Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a radio receiver for a motor vehicle, comprising a removable part in which are housed elements performing an indispensable function of the receiver and provided with keys and a display screen.
  • Such a radio receiver is protected against theft, because the removable part has essential functions, and therefore the use of the receiver is impossible when it is removed.
  • a vehicle radio receiver equipped with such a removable anti-theft part is known from document EP-A-0 253 947.
  • the car radio has a removable part and the functions of the remaining part of the receiver are interrupted when 'the removable part is removed.
  • the invention proposes to increase the possibilities of such a removable part.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is remarkable in that the removable part is provided with a programmable time measurement circuit, with means for programming the time measurement circuit using said keys, and d '' a sound element triggered by the time measurement circuit when the programmed time has elapsed.
  • the user has a means to be notified for example that his parking time has expired, without having to buy a timer and to burden himself with an additional element.
  • the invention is therefore based on the idea that one can take advantage of elements already present in the removable part to provide unexpected additional services.
  • the removable part is provided with means for displaying the programmed time on demand on the display screen.
  • Such a timer in a separate embodiment, would have its own display screen and its own keys, while these elements are already present in the removable part of the device.
  • the removable part is advantageously provided with a memory, means for entering data therein using said keys, and means for displaying this data on the display screen.
  • said removable part being provided with a generator circuit capable of generating several sequences of pulses and of means for sending one of these suites on demand by means of infrared light, this generator circuit is provided with means to generate sequences of pulses intended for the adjustment of certain vehicle functions.
  • said removable part to control, possibly remotely, certain functions of the vehicle, such as setting the time of the watch, adjusting the air conditioning, etc.
  • said removable part For a motor vehicle equipped with a system for locking or unlocking door locks by remote control by means of infrared light, it is also advantageous for said removable part to be provided with a generator circuit capable of generating a series coded pulses suitable for controlling the vehicle locks, and means for sending said sequence of pulses by means of infrared light emitted by a light-emitting diode, when one of the keys is pressed.
  • the single figure shows in perspective an apparatus according to the invention with a removable part.
  • the radio receiver for a motor vehicle which is shown has a main body 1 which can receive a removable front 2 which is housed in a receptacle 3, at the bottom of which electrical contacts 6 allow interconnections between the removable part 2 and the body 1 of the receiver when the removable part is in place in the receptacle 3.
  • the removable part includes, inside, elements performing an indispensable function of the receiver, for example a tuner. It is provided with keys 5 to allow control of the function in question and a display screen 4 for displaying the results obtained by said command.
  • the keys can for example be keys marked "+” and "-” which respectively increase the frequency of the received wave or decrease it, the screen indicating the value of this frequency as and when She changes. There may also be numbered keys for selecting channels or entering a frequency by its numeric value, and so on.
  • the screen is used to display the time, and the keys to set the watch to the time.
  • the removable part is provided with a programmable time measurement circuit.
  • the removable part In the case where the removable part has the functions of a watch, it is ultimately almost the entire watch which would be removable, with its time measurement circuit.
  • Special keys are provided for programming this time measurement circuit.
  • the keys provided for the tuner of the radio receiver or for setting the time of the watch can also be used to program the time measurement circuit, for example if it is planned to press at the same time another key to give a second meaning to certain keys.
  • An audible element is provided, triggered by the programmable time measurement circuit, when the programmed time has elapsed.
  • a microprocessor is provided in modern radio receivers to manage the control and the functions of the tuner as well as to manage the display and this microprocessor can be programmed. in a known manner to constitute a time counter, and to "read" the actuation of certain keys and make software connections accordingly.
  • the programmed time is displayed on the display screen. This can happen continuously when you have selected the time measurement, then progressively indicating the decrease in the remaining time. It can also be expected that this time is displayed only when certain keys are pressed.
  • the removable part is provided with a memory into which it is possible to enter data.
  • the microprocessor manages on command the entry of data in the memory by means of the said keys actuated by the user, then when pressing certain keys, their recall from the memory and their display on the screen of display.
  • the removable part is further provided with a generator circuit of pulse sequences coded in infrared light, generating on demand several different pulse sequences.
  • These pulse sequences can be obtained by means of the same microprocessor, associated with an amplifier to amplify the pulses and apply them to a light-emitting diode 9, so as to send said pulse sequence by means of infra-red light.
  • special keys can be provided to trigger the sending of this series of pulses, but keys provided for the tuner can also fulfill this function.
  • the receiver body is provided with an infrared light receiving element 8, and decoding circuits, not shown, known per se, to interpret the different sequences of pulses received by the receiving element 8 and to react accordingly, as is used for example in televisions, for adjusting parameters such as sound volume, stereo balance, etc.
  • decoding circuits not shown, known per se, to interpret the different sequences of pulses received by the receiving element 8 and to react accordingly, as is used for example in televisions, for adjusting parameters such as sound volume, stereo balance, etc.
  • the pulse generator circuit is designed to generate, always by ad hoc programming of the microprocessor and by means from the same amplifier and the same light-emitting diode, pulses capable of controlling the vehicle locks.
  • the removable part can then be used interchangeably in place of the usual remote control key, to lock and unlock the vehicle doors.
  • the receiver body In addition to the anti-theft effect constituted by the removal of the removable part, it is possible to provide the receiver body with a system of locking of its functions, which is unlockable by means of a secret code, supplied in the form of a series of pulses. Since the motor vehicle is also equipped with a bus (not shown) for transmitting orders from a centralized system for locking or unlocking door locks, the receiver body is provided with a connector 7 for connection to said bus. . This connector is shown on the side of the body to be visible, but it is obvious that it will rather be placed in practice at the rear.
  • the series of pulses constituting the secret door opening code is transmitted by the aforementioned bus, and therefore brought to the connector 7, by a centralized system for locking or unlocking the door locks, when the motorist unlocks the doors by means its remote control key or the removable part.
  • the receiver body is equipped with means for recognizing the series of electrical pulses which is brought by the bus to the connector 7. Thus the radio receiver is locked and unlocked at the same time as the doors and by the same code.
  • the supply of the removable part, when it is detached from the receiver, is carried out by means of one or more compact batteries.
  • the detachable part can also, for example, be inserted into a slot in the front, like a credit card in a card reader .
  • the removable part which of course includes a timer, can also include an infrared control radio functions red, and a memory aid.
  • the receiver function locking system which can be unlocked by means of a secret code, supplied in the form of a pulse sequence, can be actuated by a bus even when the central locking system or unlocking the locks is operated by an ordinary mechanical key.
