Description
Technical Field
The present subject matter relates generally to a vehicle. The present subject matter relates particularly, but not exclusively, to a vehicle anti-theft system for a vehicle.
Background
Anti-theft devices in vehicles typically include Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) devices for tracking stolen vehicles, and cellular systems are used to send location information to vehicle owners. Further, GPS (global positioning system) is used as a device for identifying a vehicle position, for tracking a vehicle, and also as a part of a security system for a vehicle.
Anti-theft devices in vehicles must monitor sensors for detecting theft scenarios, such as lifting, tampering, removing vehicle components, towing, etc. Furthermore, they require the transmission of data to the user. Current systems use GNSS systems and implement various techniques, such as assisted GPS, dead reckoning, etc., to improve accuracy.

Detailed Description
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) devices provide high accuracy for detecting a position, but GNSS has drawbacks when the Global Positioning System (GPS) signal is weak, and when the position is susceptible to zero visibility, which can cause the GPS signal to be lost at, for example, tunnels, underground, etc.
Furthermore, anti-theft devices typically include one or more sensors for sensing and detecting any changes, and information is sent from several components of the vehicle to the processor, which results in an increase in computing functionality, which may lead to a decrease in device reliability. GNSS systems are implemented by various other techniques, such as assisted GPS, dead reckoning, etc., to improve accuracy. Such hybrid positioning techniques involve additional hardware and are complex. In addition, the cost of such a system is also high. It would be beneficial if the objectives of the hybrid positioning technique could be achieved with a reduced number of components.
Further, a system is provided for monitoring vehicle position and finding a current position, including a mobile in-vehicle device via short-range communication. First, a user request is received and a location is determined, and then a navigation route to the current location of the vehicle is provided to the user who sent the request. There is no system to prevent unauthorized persons from changing the position of the vehicle when the vehicle is located at a distance that the user cannot reach.
It is therefore an object of the present subject matter to provide an improved vehicle anti-theft system for a vehicle which aims to overcome the above problems and eliminate drawbacks.
Another embodiment of the present subject matter is to provide a vehicle anti-theft system for detecting the position of a vehicle from any remote location. The vehicle location may be detected by using a mobile application that communicates with a GSM/GPRS system and control system installed in the vehicle to identify and communicate information of the cell towers located in the surrounding area and send it to the user's mobile application.
Yet another embodiment of the present subject matter provides a method of finding a vehicle by visual or audible indication when the vehicle is nearby. The subject matter also provides methods for finding a vehicle at a remote location and methods for tracking the vehicle.
Another embodiment of the present subject matter provides a method of alert notification in the event that a vehicle is stolen or the vehicle is stopped from any remote location upon command and authentication of a user.
Another embodiment of the present subject matter provides a vehicle system for tracking a vehicle by utilizing surrounding cell tower information and comparing the received surrounding cell tower information to a local database to find similar information and send to a mobile application via a GSM/GPRS system by SMS.
Fig. 1 shows a block diagram of a vehicle anti-theft system (100) for a vehicle depicting an architecture used in the present subject matter, wherein a GSM/GPRS system (102) and a control system (101) are separate and provided as separate units that can be joined in order to establish communication between the GSM/GPRS system (102) and the control system (101). The power management system (105) is responsible for providing driving power to the vehicle. The power management system (105) also provides power to the vehicle anti-theft system (100). The modular approach facilitates easy replacement of the power management system (105), the controller system (101) and the GSM/GPRS system (102). A power unit (not shown), such as a battery or an engine, is responsible for providing driving power.
The architecture of the vehicle anti-theft system (100) includes a GSM/GPRS system (102) and a control system (101) that work together to communicate with mobile applications (112) and cloud servers (113). The GSM/GPRS system (102) comprises a GSM/GPRS device (109) with an identification system (108) and an integrated antenna (107). The identification system (108) is embedded with an identifier to enable storage of the identity of the vehicle user like a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card. The control system (101) comprises a microcontroller (111), a voltage level converter (110) and a first voltage regulator (114). The GSM/GPRS device (109) has a second voltage regulator (106) to regulate the voltage according to its specifications. A first voltage regulator (114) connected in the control system also regulates the voltage according to its specifications to allow the microcontroller (111) to operate normally. There is a power management system (105) responsible for switching between a main power supply (103) and a backup voltage supply (104). The power management system (105) is capable of undervoltage and overvoltage detection to switch between a primary power source (103) and a backup power source (104).
The GSM/GPRS device (109) has firmware as a Host Controller Interface (HCI). The GSM/GPRS device (109) is integrated with an antenna (107) in the GSM/GPRS system (102). The GSM/GPRS system (102) has a serial communication interface (130) for communicating with the microcontroller (111). Since the voltage levels of the control system (101) and the GSM/GPRS system (102) are different, a voltage level converter (110) is incorporated to match the voltage level of the serial communication interface (130). The software configuration of the microcontroller (111) is such that it can automatically match the baud rate with the GSM/GPRS device (109) and seamlessly initiate communication. The software unit of the microcontroller (111) verifies whether the command sent from the microcontroller (111) is correctly received.
The mobile application (112) may be stored in a user system, such as a mobile phone or any other Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or cell phone. A mobile application (112) installed in a handset may communicate directly with an anti-theft device having a GSM/GPRS system via call, SMS, packet Data Protocol (PDP) messages. The mobile application (112) may also communicate with the cloud server (113) via any PDP message. Typically, HTTP-based communication is used.
The cloud server (113) has the necessary databases to address queries of the mobile application (112) or the GSM/GPRS system (102). In another embodiment, the cloud server (113) may additionally perform predefined routines or calculations necessary at the user's end.
To find a vehicle when the vehicle is in the vicinity, an input button is pressed to provide in the mobile application (112), or input may be provided by giving a voice command to find a vehicle. After a user request, such as a call/SMS (short message service)/PDP (packet data protocol) message, is given, the user request is initiated from the mobile application (112). The GSM/GPRS system (102) then informs the microcontroller (111) of the incoming call from the user's mobile application (112), and the microcontroller (111) then verifies whether the user is authentic and, after the authentication process has succeeded, activates one or both of the turn signal lights, visual indications and/or horn, audio indications with the aid of the driver circuitry provided in the vehicle.
When the vehicle is not nearby or within the range of the signal sent by the user, then the positioning of the vehicle is achieved by indirect communication between the GSM/GPRS device (109) and the mobile communication, which is achieved using the information of the cell tower. To initiate communication between the GSM/GPRS device (109) and the mobile application (112), voice commands are provided using input buttons provided in the mobile application (112) or by a user of the mobile application (112). A GSM/GSRM device (109) in the GSM/GPRS system (102) informs the microcontroller (111) of incoming call/SMS/PDP messages and dialer numbers, which are then recognized by the microcontroller (111).
After successful authentication of the mobile application by using the dialer number, the microcontroller queries the GSM/GPRS device (109) for a cell tower located around. Information about surrounding cell towers is collected and sent to the GSM/GPRS device (109), and the collected data is sent to the microcontroller (111) for comparison with data stored in the cloud server (113). If the data received from the cell tower matches (113) the data stored in the cloud server, an SMS/PDP message is sent to the mobile application (112) and displayed to the user. The mobile application (112) decodes the message sent by the GSM/GPRS device (109) and displays the coordinates of where the vehicle is located to the nearest cell tower on a map.
When the database of cell tower information is a cloud server, then the controller, after authenticating a request from the user's mobile application (112), the GSM/GPRS device (109) gathers information about surrounding cell towers information and the gathered information about surrounding cell towers is then sent to the user's handheld device where the mobile application (112) is installed. The mobile application (112) then transmits information about the surrounding cell towers to the cloud server (113), and the cloud server (113) transmits coordinates on the map, which are displayed in the user's handheld device in which the mobile application (112) is installed.
When the database of cell tower information is a user handset, the mobile application (112) is installed on the user handset. After identification and authentication of the user's mobile application (112), the microcontroller (111) requests information of surrounding cell towers from the GSM/GPRS device (109). The GSM/GPRS device (109) returns information about the surrounding cell towers to the owner's mobile device (the handheld device with the mobile application (112) installed). The mobile application (112) compares the information received from the GSM/GPRS device (109) with a local database and if a match is found, displays the coordinates on a map.
In another embodiment, the controller identifies the user of the mobile application (112) from which the call/SMS/PDP message was received. After identifying and authenticating the user, the controller then requests information relating to the surrounding cell towers from the GSM/GPRS device (109). The GSM/GPRS device (109) also receives the coordinate information and then transmits the coordinate information to the mobile device and the coordinates are displayed on the map.
Similarly, to obtain location details of the vehicle, a tracking mode is selected in the mobile application, which allows continuous tracking of the current location of the vehicle. The voice command is provided using an input button provided in the mobile application or by a user of the mobile application. A GSM/GSRM device (109) in the GSM/GPRS system notifies the microcontroller of incoming call/SMS/PDP messages and dialing numbers, which are then recognized by the microcontroller (111). Tracking of the vehicle may also be performed when a mobile application installed in the handset acts as a database. After identification and authentication of the user/mobile application (112) for vehicle tracking, the microcontroller (111) requests surrounding cell tower information from the GSM/GPRS device (109). After receiving the cell tower information, the microcontroller (111) compares it with the information stored in the cloud server (113) and if a match is found, sends an SMS/PDP message to the mobile application (112) stored in the user's handheld device or Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). The microcontroller (111) continues to repeat the same process. After the user issues a command to the microcontroller (111) to stop sending tracking information, the microcontroller (111) stops sending messages about the updated location.
After successful authentication of the mobile application by using the dialer number, the microcontroller (111) queries the GSM/GPRS device (109) for a cell tower located around. Information about surrounding cell towers is collected and sent to the GSM/GPRS device (109), and the collected data is sent to the controller for comparison with data stored in the cloud server (113). If the data received from the cell tower matches the data stored in the cloud server, an SMS/PDP message is sent to the mobile application and displayed to the user on the handheld device running the mobile application (112). The mobile application (112) decodes the message sent by the GSM/GPRS device (109) and displays the coordinates of where the vehicle is located to the nearest cell tower on a map. In order to give a continuous position of the vehicle, the microcontroller (111) connected to the vehicle control unit repeats the process after a predetermined time, which may be preprogrammed or set by the user. After the microcontroller (111) receives information from the mobile application (112) to stop the process, data transmission to the mobile application (112) is stopped.
The present subject matter may be used to disable movement of a vehicle when the vehicle is not authorized for use. The voice command is provided using an input button provided in the mobile application corresponding to disabling the vehicle from moving, or by a user of the mobile application. A GSM/GSRM device (109) in the GSM/GPRS system notifies a microcontroller (111) of an incoming call/SMS/PDP message and a dialer number, then the dialer number is recognized by the controller, and after a user is successfully authenticated, the microcontroller (111) performs a security check process based on vehicle data and the current state of the vehicle. The condition for turning off the vehicle is that the speed should be low, preferably 5 km per hour or less, and if the speed criterion is satisfied, the vehicle is turned off and power is supplied to a vehicle control unit such as TCI (transistor control unit) to prevent further use of the vehicle. The vehicle control unit is also connected to one or more sensors for receiving parameters related to the vehicle, such as a speed sensor. Furthermore, if the vehicle owner wants to restart the vehicle again, the controller moves the vehicle when a call/SMS/PDP message from the vehicle owner containing a message to move the vehicle arrives at the GSM/GPRS device (109).
In another embodiment of the present subject matter, the GSM/GPRS system (102) and the control system (101) may additionally be combined together as a single unit (see fig. 2-5). Fig. 2 depicts an architecture of the present subject matter in which an apparatus for integrating a GPS system (201) is provided. With this arrangement, the GPS system (201) can be integrated as a separate unit that receives power from the current configuration including the primary power source (103), the backup voltage source (104), and the power management system (105). The GPS system (201) may communicate with the microcontroller (111) via serial communication. With this configuration, the accuracy of the antitheft system can be improved. Once the GPS system (201) is integrated, the controller may be firmware updated over the air to integrate the mode of operation using the GPS system (201).
FIG. 3 depicts another embodiment of the present subject matter in which mobile application (112) is replaced by a web application (301) that runs on a browser and that can perform all of the functions of mobile application (112). Thus, a personal computer with an internet appliance may be used to find and track vehicles, and may disable the vehicles from moving.
Fig. 4 depicts another embodiment of the present subject matter in which an external storage device (401) is used to store information for the cell tower. The data stored in the external storage device (401) may be updated at system run-time or by removing the external storage device (401) and updating the data stored in the external storage device (401) with new data.
Fig. 5 depicts another embodiment of the present subject matter in which an accelerometer sensor (501) and a vehicle interface (502) have been connected to a vehicle anti-theft system (100) to provide an alarm function. The accelerometer sensor (501) is a nine-axis accelerometer for accurately finding the direction and orientation of the vehicle. The vehicle interface (502) provides vehicle data to the vehicle anti-theft system (100), such as speed sensor values from a speed sensor, battery voltage from a battery, fuel level, ignition on/off status and other parameters from Controlled Area Network (CAN) communications, and a side stand foot switch status from a side stand foot. Accelerometers are used to detect lift and fall of the vehicle. When a vehicle lift is detected, the controller prompts the user. The prompting may be by SMS/call/PDP message. Accelerometer sensors are also used with positioning techniques to assist in the case of poor signal strength through dead reckoning. When a fall is detected in a vehicle running state, an alarm message is sent to the server. The alert message contains a time stamp and the location of the vehicle. The server then initiates an emergency call to the nearest hospital and shares the location and timestamp of the vehicle fall. Since the location and time stamp are shared to emergency response units, such as hospitals, emergency services or close partners can arrive faster to assist. When the vehicle is towed with the ignition off, the user receives an alert message when the vehicle moves beyond a certain threshold distance set by the user. An algorithm runs on a server that monitors the distance between the user's location and the vehicle. The algorithm also has parameters that determine the type of fence that needs to be employed so that it takes into account user movements, perimeter around the vehicle, shape of perimeter, etc.
When the vehicle battery is removed, the user receives an alert message/call/PDP message. After the battery is removed for a period of time, the user begins to receive calls. This call may originate from the GSM/GPRS system in the vehicle or from a cloud server (113). When the battery is connected again, the default state will be restored.
The vehicle data is transmitted to the server at specific time intervals decided by the user. The fields in the dataset are divided into a transient field and an accumulated field. Any of the fields may be configured as a transient period and an accumulation field. The fields configured as transient fields are sampled at the instants of transmission of the data set. The fields configured as accumulated fields are accumulated over a time interval and sent to the server. By means of the data received at the server side, the user receives a behavior analysis report in the mobile application. The behavior analysis includes information such as sudden acceleration, sudden braking, etc. By means of the vehicle data received at the server side, the instantaneous mileage as well as the mileage in different time periods is calculated. The relationship between driving patterns and mileage is also provided to the user.
Fig. 6 shows a vehicle position detection method when the vehicle is located within a predetermined distance from the user system. In step 601, a user sends a request from a user system, such as a handheld device supporting a mobile application (112) or web browser (301). In step 602, a user request is sent to the microcontroller (111) through the GSM/GPRS device (109) equipped with the antenna (107). In step 603, the microcontroller (111) checks the authentication of the user. After successful completion of the authentication, the microcontroller (111) then activates the turn signal lamp and/or the horn by the vehicle control unit in step 604.
Fig. 7 illustrates a method of the vehicle position detection and locking mechanism when the vehicle is within the cell radius of any cell tower in the vicinity of the vehicle. In step 702, a user sends a request from a user system, such as a handheld device supporting a mobile application (112) or web browser (301). In step 703, a user request is sent to the microcontroller (111) through the GSM/GPRS device (109) equipped with the antenna (107). In step 704, the microcontroller (111) checks the authentication of the user. When the vehicle is within the cell radius of one or more cell towers, then in step 706, the GSM/GPRS (109) device receives one or more cell tower data when the vehicle is within the cell radius of any nearest cell tower. A database stored in a cloud server (113) or user system is compared to the user request. When the information requested by the user matches the data in step 706a, the speed of the vehicle is checked in step 707, and if the speed of the vehicle is less than a predetermined speed (the predetermined speed may be set by the user), the vehicle control unit, such as TCI (transistor controlled ignition), indirect-direct injection system, capacitive Discharge Ignition (CDI) in the case of an internal combustion engine, and Engine Control Unit (ECU), battery Control Unit (BCU) in the case of a hybrid or electric vehicle, is actuated in step 708 to disconnect the power unit of the vehicle, and when the speed is greater than the predetermined speed, no action is taken in step 709. But when the speed of the vehicle is again below the predetermined speed, the vehicle power unit is disconnected.
Many modifications and variations of the present subject matter are possible in light of the above disclosure. Therefore, within the scope of the claims of the present subject matter, the present disclosure may be practiced other than as specifically described.
