JPS5940652B2 - How to start a car engine using a magnetic license card - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for starting an automobile engine using a magnetic card made from a driver's license.

Currently, in order to drive a car, one must carry one's own driver's license, but there is no physical relationship between the driver's license and the starting device of the car engine.

Therefore, even if the user does not carry a driver's license, it is possible to start the car engine and drive the car.

As a result, it is easy to drive without a license or to drive without a driver's license.

On the other hand, the starting device of a car engine is formed to have a structure unique to that car, but driving a car is legally limited to holders of a car driver's license issued by a public institution. It was built with an extremely simple structure based on the premise that such incidents would be rare.

This makes it easy for cars to be stolen. This invention is
To provide a method for starting an automobile engine that solves the above-mentioned problems by associating an automobile driver's license with an automobile engine starting device and allowing use only by a specific person who has a driver's license for the relevant vehicle type. The purpose is to
7-15022).

This invention will be explained in detail based on illustrated embodiments.

The present invention is constructed using a car driving license 1 made into a magnetic card and a verification device 2 which reads whether the car driving license is correct or not and connects the starting electric circuit of the car.

The automobile driver's license 1 uses a magnetic card of a currently used size or a standardized size, and codes and necessary information for each vehicle type are encoded and recorded.

As for the verification device 2, for example, a display section 23 is provided on the upper edge of the front panel 22 of the box-shaped shell 21 to display the input password, power "ON", etc.
Parallel to the bottom of this display section 23 is a push button switch 24 that displays numbers from "0" to "9" for inputting a password, etc., and is formed of a light button so that it can be easily identified even at night. It is equipped with an accessory power switch 25 that switches the power supply of radios, car stereos, etc. to 0N-OFFJ, a starter motor start switch 26, and a driver's license 1 in which a magnetic card is inserted into the lower edge. An insertion portion 27 is provided and formed.

On the other hand, inside the shell body 21 is a reading device that reads signals such as the type of vehicle magnetically recorded on the driver's license 1 using a magnetic head, and a reading device that reads signals such as the type of vehicle magnetically recorded on the driver's license 1, and inputs the read signals and the push button switch 24. It is formed by providing a verification processing device comprising a microcomputer that verifies whether the password is correct or not.

The verification processing device stores the vehicle type code, password, and other necessary information of the vehicle.

Next, the operating procedure and the functions of each part will be explained based on FIGS. 2 and 3.

First, the driver's license 1 is inserted into the license insertion section 27 of the verification device 2.

At the same time as this insertion is completed, the verification device 2 is powered on.

At this point, the verification processing device starts and verifies the signal recorded on the automobile driver's license converted into a magnetic card with the signal stored in the verification processing device.

Furthermore, the password entered by the pushbutton switch 24 is verified against the password stored in the verification processing device,
Verify various other required input signals.

As a result of this verification, only when the verification matches, a signal from the verification processing device operates the relay and connects the power to the starting motor and the ignition circuit.
Current flows through the coil 4 of the electromagnetic valve of the fuel pipe 3 installed just before the carburetor and the electromagnetic coil 7 of the hood opening/closing lever 6, which causes the valve 5 and pin 8 to be pulled upward, and the engine is supplied with fuel. is supplied, the vehicle is ready for operation, the bonnet is unlocked, and the bonnet 9 can be opened manually.

The car starts after the verification is confirmed and the power is connected.
This is done by manually turning on the starter motor switch 26.

When the car has finished driving, the front panel 22 of the verification device 2
Press the eject switch 28 provided in the hood and send out the driver's license 1. At the same time, the electrical system is released.Furthermore, the solenoid valve 5 of the fuel pipe 3 closes, the pin of the bonnet opening/closing lever 6 lowers, and the bonnet opens. 9 is locked.

Since this invention is constructed as claimed in the claims based on the above-described embodiments, the engine cannot be started without a driver's license.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent what is called driving without a driver's license.

In addition, only those who possess a license for the relevant vehicle type and know the PIN number stored in the verification device can use it, similar to the current system where starting a car and driving a license are integrated. This makes it extremely effective in preventing unlicensed driving and car theft.

Another advantage is that functions such as a digital clock and fuel consumption rate calculation can be easily incorporated into the verification device.

Further, since the fuel system is opened and closed and the bonnet is locked and unlocked in response to signals from the verification processing device, this is extremely effective in preventing car theft.

In other words, even if the electrical system is connected by a method other than inserting the driver's license, the engine will not start because the solenoid valve in the fuel pipe is closed.

Furthermore, since the hood opening/closing lever cannot be pulled and the hood is therefore locked, the theft of parts such as batteries can be prevented.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A driver's license, which has been converted into a magnetic card and has the code and PIN code for each vehicle type recorded thereon, is loaded into a verification device installed in the vehicle, and a reading device installed in the verification device reads the vehicle type recorded on the vehicle driver's license. A verification processing device provided in the verification device reads the code and PIN number of the vehicle and compares the read code and PIN number for each vehicle type with a pre-stored one to determine whether or not the two match; Only when the two match, a number valve button switch provided in the verification device is operated to input the PIN number into the verification processing device, and a check is made to determine whether the PIN number and the PIN stored in the verification processing device match. and only when the two match, the power is connected to the starting electric circuit and the ignition device electric circuit of the automobile engine, fuel is supplied to the engine, and the bonnet can be opened and closed.
