Abstract

A vehicle security device has two parts A, B. Part A is an RF transmitter to be worn or carried by the vehicle operator, and electronically communicates with part B which is mounted on the vehicle. Part B inhibits 6 use of the vehicle in the absence of part A. Inhibition also takes place if the vehicle has been left unattended with the key in the ignition and engine running, or if movement of the vehicle is detected 5 in the absence of part A. A time delay may be incorporated.

Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1>
The description: Electronic Vehicle Anti-Snatch and Anti Hi-Jack Security Device This invention relates to an innovation and improvement in vehicle security.
The object of this invention is to eliminate the opportunist crime of vehicle snatching and the planned crime of hijacking. Whereas the intention of alarms and immobilisers, is to prevent unattended theft.
Accordingly this invention provides for two device's (Part A)- (l), a personally carried or body worn, logic controlled, low powered radio frequency transmitter sending an identifying signal. The device cycling a transmission from a pre-programmed encoder and producing an encrypted coded signal.
This signal is continuously decoded and monitored by (Part B), a vehicular mounted device consisting of, a radio receiver (2), a signal decoding circuit (3), and a logic control (4), which will decode the transmission from (Part A) using the encrypted code. If the code is not received or is rejected by the vehicle-mounted unit, it will totally inhibit the vehicles use, if a third party attempts to drive the vehicle, without the proximity of (Part A).
One method of verifying the transmission from (Part A) to (Part B) is via Hamming codes and rejecting transmissions containing coding errors.
(Inhibit (Part B)- (6) is equivalent to Thatcham Category Two Standards. ) It is intended to approach the V. S. I. B. to obtain a classification for this product.
The timing of the inhibiting logic is programmable to the end-user's specification, dependant on the circumstances of use: The timing can be set as an immediate response where the vehicle driver has left the vehicle running with keys in the ignition and an opportunist crime occurs.
The timing can also be programmed for a longer duration to reduce the risk of a driver being hurt whilst being removed from a vehicle under duress and escape time is required.
When for example a hi-jack has occurred and the vehicular mounted receiver (Part B) has been out of range of (Part A) for the pre-set period of time and motion is detected, a command from the logic control (Part B)- (4) will instruct (Part B)- (6) to disable the vehicle.
<Desc/Clms Page number 2>
(Continued from page 1) The receiver is considered to be out of range of (Part A) when the signal decoder contained in (Part B) cannot validate the integrity of the identifying signal.
The sensing of the vehicle movement, in the original version, will be by the way of sensing the electronic pulses derived from the transmission and used for the speedometer (Part B)- (5). Other means of sensing can be derived from various sources such as, increases in tick-over battery voltage, movement sensors, wheel rotation sensors and accelerometers.
The identifying signal from (Part A) and the signal decoding (Part B)- (3) will generally use a code unique to each vehicle.
The vehicle-mounted device (Part B) will also contain an override socket for use if (Part A) is mislaid. Over-ride plugs will contain a uniquely numbered microchip. The vehicle-mounted device (Part B) has been designed to accept two of these uniquely coded microchips.

Claims (6)

  1. The claims: 1. That the vehicle mounted device (Part B) will totally inhibit the use of the vehicle without the close proximity of the identification device (Part A).
  2. 2. That the vehicle mounted device (Part B) will and stop and inhibit the use of the vehicle within the pre-programmed time requested by the end-user, when the identification device (Part A) has been removed.
  3. 3. That the vehicle mounted device (Part B) will stop and inhibit the use of the vehicle, even if the keys are in the ignition and the engine is running, when the identification device (Part A) has been removed.
  4. 4. Once a vehicle has been driven off with the identification device (Part A) on- board and after a pre-determined programmable number of cycles, the vehicle device (Part B) will consider the journey valid and stop checking. The validation sequence will then be repeated by (Part B), each and every time the vehicle comes to a stop.
  5. 5. Should the vehicle device (Part B) and the identification device (Part A) be stolen together, a special device will be available to the"Authorities"to use within close proximity of the vehicle. Using a special embedded code in (Part B) and using a specially designed transmitter having the ability to send the special embedded code, activation of the special code will have the ability to over-ride (Part A) and disable the offending vehicle.
  6. 6. The matching units (Part A) and (Part B) are totally programmable and can be set to any one of more than 4,000, 000,000 codes.
