Description

DESCRIPTION Of the patent application having title “Modular system for monitoring a velocipede” In the name of: FB Innovation srls ok kk ek Field of the invention The present invention relates to a modular monitoring system for a velocipede such as a bicycle or a scooter.
State of the art In recent times, the use of low environmental impact vehicles has been increasingly encouraged.
The most common means are bicycles, including those with assisted pedalling and electric scooters, etc … All these vehicles have in common the fact that they are very light weight with a maximum weight established by law of 50 kg and a maximum length of less than 3 meters.
These vehicles are rarely equipped with on-board electronic devices.
Sometimes the velocipede is equipped with an odometer to measure the velocipede speed starting from the rotation speed of a wheel of the velocipede itself.
There are basically two types of odometers on the market.
A first older variant involves the installation of a sensor on a fork and a magnet on a spoke of the velocipede wheel and the number of wheel revolutions is achieved by counting the pulses generated by the reciprocal movement between magnet and sensor.
Modern odometers include a transmitter with a gyroscope to be mounted directly on the wheel hub.
A processing unit generally equipped with a display is designed to interface with the sensor by means of an electric cable or with the transmitter wirelessly and calculate the velocipede speed on the basis of the number of revolutions and on the basis of the circumference of the wheel.
US2010198453 shows a system and method of interfacing an electronic device with a bicycle system.
The electronic device can receive the output of sensors coupled to the bicycle and generate driving characteristics to be shown to the user.
The electronic device may also receive communications from other electronic devices and provide communications to the user.
Methods are also known for detecting the leafing from a smartphone of an object or human being, an infant, when a device with a wireless interface, physically associated with the object or human being, disconnects from the homologous smartphone interface.
Many systems have been developed to monitor the quality of physical activity while driving a bicycle, but these functions are often not necessary when the bicycle serves as a means of transport rather than a sports device.
-2- These transport means are very practical and therefore have different needs from mopeds and motorcycles.
For example, a velocipede can be left next to the door of a commercial establishment for a quick commission, and can be picked up immediately afterwards to reach another destination.
In the meantime, however, the velocipede can be stolen and at the time of any disconnection the velocipede may be far enough away not to allow the recovery of the same.
In addition, the mileage of the velocipede can be altered by tampering with the odometer to hide its real state of use. This aspect is particularly relevant when the velocipede is equipped with a battery which, as known, has a limited number of recharging cycles. Therefore, a high mileage indicates a relevant state of wear of the batteries.
Summary of the invention The purpose of the present invention is to present a modular system for monitoring a velocipede that allows to improve the practicality of its daily use.
The system object of the present invention comprises a modular processing unit to be associated with the velocipede and a smartphone equipped with a specific App.
The processing unit comprises means for measuring the rotation speed of a velocipede wheel and communication means for communicating this information to the App via a short range wireless interface, such as Bluetooth ANT, ZigBee, RF4CE, NFC, Nike+ and Wi-Fi and similar.
The short-range interfaces are of the type without infrastructure in contrast to the GSM and similar interfaces, which require an infrastructure to allow the establishment of connections between devices. Furthermore, short range interfaces generally do not exceed 200 meters of radio coverage.
According to the present invention, the smartphone is equipped with its own localization means, based on the telephone and/or satellite network, and once the smartphone is associated with the processing unit, the App compares the distance calculated and transmitted by the control processing unit with the distance calculated by the smartphone localization means and when these do not coincide, the App signals this inconsistency acoustically and/or by vibration.
This fact is particularly advantageous when the velocipede is left unattended for the time of a commission. The signalling is therefore based on a discrepancy between the measured distances rather than on the disconnection between the processing unit on board the velocipede and the smartphone.
However, when no discrepancy is recorded, the distance travelled is preferably stored in appropriate storage media according to the variants described below and associated with a unique identifier of the processing unit. Preferably, the distance travelled in each session of use of the velocipede is transmitted to a remote server configured to compute a total distance travelled by the velocipede. Preferably,
23. the server also keeps track of the travel periods of the same distances, at least on a monthly or weekly basis for further evaluation. According to a first variant of the invention, the transmission of the aforementioned information to the server is carried out through the smartphone.
According to a second preferred variant of the invention, the processing unit is further equipped with GSM or similar communication means and is therefore autonomously capable of communicating directly with the remote server to store the aforementioned information, relating to each session of use of the velocipede.
Preferably, the total distance travelled by the velocipede is calculated and stored also in the processing unit associated with the velocipede. According to a preferred variant of the invention which is combined with any of the previous variants, the processing unit associated with the velocipede is further equipped with its own localization means, whether based on the telephone and/or satellite network and therefore, the comparison of the distances travelled is also performed on board the velocipede and transmitted by the same processing unit to the remote server. In any case, the comparison is always carried out between the distance travelled by the velocipede and that travelled by the smartphone. For example, rather than the information generated by the odometer, it is possible to use the calculation of the distance travelled by the velocipede through the relative localization system. For example, an average distance between the distance calculated by the odometer and the one calculated by the tracking system associated with the vehicle can be acquired as the distance travelled by the velocipede. This fact is particularly advantageous, since, sometimes a malicious person picks up the velocipede by lifting it and loading it in the luggage compartment of a vehicle. Therefore, thanks to the present invention it is possible to easily recognize and report the theft of a velocipede or alternatively monitor its distance to certify the distance actually travelled by the velocipede. The certification of the distance travelled by the velocipede is very useful in order to know the actual state of wear of the velocipede itself. According to a further preferred aspect of the invention, when it appears that the velocipede moves inconsistently with respect to the smartphone, if the processing unit is equipped with autonomous GSM or similar communication means and localization means, then the processing unit on board the velocipede is configured to send its position to both the remote server and the App installed on the smartphone. In summary, if the velocipede moves inconsistently with respect to the smartphone, the processing unit on board the velocipede sends a signal, at least via the short-range interface to the App running on the smartphone. If, on the other hand, the distances are congruent, the distances of each session are sent to a remote server directly from the same processing unit
-4- or via the smartphone in order to certify the partial and total mileage of the velocipede as an indicator of the wear of the velocipede itself.
When the processing unit is equipped with its own means of GSM communication and its own means of localization, the incongruity between the aforementioned distances travelled activates an operating mode in which the processing unit on board the vehicle sends the position of the same unit both to the remote server and to the smartphone in order to track the movements of the velocipede during a probable theft of the same.
According to a possible configuration of the processing unit on board the velocipede, a distance travelled is considered incongruent even when the velocipede moves while the processing unit on board the vehicle is disconnected from the smartphone via the aforementioned short-range interface.
Advantageously, as long as the velocipede remains in the same position, no indication of possible theft is activated and therefore no action is required by the user.
According to a preferred variant of the invention, the App can be configured to enable/disable the tracking of the path performed when associated with the processing unit on board the velocipede.
In this way it is also possible to perform further assessments about the average, maximum, minimum speed, difference in height, useful for example to evaluate the performance of the user, or the performance of the same velocipede when equipped with an electric motor.
According to a preferred variant of the invention, after having performed a first coupling between smartphone and processing unit on board the velocipede, any further reconnection is automatic and triggered by the activation of the distance measuring means.
Advantageously, if the velocipede is stored for long periods, a procedure for deactivating the processing unit can be provided, for example by means of a key, vice versa, when the distance measuring means are deactivated for a long period, then the processing turns off.
If the processing unit is equipped with infrastructured communication means and localization means, then it is preferably configured to activate cyclically to verify that its position coincides with the previous stored position and in case of non-coincidence, the processing unit is configured to send an alert to the remote server with the current position.
Preferably, a procedure for activating a maintenance mode is provided, in which any indication of possible theft is inhibited.
This mode can only be activated using the smartphone previously associated with the velocipede.
According to a preferred variant of the invention, which combines with any one of the previous variants, the processing unit deactivates almost all of the interfaces and functionalities after a predetermined time interval, in which it does not detect a movement, i.e. it does not detect a rotation of the wheel or a change in its position.
In these conditions, the processing unit is in standby, so it can keep only the interface relating to the odometer active or alternatively it can be equipped with its own motion sensor, for example a gyroscope.
So that when, on the
-5- contrary, the processing unit detects a movement of the velocipede, then it reactivates all the features and/or interfaces.
Brief description of the figures Further objects and advantages of the present invention will become clear from the following detailed description of an example of its embodiment (and its variants) and from the attached drawings given purely by way of non-limiting explanation, in which: Figure 1 shows a hardware infrastructure for an example of implementation of the present invention; Figures 2 - 3 show variants of a portion of the infrastructure to be associated with the velocipede; Figure 4 shows a flowchart representative of implementation examples of the present invention. In particular, the dashed blocks are characteristic of further options and related to other implementation examples.
The same reference numbers and letters in the figures identify the same elements or components or functions.
In the context of this description, the term "second" component does not imply the presence of a "first" component. These terms are in fact used as labels to improve clarity and should not be understood in a limiting way.
The elements and features illustrated in the various preferred embodiments, including the drawings, can be combined with each other without however departing from the scope of this application as described below.
Detailed description Figure 1 shows an example of hardware architecture for carrying out the present invention. This example includes a processing unit E to be associated with a velocipede, a portable device PD such as a smartphone or tablet PC, an infrastructured communications network NET and a localization system, which in the example is schematized with a satellite SAT.
The processing unit includes a microprocessor, a non-volatile memory and a processing memory that can be volatile, as well as a power source that can be a lithium battery.
The processing unit, with reference to Figure 2, includes a Bluetooth BT interface with its antenna ANT1. This interface allows the processing unit to interface with the portable device PD. This generally comes with . a Bluetooth interface, . an IEEE 802.11 interface, . a GSM/GPRS/UMTS/LTE interface suitable for connecting the portable device to a NET communications network, 35 . localization means, which can be based on the GSM/GPRS/UMTS/LTE interface, but can also comprise a GPS interface capable of receiving signals from a constellation of satellites to determine its own position.
-6- Through the localization means, it is possible to calculate a distance travelled by the portable device in a time interval.
The system of the present invention is modular at least because the processing unit can also be equipped with a GSM/GPRS/UMTS/LTE interface and localization means, independent of the means integrated in the portable device.
According to the present invention, the processing unit E comprises distance measuring means D, arranged to measure a first distance D1 travelled by the velocipede, when the unit is operatively associated with the velocipede. According to the present invention, the portable device is configured, for example by means of an application, to acquire the first distance and compare it with the second distance and when said comparison is negative C1. the portable device is configured to signal said discrepancy by means of an acoustic and/or vibration signal.
Preferably, not only the portable device acquires the first distance from the processing unit E, but sends the second distance calculated by its own localization means to the processing unit.
It may therefore be an exchange of information between the processing unit and the portable device.
Figure 1 also shows a server SV connected to the infrastructured communications network. Preferably, when instead the comparison between the first and the second distance is positive then C2a. the portable device is further configured to transmit the distance to the remote server. Preferably, the first distance, which obviously coincides with the second distance, is transmitted to the remote server and associated with a unique identifier of the processing unit.
Figure 4 shows a flow chart to help understanding of the strategy subject of the present invention.
The total distance travelled by the velocipede, to which the processing unit is associated, is stored stably in the server and the server is set to incrementally acquire the distances travelled in each session of use of the velocipede, so that the total distance cannot be manipulated. In other words, it is not possible to hide the state of wear of the velocipede.
With reference to Figure 2, the processing unit comprises means for connecting to the GSM/GPRS/UMTS/LTE infrastructure communication network and is configured to acquire said second distance travelled from the portable device and compare it with the first distance travelled and when the comparison it's positive.
C2b. the processing unit is further configured to transmit the second distance travelled to the remote server.
The distance measurement means of the processing unit may include
-7- - a device comprising a gyroscope adapted to be associated with a hub of a wheel of the velocipede and configured to communicate to the processing unit the number of rotations of the wheel, or - a Hall effect device associated with a fixed part of the velocipede and at least one magnet associated with a wheel of the velocipede and in such a way that the device faces towards the magnet to detect a rotation of the wheel.
Obviously, the means for distance measurement necessary for calculating the first distance can have any nature.
According to Figure 3, the means for measuring the distance can, similarly to what happens in the portable device, exploit an infrastructured communication network and/or a constellation of satellites.
According to a preferred variant of the invention, the system comprises a remote server SV connected to the infrastructured communication network and the processing unit can be connected to the infrastructured communication network to communicate directly with the remote server, rather than through the portable device PD, and is configured to acquire from the portable device the second distance travelled and compare it with the first distance travelled and wherein when the comparison is positive C2b. the processing unit is further configured to transmit said distance to the remote SV server.
Evidently, according to this variant of the invention, the portable device is essential only to warn the owner of the velocipede.
Obviously, the exchange of information and any reporting of possible theft can also be reported to the owner via the infrastructured communications network, if the portable device is too far from the velocipede to use short-range communication.
Preferably, the processing unit is further equipped with second positioning means configured to calculate a third distance and when the processing unit is not connected with the portable device, it is configured to compare it with said first distance and if the comparison is negative, C3. the processing unit is configured to transmit to the remote server its position obtained from said second localization means, via the infrastructured communication network.
In other words, if for any reason the processing unit fails to communicate with the portable device, and detects that the third distance does not coincide with the first distance, this implies the event that the velocipede is stolen and loaded on another vehicle.
Therefore, the wheel of the velocipede is stationary and therefore the first distance is zero or almost zero, while the third distance is considerable.
Preferably, the processing unit is further configured to be activated upon impulse of the distance measuring means and to be deactivated, at least temporarily, when the distance measuring means are deactivated for a predetermined time interval and wherein the processing unit is configured to automatically connect with said portable device when it is activated and, when the processing unit is connectable to the infrastructured communication network equipped with second localization means, it is configured to activate cyclically and verify that its position is
-8- unchanged with respect to the previous activation and if the position is changed, then the unit is configured to report its current position to the remote server.
The present invention also relates to a method of monitoring a velocipede by means of the processing unit to be associated with the velocipede and comprising distance measuring means, arranged to measure a first distance travelled by the velocipede, and a portable device connected to a communication network. infrastructured and comprising processing and storage means, wireless interface means for communicating with the processing unit, first positioning means arranged to calculate a second distance travelled only when wirelessly associated with the processing unit.
The method comprises a first step of comparing the first distance with the second distance and when said comparison is negative, a second step of signalling said discrepancy by means of an acoustic and/or vibration signal by means of the portable device.
The present invention can be advantageously realized by means of a computer program which comprises coding means for carrying out one or more steps of the method, when this program is executed on a computer.
Therefore it is intended that the scope of protection extends to said computer program and further to computer readable means comprising a recorded message, said computer readable means comprising program coding means for carrying out one or more steps of the method. , when said program is run on a computer.
Implementation variants of the described non-limiting example are possible, without however departing from the scope of protection of the present invention, including all the equivalent embodiments for a person skilled in the art, to the content of the claims.
From the above description, the person skilled in the art is able to realize the object of the invention without introducing further construction details.
