By the way, considering the situation of the occurrence of vehicle theft in the past, the theft occurrence level, which indicates the easiness of the theft occurrence, varies greatly depending on the parking conditions such as the parking place and the time. As an anti-theft system, it is desirable to always monitor the vehicle at the maximum security level, but there are problems such as high cost.

Further, since the user cannot know the past theft occurrence status at the parking place that is arbitrarily selected, when the user sets the security level, the security level setting value for the theft occurrence level at the parking place is set. Sometimes it is too low. In addition, the user may not activate the anti-theft device with the intention of parking for a short time.

In addition, a plurality of vehicles in the vicinity are often damaged by a single vehicle theft. For this reason, the vehicle may be stolen after the parking, and the level of the theft may be different from that at the time of parking.

In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle antitheft system capable of appropriately setting a vehicle antitheft service.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.
~ It demonstrates based on FIG.

FIG. 1 shows the overall construction of a vehicle theft prevention system according to this embodiment. As shown in Figure 1,
The vehicle antitheft system includes an in-vehicle device 100 mounted in a vehicle and a vehicle antitheft management center 200 that manages antitheft in a vehicle in which the in-vehicle device 100 is installed. The on-vehicle device 100 and the management center 200 are connected to each other via a communication line (for example, a mobile phone network) 300 and are configured to be able to communicate with each other.

The vehicle anti-theft management center 200 exists between the vehicle user and the insurance company and provides the vehicle anti-theft service to the user by using information communication. When the user joins the vehicle theft insurance at the insurance company, the user receives the provision of the vehicle-mounted device 100 required for receiving the vehicle theft prevention service by the management center 200.

As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle-mounted device 100 has a peripheral monitoring sensor 101 for detecting an object approaching the vicinity of the vehicle by ultrasonic waves or radio waves as a monitoring function for preventing theft, photographing the inside of the vehicle and the periphery of the vehicle. The camera 102, the microphone 103 for detecting sounds inside and around the vehicle, and the recognition sensor 104 for recognizing the vehicle owner by, for example, a fingerprint or a voice are provided. Further, the vehicle-mounted device 100 includes a memory 105 that is a storage unit that can store various data, and an alarm 106 that issues an alarm when the possibility of theft is high. As an alarm by the alarm 106, a hazard, blinking of an interior light, and ringing of a horn can be performed.

The in-vehicle device 100 has, as functions conventionally provided, a GPS (parking place detecting means) 107 for detecting the current position of the vehicle, an immobilizer 108 for permitting the engine to be started by collating an ID code, radio waves and ultrasonic waves. An intrusion sensor 10 for detecting the presence or absence of an intruder into the vehicle compartment by means such as
9, an electronic key 110, a body ECU 111 that performs various controls regarding the body, an engine ECU 112 that performs various controls regarding the engine, and the like.

Further, in the in-vehicle device 100, opening / closing of the door, presence / absence of door lock, opening / closing of the trunk / bonnet,
It is possible to detect shaking of the vehicle body and the like, and control the vehicle speed, the torque converter and the like.

The in-vehicle device 100 has a communication control function.
A control panel 113, a security ECU 114 that performs various controls related to theft prevention, a firewall 115 that prevents unauthorized intrusion through the communication line 300, a communication device 116 that communicates with the outside, and the like are provided. The vehicle-mounted device 100 can transmit data such as various sensor signals and image data to the management center 200.

The in-vehicle device 100 is configured to transmit data indicating that the vehicle is in a normal state to the management center 200 at every preset predetermined time (for example, every 10 minutes). As a result, in the management center 200, when normal data is no longer transmitted from the in-vehicle device 100,
It can be judged that some abnormality has occurred in the parked vehicle.

The management center 200 includes a server computer 201, a communication device 202, a monitor control panel 203 and the like. The management center 200 monitors the parked vehicle based on various data transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 100. Further, the management center 200 is configured so that the in-vehicle device 100 can be remotely operated.

The management center 200 also includes three databases A to C. The database A stores data regarding the operating status of the in-vehicle device 100. The database B stores data on the setting of the theft occurrence level such as information on the parking place of the user vehicle and vehicle theft information on the vehicle theft in the past. The information about past theft includes the location of the theft, the time, the vehicle type, the content of the anomaly, the content of the crime (mischief, vandalism, vehicle theft, etc.), and the attempted or attempted attempt. The database C stores data necessary for determining the occurrence of an abnormality in the vehicle based on the transmission data from the vehicle-mounted device 100 and analyzing the content of the abnormality.

The vehicle user 400 has a mobile terminal 401 such as a mobile phone. The management center 200 can communicate with the user portable terminal 401 via the communication line 300.
You can send a message to. Further, the user portable terminal 401 is configured to be able to remotely operate the in-vehicle device 100 via the management center 200.

In the vehicle theft prevention system, it is desirable for the crime prevention to always monitor the vehicle with the maximum capacity of the system.
Dark current and communication cost are problems. Considering the occurrence status of vehicle theft, the level of theft occurrence varies greatly depending on the location and time. The theft occurrence level is an index that objectively indicates the likelihood of the occurrence of theft, and can be expressed by a graded evaluation. Therefore, it is desirable to take antitheft measures according to the level of theft occurrence.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the management center 20
0 provides multiple security levels for the vehicle theft prevention service. When the security level is high, it is easy to detect the occurrence of an abnormality, but the cost is high and the probability of malfunction is high. On the contrary, when the security level is low, it is difficult to detect the occurrence of an abnormality, but the cost is low and the probability of malfunction is low. With such a plurality of security levels, the user can select an anti-theft service having an appropriate security level according to the theft occurrence level.

A plurality of security levels can be provided by appropriately combining a plurality of services of different types. Specifically, a plurality of security levels can be provided by changing the contents of the monitoring conditions when the management center 200 monitors the vehicle. The monitoring conditions include the following monitoring modes and monitoring levels, and the monitoring conditions can be changed by changing the contents of these.

The monitoring modes include, for example, 1) a mode for waiting for an abnormality notification from the in-vehicle device 100, 2) a mode in which the management center 200 confirms the vehicle state and the communication state with respect to the in-vehicle device 100, and 3) a user operation. There is a mode in which the management center 200 confirms the vehicle state and the communication state with respect to the in-vehicle device 100 based on the request.

The monitoring levels include, for example, 1) the interval for confirming normality, 2) the type and number of sensors used for monitoring,
3) Criteria for occurrence of abnormalities, 4) Actions when abnormalities occur. By shortening the confirmation interval and using more sensors, the security level increases, but the cost also increases.

If the criterion for determining the occurrence of an abnormality is set low (for example, it is determined that an abnormality has occurred only by detecting a shake of the vehicle body), the occurrence of the abnormality is easy to detect and the security level is high, but the probability of malfunction also increases. . Examples of measures to be taken when an abnormality occurs include leaving (doing nothing), sounding a horn, alarming by blinking an interior light, taking an image with a camera, notifying a user, dispatching a guard, and the like.

In addition, a vehicle theft often causes a plurality of nearby vehicles to be damaged by a single crime. However, it is difficult for the user to know that the theft damage has occurred in the surrounding vehicles while parking. Therefore, in the vehicle theft prevention system according to the present embodiment, the vehicle user who parks in the vicinity of the vehicle in which the abnormality related to the theft has occurred is notified of the occurrence of the abnormality in the nearby vehicle (theft occurrence status). Is configured.

In this case, when an abnormality occurs in a vehicle existing within a predetermined distance set in advance from the parked vehicle, the user is notified of the abnormality occurrence in the surrounding vehicle. The predetermined distance can be set in advance by the user or can be automatically set depending on the parking place. For example, when the theft occurrence level is high, the setting area is expanded. Alternatively, the set area is adjusted according to the population density.

The user can register a desired monitoring condition in the management center 200 in advance and use it as an initial value of the monitoring condition.

In this embodiment, the management center 200 is configured to add a service point each time a vehicle theft prevention service is provided to the user. By summing up these service points, how much the user received the anti-theft service, in other words,
You can see how much the anti-theft service has contributed to vehicle theft prevention. Service items to which service points are added can be set arbitrarily. Further, in the anti-theft system of the present embodiment, different points of service points are set depending on the contents of service items, and different service charges are set depending on the type of service.

The operation of the vehicle antitheft system according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS.

First, the operation of the vehicle antitheft system when the user parks the vehicle will be described with reference to FIG. First, when the user parks the vehicle in a place where the anti-theft service is required, the anti-theft service start switch of the in-vehicle device 100 is input (step S10).
0). The security ECU determines whether the vehicle is ready to start the anti-theft service (step S101). Specifically, it is confirmed whether the window glass is not opened, the in-vehicle device 100 operates normally, or the like.

As a result, if any defect is detected in the vehicle, the user is informed of the defect item (step S1).
02), the user corrects the defective item (step S10).
3). Service points are added by pointing out the defective item to the user. When a service point is generated, the management center 20 in step S106 described below.
Included in data transmission to 0.

Next, the parking place is detected by the GPS 106 (step S104). Parking place, parking start time,
The conditions at the start of the anti-theft service including the vehicle type are registered in the memory 105 (step S105),
It transmits to the management center 200 (step S106). When the initial value of the monitoring condition is set in advance, this initial value is also transmitted to the management center 200.

The management center 200 calculates a statistical theft occurrence level based on the parking conditions such as the parking place and the vehicle theft information of the database B transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 100 (step S107). Specifically, 1) types of parking lot such as home parking lot, contract parking lot, temporary parking lot, blue sky parking, etc., 2) presence of parking lot door, 3) presence of parking lot manager, 4) past The stolen occurrence level is calculated based on the distance from the stolen place, 5) parking start time, and the like.

When the positioning accuracy is low and a plurality of parking lots are densely located, the management center sets the parking lot conditions (parking lot name, tower type, underground, blue sky parking lot, etc.). It is also possible to send a question to be confirmed to the in-vehicle device, and the user can select and interpolate.

The management center 200 determines the recommended value of the security level based on the theft occurrence level and sends it to the vehicle-mounted terminal 100 (step S108). That is,
When the theft occurrence level is high, the recommended security level is set high with emphasis on theft prevention, and when the theft occurrence level is low, the cost is emphasized and the recommended security level is set low. Alternatively, it can be encouraged to move to another secure car park. As a result, crime prevention awareness can be increased.

If the initial value of the security level preset by the user is higher than the recommended value determined in step S108, it is safer and the transmission of the recommended value to the vehicle-mounted terminal 100 may be omitted. However, if the user wants to be notified of all the recommended values, the recommended values are sent. As a result, it is possible to notify a user who normally sets a high security level that the level of theft occurrence at the parking place is high.

The user determines whether or not to change the security level based on the recommended value transmitted from the management center 200, and sets the security level again (step S109). The in-vehicle device 100 transmits the set value of the security level to the management center 200 (step S110).

The management center 200 registers the conditions at the time of starting the service in the database A (step S1).
11). At this time, the recommended value of the security level presented by the center 200 and the user setting value are registered. The management center 200 starts the anti-theft service on the in-vehicle terminal 100.
(Step S112). The user confirms that the anti-theft service has started, locks the door, and leaves the vehicle (step S113).

Next, the operation of the vehicle antitheft system when the peripheral monitoring sensor 101 operates will be described with reference to FIG. First, if something goes around the vehicle,
The periphery monitoring sensor 101 operates (step S20)
0). The in-vehicle device 100 writes to the memory 105 that the peripheral monitoring sensor 101 has been activated, and
00 (step S201). The transmission to the management center 200 is performed at midnight (for example, 24:00 to 4: 0).
It is possible to reduce the communication cost by only setting 0). In the management center 200, the peripheral monitoring sensor 10
The fact that 1 has been activated is received (step S202) and written in the database A (step S203).

The management center 200 starts the monitoring work of the parked vehicle based on the preset monitoring condition and instructs the in-vehicle device 100 to perform the monitoring work (step S204). The vehicle-mounted device 100 receives the instruction for the monitoring work from the management center 200 (step S205), and carries out the monitoring work based on the instruction content (step S206). For example, the management center 200 can remotely control the vehicle-mounted camera to collect information around the vehicle.

The in-vehicle device 100 transmits monitoring result data such as image data to the management center 200 (step S20).
7), the management center 200 refers to the database C and analyzes the monitoring result data (step S208). The management center 200, based on the analysis result of the monitoring result data,
It is determined whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the vehicle (step S209).

As a result, when it is determined that an abnormality has occurred, the management center 200 issues an operation instruction to the alarm 106 and the immobilizer 108 (step S210), and the vehicle-mounted device 100 operates the alarm 106 and the immobilizer 108 (step S210). S211). The management center 200
An abnormality occurrence message indicating that an abnormality has occurred in the vehicle is transmitted to the user portable terminal 401 (step S212). For the notification to the user, for example, the mail service of the mobile phone can be used.

The user receives the abnormality notification from the management center 200 (step S213), and the management center 200
If there is a special request item, the request item is instructed (step S214). The management center 200 executes the items requested by the user (step S215). Requested items by the user include, for example, dispatch of a guard to a parked vehicle. In this case as well, service points are added.

On the other hand, if it is not determined in step S209 that an abnormality has occurred, vehicle monitoring is continued in accordance with the monitoring conditions (step S216). Also in this case, an image is taken and held for a certain period. It can be used as evidence to identify a criminal in the case of later development such as theft. In this case as well, service points are added.

Next, the operation of the vehicle theft prevention system when the alarm 106 is activated will be described with reference to FIG. First, when there is a high possibility of theft, for example, when the intrusion sensor 109 detects an intrusion of someone into the vehicle, the alarm 106 is activated (step S300). The in-vehicle device 100 writes the fact that the alarm 106 is activated in the memory 105, and at the same time the management center 2
00 (step S301).

The management center 200 receives the information from the in-vehicle device 100 (step S302) and instructs the operation of the immobilizer 108 (step S303). The in-vehicle device 100 operates the immobilizer 108 (step S304). At this time, the immobilizer 108 is set so that it can only be released from the management center 200. The management center 200 uses the in-vehicle device 100 to generate an alarm 1
The fact that 06 is activated is written in the database A (step S305).

The management center 200 performs the monitoring work based on the monitoring condition set in advance, and at the same time, the in-vehicle device 10
The monitoring work is instructed to 0 (step S306). The vehicle-mounted terminal 100 receives the instruction from the management center 200 (step S307) and performs monitoring work (step S30).
8).

The in-vehicle device 100 transmits monitoring result data such as image data to the management center 200 (step S30).
9), the management center 200 refers to the database C and analyzes the monitoring result data (step S310). The management center 200, based on the analysis result of the monitoring result data,
It is determined whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the vehicle (step S311).

As a result, when it is determined that the abnormality related to the theft has occurred, the management center 200 sends a message to the user portable terminal 401 to notify the user that the abnormality has occurred in the vehicle. (Step S312).
The user receives the abnormality notification from the management center 200 (step S313) and, if there is a special request item to the management center 200, instructs the request item (step S314). The management center 200 executes the items requested by the user (step S315). Also in this case, service points are added.

When there is a vehicle which receives the anti-theft service around the abnormal vehicle, the management center 200 notifies the user of the peripheral vehicle that an abnormality has occurred in the surrounding area (step S316). At this time, in addition to the fact that an abnormality has occurred in the surrounding area, the current security level value of the surrounding vehicle user and the recommended security level value due to the occurrence of an abnormality in the surrounding area are transmitted to the user of the surrounding vehicle (step S317). This abnormality notification around the parked vehicle is issued even when the user has not set the start of the vehicle theft prevention service.

The peripheral user who has received the notification can know that an abnormality has occurred around his / her vehicle and can change the setting of the security level. Alternatively,
When the vehicle theft prevention service is not started, the service start setting can be set.

The management center 200 raises the monitoring level of the parked vehicles around (step S318). For example, images can be captured and guards can be dispatched on a regular basis. Also in this case, service points are added.

On the other hand, if it is not determined in step S311 that an abnormality has occurred, an instruction to release the immobilizer 108 is given (step S319), and the in-vehicle device 100 releases the immobilizer 108 (step S320). The management center 200 continues to monitor the vehicle according to the monitoring conditions (step S321). Also in this case, an image is taken and held for a certain period. It can be used as evidence to identify a criminal in the case of later development such as theft. In this case as well, service points are added.

Next, the operation of the anti-theft system when starting the engine will be described with reference to FIG. First, an engine start request is made by an engine start applicant (step S400). The in-vehicle device 100 determines whether or not the engine start is performed according to the regular procedure / procedure (step S401). Regular procedures / procedures mean that the engine is started after opening the door with a regular key and canceling the anti-theft service.

As a result, if it is determined that the engine starting procedure is not the proper procedure, the in-vehicle device 100 sends an engine starting request to the management center 200 (step S).
402). Upon receiving the engine start request (step S403), the management center 200 requests the engine start applicant to input the authentication data (step S40).
4). The vehicle-mounted device 100 transmits the authentication data input by the engine start applicant to the management center 200 (steps S405 and S406).

The management center 200 writes the received authentication data in the database A (step S407),
The authentication data is confirmed (step S409). As a result, if the authentication data is valid, the in-vehicle device 100
Is approved for engine start, and the fact is written in the database A (step S409). Also in this case, service points are added.

In the in-vehicle device 100, the engine is started (step S410), the anti-theft service is canceled (step S411), the service cancellation data is written in the memory 105, and transmitted to the management center 200 (step S412). The management center 200 cancels the anti-theft service (step S413) and writes the service cancellation data in the database A (step S414).

Next, the collection of the service charge of the vehicle theft prevention system will be described with reference to FIG. First, the management center 200 collects service points by referring to the database A when a certain period of time has passed (for example, every month) (step S500). A service charge bill is issued to the user based on the result of the service points (service implementation data) (step S501).

The user receives the bill and the management center 2
Pay the service charge to 00 (step S50)
2). Alternatively, the insurance company may collect the anti-theft service fee from the user in advance by including it in the insurance fee, and the management center 200
May collect the service charge from the insurance charge and refund the remaining insurance charge to the user.

The management center 200 transmits the service execution data for each contracted user to the insurance company (step S50).
3). The insurance company receives the service implementation data (step S504), and calculates the theft compensation payment suppression fee based on the service implementation data (step S505). That is, if the vehicle theft prevention service provided by the management center 200 reduces the theft of the vehicle that has the vehicle theft insurance, the amount of money for which the vehicle theft prevention service suppresses the payment of theft compensation is calculated.

The insurance company presents the calculated anti-theft compensation payment fee to the management center 200 (step S50).
6). The management center 200 receives the presentation of the theft compensation payment suppression fee (step S507). After that, under the agreement of both parties, the insurance company pays the control fee for the theft compensation payment. Further, when the payment of the theft compensation is suppressed by the vehicle theft prevention service, it is possible to provide the antitheft insurance discount service to the user who receives the vehicle theft prevention service.

As described above, according to the vehicle theft prevention system of the present embodiment, the security level can be appropriately set according to the parking conditions when the user parks the vehicle.

(Other Embodiments) It should be noted that when the user sets the security level setting value in the database and parks at the same place again, the past setting value can be used as the initial value. The user only has to press the confirmation button, which saves the trouble of setting a new security level.

In the above embodiment, the management center 20
Although the user finally sets the security level based on the recommended value of the security level presented by 0, the present invention is not limited to this, and the recommended value of the management center 200 is always used to automatically set the security level. Good.
This eliminates the need for the user to perform confirmation work,
There is no need to be aware of the security level.

In addition, when the user parks, the in-vehicle device 1
If you forget to set the vehicle theft prevention service itself at 00,
Alternatively, if the parking was planned for a short time but the parking is prolonged, the user can be configured to prompt the setting of the vehicle theft prevention service as follows.

First, at the time of parking, the in-vehicle device 100 automatically transmits data such as a parking place and time to the management center 200. Parking is determined by the door lock, etc. The management center 200 notifies the user that the vehicle anti-theft service has not been set after a predetermined time has passed since the vehicle was parked. If the user wants to start the anti-theft service,
The management center 200 can be requested to set the anti-theft service.

Further, the user may operate the remote control to start the anti-theft service in conjunction with the door lock. In that case, the data from the management center is transferred from the vehicle-mounted terminal to the remote control unit and displayed. The remote control unit may be a mobile phone with special software downloaded.
