System and method for identifying and distinguishing materials, method for identifying or distinguishing materials, and measuring device for recording material properties of materials
First Claim
1. A method for identifying or discriminating materials with a system having at least one local unit, with each local unit having at least one measuring device for detecting at least one respective actual signature for the materials, the method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring the actual signature among a first quantity k of different measured values of a to be determined material by at least one user of a local unit of the system;
providing a request of the at least one user to an operator of a center of the system, wherein with the request is the actual signature transmitted;
storing the actual signature, provided by the at least one user, in non-volatile memory on a server of the center;
creating a derived target signature from each of a plurality of correlations of at least one target material to the actual signature, wherein the plurality of correlations relate to an extended signature of the target material and wherein the extended signature consists of a second quantity n of different measured values and the second quantity n is greater than or equal to the first quantity k;
calculating a deviation of each of the actual signatures for the material from the derived target signature for the at least one target material; and
,reporting to the requesting user, for which target materials the respective deviation of the to be determined material, based on the at least one target material, is less than one for a target material defined tolerance.

Abstract
A system for identifying or distinguishing materials, comprising at least one local apparatus and a central station. Each local apparatus comprises at least one measuring device for recording at least one actual signature for materials each and at least one local computer communicatively connected to the at least one measuring device, the at least one local computer having a local database for storing and/or processing the actual signature. The at least one central station comprises a server having a central database for storing and/or processing the actual signatures of the local apparatus. Furthermore, the system comprises a network, which communicatively connects the local computers of the local units via the server of the center. The invention further relates to a corresponding method for operating a system, to an analysis method for identifying or distinguishing the materials, and to a measuring device for recording material properties of the materials.

7. A method for identifying or discriminating of materials, comprising the steps of:
-
selecting I measurement methods from m different measurement methods, wherein the number I is less or equal to m measurement methods; measuring an actual signature of a material by means of a measuring device for executing the I different measurement methods; generating a derived actual signature for each measured actual signature of the material from at least one associated correlation of at least one target material to the actual signature; determining a deviation per derived actual signatures of the material of a respective derived target signature of the at least one target material; comparing each deviation with a tolerance specified for the respective target material; and outputting for which target materials the respective deviation between the target material and material is less than the tolerance of the respective target material. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
