Definitions

  • the invention relates to an on-board device for a vehicle and an arrangement comprising such an on-board device, an external activation device and an external service device.
  • the invention further relates to a method for a secure communication between an external service device and an on-board device for a vehicle.
  • Exemplary on-board devices that exchange data with external service devices are tolling on-board units, digital tachographs, on-board fleet management devices and advanced driver assistance systems.
  • the data volume that has to be sent from the external service device to the on-board device and/or from the on-board device to the external service device will increase in almost each application in which a regular data exchange is necessary, since the used hardware and software will be refined such that it will allow recording and/or processing a larger data volume to obtain better or more accurate results.
  • the data exchange between the on-board device and the external service device might also be used to manipulate the on-board device. Furthermore, an improperly conducted data exchange may lead to a damage of the on-board device and/or the external service device. Also, there are applications in which the data that has to be exchanged between the on-board device and the external service device is confidential. Therefore, the data connection between the on-board device and the external service device needs to be secure, such that unauthorized access is prevented.
  • the known physical data connections does always allow some interaction with the electronic control unit of the on-board device, since the electronic control unit has to initialize the external service device upon establishment of the physical connection to allow for a communication. Even when the software requires an authorization, for instance by requesting account information such as user name and password, a data exchange between the on-board device and the external service device is established and might be used to manipulate one of the devices or the data to be exchanged.
  • Wireless data connections provide a more secure data transfer and are more protected against unauthorized access.
  • wireless data connections feature significantly lower data transfer rates than physical data connections.
  • particular wireless data connections such as mobile communication is accompanied by high costs, because wireless networks of commercial providers have to be used.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a solution that allows for a quick and secure data transfer between an on-board device for a vehicle and an external service device.
  • the object is solved by means of the on-board device for a vehicle according to claim 1.
  • the on-board device comprises a first communication module configured for receiving an activation signal from an external activation device.
  • the on-board device further comprises a second communication module configured for communicating with an external service device and for being switched between an activated state and a deactivated state and an electronic control unit configured for activating the second communication module upon receipt of the activation signal at the first communication module.
  • a secure communication between the on-board device and the external service device can take place independent from the type of connection between the on-board device and the external service device.
  • a data transfer from the service device to the on-board device or from the on-board device to the service device is only possible when the second communication module of the on-board device is in the activated state.
  • the second communication module is not able to perform any function; even the detection of a connected external service device does not take place.
  • the possibility to switch the second communication module of the on-board device between an activated state and a deactivated state leads to a more secure data transfer between the on-board device and the external service device without any limitations regarding the type of connection between the second communication module of the on-board device and the external service device.
  • This allows using any type of connection between the second communication module of the on-board device and the external service device that provides a high data transfer rate, independent from the level of security the type of connection provides.
  • the second communication module comprises an electrical connector for establishing a physical data connection with the external service device.
  • the electrical connector is an electro-mechanical device for joining electrical circuits.
  • a physical data connection allows for a high data transfer rate between the external service device and the on-board device.

It is preferred that the second communication module is configured to use high-speed wireless communication technology, such as Bluetooth or local area wireless computer networking technology, preferably using the 2.4 gigahertz ultra high frequency and/or the 5 gigahertz super high frequency industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio bands. Such wireless connection types also allow for a quick and secure data exchange.
  • high-speed wireless communication technology such as Bluetooth or local area wireless computer networking technology, preferably using the 2.4 gigahertz ultra high frequency and/or the 5 gigahertz super high frequency industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio bands.
  • ISM industrial, scientific and medical
  • the electrical connector is Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector.
  • USB Universal Serial Bus
  • a USB connector is a standardized connector type which already achieved a high degree of market penetration with respect to the coupling of electronic devices. The usage of a USB connector does not lead to increased hardware or software costs for the on-board device, since USB connectors are available in large quantities and for low rates. Furthermore, the software implementation is easy and tried and tested over years.
  • the electrical connector is a plug and/or socket connector, an 8P8C connector or a D-subminiature connector.
  • These connector types are also used in some fields of technology and provide another possibility to establish a data communication between the on-board device and the external service device featuring a high data transfer rate.
  • the first communication module is configured for wirelessly communicating with the external activation device. It is preferred that the first communication module is configured to communicate using at least one of the following standards: GSM, UMTS, LTE, WLAN, Bluetooth, RFIF or infrared data communication.
