A display, gas sensor and analysis device are located in the transponder device, said analysis device controlling the display so as to output a warning signal if the measured concentration of gas exceeds a critical threshold.

Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Vorrichtung zur Wiedergabe von Informationen über ein Kraftfahrzeug nachdem Oberbegriff des patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for reproducing information about a motor vehicle according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Aus der DE 199 12 748 A1 ist eine derartige Vorrichtung bekannt. Die Anzeige lässt sich nur dann aktivieren, wenn ein vom Transponder gesendeter gültiger Code er- fasst wurde. Nur dem sich so als berechtigt ausweisenden Benutzer stehen die interessierenden Daten zur Verfügung. Anderen Personen, die sich nicht im Besitz eines gültigen Transponders befinden, ist der Zugriff auf diese Daten verwehrt. Anhand des empfangenen Codes kann die Anzeige auch automatisch aktualisiert werden, ohne dass hierzu weitere Bediensignale des Benutzers erforderlich wären. Da der Sendevorgang des Codesignals schon vor der Einleitung des Startvorgangs des Kraftfahrzeugs erfolgt, kann sich der Benutzer somit schon vorab über interessierende Betriebszustände des Kraftfahrzeugs informieren, bevor er die Zündung betätigt.From the DE 199 12 748 A1 Such a device is known. The display can only be activated if a valid code sent by the transponder has been detected. Only the user with the right to be identified will have access to the data of interest. Other persons who are not in possession of a valid transponder are denied access to this data. Based on the received code, the display can also be updated automatically, without the need for further user input signals. Since the transmission of the code signal takes place even before the initiation of the starting process of the motor vehicle, the user can thus inform himself in advance about interesting operating conditions of the motor vehicle before he actuates the ignition.

Allerdings wird dabei davon ausgegangen, dass sich das Fahrzeug ohne besondere Probleme in Betrieb nehmen lässt. Dies ist aber nicht immer der Fall. Handelt es sich beispielsweise um ein Fahrzeug mit Wasserstoffantrieb, ist evtl. austretendes Wasserstoffgas für den Fahrzeugbenutzer in der Regel nicht feststellbar, während gleichzeitig die Inbetriebnahme des Fahrzeugs gefährlich sein kann. Eine Anzeige über demgegenüber unwichtige Betriebszustände birgt die Gefahr eines falschen Sicherheitsgefühls für den Fahrzeugbenutzer.However, it is assumed that the vehicle can be put into operation without any special problems. This is not always the case. For example, if it is a hydrogen powered vehicle, any escaping hydrogen gas will usually be undetectable to the vehicle user, while at the same time putting the vehicle into service may be dangerous. An indication of unimportant operating states involves the risk of a false sense of security for the vehicle user.

Aus der FR 2 790 855 A ist es bekannt, per Fernbedienung ein Fragesignal an Fahrzeuge auszusenden, die ggf. mit Flüssiggas betrieben werden. Das Antwortsignal des betreffenden Fahrzeugs lässt erkennen, ob es tatsächlich so betrieben wird.From the FR 2 790 855 A It is known to send a question signal by remote control to vehicles, which may be operated with LPG. The response signal of the vehicle in question indicates whether it is actually operated in this way.

Die DE 103 07 291 A ist eine Vorrichtung zur Fernabfrage von Reifendruckinformationen dann bekannt, wenn er das Fahrzeug benutzt.The DE 103 07 291 A For example, a device for remotely polling tire pressure information is known when using the vehicle.

Ferner beschreibt die WO 01/12457 A einen Atemluftanalysator, der bei einem betrunkenen Fahrer die Inbetriebnahme des Fahrzeugs blockiert.Furthermore, the describes WO 01/12457 A a breathing air analyzer that blocks a drunken driver from starting the vehicle.

Schließlich geht aus der EP 1 243 772 A ein Gas-Leckage-Detektor hervor, der mit Hilfe einer Druckverlaufsmessung in der Gasleitung eine ggf. bestehende Undichtigkeit erkennt.Finally, leave the EP 1 243 772 A a gas leakage detector out, which detects a possibly existing leak by means of a pressure curve measurement in the gas line.

Ergänzend ist es auch möglich, den Analysevorgang willkürlich mittels eines eigenen Bedienelements analog zu den Bedienelementen (nicht dargestellt) auszulösen.In addition, it is also possible to trigger the analysis process arbitrarily by means of a separate control element analogous to the controls (not shown).

Hierzu wird ein Bedienelement 5 (z.B. AUF) oder ein separates Bedienelement mit der Bezeichnung "H2-Sensor aktiv" betätigt und die H2-Messung gestartet. Ergänzend kann die Messung gestartet werden über einen Fahrzeug-Näherungssensor (nicht dargestellt), der auf die Annäherung einer Person an das Fahrzeug reagiert. Vom Fahrzeug wird ein Fragesignal ausgesandt. Erkennt der Fahrzeugschlüssel 1' sich als zugehörig, sendet er das Antwortsignal des berechtigten Benutzers aus und startet gleichzeitig die Messung der Gaskonzentration.For this purpose, a control element 5 (for example OPEN) or a separate control element with the designation "H2 sensor active" is actuated and the H2 measurement is started. In addition, the measurement can be started via a vehicle proximity sensor (not shown), which responds to the approach of a person to the vehicle. The vehicle sends out a question signal. If the vehicle key 1 'recognizes itself as belonging, it sends out the answer signal of the authorized user and simultaneously starts the measurement of the gas concentration.

Solange die Messung läuft und noch kein Ergebnis vorliegt, blinkt die LED 2 gelb.As long as the measurement is running and there is no result yet, the LED 2 flashes yellow.

Ist die Messung abgeschlossen und es wurde kein Wasserstoff festgestellt, blinkt die LED 2 grün.When the measurement is complete and no hydrogen is detected, the LED 2 flashes green.

Bei erkanntem Wasserstoff blinkt die LED 2 rot. Bei HIGH-Alarm (spezielle Vol. % Schwelle) blinkt die LED rot mit doppelter Frequenz und zusätzlich erfolgt eine akustische Warnung (z.B. hochfrequenter Piepston).If hydrogen is detected, LED 2 flashes red. With HIGH-Alarm (special Vol.% Threshold) the LED flashes red with double frequency and additionally an audible warning (for example high frequency beep).

Die dargestellte Wasserstoffwarnvorrichtung verwendet die gleiche Energiequelle (Batterie 8) wie die normalen Schlüsselfunktionen.The illustrated hydrogen warning device uses the same energy source (battery 8) as the normal key functions.

Ergänzend kann die Batterie 8 wiederaufladbar sein und die Ladung vorgenommen werden, solange der Schlüssel 1' im Fahrzeug gesteckt ist. Währen dieser Zeit ist die H2-Warnfunktion aktiv.In addition, the battery 8 can be rechargeable and the charge can be made as long as the key 1 'is inserted in the vehicle. During this time, the H2 warning function is active.

Wenn der Schlüssel 1' nicht gesteckt ist, kehrt der H2-Sensor nach einer applizierbaren Zeit wieder in den Zustand "passiv" zurück.If the key 1 'is not inserted, the H2 sensor returns to the state "passive" after an applicable time.

Nach dem oben beschriebenen Verfahren können mit einem entsprechenden Sensor auch andere Gasarten (z.B. CO, CO2, Benzol, Ozon etc.) sensiert werden. Weiter ist es möglich, gleichzeitig mit der Ausgabe eines Warnsignals am Schlüssel eine Nachricht an das Fahrzeug zu versenden, um dort z.B. eine interne Sicherheitsüberprüfung durchzuführen, oder den Zugang zum Fahrzeug mittels der Fernbedienung zu sperren, oder sonstige, die Sicherheit erhöhende Maßnahmen einzuleiten.According to the method described above, other types of gas (eg CO, CO2, benzene, ozone, etc.) can be sensed with a corresponding sensor. Furthermore, it is possible to send a message to the vehicle at the same time as the issuing of a warning signal on the key, for example to perform an internal security check, or to block access to the vehicle by means of the remote control, or to initiate measures to increase security.

Besitzt das Fahrzeug selbst einen Gassensor, der auf einen dort auftretenden Gasaustritt anspricht, kann das Fahrzeug an den Schlüssel eine entsprechende Nachricht abgeben, die am Schlüssel als Warnsignal ausgegeben wird und den Benutzer informiert und davor warnt, sich dem Fahrzeug zu nähern, die Fernbedienung zu betätigen oder das Fahrzeug zu betreten.If the vehicle itself has a gas sensor that responds to a gas leak occurring there, the vehicle can issue a corresponding message to the key, which is issued as a warning signal on the key and informs the user and warns against approaching the vehicle, the remote control press or enter the vehicle.
