Description

ONLINE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR MOTOR VEHICLES
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an online monitoring system for motor vehicles, which can be used particularly in anti-theft systems for motor vehicles.
Background Art
Online appliances are known which, once installed on board a vehicle, are able to detect the modes of use of the vehicle itself over time.
These appliances are used, e.g., in the insurance sector, to determine customized fees on the basis of the actual use of the vehicle or for the post-determination and post-assessment of sudden events such as accidents.
The appliances of known type generally comprise a control unit which can be installed on board the vehicle, inside the passenger compartment, and which can be connected to the electronics of the vehicle itself.
Such appliances also comprise a radio-wave device of the type commonly used in the mobile phone field capable of communicating by means of conventional mobile communication standards.
The transceiver, in particular, supports the sending of the information collected by the appliance towards a data remote storage and processing station.
These appliances generally also comprises a satellite receiver, of the type of a GPS receiver or equivalent, which allows the location of the vehicle by means of the detected coordinates of latitude, longitude and, possibly, altitude.
In actual facts, the operation of the appliance provides for the collection at regular time intervals of information relating to the position of the vehicle by means of the GPS receiver and the subsequent transmission of such information to the remote control station by means of the radio-wave transceiver.
The information thus collected by the remote control station is then processed to determine useful data for the specific scope of application.
Further information may be collected by the appliance through the use of additional devices such as, e.g., an accelerometer installed on the vehicle and adapted to detect abrupt accelerations and decelerations.
The accelerometer, in particular, can be used in the insurance field to determine how an accident has occurred and, therefore, the responsibilities related thereto. In particular, the presence of the accelerometer allows detecting sudden accelerations and decelerations of the vehicle due to the occurrence of an accident, thus allowing the reconstruction of the accident itself.
In addition, the accelerometer can be used to detect any theft or attempted theft of the vehicle.
In addition, the use is known of auxiliary online devices used in conjunction with conventional online appliance.
In particular, such auxiliary online devices are self-powered and, therefore, they are provided with their own internal power supply battery.
In addition, similar to the main online appliance installed on the vehicle, such auxiliary online devices are provided with a locating unit, e.g. of the type of a GPS receiver, and with a radio-wave communication unit, e.g. of the type of a conventional transceiver for mobile phones.
Generally, such auxiliary online devices are located in different positions inside the vehicle and are configured to activate periodically in order to send further control signals to the remote control station.
The solutions of known type do, however, have some drawbacks.
In particular, the auxiliary online devices are generally configured to activate periodically, e.g., once a day, to send the collected data, e.g., the position data, to the remote processing station.
Therefore, since the auxiliary online devices are self-powered, this can lead to battery exhaustion in a short time, with the consequent need to plan the periodic replacement of the devices themselves or, even more critically, with the consequent possibility of a lack of communication with the remote control station.
Description of the Invention
The main aim of the present invention is to devise an online monitoring system for motor vehicles which allows limiting the consumption of the auxiliary online devices, while at the same time ensuring effective operation of the same.

Furthermore, still according to the preferred embodiment shown in Figure 1 , the verification and signaling unit 10 comprises activation means 13 operationally connected to the short-range communication unit 11 and configured to:
- periodically activate the short-range communication unit 11 to send the control signal CNTRL, and to
- bring the auxiliary online device 6 from the low-power configuration to the operational configuration in case of non-receipt of the confirmation signal ACK.
According to a possible embodiment, the auxiliary online device 6 also comprises an auxiliary unit of measurement of the acceleration 14.
Advantageously, the system 1 according to the invention can be used as an antitheft or monitoring system, in general, capable of protecting not only the motor vehicle A itself but also any trailers R and the goods or objects, in general, transported by them.
An example of a possible application is schematically shown in Figure 2.
Specifically, in such a case the system 1 comprises a plurality of auxiliary online devices 6 operationally connected to the main online device 2, to define a network of auxiliary online devices 6.
Advantageously, the main online device 2 is fitted on the motor vehicle A, while the auxiliary online devices 6 are as sociable with objects transported by the motor vehicle A, such as product packages, individual products or the like, or towed by the motor vehicle itself, such as the trailer R of a truck.
A further possible application is schematically shown in Figure 3.
In particular, in such a case the system 1 comprises a main online device 2 fitted on a motor vehicle and powered by the battery B of the motor vehicle itself. An auxiliary online device 6 may be suitably located in a hidden and/or difficult to reach position on the motor vehicle. In this way, the auxiliary online device 6 is able to intervene in the event of tampering with the main device 2.
The following describes the management method of the system 1 according to the invention.
In particular, the method comprises the preparation of the auxiliary online device 6 in the low-power configuration, wherein at least the auxiliary locating unit 8 and the auxiliary communication unit 9 are disabled.
Next, the method comprises the verification of the communication between the auxiliary online device 6 and the main online device 2.
