Abstract

Anordnung und Verfahren zur Speicherung von Daten über eine Benutzung eines Endgerätes, wobei ein Benutzungsspeicher (16) für gespeicherte Benutzungsdaten mit dem Mikroprozessor (6) verbunden ist, welcher programmiert ist:

  • zum Vergleich aktueller Benutzungsdaten mit den bereits abgespeicherten Benutzungsdaten,
  • Zur Abspeicherung eines neuen Datensatzes mit Benutzungsdaten im Benutzungsspeicher in historischer Reihenfolge entsprechend der Benutzung, wenn diese Benutzungsdaten gegenüber den im vorangehend abgespeicherten Datensatz gespeicherten Benutzungsdaten verändert oder ungleichartig sind,
  • zur Bildung eines Zählers für Benutzungsdaten,
  • zur Inkrementierung des Zählers und Ersetzen entsprechender Daten eines bereits abgespeicherten Datensatzes durch neue Daten, welche den inkrementierten Zählerstand wiederspiegeln, wenn die aktuellen Benutzungsdaten gegenüber dem bereits abgespeicherten Datensatz unverändert oder gleich sind, sowie
  • zur Datenübertragung vom Benutzungsspeicher (16) zu einem entfernten Speicher (31) zwecks Auswertung der Benutzungsdaten und
  • zur Neuinitialisierung des Benutzungsspeichers (16) zwecks Wiederherstellung einer vorbestimmten Speicherkapazität im Benutzungsspeicher (16) nachdem die Datenübertragung erfolgt ist.
Figure 00000001
Arrangement and method for storing data on the use of a terminal, a usage memory (16) for stored usage data being connected to the microprocessor (6), which is programmed:
  • for comparison of current usage data with the usage data already stored,
  • To store a new data record with usage data in the usage memory in historical order according to usage, if these usage data are changed or different from the usage data stored in the previously saved data record,
  • to form a counter for usage data,
  • for incrementing the counter and replacing the corresponding data of an already stored data record with new data which reflect the incremented counter reading if the current usage data are unchanged or the same as the already stored data record, and
  • for data transmission from the user memory (16) to a remote memory (31) for the purpose of evaluating the user data and
  • for reinitializing the usage memory (16) for the purpose of restoring a predetermined storage capacity in the usage memory (16) after the data transmission has taken place.
