Abstract

The device has a portable mobile control device (1) e.g. mobile phone, controlling a safety component e.g. illumination system, global positioning system (14), alarm system (10) and anti-theft protection device, which is firmly mounted at a bicycle. The safety component is wirelessly controlled such that the component is activated and deactivated during operation or during a resting condition of the bicycle. A wheel lock (3) with a radio reception module is provided at two wheels of the bicycle, and a steel cable lock (4) is provided at a rear wheel of the bicycle.

Description

The invention relates to a device which is used for two-wheeled driving safety and anti-theft device, wherein individual safety components are controlled and controlled integrally by means of a mobile control unit (1) via radio (Fig. 3). Preferably, a new generation of mobile phones to be retrofitted with special control functions, which allow the control and regulation of the following, fixed to the bicycle safety components, with a simple operation.

Driving safety:

Lighting system (5), consisting of a headlight (6), a red tail light (7), a turn signal system (8) and a stop light (9)

Anti-theft device:

[0003] Wheel lock (3) on the front wheel and a combined wheel and steel cable lock (27) on the rear wheel Navigation system GPS (14) for theft detection (15) and route guidance (16) Alarm system (10)

The power supply of these devices is carried out by a powerful battery (17), which can be charged, for example from the outlet or by a hub dynamo and in addition to solar cells.

The entire system is developed so that acquired within the meaning of the modular principle only some of the above safety components, or other components can be retrofitted at a later date. This is made possible by the fact that the additional software required for the mobile phone already takes into account the control and regulation of all components. The software can also be supplemented to the extent that also here not listed other components that can be found in two-wheel application, controlled and regulated.

In the current state of the art, it should be noted that some of these aforementioned safety components are already available on the market, or are available for these patents. In these, however, there is the disadvantage that they are not controlled by a central control unit, but must be operated individually manually. It should also be mentioned that the GPS navigation systems for two-wheelers available on the market exclusively serve to guide the route. Another disadvantage is that to avoid theft of individual devices on the bicycle can not be permanently mounted. The two-wheeled owner must therefore dismantle the equipment after leaving the two-wheeler and carry with him.

The present invention therefore meets the objective that the individual devices that serve the driving safety and theft protection when two-wheeler are integral with each other and are controlled and controlled by a simple operation via radio. Patented or available on the market security components should therefore be equipped with the necessary radio modules and with the mobile control unit (1), preferably controlled and regulated by the retrofitted with a software phone. It should be noted that the radio frequencies within the legally permissible frequency range and the radio performance are designed only for very short distances and are different for each safety package, so that incorrect transmission to other such systems are avoided.

All assembled components are also attached to a specially designed anti-theft screw on the bicycle and thus need not be dismantled when leaving the bicycle.

The mobile control unit (1) - preferably a mobile phone - is equipped with an additional software that controls the individual components by a single pressing a button / touch screen as follows and controls:

Condition: The bicycle is parked <tb> 1. <sep> Activation of wheel locks (3) <tb> 2. <sep> Activation of the alarm system (10) <tb> 3. <sep> Shutdown of turn signal (8) and stop light (9) <tb> 4. <sep> Deactivation of the headlight twilight sensor (6) / red taillight (7)

Condition: The two-wheeler is put into operation <tb> 1. <sep> Deactivation of the alarm system (10) <Tb> <sep> <tb> 2. <sep> Deactivation of the navigation system GPS (14) (if a theft location due to an alarm message has previously taken place) <tb> 3. <sep> Deactivation of the wheel locks (3) and the steel cable lock (4) <tb> 4. <sep> Activation of the twilight sensor for the headlight (6) / red tail light (7)

With another button / touch screen can be on the mobile control unit (1) before or while driving the GPS navigation system (14) for routing (16) activated and deactivated again.

For this purpose, a special bracket is mounted on the two-wheeler in the balance of the mobile control unit so that the cyclist can be followed by the cyclist while driving the GPS route. The special control functions for the mobile phone must also be geared to supplementing the control and regulation of additional new components that can be used on two-wheelers.

The lighting system consisting of a headlight with twilight sensor (6) on the front a red tail light with twilight sensor (7) on the back a stop light (9) on the back a turn signal system (8) on the front and back

Is switched on and off by the mobile control unit (1) via radio so that the two-wheeler in the rest position, these facilities can not be operated by third parties. The headlight (6) and the red tail light (7) are each operated by an integrated twilight sensor in operation and out of service. The two turn signals (8) on the front and back of the bicycle are activated by radio, i. The two indicators on the front each have a push-button installed, which activates the front and rear turn signals and deactivates them again. The stop light is switched on and off during braking by special built-in brake contacts.

Accordingly, the individual devices for control are to be supplemented as follows: Installation of a radio receiver module (19) in the twilight sensors Installation of a radio receiver module (19) in the turn signal u. Traffic light system (back) Installation of a radio reception (19) and radio transmission module (18) in the turn signal system (front)

The anti-theft device (2) consists of a wheel lock (3) on the front wheel, which is electromagnetically sealed with a locking and unlocking mechanism of the mobile control unit (1) via radio and unlocked again. To control the wheel lock the installation of a radio receiver module (19) is necessary.

At the rear wheel in Fig. 4) a novel combined device is provided which consists of an identical wheel lock (3) as in the front wheel and an integrated special steel cable lock (4). A new feature of this steel cable lock is that a steel cable (32) is wound onto a highly developed spring-loaded system (30). At the end of the steel cable a lock (31) is present, which is manually latched when attaching the bicycle to an object on the steel cable (32). In the device (27) a radio receiving module (19) for both locks is present, the mobile control unit (1) closes only the wheel lock via radio and unlocks the steel cable lock again.

To improve the anti-theft device (2), a further device (23) is developed, in which the following safety components are integrated: an alarm system (10) a navigation system GPS (14) one headlamp incl. twilight sensor (6)

The placement of these devices in a device (23) is therefore useful, since between the individual safety systems listed below control-technical connections and these need only one battery (17) to power.

The alarm system (10) is activated and deactivated by the mobile control unit (1). If the bicycle is shaken for longer than a defined period, a siren alarm is triggered by a built-in motion detector and at the same time an audible and visual alarm transmission (11) (12) on the mobile control unit (1) completed. The two-wheeled owner is thus informed immediately about the alarm event. At the same time, the alarm system (IO) activates the navigation system GPS (14) for theft detection (15) via radio, which triggers an image transmission to the display of the mobile control unit (1). From this point on, the two-wheeled owner can follow a possible theft of the bicycle to the destination. This is only possible because the navigation system GPS (14) on the one hand integrated in the combined device (23) and is firmly mounted on the bicycle and on the other hand, the tracking of the theft of the mobile control unit (1). Since the distance from the alarm (10) - and navigation system (14) to the mobile control unit (1) in a theft event can be very large, the mutual radio transmissions via the local mobile radio network (24).

The navigation system GPS (14) thus meets the target that in this not only a route guidance (16), but also a theft location (15) is possible. Similar locating devices already exist for cars and trucks, but not for two-wheelers. The integration of the headlight (6) in the combined device (23), the activation and deactivation of the headlamp (6) is also technically simplified by the also integrated therein twilight sensor. Consequently, the following control equipment should be supplemented as follows: Installation of a radio reception (19) and radio transmission module (18) in the alarm system (10) Installation of a radio receiver module (19) in the twilight sensor Installation of a radio reception (19) and radio transmission module (18) in the navigation system (14)
