13. The door system in accordance with claim 1, wherein the door has a unidirectional or bidirectional communication means; wherein the unidirectional or bidirectional communication means is a RFID tag, a NFC element or a 2D code; and wherein the unidirectional or bidirectional communication means is able to transfer data relating to at least one property of the door to a mobile end device.

14. The door system in accordance with claim 1, wherein the drive has a unidirectional or bidirectional communication means; wherein the unidirectional or bidirectional communication means is a RFID tag, a NFC element or a 2D code; and wherein the unidirectional or bidirectional communication means is able to transfer data relating to at least one property of the drive to a mobile end device.

15. A system for transferring settings of a motor-operated door system, comprising: a door system comprising a drive and a door drivable by the drive; a mobile end device that is configured to set up a communication connection to the door system; and a database in which a plurality of settings for specific door systems are stored, wherein the mobile end device is configured to set up a data connection to the database to download settings for a specific door system.

16. The system in accordance with claim 13, wherein the door, the drive, and the mobile end device have mutually couplable NFC elements so that the at least one property of the door and the at least one property of the drive are transferable to the mobile end device via an NFC connection and settings for a specific combination of door and drive are transferable from the mobile end device to the drive.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein, in said method: at least one operating value of a drive that drives a door or a control of the drive is transferred to the database; settings are generated or stored in a database using the at least one operating value; and settings for the drive are transferred from the database to the drive of the door system.

18. The method in accordance with claim 17, wherein the settings that are produced using the at least one operating value are generated by processor connected to the database.

19. The method in accordance with claim 18, wherein the at least one operating value to be transferred to the database is processed via a gateway and is transmitted from the gateway to the database.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURE

[0030] FIG. 1 shows the schematic set-up of a system for transferring settings of a motor-operated door system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The door system 1 in FIG. 1 comprises a door 2 and a drive 4 with which the door 2 is driven.

[0032] A mobile end device 3 is in this respect in communication with a unidirectional communication means 22 of the door 2 and with a unidirectional communication means 42 of the drive 4. The end device 3 is furthermore in communication with a database 5, with this connection preferably running over the internet. An interface 43 is also connectable to the mobile end device 3 so that data from the mobile end device 3 can be installed on the drive 4 via the interface 43. The communication means 22, 42 of the door 2 and of the drive 4 are able to transmit at least one property 21, 41 to the mobile end device 3. The property of the door 21 can in this respect comprise a code of the door type, the manufacturer, the type of the door, the year of construction, the weight of the door and/or the door dimensions. In the drive 4, the properties 41 can comprise a code of the drive, the motor type, a nominal power and/or information on the control.

[0033] In accordance with the method in accordance with the present disclosure for transferring settings of a motor-operated door system, a property 21, 41 of the door 2 and of the drive 4 is transferred to the mobile end device 3 with the aid of the communication means 22, 42. The mobile end device 3 then sends a request to the database 5 to obtain suitable settings for the drive 4 for the specific combination of door 2 and drive 4. As already stated above, there are a number of different doors and drives so that the installation of a motor control or settings for the drive suitable for the combination of door 2 and drive 4 can only be carried out when the door communicating with the drive is determined. A different control behavior of the drive is, for example, necessary for a sectional door or for a tilt door to achieve ideal results in the operation of the door 2.

[0034] After the database 5 has transmitted the corresponding settings for the specific combination of door 2 and drive 4 to the mobile end device 3, they are transmitted via a communication connection to an interface 43 that is in communication with the drive 4. If the drive 4 receives settings of the mobile end device 3, it takes these settings and replaces its previous settings with them. It is thereby possible that the settings of the drive 4 are specifically oriented to the combination of the door 2 and the drive 4.

[0035] The skilled person is aware that the input of the at least one property of the door 2 and/or of the drive 4 can also take place manually via an input means of the mobile end device 3.

[0036] It is, however, more advantageous if the communication means 22, 42 is a two-dimensional code that can be recorded by means of the camera of the mobile end device 3 and that thus transmits the corresponding properties 21, 41 to the mobile end device 3. An RFID tag or an NFC connection can also be provided between the drive 4 and/or the door 2 and the mobile end device 3 as a further advantageous embodiment.
