DE19831118A1 - Automobile identification for theft prevention - Google Patents

Abstract

The automobile identification uses contactless electronic components which can be used for holding data specific to the automobile and the automobile owner. The electronic components are incorporated in the vehicle body during manufacture and used for controlling and monitoring the manufacturing process, with read-out of the data held by the electronic components via an inductive loop coupled to a stationary or hand-held microprocessor.

Description

foreword

The invention relates to a microprocessor-controlled vehicle identification system, the contactless (inductive) read all vehicle-relevant data (vehicle letter / certificate) and can write if necessary.

The high number of car thefts and not environmentally friendly disposal of Motor vehicles and bicycles prompted us to address this issue to think and invent a remedy.

Because people are officially identified by birth certificate and death certificate were detected, the idea was obvious, this also applies to mobile higher-value goods to do. Here we had the idea to equip vehicles with a possibility that it allows the path of a vehicle to be seamless from the manufacturing process to the Tracing waste disposal companies discreetly at any time and with little additional effort. That means the possibility of vehicle detection with the least effort in creating the body-in-white. Here there is the possibility of Marking a vehicle by means of identification to be punched in by e.g. B. Hieroglyphs or other means of detection using modern Electronics. Modern data systems offer several options.

Description of the invention 1) Manufacturing (automotive industry)

At the beginning of the manufacturing process, the automotive industry mostly turns out tinned sheet metal with the help of pressing plants individual parts such as roof area, Stamped base plate, etc. Already here, before joining the single raw parts in Schweiss-Straße must be a small, iduuctually readable and writable Microprocessor (built redundantly) in a later difficult to access location z. B. be installed in the roof area before frames and reinforcement parts (Roof bow) in Schweiss-Straße.  

This requires a relatively high temperature resistance of the electronic component. The the rest of the production process of the vehicle is still not changed (paint shop etc.). When hanging in the band, the body shell runs under an initial device through it. Here, contactless (inductive) basic data of the vehicle in the Microprocessor entered. This data of the vehicle can be used to use the Manufacturing process can be used in the factory. On the line at Vehicle equipment, the data is completed, the vehicle now has one Identity, which at the acceptance check of the quality assurance at the end of the line both in Microprocessor as well as stored internally.

2) Registration office (official registration)

This vehicle will be demonstrated at the registration office. With help of a location-based (entrance, gate or similar) or mobile reading and Input device (key) are the data of the vehicle owner and the Vehicle insurance contactlessly read / written, checked and checked may be changed (change of holder). That through communication like that Data obtained are reliable and can be used by the authorities without much additional Material / personnel expenses are used and processed immediately.

3) Vehicle inspection (police and insurance)

Each vehicle can be connected to a specific location or without contact using pure readers can be checked in a handy size because the license plate and holder data are in Microprocessor were saved with. Because the possibility of attaching multiple Sub-microprocessors (e.g. also on the front axle) is a readout Different reading options possible with the help of induction loops.  

4) Theft protection (insurance)

a:
Since the master processor is installed inside the body shell in the roof area, vehicle manipulation is only possible by destroying it. Since the roof area of most cars is a static vehicle part, replacing the roof area would make the vehicle manipulation more expensive so that it would be unprofitable for vehicle counterfeiting.

b: Integration of electrical vehicle systems
In the case of high-quality vehicles, there is the option of adding the microprocessor (e.g. system loops in conjunction with the electronic immobilizer) by means of read-out devices that are specially authorized to put the vehicle out of operation immediately in compliance with all safety regulations.
Integration of navigation systems is possible.

5) Disposal (environment)

Since the microprocessor is a passive component, the data stored in it remain preserved even after disconnecting the battery. Therefore, car wrecks can last longer Time can be identified via the last holder entry; with proper disposal the data will be deleted.
