Definitions
- the present invention proposes a transponder system for a vehicle.
- Vehicles are often equipped with an anti-theft device that uses a transponder system to determine when the immobilizer should be activated.
- a transponder that has stored an access code is installed in the ignition key of the vehicle.
- the ignition lock includes an antenna that can be used to send signals to the transponder and to receive signals from the transponder when the key is inserted in the lock.
- the antenna is connected to the vehicle's on-board electronics module (BEM).
- BEM sends a query signal to the transponder, which triggers the transponder to send the access code to the BEM. If the received access code is valid, the BEM deactivates the immobilizer.
- the BEM queries the transponder at regular intervals for the valid access code, and if this is not received, for example if the ignition key is no longer in the vehicle, the BEM activates the immobilizer.
- the present invention describes a transponder system for a vehicle, in which a transponder sends an access signal in response to an interrogation signal and one Signal processing means for transmitting said interrogation signal and for receiving said access signal which said transponder sends in response to said interrogation signal, the system being characterized in that said signal processing means sends said interrogation signal as a transponder test signal when the vehicle is deactivated a warning signal is generated when said access signal is received in response to said transponder test signal.
- Figure 1 is a block diagram of the transponder system for a vehicle
- FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the transponder system
- FIG. 3 shows the block diagram of part of the transponder system with an ignition lock transmitter and receiver unit
- FIG. 4 is the block diagram of the ignition lock transmitter and receiver unit.
- a vehicle 2 has an anti-theft device, which contains a transponder system 4 as shown in the figures.
- the transponder system 4 contains an electronic transponder 6 and an on-board electronic module (BEM) 8 which can communicate with one another via a transponder antenna 10 located inside the steering column 12 next to the ignition switch 14 of the vehicle 2.
- BEM on-board electronic module
- the transponder 6, which is incorporated in the ignition key 16 of the vehicle 2 has an electronic access identifier stored.
- the BEM When the ignition key 16 is inserted into the lock cylinder of the ignition switch 14 and when the switch 14 is moved from an 'off' position 18 to an 'on' position 20, which can be ACC or IGN, the BEM sends a query signal to the antenna 10 With the ignition key 16 in the ignition lock switch 14, the transponder 6 is within the transmission range of the antenna 10 and the interrogation signal excites the transponder so that it sends the access identifier to the antenna 10. The access identifier is received by the BEM 8, which checks the identifier for validity. If the access code is valid, the BEM generates a signal which causes the immobilizer to no longer be activated.
- the BEM 8 polls the transponder 6 at regular intervals in order to obtain the access identifier and if the access identifier is not is received, the BEM 8 generates a signal to activate the immobilizer. This will happen when the key 16 is removed from the ignition switch 14 and is out of the range of the antenna 10.
- the BEM 8 includes a microprocessor 22 whose control goods are stored in the electronic memory 24.
- the components of the transponder system 4 are known and are already components of vehicles.
- the following components are also already installed in vehicles:
- Door locking devices 30 for the locks of each door.
- the devices 30 are electromechanical devices that are designed to be interlocking and
- Unlocking signals for activating locking mechanisms in the corresponding doors of vehicle 2 are received.
- the doors also include a trunk lid or a tailgate.
- the contacts 32 serve to determine whether a door is open and to send the signal to the vehicle electronics forward so that corresponding units, such as the interior lighting, are activated.
- Signal indicators 34 can be located at various locations in the vehicle and normally consist of lamps that are switched or activated by the vehicle electronics.
- the signal displays 34 can also include, for example, the left and right direction indicators of the vehicle 2.
- An acoustic signal or warning signal 36 such as a siren.
- the BEM 8 is connected to the door locking devices 30, the door contacts 32 and the visual and acoustic indicators 34 and 36 as shown in the figures, either via the data bus of a LAN in the vehicle 2 or at least one of the wiring harnesses of the vehicle 2.
- the control program of the BEM 8 is changed to reconfigure the BEM 8 so that the latter is able to work as described below:
- the BEM 8 also sends an interrogation signal as a transponder test signal if it determines that the person in the possession of the ignition key 16 has deactivated or parked the vehicle 2 and is about to get out.
- the BEM 8 is also able to determine whether this determination is based on the signals it can receive from switches, contacts and sensors in the vehicle 2, such as the door lock 30, the door contacts 32 and the ignition lock 14.
- the BEM 8 receives the access identification signal in response to the transponder test signal, the transponder 6 is still within range of the antenna 10, although the person is about to get out. This happens when the person has accidentally left the ignition key 16 in the ignition lock 14, or in the more important case, when the transponder 6 has been removed from the ignition key 16 and attached to the steering column 12 in the vicinity of the antenna 10.
- the BEM 8 When the BEM 8 receives the access identifier in response to the transponder test signal, it generates a warning signal which is sent to at least one of the visual and acoustic warning displays 34 and 36 in order to alert the person. The person can then check whether the ignition key 16 has been left in the ignition lock 14 or whether a potential thief has actually removed the transponder 6 and attached it to the steering column 12. 9/29543
- the BEM 8 can generate the transponder test signal upon detection of one of the following conditions:
- the ignition lock switch 14 is in the 'off' position 18 and the doors of the vehicle are being locked, as the BEM 8 detects by the door locking signal it receives from the door locking devices 30, for example.
- the receipt of the access code as a response causes the BEM 8 to generate an alarm signal by the signal displays 34 and / or 36.
- the transponder system must not show a situation in which the ignition key 16 was inadvertently left in the ignition lock 14 before the vehicle 2 was locked. Instead, you would rely on a key contact in the lock to report whether the key is in the same way as it is already installed in some vehicles.
- the ignition lock switch 14 is in the 'off' position 18 and at least one of the door contacts has been actuated, indicating that one of the doors has been opened.
- the transponder system 4 eliminates the need for a key contact to indicate that the key in the Lock was left.
- the BEM 8 would cause a warning signal to be generated using the displays 34 and / or 36. Since the meaning of the warning signal can also simply be interpreted as a key left in the ignition lock 14, although perhaps the transponder
- the BEM 8 can additionally react as described in the last section. If the conditions of the previous section are subsequently met and the access identifier is received, then the BEM 8 would output an increased warning signal via the signal displays 34 and / or 36, which indicates that the alarm state has escalated since the first alarm was generated.
- the ignition lock switch 14 is in the 'off' position 18 and an unlock signal has been sent to unlock the doors of the vehicle 2.
- the BEM 8 therefore checks the presence of the transponder 6 before the person gets on the vehicle and inserts the key 16 into the ignition lock 14. If it is determined that the transponder 6 is present, then a potential thief has removed it from the key and a corresponding warning signal is output via the signal displays 34 and / or 36.
- Unlocking signal can be remotely controlled by the BEM 8 or received via the door locking device 30.
- the ignition lock switch 14 was previously in the 'on' position 20, then was moved to the 'off' position 18 for a set period of time, and the key contact in the lock reports removal of the key 16.
- the transponder system 4 described above is particularly advantageous because it checks the authorization of the user and also provides information as to whether the transponder 6 has been removed from the key by a potential thief and has been moved within the range of the antenna 10.
- the system 4 can also be used to save the key contact in the ignition lock 14, which indicates whether the key has been left in the plug, which can reduce the production costs.
- the transponder system 4 can be implemented by means of a radio transceiver 40, which is a
- Interface function provides between the BEM 8 and a Tiris TM 23mm Glass Digital Signature Transponder (DST) 6, which is installed in a Tibbe TM ignition key 16, as shown in Figure 3.
- the DST 6 is a cryptographic device, which generates an encrypted access signal in response to a request for an interrogation signal.
- the antenna 10 is tapped in the middle and is part of the transceiver 40.
- the transceiver 40 is part of an ignition lock unit (TILA) 50, see FIG. 4, which also includes the steering wheel lock 52 and the
- the Ignition starter switch 54 contains.
- the transceiver 40 includes an input interface 42 to receive data sent by the BEM 8; an output interface 44 to pass received clock and data signals to the BEM 8; an antenna interface 46 for the tapped antenna 10 and also a voltage regulator 48 to provide a regulated power supply for a main data processing unit 49 of the transceiver 40.
- the TILA 50 is configured so that the antenna 10 can be clamped to a steering wheel lock without having to change the existing steering column cover.
- the transceiver 40 generates a magnetic field with a frequency of 134 kHz, which is emitted by the antenna coil 10.
- the energy of the field activates the DST 6 and sends the DST 6 a pulse width modulated (PWM) data stream in the form of a modulated radio frequency signal.
- PWM pulse width modulated
- the energy transfer to and from the DST 6 is in half-duplex, in which the transmissions take place in succession.
- the DST 6 stores the received energy in a capacitor and this energy is then used to send a data stream in frequency modulation with frequency shift keying (FSK) back to the transceiver 40.
- the data transferred to the DST 6 is a random 40 bit request and the DST 6 reports a 24 bit signature.
- the transceiver 40 demodulates the return signal and forwards the demodulated response data to the BEM 8 for further processing.
- the BEM 8 performs an authorization determination process in accordance with a request / response protocol. The correct answer can only be obtained if the cryptographic key is known to both the BEM 8 and the DST 6.
- the encryption algorithm which is the same in BEM 8 and DST 6, ensures that the cryptographic key is hidden during the request and response. If an attempt is made to lock the vehicle, the BEM 8 generates a warning signal if it detects an open door or an unlocked door or if the transponder 16 is in the vicinity of the TILA 50.
- the last condition means that either the ignition key 16 has been left in the lock 14 or that the transceiver 6 has been left near the TILA 50 for the purpose of vehicle theft while it is unattended.
- This state is used to distinguish it from other states, for example indicated that a special acoustic signal is generated by the siren and / or an LED 34 is started inside the vehicle.
- the BEM 8 can communicate with the engine management system 60 of the vehicle and the message display 62 installed in the vehicle, which can be part of or separate from the instrument unit.
- the message display 62 serves to display messages to the driver or to a passenger.
- the engine management system 60 can be used to activate the
- Immobilizer or issuing driver authorization may be responsible.
- the engine management system could pay attention to whether an attempt is made to start the vehicle, and if so, a 32 bit request is sent to the BEM 8.
- the BEM 8 After evaluating the access identifier, the BEM 8 will simply send a message regarding the validity of the access identifier to the engine management system 60 in response to the request. This information is forwarded to the engine management system 60 as a 32-bit response.
