Description

[0029] FIG. 1 System consisting of insulating glass pane arrangement and reading device,

[0030] FIG. 2 Embodiment of an insulating glass pane arrangement, and

[0031] FIG. 3 Schematic structure of the component.

[0032] FIG. 1 depicts a first embodiment of a system consisting of an insulating glass pane arrangement 1 with a reading device 100. The insulating glass pane arrangement 1 comprises a first pane 2, a second pane 4, and a third pane 6. The first pane 2 has a first surface I and a second surface H; the second pane 4, a first surface III and a second surface IV; and the third pane 6, a first surface V and a second surface VI. Here, the second pane 4 is designed as an outer pane, in other words, the second surface IV of the second pane 4 is directed, in the installed state, toward the exterior of a building or vehicle. The first pane 2 is designed as an inner pane, in other words, the first surface I of the first pane 2 is, in the installed state, directed toward the inside of a building or vehicle.

[0033] The first pane 2 and the third pane 6 are spaced apart from one another by a spacer 20. The second surface II of the first 2 and the first surface V of the third pane 6 form, together with the spacer 20, boundaries of first cavity 10. The third pane 6 and the second pane 4 are again spaced apart with a spacer 22 and form a second cavity 12.

[0034] A component 30 is arranged in the first cavity 10, in particular on the spacer 20. The component 30 is thus arranged on the cavity oriented toward the inside. The component 30 comprises, as shown in FIG. 3, an energy harvesting element 32, a read-out device 34, a data memory 36, and, optionally, a sensor 38 or capacitor (40). Here, both the energy harvesting element 32 and the read-out device 34 are respectively designed such that they receive energy, in particular in the form of light radiation, through the first pane 2 and also transmit data, e.g., by radio, through the first pane 2. The energy harvesting element 32 is preferably a solar cell, which, when illuminated by an artificial light source or lamp, produces sufficient electricity to enable a transmitter of the read-out device 34 to transmit a signal with data. For this purpose, the read-out device 34 includes, in particular, a transmitter for transmitting a high-frequency radio signal, e.g., via Bluetooth.

[0035] The optional sensor can, in particular, be a temperature sensor and/or a pressure sensor and/or a humidity sensor.

[0036] FIG. 1 further depicts a reading device. The reading device comprises a device for transferring energy, in particular, a lamp 102, a display device, in particular, a display 104, and a receiver 106 for receiving a signal with data. The receiver is, in particular, a radio receiver, e.g., for a Bluetooth signal. The reading device can be, for example, a tablet or a smartphone with a computer program product, in particular, an app that controls the energy transfer from the reading device to the energy harvesting element and for reading out the data memory. In particular, first, the energy transfer is started; optionally, the orientation of the energy transfer is adjusted and/or the user is prompted for the optimal positioning of the reading device; after that, the data transmission is started; and after completion of the data transmission, the energy transfer is terminated.

[0037] FIG. 2 depicts another embodiment of an insulating glass pane arrangement 1. This differs from the insulating glass pane arrangement 1 shown in FIG. 1 in that it comprises exclusively a first and a second pane 2, 4. The first pane 2 and the second pane 4 have, respectively, a first surface I, III and a second surface IV. The first pane 2 and the second pane 4 are spaced apart from one another by means of a spacer 20 such that a first cavity 10 is formed between the second surface II of the first pane 2 and the first surface IV of the second pane 4 The component 30, which has, on the second surface II of the first pane 2, an energy harvesting element 32 in the form of a solar cell, is arranged in the first cavity 10. The solar cell is oriented such that a user standing at the first surface I of the first pane 2 can point the lamp 102 of his reading device at the solar cell in order to then receive data from the component 30 by means of radio transmission.
