anzeigeeinheit angezeigt. Für die überprüfende Person ist somit unmittelbar erkennbar, ob die Funktionsfähigkeit des Gefahrenmeldesensors gegeben ist. Wird keine Alarmsituation auf der Anzeigeeinheit angezeigt, so ist der Gefahrenmeldesensor funktionsuntüchtig. Durch die Anzeige auf dem mobilen Endgerät ist es für eine prüfende Person möglich, die Auswertung der Funktionsprüfung direkt, ohne an einem bestimmten Ort gebunden zu sein, vorzunehmen. Insbesondere ist es möglich, den Gefahrenmeldesensor absichtlich auszulösen, sodann die Funktionstüchtigkeit mit Hilfe der Anzeige auf dem mobilen Endgerät zu überprüfen und sich anschließend direkt zu einem weiteren zu überprüfenden Gefahrenmeldesensor zu begeben. Erfindungsgemäß werden vor dem absichtlichen Auslösen des Gefahrenmeldesensors folgende Verfahrensschritte ausgeführt: (1) Prüfen, ob das Gefahrenmeldesystem über eine Kommunikationsverbindung mit einer Leitstelle, insbesondere einer Feuerwehrleitstelle, verbunden ist; und (2) Trennen der Kommunikationsverbindung zwischen dem Gefahrenmeldesystem und der Leitstelle, falls die Prüfung ergibt, dass eine Kommunikationsverbindung besteht. Auf diese Weise wird eine eventuell bestehende Kommunikationsverbindung mit einer Leitstelle getrennt, um die Gefahr auszuschließen, dass das absichtliche Auslösen des Gefahrenmeldesensors von der Leitstelle als realer Alarmfall eingestuft wird.After the intentional triggering of one of the hazard detection sensors, the danger situation will be detected by a functioning hazard detection sensor and the corresponding sensor data will be sent to the detection unit. Subsequently, the alarm data is displayed using the display unit. For the person checking it is thus immediately apparent whether the functionality of the hazard alarm sensor is given. If no alarm situation is displayed on the display unit, the hazard alarm sensor is disabled. The display on the mobile terminal makes it possible for a person to be tested to carry out the evaluation of the functional test directly without being bound to a specific location. In particular, it is possible to intentionally trigger the hazard detection sensor, then check the functionality using the display on the mobile device and then go directly to another alarm to be checked alarm sensor. According to the following method steps are carried out before the intentional triggering of the hazard alarm sensor: (1) checking whether the hazard alarm system is connected via a communication link to a control center, in particular a fire brigade control center; and (2) disconnect the communications link between the hazard detection system and the control center if the test indicates that there is a communication link. In this way, a possibly existing communication connection with a control center is disconnected in order to eliminate the risk that the deliberate triggering of the hazard alarm sensor is classified by the control center as a real alarm case.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform erfolgt die Anzeige der von der Erfassungseinheit erfassten Sensorsignale auf dem mobilen Endgerät in Form eines virtuellen Abbildes einer Bedienoberfläche der Zentraleinheit. Insbesondere wenn das Gefahrenmeldesystem als Brandmeldesystem ausgebildet ist, kann dieses virtuelle Abbild die Bedienfläche einer BMZ darstellen. Dadurch können sich die Feuerwehreinsatzkräfte einen Überblick über die in der BMZ eintreffenden Sensorsignale machen, ohne sich vor Ort an der BMZ befinden zu müssen.In an advantageous embodiment, the display of the sensor signals detected by the detection unit takes place on the mobile terminal in the form of a virtual image of a user interface of the central unit. In particular, if the hazard detection system is designed as a fire alarm system, this virtual image can represent the control surface of a BMZ. As a result, the firefighting personnel can get an overview of the sensor signals arriving at the BMZ without having to be on site at the BMZ.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform erfolgt eine Anzeige der von der Erfassungseinheit erfassten Sensorsignale eines weiteren, nicht dem absichtlich ausgelösten Gefahrenmeldesensor entsprechenden Gefahrenmeldesensors, falls dieser weitere Gefahrenmeldesensor eine Alarmsituation detektiert. Auf diese Weise ist sichergestellt, dass - auch wenn die Kommunikationsverbindung zur Leitstelle unterbrochen ist - eine Alarmmeldung eines Gefahrenmeldesensors, der momentan nicht überprüft wird, nicht übersehen wird. In vorteilhafter Weise erfolgt hierbei die Anzeige der Sensorsignale des absichtlich ausgelösten Gefahrenmeldesensors und des weiteren Gefahrenmeldesensors auf dem mobilen Endgerät zeitgleich. In bevorzugter Weise erfolgt eine Weiterleitung der detektierten Alarmsituation des weiteren Gefahrenmeldesensors zu einer Leitstelle durch eine temporäre Wiederherstellung der Kommunikationsverbindung zur Leitstelle undIn a further advantageous embodiment, a display of the detected by the detection unit sensor signals of another not corresponding to the intentionally triggered hazard alarm corresponding hazard alarm sensor, if this further hazard alarm sensor detects an alarm situation. In this way it is ensured that - even if the communication link to the control center is interrupted - an alarm message of a hazard detection sensor, which is currently not checked, will not be overlooked. Advantageously, the display of the sensor signals of the intentionally triggered hazard detection sensor and the further hazard detection sensor on the mobile terminal takes place at the same time. Preferably, the detected alarm situation of the further hazard alarm sensor is forwarded to a control center by a temporary restoration of the communication connection to the control center and

Die Gefahrenmeldesensoren 20, 21 und 22 sind als an sich bekannte Gefahrenmeldesensoren, insbesondere als Brandmeldesensoren (z. B. Rauchmelder) oder als Einbruchsdetektoren (z.B. Bewegungsmelder) ausgebildet.The hazard detection sensors 20, 21 and 22 are known per se as hazard alarm sensors, in particular as fire alarm sensors (eg. Smoke detector) or trained as burglar detectors (eg motion detector).

Jeder der Meldesensoren 30, 31 besitzt eine Detektionseinheit und eine Datenübertragungseinheit und ist als mobiler, d.h. insbesondere tragbarer, Sensor ausgebildet, der kabellos mit technischen Empfangs- und Sendeeinheiten kommunizieren kann. Dabei können die Meldesensoren 30, 31 sowohl untereinander kommunizieren als auch mit dem mobilen Endgerät 10. Die Detektionseinheit eines oder mehrere der Meldesensoren 30, 31 ist dabei vorzugsweise als Gas-, Sauerstoff-, Temperatur-, Bewegungs- und/oder Positionsdetektor ausgebildet.Each of the detection sensors 30, 31 has a detection unit and a data transmission unit and is considered to be more mobile, i. In particular portable, sensor is formed, which can communicate wirelessly with technical receiving and transmitting units.

Diese Daten werden - ggf. nach einer geeigneten Weiterverarbeitung - im Meldesensordaten-Speicher gespeichert und ggf. über die Anzeigeeinheit des mobilen Endgeräts 10 angezeigt.Furthermore, the danger data storage and processing unit 40 has one or more interfaces for receiving the data wirelessly transmitted by the data transmission units of the detection sensors 30, 31. These data are - possibly after a suitable further processing - stored in the message sensor data memory and possibly displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal 10.

Der Grafiken-Speicher dient zur Speicherung von auf die jeweilige Gefahrensituation abgestimmten visuellen Schaubildern. Ist das Gefahrenmeldesystem beispielsweise als Brandmeldesystem ausgebildet, so dient der Grafiken-Speicher zur Speicherung von Brandschutzgrafiken (z.B. Feuerwehrlaufkarten, Gebäudepläne).The graphics memory is used to store visual charts adapted to the respective hazard situation. If the danger detection system is designed, for example, as a fire alarm system, then the graphics memory is used for storing fire protection graphics (for example fire brigade maps, building plans).

Wird von einem der Gefahrenmeldesensoren 20, 21, 22 eine Alarmsituation detektiert (z.B. Ausbruch eines Brandes, Einbruch), so wird dieses Gefahrenmeldesensorsignal von der Erfassungseinheit der Gefahrendatenspeicher- und -verarbeitungseinheit 40 erfasst und ggf. nach einer geeigneten Weiterverarbeitung durch die Anzeigeeinheit des mobilen Endgerätes 10 dargestellt. Zeitgleich erfolgt vorteilhafterweise eine Weiterleitung der Alarmmeldung an eine über eine Kommunikationsverbindung mit dem Gefahrenmeldesystem 1 verbundene Leitstelle (z.B. Feuerwehrleitstelle, zuständige Feuerwache, Polizei, Sicherheitsdienst). Aufgrund der Verwendung des mobilen Endgerätes sind die Gefahrenmeldesensorsignale ortsunabhängig verfügbar, was die Gefahrenbekämpfung flexibilisiert und beschleunigt. So stehen beispielsweise im Brandfall den Feuerwehreinsatzkräften die Informationen der Gefahrenmeldesensoren (d.h. der Brandmeldesensoren) unabhängig von deren jeweiligen momentanen Einsatzort zur Verfügung. Ferner ist eine ortsunabhängige Anzeige von Brandschutzgrafiken möglich. Sind die Meldesensoren 30, 31 als mobile Meldesensoren ausgebildet, so können beispielsweise Feuerwehreinsatzkräfte mit diesen ausgestattet werden. Im Brandeinsatz übermitteln die Meldesensoren 30, 31 dann die Umgebungsparameter (z.B. Sauerstoffgehalt der Luft, Temperatur, Position der Einsatzkraft) an die Gefahrendatenspeicher- und -verarbeitungseinheit 40. Anschließend können diese von den Meldesensoren 30, 31 übermittelten Daten ebenfalls mit Hilfe der Anzeigeeinheit auf dem mobilen Endgerät 10 angezeigt werden und stehen insbesondere der Einsatzleitung unmittelbar und räumlich flexible zur Verfügung.If an alarm situation is detected by one of the hazard detection sensors 20, 21, 22 (eg outbreak of a fire, burglary), this danger alarm sensor signal is detected by the detection unit of the hazard data storage and processing unit 40 and, if appropriate, after suitable further processing by the display unit of the mobile Terminal 10 shown. At the same time advantageously a forwarding of the alarm message to a connected via a communication link with the hazard detection system 1 control center (eg fire station, competent fire station, police, security). Due to the use of the mobile terminal, the hazard detection sensor signals are available anywhere, making the fight against risk more flexible and faster. For example, in the event of fire, the information of the hazard detection sensors (ie of the fire detection sensors) is available to the firefighter deployment forces regardless of their respective current deployment location. Furthermore, a location-independent display of fire protection graphics is possible. If the alarm sensors 30, 31 are designed as mobile alarm sensors, it is possible, for example, to equip fire-fighting personnel with these. In the fire application, the alarm sensors 30, 31 then transmit the environmental parameters (eg oxygen content of the air, temperature, position of the emergency force) to the hazard data storage and processing unit 40. Subsequently, these transmitted by the alarm sensors 30, 31 data also with the help of the display unit on the mobile terminal 10 are displayed and are available in particular the operational line directly and spatially flexible.

Ferner kann das in Fig. 1 dargestellte Gefahrenmeldesystem 1 mit Hilfe des im Folgenden beschriebenen Verfahrens auf dessen Funktionsfähigkeit überprüft werden:

  • Zunächst wird geprüft, ob das Gefahrenmeldesystem über eine Kommunikationsverbindung mit einer Leitstelle verbunden ist. Falls die Prüfung ergibt, dass eine Kommunikationsverbindung vorliegt, wird diese getrennt. Auf diese Weise ist sichergestellt, dass die im Rahmen der Funktionsfähigkeitsprüfung ausgelösten Probealarme nicht automatisch an die Leitstelle weitergeleitet und dort als reale Alarmsituation missinterpretiert werden können.
Furthermore, the in Fig. 1 shown hazard detection system 1 using the method described below to check its functionality:
  • First, it is checked whether the hazard alarm system is connected to a control center via a communication connection. If the check shows that there is a communication connection, it will be disconnected. In this way, it is ensured that the trial alarms triggered during the health check do not automatically switch on the control center forwarded and there can be misinterpreted as a real alarm situation.

Anschließend erfolgt ein absichtliches Auslösen eines der Gefahrenmeldesensoren 20, 21, 22. Mit anderen Worten wird ein Probealarm an einem ersten Gefahrenmeldesensor 20 ausgelöst. Hierzu begibt sich eine Person, die zugleich das mobile Endgerät 10 bei sich trägt, zu dem ersten Gefahrenmeldesensor 20 und betätigt diesen.Subsequently, an intentional triggering of one of the hazard detection sensors 20, 21, 22 takes place. In other words, a test alarm is triggered on a first hazard detection sensor 20. For this purpose, a person who carries the mobile terminal 10 at the same time goes to the first hazard detection sensor 20 and actuates it.

Bei einem funktionsfähigen Gefahrenmeldesensor wird dieser die Gefahrensituation detektieren und entsprechende Sensordaten an die Erfassungseinheit senden. Anschließend werden die Alarmdaten mit Hilfe der Anzeigeeinheit angezeigt. Für die überprüfende Person ist somit unmittelbar erkennbar, ob die Funktionsfähigkeit des ersten Gefahrenmeldesensors 20 gegeben ist. Wird keine Alarmsituation auf der Anzeigeeinheit angezeigt, obwohl der ersten Gefahrenmeldesensor 20 absichtlich ausgelöst wurde, so ist der Gefahrenmeldesensor 20 funktionsuntüchtig. Diese Situation kann zusätzlich durch eine Warnmeldung auf der Anzeigeeinheit visualisiert werden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die überprüfende Person mit Hilfe der Eingabeeinheit eine entsprechende Notiz eingeben, die in der Gefahrendatenspeicher- u. -verarbeitungseinheit 40 zugeordnet zum fehlerhaften Gefahrenmeldesensor gespeichert wird.In the case of a functioning hazard alarm sensor, the latter will detect the dangerous situation and send corresponding sensor data to the detection unit. Subsequently, the alarm data is displayed using the display unit. For the person checking it is thus immediately apparent whether the functionality of the first hazard detection sensor 20 is given. If no alarm situation is displayed on the display unit, although the first hazard detection sensor 20 was deliberately triggered, then the hazard detection sensor 20 is disabled. This situation can additionally be visualized by a warning message on the display unit. Alternatively or additionally, the verifying person with the help of the input unit enter a corresponding note that u in the Gefahradatenspeicher- u. Processing unit 40 associated with the faulty hazard detection sensor is stored.

Nach der Überprüfung des ersten Gefahrenmeldesensors 20 kann sich die prüfende Person zu einem nächsten Gefahrenmeldesensor (zweiter Gefahrenmeldesensor 21) begeben und diesen in analoger Weise überprüfen. Auf diese Weise kann eine einzige Person auf schnelle und bequeme Weise sämtliche Gefahrenmeldesensoren 20, 21, 22 überprüfen und zeitgleich das Überprüfungsergebnis mit Hilfe des mobilen Endgerätes 10 kontrollieren.After checking the first hazard detection sensor 20, the person checking can go to a next hazard detection sensor (second hazard detection sensor 21) and check it in an analogous manner. In this way, a single person can quickly and conveniently check all hazard detection sensors 20, 21, 22 and at the same time check the result of the check using the mobile terminal 10.

Meldet während der Überprüfungsprozedur ein momentan nicht absichtlich ausgelöster Gefahrenmeldesensor (beispielhaft der dritte Gefahrenmeldesensor 22) einen Alarm, so muss zunächst davon ausgegangen werden, dass an diesem Gefahrenmeldesensor eine reale Gefahrensituation besteht. Da jedoch die Kommunikationsverbindung mit der Leitstelle während der Überprüfungsprozedur unterbrochen ist, erfolgt keine automatische Weiterleitung der Alarmmeldung an die Leitstelle. Im beschrieben Überprüfungsverfahren erfolgt vielmehr eine Anzeige der vom dritten Gefahrenmeldesensor 22 übermittelten Alarmdaten auf der Anzeigeeinheit des mobilen Endgerätes 10. Diese Anzeige erfolgt vorteilhafterweise in einem separaten Bildschirmbereich und ist ggf. mit einem Warnhinweis (rote Blinkschrift, akustischer Alarm) unterlegt. Die überprüfende Person hat dann die Möglichkeit, diese Alarmmeldung als realer Alarm zu qualifizieren. Anschließend wird die Kommunikationsverbindung mit der Leitstelle wieder hergestellt und die Alarmmeldung des Gefahrenmeldesensors 22 an die Leitstelle übermittelt. Qualifiziert die prüfende Person die Alarmmeldung des Gefahrenmeldesensors 22 nicht als realer Alarm (z.B. weil die Person von der Funktionsuntüchtigkeit des Sensors ausgeht), so erfolgt kein Verbindungsaufbau zur Leitstelle.If during the verification procedure a currently not intentionally triggered hazard alarm sensor (for example the third hazard alarm sensor 22) issues an alarm, it must first be assumed that there is a real danger situation at this hazard alarm sensor. However, since the communication link with the control center is interrupted during the verification procedure, there is no automatic forwarding of the alarm message to the control center. On the contrary, in the described checking method, the alarm data transmitted by the third hazard alarm sensor 22 is displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal 10. This display advantageously takes place in a separate screen area and may be accompanied by a warning (red flashing, audible alarm). The examiner then has the opportunity to qualify this alarm message as a real alarm. Subsequently, the communication link with the control center is restored and transmitted the alarm message of the hazard detection sensor 22 to the control center. If the person checking does not qualify the alarm message from hazard alarm sensor 22 as a real alarm (for example, because the person is assuming that the sensor is inoperable), no connection is established to the control center.
