Definitions

  • This invention concerns an electronic journey recording system for a vehicle.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a simple yet reliable journey recording system, suitable for use in any vehicle from small cars, to large commercial vehicles and even earth movers, which makes use of modern electronic means and therefore does not involve the manual insertion and removal of tachograph discs, nor any hard copy storage of data within the vehicle.
  • the invention provides a vehicle journey recording system comprising sensor means sensing and delivering journey data to a first microprocessor to which a real time clock, a first, non-volatile, digital memory and a power supply are connected, the sensed data then being stored in the first memory along with a record of the effective time and date thereof, the microprocessor also being connected to a data download head bearing electrical contacts, and the system also comprising a separate key device incorporating a second microprocessor and a second memory whereby the data in the first memory can be transferred to the key device by touching said device against the contacts of the head, and said data can be further transferred to a remote computer by similarly holding said key device against corresponding electrical contacts provided on the computer or on a secondary head connected thereto.
  • the microprocessor is connected to the data download head by way of an immobiliser, which is a device, already commercially available from the applicants, which is connectable to the ignition system of a vehicle and serves to cut the electrical connection thereof whenever the vehicle is left by the owner or authorised driver.
  • an immobiliser which is a device, already commercially available from the applicants, which is connectable to the ignition system of a vehicle and serves to cut the electrical connection thereof whenever the vehicle is left by the owner or authorised driver.
  • the vehicle is effectively immobilised and cannot be started up and driven off by unauthorised personnel.
  • the immobiliser incorporates a microprocessor and is connected to a contact head which is usually mounted on the vehicle dashboard.
  • the immobiliser is released, that is to say, the cut-out of the electrical circuit is de-activated, when its microprocessor recognises a predetermined unique digital identification code.
  • This code is input to it by a key device incorporating a memory and a microprocessor (similar to the key device which is part of the journey logging system of the present invention) being touched against the contact head.
  • the contact head of the immobiliser functions also as the data download head of the logging system and the key devices of both the immobiliser and the logging system can effectively communicate with the respective microprocessors of the immobiliser and the logging system by way of this head.
  • the key device inputs its unique identification code
  • the key device firstly inputs its identification code and upon recognition of same by the first microprocessor of the system, it receives the journey data stored in the first memory of the system.
  • the data download head preferably also includes means for giving visual signals.
  • an audible signal such as a bleep, and/or a visible signal, such as illumination of an LED or small lamp, may be given when the identification code is recognised upon key contact.
  • the audible signal if provided for, is generated by separate means connected to the first microprocessor, whilst the LED or lamp is incorporated in the contact head.
  • One or both such signals may also be used to indicate completion of transfer of the journey data from the first microprocessor to the key device.
  • Another purpose of such signals is to indicate to the vehicle driver whenever the first memory is approaching a state of being completely filled up with journey data, necessitating download of the data via the key device if the earlier data is not to be lost, by being recorded over as logging continues.
  • the power supply is suitably in the form of a lithium battery, having an effective life of between one and three years.
  • the sensor means is preferably a magnetic shock sensor which should be mounted to any convenient part of the vehicle chassis. This will sense all vibrations of the vehicle associated with its motion and effectively indicates the period when the vehicle is in motion, which period is then logged in the digital memory by interaction with the clock data.
  • the sensor means may comprise a counter device linked into the connection between the speedometer and mileo eter of the vehicle to log the distance covered by the vehicle.
  • Such sensor means may be provided in addition to the aforesaid motion detecting sensor, in which case an additional non-volatile memory store would need to be provided and linked in series with the first non-volatile memory to connect to the first microprocessor.
  • Another alternative would be for the sensor means to comprise a microwave device mounted at the front of the vehicle to monitor the distance of said vehicle from the rear of any preceding vehicle. Again, this could be provided in addition to the vibration sensor and/or the distance sensor, and would require a separate non-volatile memory linked through the microprocessor to the data download head.
  • Fig 1 is a block diagram of an exemplary system in accordance with the invention.
  • Fig 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the data download head of the preferred system
  • Fig 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the key device of the preferred system.
  • Fig 4 is a circuit diagram of the unit constituting the system of the invention, excepting for the separate key device.
  • the apparatus required for the preferred system of the invention comprises an enclosed unit, indicated at 10 in Fig 1, which may be mounted in any suitable concealed position within a vehicle being fitted with the system, a magnetic shock sensor 12, which is mounted at any convenient position on the vehicle chassis, an immobiliser unit 14, also mounted at a concealed position in the vehicle, generally behind the dashboard, a data download head 16, which is mounted in the dashboard, and a data download key 18.
  • the head 16 is shown in Fig 2. It includes electrical contacts 24, 26 and a light emitting diode (LED) 28.
  • the key 18 is shown in Fig 3. It consists of a small disc-shaped metal housing 20 mounted on a tapering plastics base 22.
  • the key 18 is a separate component, that is to say .it is not connected to the remainder of the system apparatus.
  • the key housing 20 encloses a microprocessor and a memory. Such an item is commercially available, for example from Dallas Inc of Texas, USA.
  • a microprocessor 30 Within the unit 10, as indicated in Fig 1, there is a microprocessor 30, a 64K non-volatile digital memory 32, a real-time clock 34, a lithium battery 36, and means 38 for audio signal generation. As shown, the components 32 to 38 are all electrically connected to the microprocessor 30. The external shock sensor 12 and the immobiliser unit 14 are also electrically connected to the microprocessor 30. And the data download head 16 is connected to the microprocessor 30 by way of the immobiliser unit 14.
  • the immobiliser unit 14 is an optional part of the system. It includes a microprocessor and in operation it is connected to the ignition system of the vehicle with a facility to cut the electrical circuit of the ignition system, or to cut its connection to its power supply (battery) whenever the engine is switched off. The circuit connection or power supply is re-established only by the inputting of a predetermined identification code by means of a key device.
  • the immobiliser key device is not shown, but it is identical in its external appearance to the key device of the journey logging system, which is shown in Fig 3..
  • An authorised driver who possesses the necessary key device carrying the unique immobiliser code inputs said code to the unit 14 simply by touching the housing (as 20) of the key device to the electrical contacts 24, 26 of the data download head 16.
  • the unit 10 records when the vehicle is in authentic use, ie when it is in motion.
  • the clock 34 is used by the microprocessor 30, in conjunction with the information from the magnetic shock sensor 12, to record in the memory 32 the date and time of each start and stop of the vehicle.
  • the sensor 12 detects vibration and transmits an electrical impulse to the microprocessor 30 whenever a vibration occurs.
  • the microprocessor 30 counts the pulses. A "start” is recorded in the memory 32 only when an excess of 25 pulses has been counted. This ensures that only a genuine start up of the vehicle is recorded.
  • a "stop” is recorded in the memory 32 only when there have been no pulses for a period of over 3 minutes, the time of the "stop” event then being back dated to 3 minutes before either by the microprocessor 30 or in the ultimate software, depending on the set up of the system.
  • This ensures that short idle spells, for example while the vehicle stands in a traffic jam, are not recorded as "stops". In this respect, virtually any motion of. the vehicle will give rise to sensor pulses and it is extremely unlikely, even in a severe jam, that no motion at all will occur in a 3 minute period. In this way, the recording of spurious stops and starts is reduced to a minimum.
  • the digital memory 32 is capable of storing up to 4,000 events, an event, as mentioned, being a start or stop, as well as a change of date. Assuming about ten journeys per day, this allows for over 200 days of storage. At the time when only a further 50 events can be recorded, whenever the vehicle ignition is switched on the microprocessor 30 will cause generation of an audible series of tones by the audio means 38. These will continue until the ignition is switched off. Obviously, the tone is intended to indicate to the driver that the memory 32 is almost full and that it is time to download the journey data stored therein. If this is not done, when the memory 32 is completely full new data starts to be recorded over the oldest, so the oldest data is lost in the "wrap-around" process.
  • Downloading of data is accomplished very simply by the driver touching the disc 20 of the key 18 to the contacts 24, 26 of the download head 16, so as to complete the circuit, for only a few seconds.
  • the vehicle ignition must be switched on to enable downloading to take place.
  • a unique identification code is transferred from the key 18 to the logging unit 10. Once this is. recognised by the microprocessor 30, an audio visual signal is given (by means 38 and 28) and copying of data from the memory 32 to the memory in the housing 20 takes place.
  • a further audio visual signal is given.
  • the pulse counter in the microprocessor 30 is automatically re-set to zero and the audio tone indicative of a nearly-full memory (if it was being emitted) is cancelled. Data recording can then continue and go on over the previously recorded data, which has been downloaded.
  • the key 18 can be used over and over again, and, of course, the unit 10, along with the sensor 12 and download head 16 will function indefinitely, provided the battery 36 is replaced or recharged, as necessary.
  • the use of a 180 AH lithium cell, which gives a life of 3 years, is recommended, but alternatives are, of course, possible.
  • a battery having a life of at least 12 months, is, however, preferred.
  • the data in the memory 32 can be copied to more than one key 18, only keys which carry the relevant unique identification code will be able to extract the data, so the system is secure.
  • Fig 4 is a circuit diagram of the system which operates as described above, but without the inclusion of the immobiliser unit, and the key 18 is not shown, being, as it is, a separate item.

Abstract

Un capteur (12) capte des données de trajet et les transmet à un premier microprocesseur (30) auquel sont reliées une horloge temps réel (34), une première mémoire rémanente numérique (32) et une alimentation électrique (36). La première mémoire (32) stocke alors les données captées ainsi qu'un relevé du jour et du temps utiles. Le microprocesseur (30) est également relié à une tête de téléchargement de données (16) porteuse de contacts électriques. Le dispositif comporte également un dispositif à touches (18) distinct dans lequel se trouvent un second microprocesseur et une seconde mémoire. Il est possible de transférer des données présentes dans la première mémoire (32) vers ce dispositif à touches (18) en lui faisant effleurer les contacts de la tête (16) de même qu'il est possible, de surcroît, de transférer ces données dans un téléordinateur en maintenant, de la même façon, ledit dispositif (18) contre les contacts électriques correspondant sur l'ordinateur ou contre une tête secondaire qui lui est raccordée. Le premier microprocesseur est éventuellement relié à une tête de téléchrgement (16) au moyen d'un dispositif d'immobilisation (14) pouvant se raccorder sur le circuit d'allumage du véhicule et servant à couper la liaison électrique de celui-ci quelque soit l'endroit où le véhicule est laissé par son propriétaire ou un conducteur autorisé.
