JP-A-7-170346

  However, in the past, the driver had manually started supplying power to the vehicle accident theft reporting device, but in order to prevent the thief from realizing that the vehicle accident theft reporting device is installed If the accident theft reporting device is installed in an inconspicuous place in the vehicle, it is easy to forget to turn on the power, and in the event of an accident or theft, a situation that does not work is likely to occur. On the other hand, it is easy to forget to turn off the power of the vehicle accident theft reporting device at the end of driving.

  In addition, if the vehicle accident theft reporting device mistakenly recognizes a sudden brake, etc. as an accident, and if the vehicle accident theft reporting device is installed in a place that is difficult for the driver to reach, May not be released, and the police and fire department may be dispatched.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a vehicle accident theft reporting device that automatically supplies power and that can be easily released in the event of a false alarm even if the vehicle accident theft reporting device is installed in a conspicuous location. This is what I wanted.

  In other words, the vehicle accident theft reporting device according to the present invention includes an acceleration detection means for detecting an acceleration applied to the vehicle, and the acceleration detected by the acceleration detection means exceeds a preset power-on acceleration setting value. The power supply control means for automatically starting power supply from the power supply to each device, and when the power supply from the power supply to each device is automatically started by the power supply control means, the vehicle, the owner of the vehicle Or an identification signal generating unit that outputs an identification signal that is a signal that can identify at least one of the vehicle accident theft reporting devices mounted on the vehicle, and the acceleration detected by the acceleration detecting means is set in advance. An accident notification signal generating means for outputting an accident notification signal, a vehicle position detecting means for detecting a position of the vehicle and outputting a positional information signal when the accident acceleration set value is exceeded, When the identification signal, the accident notification signal, and the location information signal are transmitted to a monitoring center, and the accident notification signal is a false report, the accident report signal was a false report by a predetermined operation. Release means for notifying the monitoring center of the fact, and at least the release means is separated from the main body.

  Here, the power-on acceleration setting value is a value that can detect, for example, acceleration of vibration caused by opening / closing of a vehicle door. The power-on acceleration setting value includes not only the lateral acceleration of the vehicle due to opening and closing of the door, but also the vertical direction of the vehicle due to the vehicle sinking due to the weight of the driver when the driver gets into the vehicle. Acceleration, acceleration of fine movement of the vehicle when the engine is on, etc., acceleration caused by the operation until the driver gets into the car and starts driving, or the vehicle vibrates or moves due to jacking up or towing by tow truck etc. A set value that can detect acceleration caused by various factors such as generated acceleration is conceivable. By setting the power-on acceleration setting value in this way, not only when the vehicle is a stolen vehicle, but also when a thief gets into the stolen vehicle, the stolen vehicle is moved using an appliance or a moving vehicle. Even in this case, the stolen vehicle can be detected without omission. The accident acceleration setting value is a setting value that can detect the acceleration of impact received by the vehicle in the event of a collision. Further, the main body of the vehicle accident theft reporting device is a device provided with at least vehicle position detection means and transmission means.

  Since the vehicle accident / theft reporting device having such a configuration is activated when the detected acceleration exceeds the acceleration of the vibration level generated by opening / closing of the door, the vehicle accident / theft reporting device is activated when the door is opened / closed. It is also automatically controlled by the driver's operation on the vehicle until the start of driving such as getting into the vehicle, jack-up or towing of the vehicle by a theft crime. For this reason, forgetting to turn on the power to the vehicle accident theft reporting device can be solved. Simultaneously with the start of the vehicle accident theft reporting device, an identification signal that can identify at least one of the vehicle, the vehicle owner, or the vehicle accident theft reporting device mounted on the vehicle is transmitted to the monitoring center. Whether the vehicle is a stolen vehicle or not, so if the vehicle is a stolen vehicle, not only if the thief gets into the stolen vehicle, but also if the stolen vehicle is moved using equipment or a moving vehicle Even so, tracking starts immediately without omission.

  Furthermore, in the vehicle accident theft reporting device according to the present invention, the main body of the vehicle accident theft reporting device and the release means are separated, so that the main body is not easily noticed by the thief in the vehicle, for example, in the dashboard, etc. For example, the release switch can be installed at a location that is easily accessible by the driver and can be released by voice detection. If it is a means, a voice detection means can also be installed in the place where a driver's voice is easy to detect. For this reason, it is possible to ensure the operability of the release means necessary when the accident is a false alarm while preventing the thief from noticing the existence of the vehicle accident theft reporting device. In addition, when the release means is activated, it may be configured to output a release signal that notifies the monitoring center that the accident report signal was a false report, or the output or transmission of the accident report signal is stopped. It may be configured to do so.

  In the vehicle accident theft reporting apparatus according to the present invention, the release means and the main body are connected wirelessly or by wire.

  The power supply control means preferably has a standby function for reducing power consumption. The “standby function” here refers to a function that enters a standby state (sleep state) when the vehicle is stopped, that is, when it is not necessary to start the device. At times, power consumption can be kept to a minimum, and if the acceleration of the vibration level generated when the door is opened and closed is applied, it can be started quickly.

  The vehicle accident theft reporting apparatus according to the present invention preferably includes a receiving means in order to receive a command from the monitoring center. Note that the transmission unit may also function as a transmission / reception unit as a reception unit.

  The power control means is configured to automatically stop power supply from the power source to each device when no acceleration exceeding the power-on acceleration setting value is detected for a predetermined time. Also good. If this is the case, not only the start-up but also the stop of this device can be controlled automatically based on the detected acceleration value, so you can eliminate forgetting to turn off power and minimize power consumption. If the vehicle is stolen, it can be tracked for a long time.

  Thus, according to the present invention, since the start of the vehicle accident theft reporting apparatus is automatically controlled by the detected acceleration value, it is possible to eliminate forgetting to turn on the power to the vehicle accident theft reporting apparatus. In addition, if it is stolen, automatic tracking can be started immediately. Further, it can be installed so that the thief is not aware of the presence of the vehicle accident theft reporting device while ensuring the operability of the release means required when the accident report is a false report.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle accident theft reporting apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment includes an acceleration sensor (acceleration detection means) 21, a GPS receiver (vehicle position detection means) 22 that detects the position of the vehicle, and an acceleration. An acceleration determination unit 201 that determines the acceleration detected by the sensor 21, and a power source that starts supplying power from the power source 24 to other devices when the acceleration determination unit 201 determines that the acceleration exceeds the set value (A). A control unit (power source control unit) 202, an accident notification signal generation unit (accident notification signal generation unit) 203 that generates an accident notification signal when the acceleration determination unit 201 determines that the acceleration exceeds the set value (B), When power supply from the power source 24 to each device is started, an identification signal is generated for outputting an identification signal for identifying the vehicle, the owner of the vehicle, the vehicle accident theft reporting device mounted on the vehicle, and the like. Unit 205, a signal transmission unit 204 (transmission / reception means) that converts a signal from each device and a command received from the monitoring center 6 received by the transmitter / receiver 23 as necessary, and transmits the converted signal to the transmitter / receiver 23 and the speaker 5, and signal transmission A main body 2 having a transceiver 23 (transmission / reception means) for transmitting a signal transmitted from the unit 204 to the monitoring center 6 and receiving a command from the monitoring center 6, and a power supply 24 for supplying power to each device; In addition, when an accident is reported by mistake, a release switch 3 (release means) that emits a release signal by operating it manually, and an accident report switch 4 as an accident report means that issues an accident report signal by operating manually. And. Needless to say, the accident reporting means may be not only a manual switch but also a voice detection or the like. Here, the acceleration with the set value (A) as a threshold is an acceleration such as vibration caused by opening and closing of the door of the vehicle, and the acceleration with the set value (B) as a threshold is an impact received by the vehicle at the time of a collision accident. It is acceleration.

  In the accident / theft notification device 1 of the present embodiment, the release switch 3 and the accident notification switch 4 are separated from the main body 2 of the accident / theft notification device 1, and between the release switch 3 and the accident notification switch 4 and the main body 2. Are connected wirelessly. Therefore, the main body 2 can be mounted in an inconspicuous place in the vehicle, and only the release switch 3 and the accident notification switch 4 can be installed where the driver can easily reach.

  Each part will be described in detail. The acceleration sensor 21 consumes less power and is always activated after the main body 2 is mounted on the vehicle. The GPS receiver 22 detects the position of the vehicle based on a signal sent from an artificial satellite, and outputs the detected vehicle position as a position information signal. The GPS receiver 22 is always supplied with a small amount of backup power from the power source 24. As the transceiver 23, for example, a digital mobile phone, a PHS, or the like is used. The power source 24 uses a solar battery.

  The acceleration determination unit 201 determines the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor 21 and transmits the determination result to the power supply control unit 202 and the accident notification signal generation unit 203. When the acceleration determination unit 201 determines that the acceleration exceeds the set value (A), the power control unit 202 starts supplying power from the power source 24 to the GPS receiver 22 and the transceiver 23. When the power supply from the power supply 24 is started, a signal indicating that the power supply is started is output from the power supply control unit 202. Upon receiving this signal, for example, the vehicle number or the registration number to the monitoring center is output. The identification signal generation unit 205 storing information for identifying a vehicle such as the vehicle outputs an identification signal for identifying the vehicle or the like, and transmits the identification signal to the monitoring center via the signal transmission unit 204 and the transceiver 23. The GPS receiver 22 also outputs a position information signal simultaneously with the start of power supply, and transmits it to the monitoring center via the signal transmission unit 204 and the transceiver 23. On the other hand, the power supply control unit 202 stops the power supply from the power supply 24 to the GPS receiver 22 and the transceiver 23 if no acceleration exceeding the set value (A) is detected for a predetermined time. When it is determined that the acceleration detected by the acceleration determination unit 201 exceeds the set value (B), the accident notification signal generation unit 203 generates an accident notification signal and the monitoring center 6 via the signal transmission unit 204 and the transceiver 23. Send to. The signal transmission unit 204 converts a signal generated in each device and a signal transmitted from the monitoring center 6 toward the accident report / theft monitoring device 1 and transmits the converted signal to the transceiver 23 and the speaker 5.

  These acceleration determination unit 201, power supply control unit 202, accident notification signal generation unit 203, signal transmission unit 204, and identification signal generation unit 205 are configured using the microcomputer 20. The microcomputer 20 has a CPU, an internal memory, an AD converter, and the like. Then, by operating the CPU and its peripheral devices according to a program set in a predetermined area of the internal memory, the acceleration determination unit 201, the power supply control unit 202, the accident notification signal generation unit 203, the signal transmission unit 204, and the identification signal generation unit 205 Is configured to function as The microcomputer 20 has a sleep function and is in a standby state when the vehicle is stopped, but is activated by detecting acceleration due to opening / closing of a door or the like. The microcomputer 20 may be a general-purpose one or a dedicated one.

  The release switch 3 and the accident notification switch 4 are both manually operated switches. When acceleration exceeding the set value (B) is detected by sudden braking or the like and the accident notification is made erroneously, the driver or the like is a release switch. When the release signal is generated by pressing 3, and the accident notification signal is not generated due to the reason that the acceleration did not reach the set value (B) although the accident occurred, the driver etc. Press to generate an accident notification signal. These release signal and accident notification signal are transmitted to the monitoring center 6 via the signal transmission unit 204 and the transceiver 23.

  In the present embodiment, the speaker 5 used in the vehicle is used.

  The operation of the vehicle accident theft reporting apparatus 1 configured as described above will be described below.

  At the start of traveling, as shown in FIG. 2, when the acceleration sensor 21 detects acceleration exceeding the set value (A) due to vibration generated when the driver opens and closes the door of the vehicle (step S1), the standby state The microcomputer 20 is started (step S2), and the power supply control unit 202 starts supplying power from the power supply 24 to the GPS receiver 22 and the transceiver 23 (step S3).

  The identification signal output from the identification signal generator 205 is transmitted from the activated transmitter / receiver 23 to the monitoring center 6 (step S4), and then the position information detected by the GPS receiver 22 is transmitted / received as a position information signal. Is transmitted from the machine 23 to the monitoring center 6 (step S5).

  When an accident occurs, as shown in FIG. 3, if the acceleration sensor 21 detects an acceleration exceeding the set value (B) due to the impact of the accident (step S6), the accident notification signal generator 203 outputs an accident notification signal. An accident notification signal for notifying the occurrence of an accident is transmitted from the transceiver 23 to the monitoring center 6. The monitoring center 6 that has received the accident notification signal transmits a notification confirming whether or not this notification is a false report. On the other hand, an acceleration exceeding the set value (B) due to a mere sudden braking or the like occurs. If it occurs, the driver presses the release switch 3 (step S8), transmits a release signal to the monitoring center 6 (step S9), and informs that it is a false alarm.

  When the vehicle is stopped, as shown in FIG. 4, if the acceleration sensor 21 does not detect an acceleration exceeding the set value (A) for a predetermined time, for example, 30 minutes or more, the power supply control unit 202 receives a GPS receiver from the power supply 24. 22 and the power supply to the transmitter / receiver 23 are stopped (step S11), and an operation end signal notifying the end of the operation is transmitted from the transmitter / receiver 23 toward the monitoring center 6 (step S12). And the microcomputer 20 will be in a standby state (step S13), and the operation | movement of the vehicle accident theft reporting apparatus 1 will be complete | finished.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, the monitoring center 6 includes a transmitter / receiver 11 that transmits / receives a signal to / from the vehicle accident / theft reporting device 1 mounted on the vehicle, and a vehicle accident / theft reporting device 1. A theft determination unit 12 that determines whether or not a vehicle to be monitored has been notified of a theft in response to the identification signal, and whether or not it is a false alarm in response to an accident notification signal from the vehicle accident theft notification device 1. A monitoring device 10 is provided that includes an accident determination unit 13 for determination, and a result display unit 14 that transmits a determination result output from the theft determination unit 12 and the accident determination unit 13 to an operator.

  Each part will be described in detail. As the transceiver 11, for example, a digital mobile phone, a PHS, or the like is used.

  The theft determination unit 12 receives the identification signal from the vehicle accident theft reporting device 1 mounted on the vehicle, and stores the theft notification data submitted by the contractor (the owner of the vehicle). The storage unit D1 is accessed to determine whether or not the vehicle to be monitored has been reported for theft, and the determination result is transmitted as a signal to the result display unit 14.

  Upon receiving the accident notification signal from the vehicle accident theft reporting device 1, the accident determination unit 13 transmits a signal for confirming the accident notification to the vehicle accident theft reporting device 1 and waits for the cancellation signal from the release switch 3 To determine whether it is an accident or a false alarm.

  The result display unit 14 transmits the determination results from the theft determination unit 12 and the accident determination unit 13 to the operator by image or voice.

  The theft determination unit 12, the accident determination unit 13, the result display unit 14, and the theft report data storage unit D <b> 1 are configured using the information processing apparatus 100. As shown in FIG. 6, the information processing apparatus 100 includes a CPU 101, an internal memory 102, an external storage device 103 such as an HDD, a communication interface 104 such as a modem, a display 105, an input means 106 such as a mouse and a keyboard, and the like. Then, by operating the CPU 101 and its peripheral devices according to a program set in a predetermined area such as the internal memory 102 or the external storage device 103, the theft determination unit 12, the accident determination unit 13, the result display unit 14, and the theft report data storage It is configured to function as the part D1. The information processing apparatus 100 may be a general-purpose computer or a dedicated computer.

Next, the operation of the monitoring apparatus 10 configured as described above will be described below.
At the start of monitoring, when the identification signal transmitted from the vehicle accident theft reporting device 1 is received, as shown in FIG. It is determined whether it has been done (step ST1). When it is determined that a theft report has been issued for the monitored vehicle, the result display unit 14 informs the operator by voice or video, confirms the contractor (the owner of the vehicle), and notifies the relevant organization such as the police. An instruction is issued (step ST2). And the position information signal from the GPS receiver 22 is received, and the position of the stolen vehicle is continuously monitored. On the other hand, if it is determined that the theft notification has not been issued to the monitored vehicle, the monitoring device 10 reports “Good morning” as a monitoring start report to inform the driver that the monitoring center 6 has started monitoring. Send an instruction signal to the vehicle accident theft reporting device 1 (step ST3).

  When an accident occurs, as shown in FIG. 8, when an accident notification signal transmitted by the vehicle accident theft reporting device 1 is received, the accident determination unit 13 confirms the occurrence of the accident to the vehicle accident theft reporting device 1. This signal is sent to the driver to notify the driver that the accident report has been received and to instruct the driver to press the release switch 3 if the accident report is a false report (step ST4). When the release switch 3 is pressed, a release signal transmitted from the vehicle accident theft reporting device 1 is waited for 60 seconds, for example, and it is determined whether it is an accident or a false report (step ST5). If the release signal is received within 60 seconds, the accident determination unit 13 determines that it is a false report, transmits a report that the accident report has been released to the vehicle accident theft notification device 1, and ends the operation. (Step ST6). If the release signal is not received after 60 seconds, the accident determination unit 13 determines that the accident has occurred, and the result display unit 14 instructs the operator to notify the related organizations such as the police and fire department by voice or video. (Step ST7). Then, a report indicating that the accident has been reported to the related organization is transmitted to the vehicle accident / theft reporting device 1 (step ST8), and the monitoring center continues from the GPS receiver 22 of the vehicle accident / theft reporting device 1 to the vehicle. The position information signal is continuously received and the position of the vehicle is confirmed.

  According to this embodiment, since the on / off state of the vehicle accident theft reporting device 1 is automatically controlled with the acceleration of the set value (A) as a boundary, the power to the vehicle accident theft reporting device 1 can be reduced. It eliminates forgetting to insert or forgetting to cut and minimizes power consumption. In addition, since the on / off of the vehicle accident theft reporting device is automatically controlled by acceleration, tracking is automatically started when a thief gets into the vehicle or tries to move the vehicle when the vehicle is stolen. In addition, tracking over a long period of time is possible by minimizing power consumption.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the main body 2 and the release switch 3 of the vehicle accident theft reporting device 1 are separated, so that the main body 2 is installed in a place where it is difficult for the thief to be noticed, while the accident notification is made in error. The release switch 3 necessary to release the notification can be installed at a place where the driver can easily reach. For this reason, the operability of the operation for canceling the accident notification that needs to be performed manually is ensured while the thief is not aware of the existence of the vehicle accident theft notification device 1. Moreover, in this embodiment, since the solar cell is utilized as the power supply 24, wiring is unnecessary and there are few restrictions in the installation place of the vehicle accident theft reporting apparatus 1. FIG.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, whether or not the vehicle accident theft reporting device 1 issues an accident notification signal is not simply determined by determining the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor 21, but by the vehicle speed detected by the speed sensor or the GPS receiver 22. It may be determined whether or not there is an accident by comprehensively determining the detected position information. Specifically, if the vehicle is caught and the tire is lifted when the vehicle collides, the tire rotates idly, so the speed sensor detects a certain value, but the position information detected by the GPS receiver 22 changes. Does not occur. In such a case, an accident notification signal is transmitted by comprehensively judging the speed and position. Further, when the GPS receiver 22 cannot detect the position in a tunnel or the like, the position of the accident can be predicted using a speed sensor. In such a case, misinformation can be reduced as compared with determining whether or not an accident is based only on acceleration.

  Further, it may be determined whether or not there is an accident based on whether or not an integrated value (integrated value) of acceleration for a certain time exceeds a set value. If this is the case, a positive acceleration will occur once when the door is opened or closed, or when the road is stepped, but a negative acceleration will occur immediately after the vehicle returns to its original state. The integrated value of acceleration becomes zero. On the other hand, in the case of an accident, a positive acceleration is generated at the time of a collision, and acceleration energy is absorbed when the vehicle is crushed. Therefore, the integrated value of acceleration remains positive. Therefore, by evaluating the integrated value of acceleration for a certain period of time, it is possible to make a highly accurate accident determination and reduce false alarms.

  Further, when the accident determination unit 13 of the monitoring device 10 determines that the accident report is correct, the monitoring device 10 informs the driver and passengers of the voice or the expected arrival time of the emergency vehicle to encourage or maintain the consciousness. You may transmit the instruction | indication signal which continues audio | voice, music, etc. toward the vehicle accident theft reporting apparatus 1. FIG.

  The connection between the main body 2 and the release switch 3 and the accident notification switch 4 does not have to be wireless, and may be connected by wire using a cable that is difficult to notice. Further, the release switch 3 and the accident report switch 4 are not manually operated, but may have a voice detection function and be operated by voice.

  Furthermore, the release signal output from the release switch 3 is not transmitted to the monitoring center. When the release switch 3 outputs the release signal, the accident notification signal that has been continuously output / transmitted stops, and the monitoring center You may comprise so that it may determine with the accident reported by having stopped the accident report signal having been misinformation.

  The time from the stop of the vehicle to the stop of the vehicle accident theft reporting device 1 (power supply stop to each device) can be set as appropriate, and may be shorter or longer than 30 minutes in the embodiment.

  As the power source 24, a battery provided in a car may be used, a battery and a solar cell may be used together, a solar cell may be used during the day, and a battery may be used at night. As the speaker 5, the vehicle accident / theft reporting device 1 itself may be provided with a speaker without using a vehicle that is provided in advance in the vehicle.

  Instead of the acceleration determination unit 201, the power supply control unit 202 and the accident notification signal generation unit 203 may have an acceleration determination function, or the acceleration sensor 21 may have an acceleration determination function.

  A plurality of transmitters / receivers 23 are provided, and each signal may be transmitted to the monitoring center via a different transmitter / receiver 23, or each signal generation source may have a transmission function.

  In addition, the transmitter / receiver 23 may include a signal transmission unit 204.

  In the present invention, at least the release switch 3 only needs to be separated from the main body 2, but other devices may be separated from the main body 2 as necessary.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a vehicle accident theft reporting device that automatically supplies power and that can be easily released even if the vehicle accident theft reporting device is installed in a conspicuous location. It is.
