Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of automatic payment devices, of the terminal, terminal, parking meter type, made available to the public and more particularly the protection of these devices against fraudulent attacks.
- these deterrents must have the function on the one hand of detecting a possible attack and on the other hand of signaling this attack.
- Public payment terminals are already known which are intended to be installed in the streets of a city and which have means of deterrence against attacks.
- Each of these known terminals has a connection to the telephone network and means for detecting a possible attack.
- the object of the invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art by providing a deterrent solution against terminal attacks which is both reliable and inexpensive.
- a first object and the invention relates to a method for monitoring a plurality of terminals, in particular parking meters, in which at least first and second terminals are equipped with communication means enabling said first and second terminals to communicate with each other and with a central monitoring station.
- the method comprises a monitoring protocol according to which the first and second terminals must be called, preferably mutually and at a predetermined rate, and in the event of no call and / or non-response from the second terminal, said first terminal is able to call the monitoring center to inform it of the abnormal situation concerning the second terminal.
- the implementation of this method causes each of the terminals to monitor its neighbors and to be itself monitored by its neighbors.
- This monitoring takes place using inter-terminal communications that do not require telecommunication operator charges.
- a telephone call to the central monitoring station is only triggered when an anomaly has actually occurred, that is to say when one of the terminals detects the absence of response from one of its neighbors or when one of the terminals detects an attack attempt against it.
- the surveillance protocol further comprises a step according to which each of the terminals signals a possible fraudulent attack against it by contacting the surveillance central directly or by contacting a neighboring terminal which will be responsible for contacting the central of surveillance.
- the communications between the terminals can be carried out by means of a local radio network.
- communications between a terminal and the monitoring center can be carried out by means of a telephone network open to the public.
- a device for monitoring a plurality of terminals in particular parking meters, of the type comprising at least first and second terminals which are neighboring one another and equipped s means of communication allowing said first and second terminals to communicate with each other and with a central monitoring station, the first and second terminals s having to call each other at a chosen rate and the device comprising monitoring means housed in the minus the first terminal and suitable in the event of no call and / or non-response from the second terminal to call the monitoring center to inform it of the abnormal situation concerning the second terminal.
- the invention also has for its object and a terminal comprising communication means making it possible to communicate with at least one second terminal and with a central monitoring and control means ensuring the transmission of calls to said second terminal and of s monitoring means suitable in the event of no call and / or non-response from the second terminal to call the monitoring center (4) to inform it of the abnormal situation concerning the second terminal.
- said terminal must call at least one neighboring terminal at a chosen rate
- the terminal also comprises means for detecting fraudulent attacks and is capable of signaling a possible attack against it by directly contacting the monitoring center or by contacting a neighboring terminal which will be responsible for contacting the central monitoring station.
- the means allowing said terminal to communicate with the other terminals may include a radio transmitter-receiver device.
- the means allowing said terminal to communicate with the central monitoring unit may include means for connection to a telephone network open to the public.
- FIG. 1 shows a pair of parking meters and a monitoring center, a first parking meter receiving a call from 'a second parking meter
- - Figure 2 shows a pair of parking meters and a monitoring center, a first parking meter making a call to a second parking meter.
- the assembly represented in FIGS. 1 and 2 is composed of a park of parking meters reduced to the minimum for reasons of clarity (two parking meters 1, 2 only), of a telephone network 3 and of a schematic surveillance center by a microcomputer 4.
- the telephone network 3 is a wireless network such as the European GSM network but can be any communication network, for example open to the public such as the wired PSTN network and the like.
- the central monitoring station 4 has computer processing means connected to the telephone network 3 and able to receive and process calls from a parking meter 1; 2.
- the parking meters 1, 2 making up the fleet are equipped with computer means for processing information and are also equipped with means for connecting to the telephone network 3 capable of calling the central monitoring station 4 and transmitting an alert signal to it.
- the alert signal is presented as a binary code developed by the computer equipment of a parking meter 1; 2 and transmitted in modulated form via the telephone network 3 to the monitoring center 4.
- the central monitoring station 4 demodulates the received signal to obtain the initial binary code and identifies it as an alert signal.
- the parking meters 1, 2 are also equipped with radio transmission means making each parking meter capable of communicating with all of the parking meters in the coverage area of its transmission means.
- the transmission means consist of network cards that meet the IEEE 802 wireless transmission standards.
- 1 1 1 b allowing the parking meters to communicate with each other using the TCP / IP protocol, such a protocol is not given for illustrative purposes and is not limitative of the present invention.
- Communication between the parking meters is preferably carried out using a WLL (wireless local loop) type network, that is to say a wireless radio network.
- WLL wireless local loop
- Different frequency ranges can be used and in particular the infrared frequencies, Blue Tooth protocol for example.
- the advantage of such a communication method is that it is free.
- the park of parking meters 1, 2 is installed in the streets of a city so that each one is in the area of coverage of the electromagnetic transmission means of at least one other parking meter.
- each parking meter contacts at least its nearest neighbor whose contact details have been previously communicated to it to verify that it is operating properly and is, therefore, itself contacted by its neighbors.
- a call code and a confirmation code are defined.
- each parking meter sends the call code and waits for the confirmation code to consider that the contacted parking meter is working properly.
- each parking meter ' must also send the confirmation code to each of the parking meters requesting it by sending the call code.
- FIG. 1 represents a parking meter 2 sending the call code to a neighboring parking meter 1 and FIG. 2 represents a similar situation, the parking meter 1 this time sending the confirmation code in response to the parking meter 2.
- the sending of the call code illustrated in FIG. 1 does not occur and the parking meter 1, which periodically waits for the call code from the parking meter 2 , detects the silence of this parking meter 2 and interprets this as a failure of the parking meter 2.
- the parking meter 1 then telephones the central monitoring station 4 and transmits the alert code to it, identifying the parking meter 2 which has remained silent.
- the sending of the confirmation code illustrated in FIG. 2 does not occur and the parking meter 2, which waits for the confirmation code from parking meter 1, detects the silence of this parking meter 1 and interprets this as a failure of the parking meter 1.
- the parking meter 2 then telephones the central monitoring station 4 and transmits the alert code identifying the parking meter 1 which has remained silent.
- each parking meter is also equipped with attack detection means capable of detecting physical attacks such as a set of sensors arranged on the components of the parking meter and also capable of detecting attacks on its communication channels.
- attack detection means capable of detecting physical attacks such as a set of sensors arranged on the components of the parking meter and also capable of detecting attacks on its communication channels.
- computer security devices reporting an attempt at electromagnetic interference or fraudulent connection to the computer equipment of the parking meter.
- this parking meter In the event that a parking meter detects such an attack on itself, this parking meter has the possibility on the one hand of calling itself the central monitoring station 4 to declare itself the victim of an attack or, on the other hand to transmit an alert signal to one of its neighbors who will contact the central monitoring station.
