First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for automatic detection of the use with costs of a transport means, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing at least one transmitter being arranged in an area of said transport means;
emitting signals by the transmitter at a constant intensity, the signals including position or movement-related data of said transport means as well as an identification of said transport means;
providing at least one receiver being integrated in a user terminal of a user;
receiving the emitted signals by the receiver of the user terminal;
determining position or movement information of said transport means with said user terminal based on evaluating the position and movement-related data in the emitted signals in the user terminal; and
detecting of the use of said transport means based on analyzing a change in intensity of successive signals emitted by the transmitter and received by the receiver as well as said determined position or movement information with the user terminal.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for automatically detecting the use of a means of transport (10; 16) conveying persons. According to said method, a transmitter emits signals, a receiver receives signals emitted by the transmitter, positional and/or movement-related data of the means of transport are determined, and the use of the means of transport is detected based on an evaluation of the change in intensity of successive signals received by the receiver as well as the positional and/or movement-related data.

11. A method for automatic detection of the use with costs of a transport means, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing at least one transmitter being integrated in a user terminal of a user; emitting signals by the transmitter at a constant intensity, the signals comprising an identification signal that unequivocally identifies the user terminal or the user; providing at least one receiver being arranged in the area of said transport means; receiving the emitted signals by the receiver; determining position or movement information of said transport means; and detecting of the use of said transport means based on analyzing of a change in intensity of successive signals received by the receiver as well as said position or movement information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
