PROTECTION MODULE FOR MONITORING THE POSITION OF OBJECTS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for monitoring at least one object, comprising:
- a monitoring device; and
at least two protection modules, each protection module being configured for attachment to at least one object to be monitored, and comprising a location module for determining position data and for transmitting position data to the monitoring device,wherein the monitoring device places at least one of the protection modules into an alarm state in case of a deviation of at least one of the received position data from each other or from deviation of predetermined position data by more than a predetermined value.

Abstract
A protection module, a system and a method for monitoring objects, wherein a protection module includes, for attachment to an object to be monitored, a locating module for acquiring position data of the protection module and a communication unit which can send data to a monitoring device. The protection module is suitable for being placed into an alarm state by an alarm signal and in the alarm state, sending position data to the monitoring device in a particular alarm interval or continuously.

18. A system for monitoring at least two objects, comprising:
-
a monitoring device; a first protection module for the attachment to a first object to be monitored, wherein the first protection module comprises a location module for determining position data, wherein the first protection module can be set into an alarm state and is adapted to transmit the determined position data to the monitoring device, wherein the first protection module transmits its position data to the monitoring device in either a predetermined alarm interval or continuously; and a second protection module for the attachment to a second object to be monitored, wherein the second protection module comprises a location module for determining position data, wherein the second protection module can be set into an alarm state and is adapted to transmit the determined position data to the monitoring device, wherein the second protection module transmits its position data to the monitoring device in either a predetermined alarm interval or continuously, wherein the first object having the first protection module attached and the second object having the second protection module attached are separated from each other, but transported or stored together, wherein the monitoring device compares the position data from the first and second protection module relative to each other or maximum distances between the first and second protection module and activates an alarm signal if the position data deviates from predetermined position data or from maximum distances and places both the first and second protection modules into an alarm state.

19. A method for monitoring at least one object, wherein the object is provided with at least two protection modules, comprising:
-
sending position data which are determined by a locating module of each of the at least two protection modules in a particular alarm interval or continuously from each of the protection modules to a monitoring device, determining by the monitoring device, whether the received position data of the at least two protection modules deviate from each other and/or from predetermined position data by more than a predetermined value, and activating an alarm state of at least one of the protection modules.
