Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a device for releasing a vehicle for a user.
- vehicles are released to a user in that the user has a suitable key with which he can unlock and start the vehicle. If the vehicle is not the property of the user, but z. B. is a rented vehicle, it is first necessary for the user of the vehicle to conclude a contract with the landlord, with the user (tenant) proving his driving ability in the form of a driver's license to the landlord and upon completion of the Contract receives the vehicle key required to release the vehicle from the lessor. Even where there is the possibility of making a reservation or renting via the Internet, regardless of how he proves his driving ability to the landlord, a user must always go to the landlord or a service point to get the relevant vehicle key to get.
- the present invention provides a method for releasing a vehicle for a user, with the following steps:
- the present invention also provides a device for releasing a vehicle for a user, having the following features:
- a communication device assigned to the vehicle for transmitting the detected feature and an identification assigned to the vehicle, and for receiving an enable signal if the detected feature corresponds to a feature assigned to the vehicle;
- a release device which releases the vehicle for use in response to the received release signal.
- the unique, body-related feature is preferably a fingerprint, an iris print and / or a DNA of the user.
- the body-related feature can be detected by means of a sensor on a vehicle door and / or by means of a sensor in the interior of the vehicle for starting the vehicle.
- the captured data is preferably transmitted over a wireless connection, e.g. B. the mobile radio network or similar connections to the administrative unit.
- the identification information of the user and at least the clearly body-related characteristic of the user are preferably stored in the administration unit and assigned to the selected vehicle.
- the user information after registration of the user, in particular the body-related characteristic and the driving ability, are preferably stored in the administrative unit, which are assigned to the corresponding vehicle in the administrative unit in the event that the user wishes to use a vehicle.
- the present invention is based on the knowledge that the complex procedure, as was required in the prior art for using a non-own vehicle, can be circumvented in a simple and elegant manner by registering the user with a central administration unit , and already there stores the necessary data for its identification, for example a fingerprint or the like, together with its driving authorization.
- the user registered in this way can then, in the event that he wants to use a vehicle, report this to the administration unit, for example by telephone or Internet, so that his information is correspondingly assigned to a specific vehicle.
- the administration unit for example by telephone or Internet, so that his information is correspondingly assigned to a specific vehicle.
- the user receives the necessary information about the vehicle, its location, etc.
- the registration of the user is not absolutely necessary.
- only the corresponding data mentioned above can be assigned when the vehicle is rented, without prior registration being necessary.
- the necessary data can also be transmitted electronically.
- the user goes to the vehicle and, according to a preferred exemplary embodiment, first actuates a fingerprint sensor arranged on the door.
- the vehicle detects the fingerprint signal detected by the sensor and passes it on via a preferably chere, so coded communication route to the management unit, together with a message identifying the vehicle.
- a comparison between the received data and the stored data is carried out in the management unit. If this comparison is negative, no release signal is forwarded to the vehicle and the vehicle is not released. However, if the detected features and the stored features match, the management unit sends the vehicle a corresponding release message, upon receipt of which the vehicle unlocks the vehicle door so that the user can get into the vehicle.
- the vehicle can then additionally comprise a corresponding fingerprint sensor which enables the vehicle to be started, which is advantageous since, in the event of a break-in, movement of the vehicle can then be reliably excluded.
- the fingerprint data detected by the start sensor is checked in the same manner as described above, and upon receipt of the release signal, the vehicle starts the engine.
- This procedure has a number of advantages, one of which is that it is no longer necessary for the user to go to the landlord to pick up the key. Another advantage is that the landlord or similar agencies can now provide vehicles at different locations, for example within an urban area, and the user can be assigned a vehicle that is in the vicinity. It is therefore no longer necessary for the user to go to a remote parking lot, which is usually located at airports or on large city arterial roads, in order to receive the vehicle there. Preferred developments of the present invention are defined in the subclaims.
- Fig. 1 is a flow chart illustrating the method according to the invention in more detail.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of the device according to the invention.
- a fingerprint on or in the vehicle is recorded by a user who is already registered.
- this fingerprint is sent together with a vehicle identification to an administration unit (VE), which checks in step 104 whether the fingerprint matches a fingerprint assigned to the vehicle, as stored in the administration unit. If this is not the case, then, as shown in step 106, no release signal is sent to the vehicle. Otherwise, the release signal is sent to the vehicle in step 108.
- the vehicle unlocks the door or starts its engine.
- any clear, body-related identification feature can be used for a user, for example the iris or the DNA in addition to the fingerprint. It should be noted that other biometric data can be used instead of or together with the features mentioned.
- the user can be registered in the administration unit and in the event that he wants to use a vehicle, his identification information is assigned to a specific vehicle together with its characteristics. Alternatively, it can also be provided that a user leaves the necessary data in the administration unit and at the same time is assigned to a vehicle, so that pre-registration is not absolutely necessary.
- further identification information for the user is preferably stored in the control center.
- the administrative unit receives further information regarding the user from other locations, for example from police authorities, licensing authorities or the like, in order to obtain further information regarding the driving authorization of the user, so that in the event that the driver's license is withdrawn this can be noted accordingly and the vehicle will not be released if the vehicle is used again.
- Additional information relating to the rental relationship can be stored in the administration unit, for example information relating to the radius of use, the period of use and the like of the vehicle.
- This information can be sent to the vehicle together with the release signal, which, for example, always determines the position via the GPS system, so that depending on the usage information received, usage outside the usage radius, for example outside a city or a specific country, is prevented and / or when the period of use expires, further use of the vehicle is prevented or information is given to the user that the user has either left the permissible radius of use and / or the period of use has expired.
- the vehicle can also forward vehicle-specific information, such as tank filling, mileage, information relating to an inspection, etc., to the administrative unit, in order to enable remote maintenance and, at the same time, to carry out automatic billing based on the tank filling and the mileage after the useful life has expired.
- vehicle-specific information such as tank filling, mileage, information relating to an inspection, etc.
- the vehicle 202 to be used by the user 200 is shown in FIG. 2.
- the vehicle 202 includes a fingerprint sensor 204 which is arranged in the region of the door 206 of the vehicle 202.
- a further sensor can be provided on the dashboard of the vehicle 202 in order to detect the same feature or a different feature from the user, the engine of the vehicle 202 then being started based on a positive comparison.
- the vehicle 202 includes an antenna 208 as part of a wireless communication device that can cause data, as shown schematically at 210, to be transmitted between the vehicle 202 and an antenna 212 of the central management unit 214.
- the central administration unit 214 In the central administration unit 214, the assignment of the user and his / her unique body-related characteristic to the vehicle 202 takes place, the user 200 requesting the vehicle 202 via the central unit 214 and also registering there or leaving the necessary data, as indicated by the arrow 216 is shown schematically. As soon as the required assignment of user and vehicle has been carried out in the control center 214, the user 200 can release the vehicle 202 by giving a fingerprint to the sensor 204, as is shown schematically by the arrow 218.
- the present invention is of course not limited to this. Rather, the present Invention on all vehicles, aircraft, watercraft, land vehicles, application that can be used by a user under a rental agreement. This includes, for example, sailing yachts that are rented for certain periods, but also agricultural equipment that is rented for certain harvesting operations.
