[Field of Invention]

The present invention relates to a stolen vehicle tracking device using a mobile phone capable of immediately detecting a stolen vehicle in real time. A patent application (No. 96-7285) has been made by the present inventor regarding a method of using mobile phone base station coordinates. This is a problem that needs to change the operating system of the exchange has been made possible the present invention that can be applied immediately and accurately know the coordinates of the stolen vehicle in real time.

In order to protect against vehicle theft accidents caused by the proliferation of automobiles, various types of anti-theft systems have been studied. Most of them are operated by a self-detection system, or recently, a pager, a satellite receiver, and a wireless data terminal Various methods of flashing emergency lights or tracking the location with radio detectors have been introduced.However, basically the main purpose is to prevent theft of automobiles. It was difficult to escape and arrest during operation, which resulted in physical damages to the owners due to car damage, and the radio wave detection method is limited in supplying expensive products because it requires nationwide network construction for tracking.

Therefore, the present invention is the idea that the automobile theft law is arrested immediately to prevent the ultimate car theft crimes, and if you make a call to the mobile cell phone of the present invention installed in the vehicle at the time of the automatic satellite receiver receiver If you read the coordinates from GPS and transmit them to the center in the form of voice and data, you can use the existing nationwide mobile phone network (including personal mobile communication) to know the location of the stolen vehicle immediately. I can arrest you.

[Background of invention]

Even in Korea, the number of automobiles is close to 10 million and theft of automobiles is frequent and causing a lot of damages. Especially, thefts are becoming more frequent as vehicles are used for crimes or are subject to crimes. Various anti-theft devices have been put to practical use to prevent theft of the vehicle, which are largely inexpensive and have recently developed their own anti-theft detection system in various forms. It has reached the stage of tracking a vehicle, but if it is applied only to luxury vehicles at a considerable cost in the United States, there is a problem that a tracking network must be established.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem of self-detection, if the device is released during the initial theft, there is no countermeasure and if the alarm responds frequently because it reacts privately without being theft, it may be ideal to track after theft like the latter. However, in the latter case, since a transmission / reception system and a separate tracking terminal have to be arranged in each region, there is a limitation in applying it at a high price and a huge tracking terminal facility cost is required to establish a national tracking network, which is practically impossible. The present invention has been made in that it can be built immediately by sending and receiving a national tracking network including the underground parking lot using a mobile telephone network without investing the facility cost.

In other words, the ultimate social goal is to get rid of car theft, which is important for prevention, but through a complete arrest system, the thefter can't get rid of it by making it impossible to know where the tracking / detection system is hidden. In the case of a vehicle, the invention of the stolen vehicle arrester using the mobile phone enables the instant detection of the current position within 10 meters by reading the coordinates from the satellite receiver and correcting it with DGPS when connected to the corresponding mobile phone in the tracking device. I lost.

[Purpose of invention]

An object of the present invention is to use a wide range of mobile telephone networks (outgoing call, cellular, personal mobile phones), if the vehicle is equipped with the vehicle tracking device is stolen, the satellite receiver connected to the mobile phone mounted in the tracking device GPS By receiving the current coordinate values received from the satellite in the tracking center in the form of voice and data, it is automatically displayed on the computer map or reported to each police station, and theft can be tracked nationwide using the mobile phone network without establishing a separate tracking network. To provide a vehicle tracking device.

This is because the culprit has the main focus on the arrest of the stolen criminal, so the culprit cannot know where the arrester is installed in the vehicle, and the coordinate values detected from the satellite receiver are recognized in the form of voice and data by connecting to the mobile phone in the arrester. It is a stolen vehicle tracking device that can detect stolen vehicles in the field by tracking them within tens of meters.

If such stolen vehicle tracking devices are becoming more common in car black boxes, car theft will not think of stealing the car until the device is hidden somewhere, and if it is made small, it will ultimately prevent car theft from society. It is an object of the present invention that it can be eliminated.

[Summary of invention]

The present invention connects a transceiver for a mobile phone, a central processing unit controlling the same, and a satellite coordinate receiver, and additionally connects a voice synthesis device with a voice input terminal to automatically receive a call instead of ringing when a mobile phone is received. When the command code is received, the satellite coordinate values are transmitted in the form of voice or a promise between the two systems, so that the tracking center can determine the location of the vehicle in real time and can be tracked even when the vehicle battery power is cut off. The built-in rechargeable battery is designed to minimize the current consumption by controlling the rate of power supply and cut-off time to extend the battery life.In many cases, the mobile phone does not receive perfect reception. Call the tracking center in There may also be configured to notify, will be described in detail below the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows.

Detailed description of the invention

The stolen vehicle tracking device using the mobile phone of the present invention connects with the mobile phone in the vehicle tracking device using the existing mobile phone network and asks for the current position, and immediately reads the coordinates read from the satellite receiver in the form of voice and data in the tracking center. Unlike the existing system, using a mobile phone network is possible because it is possible to connect with nationwide tracking without new investment for establishing a tracking network. The mobile phone network includes outgoing call, cellular, and personal mobile communication. Unlike the vehicle command system, a rechargeable battery must be built in to allow tracking even when the vehicle is turned off.

In case of using the mobile phone, the phone can be registered and used immediately when the vehicle is stolen, and it can be traced and operated to terminate the phone after the arrest. Each vehicle tracking device may have a different ESN and a phone number, and a method of registering and tracking a switch with a mobile phone ESN in the vehicle tracking device by operating the same phone number in a different ESN.

If power is supplied to the tracking device after theft of the vehicle, the rechargeable battery can be charged at all times without the need for additional power saving.However, when the vehicle battery is cut off, the rechargeable battery operates for a long time (at least 15 days). To achieve this, an ultra-low power design will be achieved, but by allowing the system to be powered on and off periodically, the battery life can be extended by an on / off ratio compared to the on-power ratio.

In the case of a mobile phone, the system is configured to provide perfect incoming and outgoing, but due to the limitation of radio environment and exchange, it is difficult to receive 100% of incoming calls. By finding the tracking device and making a call, the vehicle center can be called in reverse to transmit the coordinates of the satellite receiver when the call is connected, thereby improving the vehicle tracking rate compared to using a mobile phone only. This is possible.

In addition, due to the limitations of the satellite receiver, it is difficult to receive coordinate values in tunnels, urban high-rise buildings, underground parking lots, etc. In this case, the navigation center and software are used to correct the position and transmit it, or the vehicle center can register the home location register ( HLR) or visitor location registration register (VLR) can be referred to so that the location of the tracking vehicle can be found within the service provision area of the mobile telephone.

As described above, if a stolen vehicle tracking device is configured using a mobile phone network, a separate base station and network configuration are not required for constructing a separate tracking network, which is advantageous in terms of cost, and coordinate values are transmitted by voice (Tokyo, North Latitude). The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in which data can be transmitted in a short message communication method such as a modem, a tone method, and a digital phone.

A schematic configuration diagram of a stolen vehicle tracking apparatus using a mobile phone according to the present invention is shown in FIG. A mobile telephone transceiver (2) with an antenna (1) for forming a call path with a tracking center and a telephone, a central processing unit (3) for controlling it, and a satellite coordinate receiver for reading the current real-time coordinate values of the tracking device. (4) is installed, and when the call is connected, the satellite coordinate receiver (4) is read and synthesized by voice by the voice synthesizer (7) or transmitted by the data processing device (8) in a data format recognizable by the tracking center. To cut off the supply of the + power source 9 under the control of the charging and discharging control circuit 12, the charging and discharging control circuit 12, and the central processing unit 3 so that the vehicle power source 14 operates even when the power supply 14 is cut off. The power supply 11 is configured to perform a power saving function.

Instead of transmitting the value of the satellite coordinate receiver 4 by the reception of the mobile telephone transmitter / receiver 2, the central processing unit 3 calls the radio pager 6 instead of receiving the mobile telephone to increase the reception rate. When the call is made, the central processing unit 3 controls the mobile telephone transmitting and receiving device 2 to transmit to a predetermined telephone number (tracking center), and when the call is connected, the voice value is read by the coordinates of the satellite coordinate receiver 4. The device 7 can be configured to synthesize voice or to transmit the data processing device 8 to a data format that can be recognized by the tracking center. In this case, the mobile phone transmission and reception device 2 can use an outgoing mobile phone. .

When the vehicle power source 14 is supplied to the tracking device after the vehicle is stolen, the rechargeable battery 13 is charged with the charge / discharge control circuit 12 while always operating without saving power, and the vehicle battery power source 14 is supplied. In this cut-off state, the power supply device 11 is configured such that power is periodically supplied to the system under the control 10 of the central processing unit 3 so that the battery 13 can operate for a long time. It is configured to extend the life of the rechargeable battery 13 by a ratio, and when power is supplied, a process of automatically registering the mobile telephone exchange is performed.

2 is a program flow diagram for explaining the stolen vehicle tracking device using a mobile phone of the present invention in the standby state after initialization, when the car battery power is not connected, the system is periodically turned on and off by operating in a power saving mode. In this case, when a mobile phone is called or a radio caller is called, it is pointed out as a stolen vehicle. When a call is received or a call is made to a designated place, a call is connected and a function code requesting data transmission is received. It converts voice and data in the form promised by voice synthesis device and data processing device and configures transmission information to transmit unique number and coordinate value to tracking center, which is repeatedly transmitted until end code is input or call is terminated. .

As described above, the stolen vehicle tracking device using the mobile phone connects with the mobile phone in the vehicle tracking device using the existing mobile phone network and asks for the current location, and the coordinate value read from the satellite receiver is immediately displayed in the tracking center in the form of voice and data. As a result, unlike existing systems using other wireless means, using a mobile phone network has the advantage of being able to track and connect nationwide without new investment in establishing a tracking network. If you have a nationwide network, you can use two-way pager, common frequency communication, wireless data terminal, or satellite communication device as a transceiver.

If this stolen vehicle tracking device becomes universal like a car black box, the car thefter will not think of stealing the car until the device is hidden somewhere, and if it is made small, it will ultimately be stolen from society. I think it will contribute to the elimination of.

Although the present invention has been described in detail only with respect to the described embodiments, modifications and variations that are within the spirit and scope of the invention are apparent to those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains and such variations or modifications are limited by the appended claims.
