Description

Field of technology

The waterproof and shockproof GPS tracker, according to the utility model, refers to the field of electronic devices for protection against encroachment on movable property. In particular, the device will find application for protection against theft of bicycles, electric bicycles and electric scooters.

Technical essence of the utility model

Unfortunately, the theft of bicycles, electric bicycles and electric scooters is a common phenomenon, and preventive and protective locking devices do not ultimately deter the thief. As a solution for preventing theft, tracking the thief and recovering the stolen object are the known GPS trackers, but the existing ones have many disadvantages, such as relatively short battery life and the need to replace or recharge; unprotected housing that can be broken or manipulated; insufficient degree of water resistance, etc.

In case of theft, the victim is only the owner of the site with the full amount given for its purchase. Unfortunately, in the eventual discovery of the object by the police, it is difficult for the real owner to prove that this particular bike is his, due to the lack of a frame number or other proving property attribute on the object. Therefore, the theft of bicycles, electric bicycles and electric scooters has the lowest rate of return to its rightful owner, for this reason and the possibility of insurance of this type of objects is almost not offered as a product by insurance companies.

The present described device considers it a challenge to solve the above-described shortcomings.

A device is available to protect and prevent theft of a bicycle, electric bicycle or electric scooter. In case of possible intrusion and theft via sensors and GPS location tracking - location request by sending requests for coordinates such as SMS via cellular GSM network, GPRS standard of cellular GSM network or via WiFi of cellular GSM network via GPS (Global Positioning System) and the recording of requests from a server in topographic software such as GOOGLE EARTH, etc., in a timely manner to prevent and ultimately fail the theft, as the perpetrator is identified and identified and subsequently apprehended by law enforcement. Easy and fast activation of the device via a module for wireless connection with mobile devices, in particular BLUETOOTH wireless connection, with a password for access from a mobile application for smartphone and tablet, supported by Android - Google Play / IOS - App Store. Identification of ownership of the object by means of data entered in the built-in memory of the device. Autonomous power supply for months, using volt solar photocells in combination with a rechargeable battery and a battery level indicator. Robust housing permanently attached to the frame - the body of the object by means of a rigid bolt or rivet connection in combination with water resistance, impact resistance and a high degree of protection against vulnerability and impact.

Thus, in the future, the very existence of the device mounted on a bicycle, electric bicycle or electric scooter will have a preventive measure and will deter the thief from further action.

In the following more detailed description of the mode of operation and execution in the accompanying sketches and drawings, will prove many other aspects and advantages of the device.

The IP6 waterproof and shock-resistant device for real-time tracking and protection against theft of objects - bicycles, electric bicycles and electric scooters - is fixed to the frame - the body of the object by means of a rigid bolt or rivet connection. The area of attachment remains inside the device using a locking mechanism that locks the two main parts of the device - base and cover, so it remains visible to the thief, but thus warns him and prevents his first instinctive intentions.

2217 Descriptions to utility registration certificates № 06.1 / 15.06.2018 for theft. The elliptical shape at the base of the device implies universal attachment to all sizes and models of frames for bicycles and electric bicycles. El. The power supply by means of voltaic solar photocells in combination with an autonomous rechargeable battery and an indicator for the level of the rechargeable battery assumes a continuous operating mode for several months. Through the built-in shock sensor, the device reacts to the actions of thieves and vandals, and the built-in temperature sensor reacts to an attack with nitrogen on the locking mechanism. LED display on the housing with indication of FREE or ALARM mode and battery level.

In the absence of site registration numbers, ownership of the site can be identified by data stored in the device's memory, as it is permanently attached to the site.

The device works by sending requests for coordinates such as SMS via the cellular GSM network, the GPRS standard of the cellular GSM network or via WiFi on the cellular GSM network via GPS (Global Positioning System) via requests. The obtained coordinates are entered in any type of topographic software such as GOOGLE EARTH and others. and the exact location of the object is determined.

Possibility for settings via a module for wireless connection with mobile devices, in particular BLUETOOTH, via a password for controlled access and activation of operating modes via a mobile application for smartphone and tablet supported by Android - Google Play / IOS - App Store:

• operating mode FREE - the object is in motion and is used by the owner, in this mode positioning is performed, but there is no signal transmission through the GSM network. The user-owner can periodically, remotely activate the data transmission modes to monitor the movement of the object, to receive data on the technical condition of the device or to make various settings;

• ALARM operating mode - in this mode the object is parked and its coordinates are automatically saved. The built-in temperature sensor or vibration and shock sensor is activated and the device reports changed coordinates via GPS (Global Positioning System). This happens when the coordinates change from the last ones, but the device sends data only to an authorized user. When activating the ALARMA operating mode, the notified authorized user signals the police and reports an encroachment on the site and possible theft. An authorized user can be the owner or an authorized representative.

When the site is searched by the police, the last reported coordinates of the device can be transmitted in order to identify the thief through public video surveillance.

When the battery drops below 20% of capacity, the device sends a reminder that the battery needs to be charged or replaced, along with each message sent, and the battery level indicator is activated.

These and other aspects and characteristics are clarified below in the figures shown.
