Description

DISPOSITIF DE PROTECTION CONTRE LE VOL NOTft MENT D'UN VEHICULE AUTOM.bILE. NOTft MENT THEFT PROTECTION DEVICE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de protection contre le vol notamment de véhicule auto¬ mobile.The present invention relates to a device for protection against theft, in particular of an auto-mobile vehicle.
On connaît déjà dans l'état de la technique un certain nombre de dispositifs de protection pour ce type d'application.A number of protective devices for this type of application are already known in the prior art.
Ceux-ci sont par exemple constitués par une centrale d'alarme installée à bord d'un véhicule et comportant des moyens de surveillance par exemple par ultrasons, permettant de détecter toute tentative d'ef¬ fraction et de vol du véhicule, pour commander des moyens d'alarme. Ces moyens d'alarme sont par exemple constitués par l'avertisseur sonore du véhicule.These are, for example, constituted by an alarm center installed on board a vehicle and comprising monitoring means, for example by ultrasound, making it possible to detect any attempt to effect and steal the vehicle, to control alarm means. These alarm means are, for example, constituted by the vehicle's audio horn.
Ces centrales sont également reliées par exemple aux moyens d'allumage du moteur du véhicule pour empêcher celui-ci de démarrer.These central units are also connected, for example, to the ignition means of the vehicle engine to prevent it from starting.
Cependant, ces dispositifs présentent un certain nombre d'inconvénients dans la mesure où ils sont relativement coûteux et embarqués à bord du véhicu- le.However, these devices have a certain number of drawbacks insofar as they are relatively expensive and on board the vehicle.
En conséquence, si le propriétaire du véhicule souhaite changer celui-ci, il est obligé soit de démon¬ ter la centrale d'alarme pour la monter dans le nouveau véhicule, soit d'acheter une nouvelle centrale pour équiper son nouveau véhicule.Consequently, if the owner of the vehicle wishes to change it, he is obliged either to dismantle the alarm center to install it in the new vehicle, or to buy a new central to equip his new vehicle.
Or, on a constaté depuis quelques années, une augmentation du taux de vol de véhicule, en particulier de véhicules loués, qui ne sont pas équipés de centrale d'alarme, dans les zones de parquage par exemple d'hô- tels ou autres.However, in recent years, there has been an increase in the rate of vehicle theft, in particular of rented vehicles, which are not equipped with an alarm center, in the parking areas, for example of hotels or others.
Le but de 1'invention est donc de résoudre ces problèmes en proposant un dispositif de protection simple et fiable, qui permette de surveiller un véhicule dans une zone de parquage déterminée. A cet effet,1'invention a pour objet un dis¬ positif de protection contre le vol notamment d'un véhicule automobile, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une borne de surveillance du véhicule disposée à proxi- mité de la zone de parquage de celui-ci et comportant des moyens de détection par induction de la présence du véhicule dans la zone de parquage et des moyens de surveillance de l'habitacle de celui-ci, reliés à des moyens d'alarme sonore et/ou visuelle en cas d'effrac- ion ou de tentative de vol du véhicule et des moyens d'activation et d'inhibition de la borne.The object of the invention is therefore to solve these problems by proposing a simple and reliable protection device which makes it possible to monitor a vehicle in a specific parking area. To this end, the subject of the invention is a device for protection against theft, in particular of a motor vehicle, characterized in that it includes a vehicle monitoring terminal disposed near the parking area of the latter and comprising means for inductively detecting the presence of the vehicle in the parking area and means for monitoring the passenger compartment thereof, connected to audible and / or visual alarm means in the event of 'theft or attempted theft of the vehicle and the means of activating and inhibiting the terminal.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à 1'aide de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels : - la Fig.1 représente un schéma synoptique illustrant un dispositif de protection selon 1'inven¬ tion;The invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings, in which: - Fig.1 represents a block diagram illustrating a protection device according to the invention;
- la Fig.2 représente une vue synoptique d'une borne de protection entrant dans la constitution d'un dispositif selon l'invention; et- Fig.2 shows a block diagram of a protection terminal forming part of a device according to the invention; and
- la Fig.3 représente un schéma synoptique des circuits électriques d'un dispositif de protection selon l'invention.- Fig.3 shows a block diagram of the electrical circuits of a protection device according to the invention.
Ainsi qu'on peut le voir sur ces Figures, un dispositif de protection contre le vol, notamment d'un véhicule automobile 1, selon l'invention, comporte une borne 2 de surveillance du véhicule, disposée à proximi¬ té de la zone de parquage de celui-ci et des moyens 3 de détection par induction de la présence du véhicule dans la zone de parquage et des moyens de surveillance 4 de l'habitacle du véhicule.As can be seen in these Figures, a device for protection against theft, in particular of a motor vehicle 1, according to the invention, comprises a terminal 2 for monitoring the vehicle, disposed near the area of parking thereof and means 3 for induction detection of the presence of the vehicle in the parking area and monitoring means 4 of the vehicle interior.
Comme cela sera décrit plus en détail par la suite, ces moyens de détection et de surveillance sont reliés à des moyens d'alarme sonore et/ou visuelle en cas d'effraction ou de tentative de vol du véhicule.As will be described in more detail below, these detection and monitoring means are linked to audible and / or visual alarm means in the event of a vehicle theft or attempted theft.
La borne 2 est également équipée de moyens d'activation et d'inhibition de celle-ci. Comme on peut .le voir plus particulièrement sur la Fig.2, les moyens d'activation et d'inhibition de la borne 2 comprennent par exemple un monnayeur 5 adapté pour recevoir de l'argent et déclencher les différents circuits de la borne. Bien entendu, la durée de protection du véhi¬ cule peut être proportionnelle à la somme d'argent introduite dans ce monnayeur.Terminal 2 is also equipped with means for activating and inhibiting it. As can be seen more particularly in FIG. 2, the means for activating and inhibiting the terminal 2 include, for example, a coin mechanism 5 adapted to receive money and trigger the various circuits of the terminal. Of course, the duration of protection of the vehicle can be proportional to the amount of money introduced into this coin mechanism.
Il va de soi que ce monnayeur peut également être constitué par un monnayeur à carte, par exemple à circuit intégré ou autre.It goes without saying that this coin mechanism can also be constituted by a card coin mechanism, for example with an integrated circuit or the like.
Les moyens d'activation et d'inhibition des circuits de la borne comprennent également un clavier 6 permettant à l'utilisateur d'entrer un code personnel lors de 1'activation de la borne et lui permettant d'inhiber celle-ci lorsqu'il souhaite récupérer son véhicule.The means for activating and inhibiting the circuits of the terminal also include a keyboard 6 allowing the user to enter a personal code when activating the terminal and enabling him to inhibit it when he wish to recover their vehicle.
Ces moyens peuvent également être constitués par un lecteur de carte ou autre dans laquelle est stocké un code. Les moyens 3 de détection de la présence du véhicule dans la zone de parquage sont quant à eux constitués par une bobine d'induction disposée par exemple sous le véhicule lorsque celui-ci est dans la zone de parquage. Les moyens de surveillance de l'habitacle du véhicule, peuvent par exemple être constitués par des moyens d'émission en direction de celui-ci, d'un fais¬ ceau, par exemple optique à visée réflexe dans le spec¬ tre visible ou invisible, pénétrant à l'intérieur de l'habitacle du véhicule, par exemple par le pare-brise et étant réfléchi vers des moyens de réception pour la détection de toute modification de la position du véhi¬ cule lorsque la borne de surveillance est activée.These means can also be constituted by a card reader or the like in which a code is stored. The means 3 for detecting the presence of the vehicle in the parking zone are in turn constituted by an induction coil disposed for example under the vehicle when the latter is in the parking zone. The means for monitoring the passenger compartment of the vehicle may for example be constituted by emission means in the direction of the latter, of a beam, for example optical with reflex aiming in the visible or invisible spec¬ , entering the interior of the vehicle, for example through the windshield and being reflected towards reception means for the detection of any modification of the position of the vehicle when the monitoring terminal is activated.
Bien entendu, ces moyens de surveillance de l'habitacle du véhicule peuvent également être consti¬ tués par des moyens d'émission et de réception de fais¬ ceaux hyperfréquences ou autres, tels que des détecteurs de bris de vitres, basés sur l'analyse des fréquences caractéristiques, connus en soi, ceux-ci peuvent être couplés à des moyens de détection de présence par exem¬ ple à infrarouge.Of course, these means of monitoring the passenger compartment of the vehicle can also be constituted by means of emission and reception of microwave or other beams, such as glass break detectors, based on the analysis. characteristic frequencies, known per se, these can be coupled to presence detection means, for example infrared.
Comme on peut le voir sur la Fig.3, la borne de surveillance du dispositif selon l'invention comporte également une unité centrale de traitement d'informa¬ tions 7 reliée au monnayeur 5, au clavier 6, aux moyens 4 de surveillance de l'habitacle du véhicule, aux moyens 3 de détection par induction de la présence du véhicule dans la zone de parquage, à des moyens 8 d'alarme sonore et/ou visuelle en cas d'effraction ou de tentative de vol du véhicule et à des moyens d'activation d'une barrière 9 disposée, comme on peut le voir sur la Fig.l à l'arrière du véhicule, pour bloquer celui-ci dans la zone de parquage, par exemple lors d'une tentative de ol. Cette barrière peut par exemple être commandée par des moyens pneumatiques ou hydrauliques, tels qu'un vérin.As can be seen in Fig. 3, the monitoring terminal of the device according to the invention also includes a central information processing unit 7 connected to the coin mechanism 5, to the keyboard 6, to the means 4 for monitoring the cabin of the vehicle, to means 3 of induction detection of the presence of the vehicle in the parking area, to means 8 of audible and / or visual alarm in the event of a break-in or attempted theft of the vehicle and to means for activating a barrier 9 arranged, as can be seen in FIG. 1 at the rear of the vehicle, to block the latter in the parking zone, for example during an attempt at ol. This barrier can for example be controlled by pneumatic or hydraulic means, such as a jack.
On conçoit ainsi qu'un utilisateur de véhicule peut disposer celui-ci dans une zone de parquage sur- veillée.It is thus conceivable that a vehicle user can have it in a guarded parking area.
L'utilisateur active la borne de surveillance en déclenchant celle-ci par l'intermédiaire du monnayeur et du clavier. L'activation de la borne se traduit parThe user activates the monitoring terminal by triggering it via the coin mechanism and the keyboard. Activation of the terminal results in
1'excitation des moyens de surveillance de 1'habitacle du véhicule, désignés par la référence générale 4 et des moyens 3 de détection par induction de la présence du véhicule dans la zone de parquage.Excitation of the means of monitoring the passenger compartment of the vehicle, designated by the general reference 4 and of the means 3 for inductively detecting the presence of the vehicle in the parking zone.
L'unité de traitement d'informations 7 peut également activer les moyens de déplacement de la bar- rière 9 pour déplacer celle-ci vers une position active. Le véhicule est alors soumis à une surveil¬ lance très stricte.The information processing unit 7 can also activate the means for moving the barrier 9 to move the latter towards an active position. The vehicle is then subjected to very strict surveillance.
En cas de tentative de vol ou d'effraction, ceci se traduit par la coupure du rayon optique et/ou par la détection par l'intermédiaire de la boucle inductive d'un déplacement du véhicule, de sorte que 1'unité de traitement d'informations 7 déclenche les moyens d'alarme 8. Ces moyens d'alarme peuvent par exemple être constitués par des témoins lumineux et/ou une alarme sonore. Ces moyens d'alarme peuvent également être complétés par des moyens d'émission en direction d'un récepteur d'une station de surveillance, ou par exemple d'une chambre d'hôtel, d'un signal d'alarme indiquant qu'une tentative de vol ou d'effraction est en train de se commettre sur le véhicule.In the event of attempted theft or break-in, this results in the optical beam being cut off and / or by the detection, via the inductive loop, of a movement of the vehicle, so that the processing unit d information 7 triggers the alarm means 8. These alarm means can for example be constituted by indicator lights and / or an audible alarm. These alarm means can also be supplemented by means of transmitting, towards a receiver of a monitoring station, or for example of a hotel room, an alarm signal indicating that a attempted theft or burglary is being committed on the vehicle.
Dans le cas où la barrière n'a pas été relevée lors de l'activation de la borne, celle-ci peut être déplacée dans sa position active à la suite de cette tentative de vol ou d'effraction. L'inhibition de la borne après déclenchement ou lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite récupérer son véhicu¬ le, se fait par l'introduction du code par l'utilisateur ou un opérateur de surveillance à 1'aide du clavier d'entrée de code 6. Bien entendu, d'autres modes de fonctionnement sont également possibles.If the barrier was not raised when the terminal was activated, it can be moved to its active position following this attempted theft or break-in. The inhibition of the terminal after triggering or when the user wishes to recover his vehicle, is done by the introduction of the code by the user or a monitoring operator using the code entry keypad 6. Of course, other modes of operation are also possible.
Cette borne peut également être équipée d'une caméro vidéographique ou d'un appareil photographique permettant de visualiser la tentative de vol ou d'ef- fraction lors du déclenchement de l'alarme. Bien entendu, la caméra vidéographique peut également être reliée à des moyens de traitement de ses signaux de sortie, pour détecter tout changement sen¬ sible de la position du véhicule ou de son environne- men .This terminal can also be fitted with a video camera or a photographic device enabling the attempted theft or theft to be viewed when the alarm is triggered. Of course, the video camera can also be connected to means for processing its output signals, in order to detect any significant change in the position of the vehicle or its environment.
Le dispositif selon l'invention peut également être utilisé comme dispositif de réservation de place.The device according to the invention can also be used as a place reservation device.
En effet, un utilisateur peut commander le déplacement de la barrière 9 vers sa position active, de manière indépendante de l'activation du reste du dis¬ positif de protection, grâce au monnayeur et au clavier. L'unité de traitement d'informations 7 peut être programmée pour un cycle de réservation, dans lequel l'utilisateur, en introduisant de l'argent dans le monnayeur, peut faire remonter la barrière pour réserver une place. Cet utilisateur, lorsqu'il souhaite avoir accès à la place libre, compose alors un code pour escamoter la barrière.Indeed, a user can control the movement of the barrier 9 to its active position, independently of the activation of the rest of the protective device, using the coin mechanism and the keyboard. The information processing unit 7 can be programmed for a reservation cycle, in which the user, by introducing money into the coin mechanism, can raise the barrier to reserve a place. This user, when he wishes to have access to the free space, then dials a code to retract the barrier.
Bien entendu, cette réservation peut également être effectuée à partir de la station de surveillance ou de tout autre système de réservation informatisé. La borne peut également être équipée de voyants lumineux indiquant 1'état de fonctionnement du dispositif. Of course, this reservation can also be made from the monitoring station or any other computerized reservation system. The terminal can also be equipped with indicator lights indicating the operating state of the device.
