Abstract

A bicycle servicing system includes: a transceiver device for arrangement on a bicycle; a bicycle data processing device arranged on the bicycle and connected with the transceiver device; a stationary data processing device for processing bicycle- and/or cyclist-specific data received from the transceiver device, the data processing device being adapted to be in communication with the transceiver device via mobile data transmission; and a data output device for outputting data transmitted from the data processing device, the data output device being adapted to be in communication with the data processing device via mobile data transmission, and/or a further data processing device for further processing of the data transmitted from the data processing device, the further data processing device being adapted to be in communication with the data processing device via data transmission.

Claims

1. :

A bicycle servicing system, comprising;

a transceiver device for arrangement on a bicycle;

a bicycle data processing device arranged on the bicycle and connected with the transceiver device;

a stationary data processing device for processing bicycle- and/or cyclist-specific data received from the transceiver device, the data processing device being adapted to be in communication with the transceiver device via mobile data transmission; and

a data output device for outputting data transmitted from the data processing device, the data output device being adapted to be in communication with the data processing device via mobile data transmission, and/or

a further data processing device for further processing of the data transmitted from the data processing device, the further data processing device being adapted to be in communication with the data processing device via data transmission.

2. :

The bicycle servicing system of claim 1, wherein the transceiver device comprises a Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) modem for transmitting and receiving data to and from the stationary data processing device.

3. :

The bicycle servicing system of claim 1, wherein the transceiver device and the bicycle data processing device comprise a power source.

4. :

The bicycle servicing system of claim 1, wherein the transceiver device comprises a Global Positioning System (GSM) module or is connected with a GPS module.

5. :

The bicycle servicing system of claim 1, wherein the bicycle data processing device is connected with sensors to be arranged on the bicycle for obtaining bicycle-specific data and/or with sensors to be arranged on a cyclist for obtaining cyclist-specific data.

6. :

A bicycle servicing method, comprising;

obtaining bicycle-specific and/or cyclist-specific data via sensors arranged on a bicycle frame and/or a cyclist;

transmitting the data to a bicycle data processing device;

transmitting the data via a transceiver device by mobile data transmission to a stationary data processing device, the transceiver device being connected with the bicycle data processing device;

transmitting the data processed by the stationary data processing device to a data output device by mobile data transmission and/or to a further data processing device by data transmission; and

outputting the data via the data output device or processing the data further by the further data processing device.

7. :

The bicycle servicing method of claim 6, wherein the data transmitted by the transceiver device to the stationary data processing device includes geo data, speed data and/or pedal crank data.

8. :

The bicycle servicing method of claim 6, wherein the stationary data processing device transmits data regarding maintenance to be performed on the bicycle to the data output device based on the data received from the transceiver.

9. :

The bicycle servicing method of claim 6, wherein the data acquisition and/or the data processing and/or the data transmission are started automatically when the bicycle is moved.

10. :

The bicycle servicing method of claim 6, wherein an emergency call is issued in response to data related to a fall being detected by the bicycle data processing device.

11. :

A bicycle, comprising;

the bicycle data processing device; and

the transceiver for performing the bicycle servicing method of claim 6.

12. :

The bicycle of claim 11, wherein the transceiver device and/or the bicycle data processing device are at least partly integrated in the bicycle frame.

13. :

The bicycle of claim 12, wherein the transceiver device is arranged in a top tube and/or a seat tube and/or a connecting element connecting the top tube and the seat tube.
