Description

Obd wifi anti-theft device including a transmitter and a receiver

The present invention relates to a portable obd wifi receiver and anti-theft or wifi diagnostic socket

portable and anti-theft, which will replace the obd port

original vehicles also called diagnostic outlet of origin, present in the passenger compartment of all vehicles (obd2 standard since 2006). In order to proceed with

maintenance, the OBD port or diagnostic socket is

indispensable because it is the main gateway to the brain of a vehicle. Thus placed in the cockpits, its permanent presence makes it the vulnerable point of a car. Indeed, in France, 350 vehicles are

stolen every day, and one of the techniques used in the vast majority of flights, simply requires plugging into the original diagnostic socket (original obd port) of a vehicle, a pc with software

constructor or malicious computer hardware, 10 seconds will then be enough to hack and circumvent the anti-start safety of the vehicle. Technique called flying with the mouse or foam jacking. A technique makes it possible to reverse the meaning of

Son of the original diagnostic socket (port obd

of origin) which cancels the manufacturer's warranty, to put them in order when we connect a specific box to the original diagnostic socket (original OBD port), which does not eliminate the risks of the original diagnostic outlet is always accessible. (JADAUTO France) Another technique is to surround and enclose the original diagnostic socket (original OBD port) in a locked case with a lock. Like a padlock, to access the diagnostic socket of origin (port obd of origin) it is necessary

have at least one of the two keys set

provision of the owner, which does not eliminate the risk of theft, the original diagnostic socket (original OBD port) is still accessible. (AUTO CYB

England)

Another technique is an obd Wifi box which connects to the original diagnostic socket (original OBD port) and allows to alert the owner of an attempted theft via an application downloaded by the vehicle owner who receives a sms as soon as there is an intrusion, which does not eliminate the risks of theft, the original diagnostic socket (original OBD port) being always accessible. (CARLOCK France)

Another technique relates to a box equipped with a magnetic card. Plugging in to the socket

diagnosis of origin (obd port of origin), the case will be definitively saddled to the diagnostic socket (original port obd) by a thermoformed plastic packaging, which cancels the manufacturer's warranty. A second magnetic card is made available to the owner.

To communicate with the vehicle, the two magnetic cards must be brought together and put in contact. This does not eliminate the risk of theft, the diagnostic outlet of origin (obd port of origin) being always accessible. (OBD BLOCKER England)

The obd wifi receiver box according to the invention has been designed to avoid these disadvantages. It will replace the original diagnostic socket (original OBD port) of a vehicle, accompanied by a device that also includes an obd wifi transmitter box and a secure and encrypted application.

The emitter obd wifi, will be connected to the original diagnostic socket (original obd port). It will be parameterized by computer coding, via a transponder integrated into the external box, coupled to the transponder of the vehicle, thanks to a QR code scanned by the application, and by the biometric reading of the owner's fingerprint (only during installation of the device). It will remain connected to the original diagnostic socket (original OBD port) which will be permanently moved and hidden in the vehicle but preserved in its original state, which keeps the manufacturer's warranty. The diagnostic socket of origin (original OBD port) will be, at that time, now inaccessible.

Connected to the original diagnostic socket (original OBD port) of the vehicle, the obd wifi transmitter will be programmed to retrieve the data necessary for the maintenance of a vehicle, in order to send them to the vehicle.

obd wifi receiver via the app. The obd wifi receiver which will replace and which will now act as a single diagnostic socket (original OBD port) of a vehicle, will be parameterized by computer coding via a transponder integrated into the external box, coupled to the transponder of the vehicle.

(only when installing the device). Then thanks to a QR code scanned by the application, and by the biometric reading of the fingerprint of the

owner (during the installation but also during each use of the obd wifi receiver). It will then be returned to the vehicle owner.

The receiver obd wifi will be programmed to recover the data necessary for the maintenance of the vehicle, emitted by the transmitter obd wifi via

application, in order to redistribute them to automotive diagnostic equipment during a review.

Once configured, installed and now unique to a single vehicle thanks to computer coded coupling, their respective transponders to the transponder of the vehicle, fit for a single

owner thanks to the biometric scan of his fingerprint sent to the application, and recognized by the said application by scanning their respective QR codes, the obd wifi transmitter and the obd wifi receiver will not communicate and can not be activated or

disabled only from the encrypted and secure application that will require the creation of a personal account, a personal password, a professional password. The professional password will be chosen by the owner and sent by SMS for review, to the automotive professionals likely

to perform the maintenance.

The method of activating and using the Receiver obd wifi, implementing the application for Smartphone comprises the following steps:

Scanning of the bar code / QR code assigned to the OBD receiver wifi, by and since 1 'application

Biometric scan of the fingerprint of the owner of the device and the vehicle by and from the obd wifi receiver

Sending the biometric scan

the scanned fingerprint,

receiver to the application

Sending the wifi signal from the obd wifi receiver box to the said

application .

Sending the successful WIFI connection message between the receiver and

the application, to the application

Reception by the obd wifi receiver of the data, from application to receiver, ordered from

the application by activating the

communication from the application to the receiver.

Data transfer by the receiver obd wifi, to the diagnostic equipment for the revision, ordered from the application by a command

transfer authorization. Each motorist will have in his

possession, the only means of communicating with his vehicle. Connecting to the diagnostic socket (obd port) of a vehicle to steal it will become impossible.

It is equipped with the receiver obd wifi that every motorist will go to his dealer, or to

technical control or within a car center to carry out a revision, control or emptying.

The obd wifi receiver will not change the owner's habits in the day-to-day use of his vehicle, nor the habits of authorized mechanics, dealers or automobile centers in carrying out the maintenance, overhaul or maintenance procedure. conventional diagnostics, since the data broadcast by the original diagnostic socket (original OBD port) during a conventional maintenance, will be the same as those recovered by the transmitter obd wifi and redistributed as they, via the application, to the portable obd wifi receiver, which will broadcast them to the diagnostic device of the automotive professional.

The scheme will ensure the security of

users because when the vehicle is running, the transmitter obd wifi will be off and emit no wifi signal, which will make it impossible to take any control of remote vehicle controls by

hacking, and, keeping nothing in mind, there will be no risk of recovery by hacking data extracted from the original diagnostic socket (original OBD port). In case of breakdown of the vehicle, the device will not prevent the repair of it, because even if a failure occurred to kilometers away from the driver's home while the receiver obd wifi is there, the diagram of concealing the diagnostic socket

origin (original obd port), (specific to each

vehicle) will only be available at the request of the vehicle owner. (Because this information

confidential will be stored on secure server).
