Abstract

The invention relates to a system and a method for automatically transmitting at least one message via at least one mobile radio network to at least one mobile radio device, including at least one detecting device disposed at an entrance to an institution, which is configured to detect passage of the entrance by a user of the mobile radio device as a result of an interaction of an entrance element of the user with the detecting device independent of a mobile radio network and to communicate at least one triggering signal as a result of detection of the passage, and including a transmitting device coupled to the detecting device, which is configured to receive the triggering signal and to communicate the at least one message to the mobile radio device as a result of the reception of the triggering signal.

Claims

1. A system for automatically transmitting at least one message via at least one mobile radio network to at least one mobile radio device, the system including at least one detecting device disposed at an entrance to an institution, which is the detecting device configured to detect passage of the entrance by a user of the mobile radio device as a result of an interaction of an entrance element of the user with the detecting device independent of a mobile radio network and to communicate at least one triggering signal as a result of the detection of the passage, the system further including a transmitting device coupled to the detecting device, which is configured to receive the triggering signal and to communicate the at least one message to the mobile radio device as a result of reception of the triggering signal.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the entrance element (24) is an entrance ticket (24) formed from paper and/or plastic.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the entrance element and the detecting device are configured to interact with each other via electromagnetic waves for detecting the passage of the entrance.

4. The system according to claim 3, wherein the entrance element includes at least one RFID chip for interacting with the detecting device via electromagnetic waves.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein the entrance element and the detecting device are configured to interact with each other such that the entrance element can be at least partially introduced into a receiving opening of the detecting device.

6. The system according to claim 1, wherein the entrance element has at least one optically detectable pattern, wherein the detecting device includes at least one optical detecting means, by means of which the optical pattern of the entrance element can be detected for interaction of the detecting device with the entrance element.

7. The system according to claim 1, wherein the system includes at least one further detecting device, wherein the further detecting device and the mobile radio device are configured to determine a relative position of the mobile radio device to the institution by means of a positioning system.

8. The system according to claim 7, wherein the positioning system is a satellite-based positioning system.

9. A method for automatically transmitting at least one message via at least one mobile radio network to at least one mobile radio device, including the steps of:

detecting passage of an entrance to an institution by a user of the mobile radio device by means of a detecting device disposed at the entrance as a result of an interaction of an entrance element of the user with the detecting device independent of a mobile radio network,

transmitting at least one triggering signal by means of the detecting device as a result of the detection of the passage,

receiving the triggering signal by a transmitting device coupled to the detecting device, and

transmitting the at least one message to the mobile radio device by means of the transmitting device as a result of the reception of the triggering signal.

10. The method according to claim 9, wherein at least one message is communicated depending on at least one presettable, user-specific specification.

11. The method according to claim 9, wherein at least one further message is communicated to the mobile radio device via the mobile radio network.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein at least one further message is communicated depending on the time and/or on a position of the mobile radio device relative to the institution.

13. The method according to claim 9, wherein the communication of messages via mobile radio to the mobile radio device is terminated depending on a position of the mobile radio device relative to the institution.

14. The method according to claim 13, wherein the communication of messages is terminated if a distance of the mobile radio device from the institution exceeds a presettable threshold value.

15. The method according to claim 9, wherein the communication of messages via mobile radio to the mobile radio device is terminated depending on the time.
