Cross Reference to Related Application

[0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to an Iran patent application having serial number 139850140003010683 filed on Feb. 16, 2020, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

Technical Field

[0003] The present invention relates generally to In the field of electrical engineering, security

Background Art

[0004] In the previous technical knowledge, a type of wooden lock was used in China and Egypt more than four thousand years ago. Later, with the development of industry in Europe, these locks were made of metal in a simple way and achieved more security than wooden locks. Germany had a special skill in producing delicate locks, which made the keys and moving parts of the lock very busy and the latches were very intricate. They also decorated the appearance of the locks beautifully, but at that chaotic time, there was a need for safe locks. However, little progress was made in the locks mechanism. The entanglement of the latches and the concealment of the keyhole were the only means of safety.

[0005] Differentiation with existing and registered samples:

[0006] 1. In the lock mentioned in the invention, with the declaration number 139550140003000546 and with the registration number 96001 , called the Autonomous steering wheel lock (multi-purpose controllable):

[0007] The most significant drawback in these claims is that the designed steering wheel lock covers only the circumferential part of the car steering wheel and prevents the car steering wheel from turning. Thus, the steering wheel is completely uncontrolled and this design does not provide any protection for the steering wheel. Therefore, the thief can steal the car without touching or contacting the steering wheel lock by undoing the screws in the steering wheel, releasing the steering wheel’s lock, and replacing another steering wheel. According to the next claims made by the esteemed inventor about the lock circuit’s electronic protection by the box, its lid, and screw, today with the advancement of science and with easy access to acidic and alkaline chemicals and given their corrosive power and strong solubility, the thief could destroy the electronic and mechanical part of the lock by injecting a certain amount of these materials on metals and alloys in less than a few seconds and steal the car in less than a few seconds because in these circumstances there is no possibility of informing the owner. According to his statements, the microcontroller is responsible for all control and executive actions, and if someone has contact or encounter with the steering wheel lock, then the vibration sensor is activated and the camera takes the image of the thief. Then it sends it via MMS and notifies the car owner of the theft of his car by texting messages. The problem that prevails in this situation is if the person's face is covered or he destroys the circuit by injecting acid or base on the camera lens, the notification systems will lose their efficiency and value in the circuit completely and are practically useless. This system is powered by a battery that if the battery fails for any reason, the notification operation will no longer take place, which is one of the important weaknesses in this invention. If the car is parked in a place where there is no antenna or it is not possible to send a message or call for any reason, then a professional thief can commit theft. This is also part of the weaknesses of this system and only one security solution is designed for the circuit in this invention, which is another drawback of this system.

[0008] Taking into account all security measures and finding logical and practical solutions for each of the above-mentioned weaknesses, in the invention in the lock made by me, measures have been taken which can be expressed as follows:

[0009] In my invention, there are measures for the lock safety mechanically and electronically, which prevent undoing the steering screws by installing a steering screw guard and eliminate the possibility of loosening the screws and changing the steering wheel. The next point for the electronic part to protect the circuit and the body of the lock is that by placing the acid and base sensor, electric shock system, vibration sensor, image-processing camera and LCD, it is possible when the thief is masked or attempts to steal again, according to the previous definition for the circuit, if a person's face is detected by the camera as unknown, all security and communication systems separate from the steering wheel lock and electric shock system inside the steering wheel lock is activated without touching or dealing with the steering wheel lock. Even if a threat is made by the thief by acid or base, the detection operation is performed and warning messages are sent to the security and communication systems to inform the owner of the theft of his car according to the design made in the steering wheel lock body by placing electrodes that are connected to the main circuit of the lock. The advantage of this lock is that the electric shock system is activated with or without collision with the lock. At the same time, the alarm systems separate from the lock and the system that disrupts the car's drivers, which can be hidden in 21 points of the car and prevents the car from starting, is activated and the thief escapes by hearing a loud alarm. A system called the system sensitive to the human body and external objects is designed in the steering wheel lock circuit, which activates the security and communication systems if anything close to 15 cm from the steering wheel is locked and it does not allow the thief to approach the steering wheel lock. The design in the part of the system that disrupts the car driver by a circuit starts with the Linux operating system and communicates through two Internet networks (WIFI) and the Internet of Things (data) and all the information is stored. The update and upgrade of the communication and security system and the steering wheel lock circuit that is connected to the main server are performed. Also, in places where it is not possible to connect to the Internet, the car owner is informed of the theft of his car by calling or sending a text message and all control, executive and communication actions of these systems are performed by an application designed for mobile phones. If by 1% chance the car is stolen and the car is in a situation where it is not possible to inform via SMS or telephone, then the GSM / GPS / GPRS system will use the nearest telecommunication tower to communicate its place as soon as the location is connected. The car owner can turn off the car by sending a signal and the thief can no longer steer and restart the car, while none of these benefits is seen in the above invention. The advantages of my invention include the presence of acid and base detection sensors, electric shock system, sensors sensitive to the human body and objects, image-processing camera, LCD, all of which are located inside the steering wheel lock. In case of any damage or use of chemicals, the car owner will be informed immediately without any interruption by security and communication systems that are separate from the steering wheel lock and one of the important advantages of this invention is connection to the WIFI loT. When the communication and security systems are activated, it is not possible to start the car in any way and the presence of these sensors in the circuit and systems reassures the lock security.

Summary of Invention

[0010] Autonomous steering wheel lock equipped with optical fingerprint and face recognition camera .The technical context of the designed steering wheel locks is electrical engineering, security. In previous technical knowledge, keyless steering wheel locks with high safety factor were invented. However, over time, ways to open these types of locks, problems such as forgetfulness, breaking the key or the steering wheel lock handle, opening the steering wheel, or releasing the steering wheel lock by the thieves caused their safety factor to be reduced and people to turn to the autonomous electronic locks. With the advancement of industry and technology, autonomous steering wheel lock with the ability to record and process fingerprints in the fastest possible time, detect the face of people when stealing or opening the lock, (un)lock by the Morse code in the circuit, electric shock system and sensor sensitive to human body and objects and the presence of acid and base detection sensors to counter any possible threat by acid or base and inform the exact location of the vehicle during theft offline and online to improve the security of the steering wheel lock, which could be a good alternative to locks were designed and developed. They are good alternatives for the key-locked steering wheel locks and provide ease of use and security.

Technical Problem

[0011] With the advancement of industry and technology, encrypted and key-locked locks with high safety factor were invented and gained a special place in the industry, but after a while, the tricks used to close the locks reduced their safety factor. Therefore, it was always believed that autonomous steering wheel lock with better capability and higher safety factor could be a good alternative to key- locked and encrypted locks. The technical problem that is common in key-locked and encrypted steering locks is that their safety factor is very low, and their main problem is breaking or forgetting the key or password of the lock. The purpose of inventing the autonomous steering wheel locks is to improve the safety factor of locks and eliminate problems such as breaking or forgetting the key and to make progress in electronic science and technology.

Statement of the Invention Objectives:

[0012] 1- The purpose of the invention of the designed steering wheel lock is that a person is allowed to use the lock by removing the key and inserting the optical fingerprint sensor to improve the safety factor and the speed of opening and closing the lock and reduce its operating error and the presence of Morse code and image processing camera to record images when stealing and performing the operation of opening and closing the lock. Also, a small touch screen (LCD) is employed, which acts as a smart display in the circuit to perform some actions such as application settings and also display the faces of people on the screen when using the lock, if you do not have a mobile application, which can be activated by entering a username and password, that this is an important advantage. By designing an alarm system independent of the steering lock (SIREN REMOTE) and vehicle disturbing launch system, the communication between which is done wirelessly, all these systems are activated in case of theft and cause the vehicle launch systems to be disabled. This means that the thief does not have enough time to set up and have easy and fast access to the warning and communication systems, which prevents car theft. The advantage of this system is that it is possible to restore all these actions to normal mode only by the mobile application.

[0013] 2- The next purpose of this invention is that, by putting the acid/alkaline detection system and the pressure and the impact-sensitive system as well as placing the electric shock system and the Human Body sensitivity detector in the circuit, it makes no serious threats such as pressure or damage to the body and handle of steering wheel lock by means of tools or acid/base chemicals by the thief. Using these systems in the circuit causes a dramatic increase in the security and value of the steering wheel lock and improves its safety factor and reduces the risk of vehicle theft.

[0014] 3- Another goal that is considered in this invention is that by designing an application that has been made for mobile phones, we can talk about the information of the electronic steering wheel lock system such as the amount of battery charge and limiting the number of people using the lock by the admin, as well as finding full awareness when stealing a car and locating and sending an alert message such as a text message or phone call to the car owner via Internet (WIFI) and Internet of Things (loT), and most importantly, resetting the electronic steering wheel lock circuit in the event of a system malfunction or resetting the alarm system separately from the steering wheel lock (SIREN REMOTE) and the vehicle disturbing launch system.

[0015] 4- Another purpose that is of great importance in this invention is that, by designing an artificial intelligence system with a special algorithm in the steering wheel lock circuit, it has caused the consciousness coefficient of the system to be multiplied and the owner of the lock can communicate verbally with the steering wheel lock and can also activate communication and security systems in case of any security problems and performance errors and inform the owner of the lock and notify him/her of the existing conditions. It should also communicate with police stations by sending special signals and using the tracking system in the communication circuit to inform the police of the location of the vehicle theft and prevent car theft that the implementation of these actions can be performed both offline and online.

Solution to Problem

[0016] The solution to the technical problem with old, key-locking locks is that with the advent of the autonomous steering wheel lock with the ability to record and process fingerprints, as well as identifying the face of the person allowed to use the steering wheel lock by the image processing camera, a change in the locking industry can be made and the safety and ease of use are enhanced.

[0017] In general, the circuit operates as follows:

[0018] An optical fingerprint sensor is placed in the circuit to detect the user's fingerprint and an image-processing camera to detect the faces of persons authorized to use the lock and a Morse code are inserted in the steering wheel lock circuit. When detected by one of these sensors detects properly, the DC motor is activated and the lock is unlocked, but if the fingerprint is entered more than 3 times incorrectly, the person's face recognition does not match the image recorded in the mobile application or the Morse code according to the definition, the proximity of any external objects or humans by the circuit sensitive to the human body and external objects, damage to the steering wheel lock handle and steering wheel guard, or hacking and destruction on the steering lock system circuit, according to the program, the installation of the recording and image processing camera, and the electric shock system in the locking circuit makes it possible to record the photo of the desired person in the memory placed on the board in the first place. Then the record is sent to the mobile phone application by the serial. The electric shock system is activated at the same time, the steering wheel lock body becomes a shocker, and the thief is electrocuted. After 5 minutes, the electric shock system is cut off and the lock body returns to its original state and at the same time, the lock circuit sends a frequency to the alarm system separate from the steering lock through the transmitter placed on the steering lock circuit. The alarm system starts sounding loudly and at the same time sends a signal via the WIFI module to the launcher disruptor system, disables all car launcher systems, and prevents the car from starting, which can only be reset and restored to the original state through the mobile application. Otherwise, this system cannot be manipulated in any way. A SIM 800 module is installed in the circuit that in case of car theft that inform the owner of the location and theft of his car at any time possible by making a phone call and sending a message or network connection (WIFI) and by placing the GPS / GSM / GPRS module in the circuit both online and offline. An RTC module has been installed to record the time and date of the person using the lock in the circuit. Also, a lithium polymer battery with rechargeable capacity has been installed in the circuit to start the circuit. This feature is available in the circuit both offline and online through the mobile application. It plays the role of a hidden wireless switch for us. Car starter systems can be disconnected altogether and the car can no longer move, and the car is restarted by resetting the car-starter disruptor system (such as fuel and power supply system) and returning it to the original state through the mobile application.

The following detailed description is therefore not to be taken in a limiting sense.

[0044] 1 3.7 Volt Lithium Polymer Battery (LiPo Battery):

[0045] It is responsible for maintaining the settings of the system's internal program, setting up the DC motor when unlocking and feeding the internal components (such as microcontroller and fingerprint scanner, etc.).

[0046] Capacity: 1200 mAh - with rechargeable capability.

[0047] 2- Charger Module and Battery Protector:

[0048] When charging the battery via the USB input port, the module monitors and controls the amount of current flowing through it. This module automatically disconnects the power supply and protects the battery against sudden changes in current in the circuit to prevent damage to the battery while applying improper voltage.

[0049] 3- Battery Charge Measurement Module (Power Gauge):

[0050] This module accurately measures the amount of battery charge at the moment of the call by the microcontroller. The data recorded when connecting the mobile application is displayed as a percentage.

[0051] 4 Battery Charger Module:

[0052] This module is responsible for stabilizing the voltage and controlling the current required to charge the battery. When the battery is discharged, it can be recharged by connecting the charger port (located at the bottom of the lock body).

[0053] 5 Diode Bridge:

[0054] In the design of the lock power input, a 4-pin magnetic connector is exploited to charge the battery. In the case of connecting the power cable in the wrong direction, a diode bridge is used to neutralize the input polarity that there is the possibility of charging the battery in both directions.

[0055] 6- 3.7 Volts to 3.3 Volts Converter (3v3 Regulator):

[0056] Some parts (including the fingerprint scanner, Wi-Fi module, and timer) can only be launched by applying a voltage of 3.3 volts, and applying a higher voltage will lead to the loss of these parts and modules. To prevent this occurrence and apply the appropriate voltage to the components, this regulator (voltage stabilizer) is employed.

[0057] Because the linear regulator is not used in the circuit design, energy loss is not done and generally provides a good optimization for the circuit.

[0058] 7- WIFI Module:

[0059] This multi-functional module includes a microcontroller integrated circuit and WIFI connection in the form of an 1C and is used as the core of the lock circuit.

[0060] The Wi-Fi connectivity of this module is exploited to send data (via serial port) to the mobile app and also to communicate with the vehicle starter disruptor system. Besides, the internal memory of this module is used as a microcontroller flash memory.

[0061] Note: Moreover, the Bluetooth module can be used instead of the WIFI module or both to perform this process in the lock circuit.

[0062] 8- RTC Module: (Real-Time Clock Module)

[0063] This module is used to record the current time and date of the circuit. In addition, when the user uses the system, the report of the person using the lock (along with the precise date and time) is recorded in the device memory.

[0064] This information can be accessed and used when connecting a mobile app.

[0065] 9- LED (RGB, i.e., Red, Green, and Blue):

[0066] A Super-bright tri-colour LED with the output capability of different colours has been used to display different lock positions (off, on, ready to connect, authorized entry, unauthorized entry). The user can be informed of the current status of the lock by reading the displayed colour.

[0067] Different colours have been used in the circuit to show the actions performed, such as detecting the correct or incorrect fingerprint or the device's WIFI connection to the mobile phone.

[0068] 10 Morse-Code: [0069] A Morse code is placed in the circuit to open and close the steering wheel lock, which is carried out using a special algorithm by pressing a short and long micro switch by the car owner, which is pre-defined for the circuit.

[0070] 11- Acid/Alkaline Sensor Detection System (Acid/Alkaline Sensor):

[0072] 12 FINGERPRINT Sensor:

[0073] It is an optical fingerprint scanner employed for early detection of the user's fingerprint to open and close the lock. The sensor can store more than 500 fingerprints in its internal memory.

[0074] 13 Electric Shock System (SHOCKER CIRCUIT):

[0075] An electric shocker is mounted on the circuit, which is activated during the theft of the lock, and the body of the lock and its handle become a shocker, and the thief is electrocuted.

[0076] 14 (Face Recognition & Image Capture Camera):

[0077] An image processing camera is employed to open and close the lock using face processing and recognition of the person utilizing the steering lock in the circuit. Besides, the lock is activated when the theft occurs, and the image of the thief is taken and stored in the internal memory that is placed on the mainboard.

[0078] While connecting to a mobile application, photos can be sent via the serial port or WIFI or Internet of Things (IOT).

[0079] 15- Human Body Sensitivity Detector:

[0080] A human body sensitivity detector is embedded in the locking circuit in order to activate the communication and security system when approaching any foreign object and detect it by sensors installed in the steering wheel lock circuit, which upgrades the security of the steering lock. [0081] 16- FILTERING CIRCUIT:

[0082] At the time of activating shocker system, the system causes noise and disturbance in the circuit. Since the WIFI module has an operating frequency sensitive to disturbance, the noise causes its failure. Flence, a filtering circuit is embedded in the system to prevent WIFI connection disruption and stabilize the lock circuit's operation.

[0083] 17- (SIREN REMOTE):

[0084] An external alarm system is designed separately from the lock, the transmitter part of which is placed on the mainboard and the receiver part of which can be displayed in Fig.2. When the buzzer is activated, the microcontroller sends a frequency to the receiver of the alarm system separate from the lock (siren remote) using a transmitter placed on the lock circuit and activates a separate alarm system from the lock. By creating a sound at high power, it causes the thief to escape, which can also be turned off using the remote control or through the mobile app.

[0085] 18- MECHANICAL MOTOR:

[0086] A three-volt DC motor is placed in the circuit for opening and closing the lock, which is activated and by the accuracy of the fingerprint recognition and the image processing camera and Morse code, and the lock is opened.

[0087] 19- (LCD Display):

[0088] A small touch monitor in the circuit is exploited to display images for face detection in front of the camera, as well as show the authenticity of the user's fingerprint on the screen. It can also be used as a smart display by entering the username and password of all application settings such as hardware and software if the mobile application is not included on the steering wheel lock circuit and communication and security systems in the circuit.

[0089] 20 (Vibration Detector):

[0090] A vibration sensor in the circuit is employed to upgrade the sensitivity of the steering wheel lock to any possible damage or the slightest pressure on the steering wheel handle or protector by robbers during a theft. [0091] 21- 12V DC Car Battery (DC):

[0092] It is the power supply of the alarm system and the communication system separating from the steering lock, which can be operated continuously and without interruption in this way.

[0093] 22- Rechargeable Three Cell (12 v) Lithium Polymer Battery:

[0094] The battery is embedded as a backup battery in the alarm system and communication system separate from the steering lock, which prevents the failure of the alarm system and communication system at the time of power outage as an alternative energy source.

[0095] 23- Battery Charger: By connecting to the car battery, the battery is constantly charging. By putting the battery protector in the circuit when the battery is fully charged, the charging operation is automatically cut off so that the damage to the battery is prevented.

[0096] 24- Alarm System Receiver: This part is responsible for receiving the alarm activation code from the lock and sends data between these two parts, the transmitter part of which is on the lock circuit and the receiver is inside the alarm system circuit.

[0097] 25- VOICE AMPLIFICATION MODULE:

[0098] It causes the voice amplification and generates a high-power voice while sounding the siren.
