RU67306U1 - METHOD FOR PROTECTING A MOBILE PHONE AND OTHER ITEMS FROM THEFT - Google Patents

Abstract

The method of protecting a mobile phone and other items from theft is intended for timely notification of the owner of a mobile phone and other items about their abduction. Basis - RFID technology. No one used the interruption of the signal from the RFID chip (signal loss outside the coverage area of the transceiver) to trigger an alarm. The bottom line is that passive RFID chips have a small radius of interaction with the transceiver, so if this radius is exceeded, a signal is sent to the signal device to turn it on. Option: a transceiver in the phone, it can be a transceiver of the phone itself, operating at different frequencies, for example, 900-1800-1900 MHz, other frequencies, or a separate RFID transceiver installed in the phone, working on other frequencies than a telephone using a telephone antenna or its own antenna, and the above signaling device with a passive RFID chip is worn by a person on clothes, body parts; and in addition, passive RFID tags can also be installed in various objects that a person carries: a wallet, a purse, bank cards, laptops, etc., while the entire system is significantly cheaper. This system allows you to learn about the theft almost at the time of its commission. For example, if the phone, laptop, etc. are going to “shout” - “Hold the thief!” At the time of the abduction, and even more so if the secret abduction took place in a crowded place, the offender may very well be dumbfounded, maybe he will throw the stolen thing, panic runs, than immediately betrays itself. Moreover, at the time of the abduction, he will not have time to remove the SIM card, battery. He will not be able to turn off the phone at the time of his abduction, since to disconnect the phone it will be necessary to enter the appropriate code. Thus, there is a high probability of almost immediately returning the stolen item to its rightful owner. Also, just as importantly, efficiency in “disclosing theft” gives time for a number of necessary operations to prevent financial and other losses, for example, they can be blocked in a timely manner when bank cards are stolen. In addition, with regard to a mobile phone, it is likely that in the near future it will become a universal tool: identification, bank payments (perhaps it will replace bank cards), etc., its role in people's lives will increase significantly, and it will be required appropriate protection not only against theft of the phone itself, but also against the possibility of unauthorized access to databases stored in the phone’s memory. The efficiency provided by the proposed Method of protection against theft will make it possible to block the specified data. In addition, using the proposed device, based on the use of RFID tags and sound lights, it is possible to achieve automatic blocking of the telephone by the operator, closing databases for illegal entry. This will make it possible for the operator to immediately know that the phone is not receiving a signal from these devices with RFID tags that a person carries with him. In addition, the proposed system will not only “knock down the wave” of thefts of mobile phones, but this is currently one of the most common crimes, but also significantly reduce their number.

Description

Device object. Designed for timely notification of the owner of a mobile phone and other items about their abduction.

Analogs: RFID - technologies based on the use of RFID identification chips. Source: article “Password over the air” http://www.termika.ru?pfc?&nd=963848107&nh=1

The specified technology is used to prevent theft of goods in retail chains when a tag with an RFID chip falls into the coverage area of the transceiver; for contactless identification, etc.

No one used the interruption of the signal from the RFID chip (signal loss outside the coverage area of the transceiver) to trigger an alarm.

The bottom line is that passive RFID chips have a small radius of interaction with the transceiver, so if this radius is exceeded, a signal is sent to the signal device to turn it on.

The goal is to achieve a technical result.

Description. A passive (or active) RFID tag (Fig. 1 el. 1) is built into the device worn by the user, for example, on clothes, on the wrist - in the form of a bracelet, watch strap, on the fingers - in the form of a ring, on other parts body.

This device, in addition to the RFID tag, has an electronic device capable of emitting waves in the sound range under the influence of electricity, i.e. perceived by the human ear (f.1 e 2), and (or) a device for supplying a light signal, for example, an LED (f 1 e 3).

At the same time, the indicated tags can be embedded in any items that a person carries with him, for example, laptops, wallets, purses, bank cards, diplomats, bags, suitcases, etc.

This RFID tag receives an encoded signal from a transceiver based on RFID technology located in a mobile phone, smart phone, communicator, laptop, in any other object (f 2 e 1) and sends back this encoded signal, which is received by the specified transceiver device of the phone and is identified in the information processing device that decrypts the given signal.

A passive RFID tag is used, acting over a short distance, for example, 3-10 or more, although active RFID tags, acting over long distances, can be used.

For example, when using a passive RFID tag with a range of 5 meters, worn by the user on clothing, body parts, etc., with an increase in this distance, the signal from the tag does not reach the specified transceiver, resulting in a signal to turn on the device signaling the theft of a mobile phone and other items having the specified transceiver device.

At the same time, in the stolen mobile phone and other objects having a transceiver, for example, in a laptop, due to the excess radius of the passive or active RFID tags, sound, light and other signals (vibration mode) can be turned on, indicating their abduction.

This can take place at the time of the direct abduction, since the kidnapper still does not have time to turn off the phone, let alone remove the battery from it.

In addition, it is possible to envisage the introduction of a PIN code to disconnect the phone, then the thief will not have at all any chance to disconnect the phone at the time of his abduction.

A preferred embodiment is a system in which the transceiver is located in a mobile phone (f 3 e 1), while it may be a transceiver of the mobile phone itself, operating at different frequencies, for example, 900-1800-1900 MHz, other frequencies, or a separate RFID transceiver device installed in the phone, operating at frequencies other than a mobile phone using the phone’s antenna or its own antenna, and the above signal device with a passive RFID chip is worn by a person on clothes, body parts (E 2 f 3); and in addition, passive RFID tags can also be installed in various items that a person has with him: wallet (f 3 e 3), purse, (f 3 e 4), bank cards (f 3 e 5), laptops ( f 3 e 6), etc.

This option significantly reduces the cost of the entire system, since the RFID transceiver is located in only one mobile phone, and passive RFID tags are inexpensive.

If the phone is stolen, the indicated signal device with an RFID tag, worn by a person on clothes or body parts, is turned on and / or a similar device is turned on in the phone and the phone starts to sound an alarm through its own speaker - siren, recorded voice, for example: “Hold a thief! ”, etc., a vibrating alert may be activated, etc.

In case of theft of the remaining indicated items with RFID tags, the phone also turns on a device similar to a signaling device with an RFID tag and sound lights, worn on clothes and (or) parts of a person’s body, and the phone starts to sound an alarm through its own speaker - a siren, a recorded voice, for example: “Hold a thief!”, etc., a vibrating alert can be activated, a vibrating alert, etc.

According to a similar scheme, a device can be made to signal the theft of a mobile phone, smart phone, communicator with a wireless function - Bluetooth technology.

As you know, the radio signal with this technology extends no more than 7-10 meters, its interruption (when the phone thief moves away from its owner a greater distance) will turn on the signal sound-light device (speaker, LED) located in the Bluetooth wireless headset similar to the above RFID tag signaling device used to prevent theft of mobile phones.

The Bluetooth wireless headset may also contain the above-mentioned device for signaling theft of a phone with an RFID tag.

This system allows you to learn about the theft almost at the time of its commission. For example, if the phone, laptop, etc. are going to “shout” - “Hold the thief!” At the time of the abduction, and even more so, if the secret abduction took place in a public place, the offender may very well be dumbfounded, maybe he will throw the stolen thing, panic runs, than immediately betrays itself.

Moreover, at the time of the abduction, he will not have time to remove the SIM card, battery. He will not be able to turn off the phone at the time of his abduction, since to disconnect the phone it will be necessary to enter the appropriate code into it.

Thus, there is a high probability of almost immediately returning the stolen item to its rightful owner.

Also, just as importantly, the speed in “disclosing theft” gives time for a number of necessary operations to prevent financial and other losses, for example, when stealing bank cards, they can be blocked in a timely manner.

In addition, with regard to a mobile phone, it is likely that in the near future it will become a universal tool: identification, bank payments (perhaps it will replace bank cards), etc., its role in people's lives will increase significantly, and it will be required appropriate protection not only against theft of the telephone itself, but also against the possibility of unauthorized access to databases stored in the telephone's memory.

The efficiency provided by the proposed Method of protection against theft will make it possible to block the specified data.

In addition, using the proposed device, based on the use of RFID tags and sound lights, it is possible to achieve automatic blocking of the telephone by an operator, closing databases for illegal entry.

This will make it possible for the operator to immediately know that the phone is not receiving a signal from these devices with RFID tags that a person carries with him.

In addition, the proposed system will not only "knock down the wave" of thefts of mobile phones, but this is currently one of the most common crimes, but also significantly reduce their number.
