Description

-1- Device for user-specific enabling of a vehicle Prior Art The invention relates to a device for the user-specific enabling of a vehicle. An anti-theft system for a vehicle is known from DE 197 07 058 C1. The vehicle can be used only for a certain period of time with an operating key. Before the expiry of the period in which use is permitted, an enable signal must be generated, by means of which the period of use can be prolonged. This takes place by means of speech input. When the spoken keyword or the speaker is recognised as authorised, the enable signal is generated. To generate this enable signal however, the speech reference sample, on the basis of which the authorisation is checked, must already be stored in the vehicle.
Furthermore, from WO 94/12372 an anti-theft system for a vehicle is known, that for the purpose of checking the entitlement to start carries out a comparison by radio transmission of an identification proof inserted into a card reader with an identification sample that can be stored in a computer memory. Moreover, from US 5 686 765 A it is known that the identification of the entitlement to start a vehicle can be carried out also by means of biometric data, like fingerprint or retina.
The object of the invention is to provide a user-specific antitheft system, which can be "adapted quickly to various user profiles.
Summary of the Invention According to the present invention there is provided a device for user-specific vehicle enablement, with a first data detection device which detects user-specific information as S"reference information that is processed by a stationary data processing unit, S. 30 with a transmission path over which the reference information can be provided to a transmitter/receiver in the vehicle, while the reference information can be stored in a memory, with a second data detection device allocated to the vehicle, which detects user-specific information as actual information, 04/09/03,eh12529.spc,1 with a control device which compares the actual information with the reference information and emits an enable signal to a component necessary for the operation of the vehicle when the actual information matches the reference information, wherein the reference information and the actual information are based on biometric data, resource information can be generated in the stationary data processing unit, and means are provided for the transmission from the stationary data processing unit to the vehicle as well as for the storing of the resource information in the vehicle.
Advantages of the invention The device of the invention for user-specific enabling of vehicles has a first biometric data detection device, which detects user-specific biometric information as reference biometric information. The reference biometric information is relayed to a receiver in the vehicle.
The reference biometric information is stored in a memory. A second biometric data detection device, which detects user-specific biometric information as actual biometric information is planned for the vehicle. A control arrangement compares the actual information with the reference biometric information and emits an enable signal to a component of the vehicle when the actual biometric information matches the reference biometric information. By means of recourse to the biometric identification process such 20 as the detection of fingerprints, the iris of the eye or speech, it is determined than only this S* person, demonstrated in this way as authorised, has the right to drive or have access to the vehicle. The proposed device makes possible, in particular for car rental companies with frequently changing drivers, a simpler detection and storage of person specific recognition data and a guarantee that only the renter can operate the vehicle (liability, recovery of damages). Here the first biometric detection is installed, preferably permanently, by the rental company. By this means the reference biometric information is read in under the supervision of the rental personnel and is relayed to the vehicle to be rented.
In an advantageous further extension the transmission path is designed bidirectionally. By S 30 this means the input process of the reference biometry information can be monitored in the memory of the control arrangement, in that after successful reading in an acknowledgment signal is transmitted back to the data processor of the first biometric detection device or the stored data is sent back to the first biometric data detection device by means of checking for correctness.
04/09/03,eh 12529.spc,2 An advantageous design provides for the transmission of resource information. This can be the permitted period of use, the route, etc. By this means the resource is clearly allocated in connection with the reference biometric information to the authorised user.
The enable signal provided dependent on the comparison between reference biometric information and actual biometric information activates, for example, the opening procedure of a locking system or isolates a motor controlling device necessary for operation, as long as the resource is not used. The biometric data detection can be used both as access authorisation and as driving authorisation. In the case of access authorisation, the second biometric data detection device is to be arranged outside of the vehicle, preferably in the door handle.
Brief Description of the Drawing An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in some detail in the following. A block diagram of the embodiment is shown in Figure 1.
Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment i 20 A first biometric data detection device 10 detects user-specific biometric information as reference biometric information, which processes the permanent data processing 12. The reference biometric information is transmitted via an inductively operating antenna 17, to a transmitter/receiver 18 in the vehicle. The transmitter/receiver 18 exchanges data with a control arrangement 20, which includes a memory 22. The reference biometric information is read into this memory 22. In or on the vehicle is a second biometric data detection device 24, which detects user-specific biometric information as actual biometric information and relays it to the control 20. Dependent on the comparison of the actual biometric information and the reference biometric information, the control arrangement emits an enable signal to a component 26 necessary for operation.
go The first biometric data detection device 10, the data processing device 12 and the first transceiver 14 are permanently installed at, for example, a car rental company. When a client would like to rent a vehicle, his user-specific biometric information is detected. This can be a fingerprint, an iris pattern or a speech signal. The data processing unit 12 assigns 04/09/03,eh I 2529.spc,3 resource information to the detected reference biometric information, which is provided by the car rental company. The maximum permissible duration of use, the route allowed or similar serve as examples of resource information. Reference biometric information and resource information is transmitted via the first transceiver 14 and, here, a bidirectionally operated data line to the second transceiver 16. The second transceiver 16 is arranged at a distance from the data processing unit 12 in the vicinity of the rental vehicle. The second transceiver 16 controls the bidirectional inductively operating antenna 17 designed, eg. as a loop, to transmit the reference biometric information and the resource information to the vehicle.
The transmitter/receiver 18 arranged in the vehicle receives the reference biometric information and the resource information and relays it further to the control arrangement Both these data are stored in the memory 22. As soon as it is read in, the control arrangement 20 causes the transmitter/receiver 18 to return an acknowledgment signal to the inductive antenna 17. This acknowledgment signal is returned to the data processing unit 12 via the transceiver 16 coupled to it and the bidirectionally designed data line. By this means the vehicle is prepared for the user, who has previously identified himself by means of the first biometric data detection 20 The reference biometric information stored in the memory 22 is used for drive authorisation and/or access authorisation. The second biometric data detection device 24 is preferably arranged in the interior of the vehicle. In order to be able to operate the vehicle the new user must have himself identified by means of the second biometric data detection device detecting actual biometric information, which compares the control device 20 with the reference biometric information stored in the memory 22. In the case of a match, an enable signal is generated to a component 26 necessary for operation, such as a motor control device. The control arrangement 20 queries the resource information also stored in the memory 22 anew with every start procedure as to whether the resource is not yet exhausted. The current kilometre reading or the date and time serve as examples of 30 comparison parameters. Only when sufficient resources are present will the start process of the vehicle be made possible by means of the corresponding generation of the enable signal.
04/09/03,eh 1 2529.spc,4 In an alternative design the biometric data detection device 24 can be positioned outside the vehicle. If reference biometric information and actual biometric information match, the locking system of the vehicle is controlled in that it is unlocked.
A simpler design sees to it that the inductively operating antenna 17 is coupled with the first transceiver 14, so that the data line between the first transceiver 14 and the second transceiver 16 is superfluous as is the second transceiver 16 itself.
If the acknowledgment is dispensed with, the data line can be designed unidirectionally and the first transceiver 14 can be replaced by a pure data transmitter, the second transceiver 16 by a pure data receiver with a connected amplifier to operate the inductively operating antenna 17.
The exchange of data between the vehicle and the permanent biometric data detection management can of course take place in other ways eg. by means of radio, infrared or direct connection to eg. a diagnostic plug and socket connection of the vehicle.
