La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'authentification des plaques minéralogiques des véhicules.The present invention relates to a device for authenticating vehicle number plates.
Afin d'être identifié, la quasi-majorité des véhicules doit être équipée d'une ou deux plaques minéralogiques (ou plaques d'immatriculations) comportant une série de chiffres et de lettres appelée numéro d'immatriculation.In order to be identified, almost the majority of vehicles must be equipped with one or two number plates (or number plates) comprising a series of numbers and letters called registration number.
Les plaques de type connu sont généralement réalisées en métal, le numéro d'immatriculation étant imprimé sur la dite plaque par une opération d'emboutissage.The plates of known type are generally made of metal, the registration number being printed on said plate by a stamping operation.
Ces plaques, dont les caractéristiques sont imposées par la législation, sont cependant aisément falsifiables et leur contrôle par le personnel habilité est fastidieux.These plates, the characteristics of which are imposed by legislation, are however easily falsifiable and their control by authorized personnel is tedious.
En effet, le contrôleur (police, douane, service des Mines...) doit relever la plaque d'un véhicule et vérifier, auprès d'un fichier central, si celle-ci correspond bien au véhicule sur laquelle elle est apposée.Indeed, the controller (police, customs, mining service ...) must raise the plate of a vehicle and check, with a central file, if it corresponds to the vehicle on which it is affixed.
Cette opération de vérification est longue et complexe puisque faisant appel à différents intervenants ainsi qu'à un fichier centralisé et distant des lieux de contrôle.This verification operation is long and complex since it calls on different parties as well as a centralized file remote from the control places.
Dans ce contexte, la présente invention pallie les inconvénients de l'art antérieur en proposant un dispositif permettant d'authentifier de manière aisée et rapide les plaques d'immatriculation apposées sur les véhicules de toutes sortes.In this context, the present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a device making it possible to authenticate easy and quick license plates affixed to vehicles of all kinds.
A cette fin, selon l'invention, le dispositif d'authentification d'une plaque minéralogique de véhicule est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un élément support apte à être fixé et/ou intégré à ladite plaque minéralogique, ledit élément support comportant des informations, relatives au véhicule et/ou à l'utilisation dudit véhicule, aptes à être lues par des moyens de lecture.To this end, according to the invention, the device for authenticating a vehicle number plate is characterized in that it comprises a support element capable of being fixed and / or integrated into said number plate, said support element comprising information relating to the vehicle and / or the use of said vehicle, capable of being read by reading means.
Avantageusement, l'élément support est une étiquette électronique comportant un circuit intégré relié à une antenne.Advantageously, the support element is an electronic label comprising an integrated circuit connected to an antenna.
De préférence, l'étiquette électronique comporte, en outre, des moyens de protection comprenant une feuille en matériau plastique non-conducteur tel que le poly carbonate.Preferably, the electronic label further comprises protection means comprising a sheet of non-conductive plastic material such as poly carbonate.
Selon une forme préférée de réalisation, l'étiquette électronique comporte des moyens d'isolation, comprenant une feuille en matériau isolant, conformés de manière à rendre la fixation de l'élément support sur la plaque minéralogique inamovible sans provoquer l'altération dudit élément support.According to a preferred embodiment, the electronic label comprises insulation means, comprising a sheet of insulating material, shaped so as to make the fixing of the support element on the license plate irremovable without causing the alteration of said support element .
Selon le mode de réalisation, le circuit intégré est du type à lecture seule ou à lecture et écriture.Depending on the embodiment, the integrated circuit is of the read-only or read-write type.
L'invention concerne également une plaque minéralogique caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte un dispositif d'authentification conforme à l'invention, ainsi qu'un ensemble constitué d'un dispositif selon l'invention associé à des moyens de lecture du type lecteur portable. Avantageusement, le lecteur portable comprend une antenne ainsi que des moyens électroniques de gestion.The invention also relates to a license plate characterized in that it comprises an authentication device according to the invention, as well as an assembly consisting of a device according to the invention associated with reading means of the portable reader type. . Advantageously, the portable reader comprises an antenna as well as electronic management means.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lumière de la description qui suit, se rapportant à un exemple de réalisation illustratif mais en aucun cas limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :The invention will be better understood in the light of the description which follows, relating to an illustrative embodiment but in no way limiting, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue d'ensemble du dispositif d'authentification pour plaques minéralogiques selon l'invention ;- Figure 1 is an overview of the authentication device for number plates according to the invention;
la figure 2 est une vue de détails en perspective éclatée de l'invention ;Figure 2 is an exploded perspective detail view of the invention;
la figure 3 est une vue d'une variante de réalisation des moyens de lecture de l'invention.Figure 3 is a view of an alternative embodiment of the reading means of the invention.
Dans la description qui suit, on entend par plaque minéralogique ou plaque d'immatriculation, une plaque sensiblement carré ou rectangulaire comportant un numéro d'immatriculation collé ou embouti sur ladite plaque et équipant, de façon connue, tout type de véhicule tel que camion, automobile, moto, etc.. En règle générale, et c'est le cas envisagé ici, les plaques d'immatriculation sont réalisées en métal.In the following description, the term “license plate” or “license plate” is understood to mean a substantially square or rectangular plate comprising a registration number affixed or stamped on said plate and equipping, in known manner, any type of vehicle such as a truck, automobile, motorcycle, etc. As a general rule, and this is the case envisaged here, the license plates are made of metal.
La figure 1 représente en perspective une plaque d'immatriculation 1 équipée d'un dispositif d'authentification 2 selon l'invention.Figure 1 shows in perspective a license plate 1 equipped with an authentication device 2 according to the invention.
Ledit dispositif d'authentification 2 comporte un élément support tel qu'une étiquette électronique pouvant être fixée ou intégrée à la plaque d'immatriculation 1 , soit pendant, soit après la fabrication de ladite plaque d'immatriculation 1. L'étiquette électronique 2 est apte à contenir des informations relatives au véhicule équipé de la plaque d'immatriculation 1 et/ou à l'utilisation dudit véhicule.Said authentication device 2 comprises a support element such as an electronic label which can be fixed or integrated into the license plate 1, either during or after the manufacture of said license plate 1. The electronic label 2 is capable of containing information relating to the vehicle equipped with the registration plate 1 and / or to the use of said vehicle.
Les informations stockées sur l'élément support 2 sont aptes à être lues par des moyens de lecture constitués, par exemple, par un lecteur portable 3 dont le fonctionnement sera décrit ultérieurement.The information stored on the support element 2 is capable of being read by reading means constituted, for example, by a portable reader 3 whose operation will be described later.
La figure 2 représente, en perspective éclatée, l'étiquette électronique 2 de l'invention.FIG. 2 represents, in exploded perspective, the electronic label 2 of the invention.
Ladite étiquette électronique 2, de forme sensiblement circulaire, comporte des moyens de stockage d'information 4 couplés à des moyens d'émission-réception 5, compris entre d'un côté, des moyens d'isolation et de fixation 6 et de l'autre, des moyens de protection 7.Said electronic label 2, of substantially circular shape, comprises information storage means 4 coupled to transmission-reception means 5, comprised between on one side, insulation and fixing means 6 and the other, means of protection 7.
Les moyens de stockage des informations 4 sont constitués d'un circuit intégré, communément appelé puce, du type à logique câblée, utilisé dans la technique des transpondeurs.The information storage means 4 consist of an integrated circuit, commonly called a chip, of the wired logic type, used in the transponder technique.
Selon une première forme de réalisation, la puce 4 est du type à lecture seule, le numéro d'identification de la puce 4 étant gravé, par exemple, par fusion laser lors de sa fabrication. Ce numéro d'identification de la puce 4 garantit ainsi son unicité.According to a first embodiment, the chip 4 is of the read-only type, the identification number of the chip 4 being engraved, for example, by laser fusion during its manufacture. This identification number of the chip 4 thus guarantees its uniqueness.
La capacité mémoire de la puce 4 (64 bits par exemple en lecture seule) lui permet de stocker un certain nombre d'informations aptes à identifier la plaque d'immatriculation 1 ainsi que le véhicule correspondant. Ces informations peuvent être par exemple la marque et le type du véhicule ainsi que son numéro de série. Selon une seconde forme de réalisation, la puce 4 est du type à lecture et écriture, conçue selon la technologie EEPROM et dotée d'une capacité mémoire de 900 bits.The memory capacity of the chip 4 (64 bits for example in read only) enables it to store a certain number of information able to identify the license plate 1 as well as the corresponding vehicle. This information can be for example the make and type of the vehicle as well as its serial number. According to a second embodiment, the chip 4 is of the read and write type, designed according to EEPROM technology and endowed with a memory capacity of 900 bits.
Cette capacité mémoire permet d'inscrire un nombre supérieur d'informations afin d'identifier et authentifier la plaque d'immatriculation 1 ainsi que le véhicule correspondant.This memory capacity makes it possible to record a greater number of information in order to identify and authenticate the license plate 1 as well as the corresponding vehicle.
Ces informations supplémentaires peuvent être, par exemple, le conducteur désigné du véhicule, ou encore des données relatives à l'état technique dudit véhicule.This additional information can be, for example, the designated driver of the vehicle, or data relating to the technical condition of said vehicle.
Le procédé de lecture et/ou d'écriture des données de la puce 4 sera vu ultérieurement, en liaison avec la figure 3.The process for reading and / or writing data from the chip 4 will be seen later, in conjunction with FIG. 3.
La puce 4 est reliée, par l'intermédiaire de deux connexions 5a, 5b, à une antenne 5 présentant une forme sensiblement annulaire d'environ 30 mm de diamètre par exemple, la puce 4 étant disposée à l'intérieur de l'anneau défini par ladite antenne 5.The chip 4 is connected, via two connections 5a, 5b, to an antenna 5 having a substantially annular shape of approximately 30 mm in diameter for example, the chip 4 being arranged inside the defined ring by said antenna 5.
L'étiquette électronique 2 comporte, en outre, des moyens d'isolation et de fixation 6 se présentant sous la forme d'un disque de diamètre sensiblement équivalent à celui de l'antenne 5.The electronic label 2 also comprises insulation and fixing means 6 in the form of a disc with a diameter substantially equivalent to that of the antenna 5.
Ces moyens d'isolation et de fixation sont réalisés à l'aide d'une feuille en matériau isolant comportant deux faces adhésives de manière à pouvoir coller la puce 4 ainsi que l'antenne 5 sur l'une des faces 6a de la feuille d'isolation 6, la seconde face 6b de la feuille d'isolation 6 étant collée sur la plaque d'immatriculation 1. La feuille d'isolation et de fixation 6 est conformée de manière à entraîner l'altération de l'étiquette électronique dans le cas où celle-ci est arrachée de la plaque d'immatriculation 1.These insulation and fixing means are produced using a sheet of insulating material comprising two adhesive faces so as to be able to stick the chip 4 as well as the antenna 5 on one of the faces 6a of the sheet d insulation 6, the second face 6b of the insulation sheet 6 being glued to the license plate 1. The insulation and fixing sheet 6 is shaped so as to cause the alteration of the electronic label in the event that it is torn from the registration plate 1.
En effet, il est possible de prévoir, par exemple, que l'arrachage de l'étiquette électronique 2 entraîne la destruction des connexions 5a, 5b reliant la puce 4 à l'antenne 5, rendant inutilisable ladite étiquette électronique 2.In fact, it is possible to provide, for example, for the removal of the electronic label 2 leading to the destruction of the connections 5a, 5b connecting the chip 4 to the antenna 5, rendering said electronic label 2 unusable.
Des moyens de protection 7 sont également prévus pour venir recouvrir la puce 4 couplée à l'antenne 5 et disposée sur la face 6a de la feuille d'isolation et de fixation 6.Protection means 7 are also provided to cover the chip 4 coupled to the antenna 5 and arranged on the face 6a of the insulation and fixing sheet 6.
Lesdits moyens de protection 7 sont constitués d'un disque de forme sensiblement complémentaire de celle de la feuille d'isolation et de fixation 6, et réalisés en un matériau non conducteur tel que le poly carbonate.Said protection means 7 consist of a disc of shape substantially complementary to that of the insulation and fixing sheet 6, and made of a non-conductive material such as poly carbonate.
La figure 3 représente une variante de réalisation des moyens de lecture 3.FIG. 3 represents an alternative embodiment of the reading means 3.
Ledit lecteur portable 3 dispose, en effet, d'une antenne 3a déportée à l'aide d'un bras 3b, afin de faciliter le contrôle de la plaque d'immatriculation 1 , évitant ainsi au contrôleur de se baisser.Said portable reader 3 has, in fact, a remote antenna 3a using an arm 3b, in order to facilitate the control of the license plate 1, thus preventing the controller from stooping.
L'étiquette électronique 2 est passive, c'est-à-dire qu'elle ne nécessite pas d'alimentation interne. Elle est alimentée en énergie uniquement par le lecteur 3 lorsque ce dernier est approché de l'étiquette électronique 2.The electronic label 2 is passive, that is to say that it does not require internal power supply. It is supplied with energy only by the reader 3 when the latter is approached the electronic tag 2.
En effet, l'alimentation ainsi que la transmission des informations est effectuée par couplage magnétique entre l'étiquette électronique 2 et le lecteur portable 3, par l'intermédiaire de leurs antennes respectives 5 et 3a.Indeed, the supply as well as the transmission of information is carried out by magnetic coupling between the electronic label 2 and the portable reader 3, via their respective antennas 5 and 3a.
Ces opérations d'alimentation et de transmission sont, par exemple, réalisées à une fréquence radio de 125 KHz qui permet de s'affranchir des contraintes générées par la présence de métal sur la plaque d'immatriculation 1 et sur le véhicule à contrôler lui-même.These supply and transmission operations are, for example, carried out at a radio frequency of 125 KHz which overcomes the constraints generated by the presence of metal on the registration plate 1 and on the vehicle to be checked. even.
Ainsi, la communication par l'intermédiaire de basses fréquences entre l'étiquette électronique 2 et le lecteur portable 3, tous deux réglés à des fréquences identiques, permet la transmission de données entre ses deux éléments.Thus, communication via low frequencies between the electronic tag 2 and the portable reader 3, both set to identical frequencies, allows the transmission of data between its two elements.
En lecture seule, l'étiquette électronique 2 transmet les informations qu'elle contient au lecteur portable 3 par modulation de l'amplitude du champ électromagnétique émis en permanence par ledit lecteur portable 3.In read-only mode, the electronic tag 2 transmits the information it contains to the portable reader 3 by modulating the amplitude of the electromagnetic field permanently emitted by said portable reader 3.
En écriture, la modulation de l'amplitude du champ électromagnétique est effectuée par le lecteur portable 3 lui-même, à un taux différent de celui utilisé en lecture.In writing, the modulation of the amplitude of the electromagnetic field is carried out by the portable reader 3 itself, at a rate different from that used in reading.
Il est ainsi possible d'ajouter un certain nombre d'informations à celles déjà contenues dans la zone mémoire de la puce 4, par exemple selon le cycle de vie du véhicule équipé de la plaque d'immatriculation 1.It is thus possible to add a certain amount of information to that already contained in the memory area of the chip 4, for example according to the life cycle of the vehicle equipped with the license plate 1.
Le lecteur portable 3 dispose, outre l'antenne 3a, de moyens électroniques de gestion à microprocesseur aptes à analyser, lire et/ou envoyer des informations en direction de l'étiquette électronique 2. Le lecteur portable 3 comporte également, de façon connue, des moyens d'affichage des informations lues en provenance de l'étiquette électronique 2.The portable reader 3 has, in addition to the antenna 3a, electronic management means with microprocessor capable of analyzing, reading and / or sending information in the direction of the electronic label 2. The portable reader 3 also comprises, in a known manner, means for displaying the information read from the electronic label 2.
Selon une forme particulière de réalisation, le lecteur portable 3 comprend des moyens de liaison avec une base de données distante recensant, par exemple, les véhicules recherchés (véhicules volés, etc).
