A VEHICLE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM AND A METHOD THEREOF FIELD OFINVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a field of anti-theft systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to the field of vehicle anti-theft system.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Recently, the number of car thefts and car damages is increasing rapidly. Accordingly, various types of vehicle antitheft systems have been designed and produced. Early systems used a single keyed switch installed on the outside of the vehicle to operate and deactivate the system. Such a keyed control system has a number of drawbacks, including the fact that anyone with knowledge in the field of automotive systems can bypass the connection wires of the key switch itself. The keys could also be stolen or easily duplicated by thieves.
The developed system then attempted to remedy the drawbacks of the conventional key switch system by removing the key switch itself. As such, keyless systems have utilized a variety of release controls, including hidden switches in the passenger compartment, the vehicle's own ignition switch, and a digital keypad to control activation and non-operation. However, these keyless systems also have serious problems as follows. In other words, when the passenger compartment door is opened, the alarm can be triggered only after the entry delay time to allow the owner to get into the passenger compartment and release the system sufficiently. During this delay, the thief can steal the car's stereo equipment or other contents, damage the car or destroy the alarm system, and even steal the car.
According to more recent advancement, the existing technology that is the Vehicle Theft Alarm Sensors are extremely sensitive in nature as the alarm installed in the vehicle gets activated very soon due to its extreme sensitiveness. For instance, even when someone by mistake touches the handle of the gates of the car, the sensors get activated making a very loud noise. Another instance is that when someone crosses very closely by the vehicle since in most nations there is a problem of traffic including India this is a very common issue, or when someone makes loud sounds such as during the festival of Diwali in India if someone bursts crackers or even if motorcycles making loud noise crosses by the vehicle the sensors get activated.
CN202641630U discloses about the field of automotive electronics, and in particular relates to a vehicle anti-theft system based on infrared and face recognition technologies. The vehicle anti-theft system comprises a camera, an optical filter, an infrared light source and a face recognition and control module, wherein the optical filter is arranged on the camera to filter out other light sources except for the infrared light source; the infrared light source is used by the camera to incept face information of a driver; and the face recognition and control module processes the face information, compares the processed face information with a face template which is stored in a database, and controls an on vehicle electronic system according to the result of the comparison. The vehicle anti-theft system adopts a face recognition technology and an intelligent hardware platform technology, so that the defects of limitation of the conventional automobile anti-theft technology and powerful influence of light during face recognition are overcome.
In order to overcome the above-mentioned limitations, there exists a need to develop a system that advances the security feature of the vehicle using smart authentication techniques that unlocks the vehicle only upon successful authentication and thus checks the theft activities.
The technical advancements disclosed by the present invention overcomes the limitations and disadvantages of existing and convention systems and methods.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a system and a method for anti-theft systems in vehicle.
An object of the present invention is to provide a system for recognizing a user.
Another object of the present invention is to detect the movement of an object or the user in close proximity of the vehicle.
Another object of the present invention is to track the real time location of the vehicle.
Yet another object of the present invention is to inform the user about the theft.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the system comprises of a plurality of sensors, a controlling module, a GSM module, a locking module, a database, a navigation module, and a plurality of alert module.
The plurality of sensors further comprises of an infrared sensor, a face recognition sensor and a fingerprint sensor. The plurality of sensors placed inside the vehicle for detecting a theft and recognizing a user.
The infrared sensor embedded on the vehicle for detecting an activity of the theft in close proximity of the vehicle by sensing heat and motion of an object or the user.
The infrared camera is a non-contact temperature measurement device. The infrared sensors are used to sense characteristics in its surroundings by emitting and/or detecting infrared radiation and are capable of measuring the heat being emitted by an object and detecting motion.
The Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor is used to detect the presence of human only if they are in motion. Every human radiates the infrared energy of specific wavelength range. The absorbed incident radiation changes the temperature of a material.
The finger print sensor mounted on the vehicle for detecting the finger print of the user so as to authenticate the user inside the vehicle, wherein an ignition module of the vehicle is triggered upon successful authentication. The fingerprint sensor works by capturing the pattern of ridges and valleys on a finger. The information is then processed by the device's pattern analysis/matching software, which compares the features to the list of registered fingerprints on the database.
The face recognition sensor mounted on at least a door the vehicle for identifying the face of the user entering inside the vehicle, wherein the vehicle is unlocked upon successful identification of the user.
Face recognition is a technology capable of identifying or verifying a subject through an image, video or any audiovisual element of the face. Generally, the identification is used to access the entry of the vehicle.
Face recognition is a method of biometric identification that uses the body measures, in this case face and head, to verify the identity of a person through its facial biometric pattern and data. The technology collects a set of unique biometric data of each person associated with their face and facial expression to identify, verify and/or authenticate a person.
The face recognition module works by the following process:
The first process is capturing the image of the user using a camera. The camera detects and locates the image of a face, either alone or in a crowd.
The second step is analyzing the face of the user. The image of the face is captured and analyzed. The face recognition module reads the geometry of the face. Key factors include the distance between the eyes, the depth of the eye sockets, the distance from forehead to chin, the shape of the cheekbones, and the contour of the lips, ears, and chin.
The third step involves converting the image to data. The face recognition process transforms analog information (a face) into a set of digital information (data) based on the user's facial features. The face's analysis is essentially turned into a mathematical formula. The numerical code is called a faceprint.
The fourth step is finding a match from the stored face images in the database. The obtained faceprint is then compared against the database of other known faces. If the faceprint matches an image in a facial recognition database, then a determination is made and the user is recognized.
The controlling module is connected to the plurality of sensors for protecting the vehicle from the theft and recognizing the user entering the vehicle, wherein the controlling module generates a first set of command signals upon successfully recognizing the user using the fingerprint and the face of the user, and generates a second set of command signals upon successfully detecting the theft by sensing heat and motion of an object or a user in close proximity of the vehicle.
The controlling module used herein is a raspberry pi. The Raspberry Pi is a family of single board computers (SBC). Each SBC has different properties and capabilities. The module contains a quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, four USB ports, ethernet, in built Wi-Fi, and a 40-pin header for controlling external circuits. The raspberry pi is interfaced with the display unit for displaying the image of the user.
According to alternate embodiments, other such controlling module such as Arduino UNO, Arduino Nano, NODMCU may be used.
The GSM module is connected to the controlling module for sending a plurality of message alerts to the user module based on the first and the second set of command signals, wherein the user module comprises of a display screen that displays a theft message and the identity of the user.
The GSM modem or GSM module is a hardware device that uses GSM mobile telephone technology to provide a data link to a remote network.

The infrared camera is a non-contact temperature measurement device. The infrared sensors 102 are used to sense characteristics in its surroundings by emitting and/or detecting infrared radiation and are capable of measuring the heat being emitted by an object and detecting motion.
The Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor is used to detect the presence of human only if they are in motion. Every human radiates the infrared energy of specific wavelength range. The absorbed incident radiation changes the temperature of a material.
The finger print sensor mounted on the vehicle for detecting the finger print of the user so as to authenticate the user inside the vehicle, wherein an ignition module of the vehicle is triggered upon successful authentication. The fingerprint sensor 104 works by capturing the pattern of ridges and valleys on a finger. The information is then processed by the device's pattern analysis/matching software, which compares the features to the list of registered fingerprints on the database 114.
The face recognition sensor 106 mounted on at least a door the vehicle for identifying the face of the user entering inside the vehicle, wherein the vehicle is unlocked upon successful identification of the user.
Face recognition is a technology capable of identifying or verifying a subject through an image, video or any audiovisual element of the face. Generally, the identification is used to access the entry of the vehicle.
Face recognition is a method of biometric identification that uses the body measures, in this case face and head, to verify the identity of a person through its facial biometric pattern and data. The technology collects a set of unique biometric data of each person associated with their face and facial expression to identify, verify and/or authenticate a person.
The face recognition module works by the following process:
The first process is capturing the image of the user using a camera. The camera detects and locates the image of a face, either alone or in a crowd.
The second step is analyzing the face of the user. The image of the face is captured and analyzed. The face recognition module reads the geometry of the face. Key factors include the distance between the eyes, the depth of the eye sockets, the distance from forehead to chin, the shape of the cheekbones, and the contour of the lips, ears, and chin.
The third step involves converting the image to data. The face recognition process transforms analog information (a face) into a set of digital information (data) based on the user's facial features. The face's analysis is essentially turned into a mathematical formula. The numerical code is called a faceprint.
The fourth step is finding a match from the stored face images in the database 114. The obtained faceprint is then compared against the database 114 of other known faces. If the faceprint matches an image in a facial recognition database 114, then a determination is made and the user is recognized.
