Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of remote controls and, more particularly, the field of remote control of a specific action relating to a fixed or mobile object whose position is not necessarily known.
- the transmission is wired, as in conventional home automation, the object must be stationary, such as an apartment or a villa, and a cut in the connection wire causes a total shutdown of the system, which can seriously affect the object. control.
- the high price of telephone communications by the cellular network tends to limit its use to the strict minimum, the time for dialing an identification code, even if the latter is well known to the user, still remaining of a cost often prohibitive compared to the interest of the remote-controlled action.
- the present invention therefore falls within this context, and aims to overcome these drawbacks.
- the present invention finds a main application in the field of anti-theft devices for vehicles, but also in related fields such as the transport of funds and / or goods in which a door unlocking can be favorably remote-controlled from a command center. remote, especially for time stamping and / or security, and also in the field of home automation where certain specific actions must be controlled remotely.
- Document EP-A-0 778 184 describes a device for remotely deactivating the operation of a vehicle in the event of a theft observed.
- This complex device can use a cell phone to inform the owner of the vehicle in the event theft, but the latter must use a conventional transponder and use multiple identification codes to stop the vehicle.
- the invention therefore relates to a remote control system for at least one specific action relating to a fixed or mobile object, the position of which is not necessarily known, using a receiver operating in a frequency band reserved for cellular mobile telephony. and comprising a one-to-one identification code, the receiver being connected to a means for controlling the at least one determined action.
- the identification code is a simple telephone number accessible from any telephone set in the switched network, a simple ring signal received being capable of triggering the determined action.
- the receiver is a cellular mobile telephone connected to a means of detecting the occurrence of a specific fact affecting the object, by means of a control means triggering a determined numbering as an output signal from the telephone. cell phone.
- the receiver is a receiver of messages of the "pager" type.
- the device of the invention since it is the ringing signal which controls the determined action, the device of the invention is extremely simple, therefore inexpensive, and it there is only a reduced additional cost of communication for the user.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the operation of the system according to the invention.
- Figure 2 schematically represents the additional electronics necessary for the implementation of the invention.
- FIG. 3 is an alternative block diagram of the operation of the system of the invention.
- the assembly 10 is a conventional receiver operating in one of the frequency bands used in cellular mobile telephony . It can thus be a simple receiver of messages of the 'pager' type, or else a simplified mobile phone or not. In all cases, a one-to-one conventional telephone number is assigned to receiver 10.
- the user of the system can perform a remote control by simply dialing the telephone number of the receiver 10 on a telephone set connected to the switched network.
- the system is therefore capable of operating from a point very far from the remote-controlled object, and this without additional local retransmission beacons being required.
- the ringing signal 26 is taken from the receiver 10 and is applied to a control member 14 by means of a rectification and amplification stage 12.
- FIG. 2 An example of this stage 12 has been shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2 to show its extreme simplicity.
- a diode 30 rectifies the ringing signal, and the signal thus rectified is applied to the base of an amplification pnp transistor 32 biased by means of a resistor 34, the output signal being taken between the bias resistor. 34 and the collector of transistor 32 to be applied to the input of the control member 14.
- this example is purely illustrative of an embodiment, any other rectification and amplification or detection circuit of a ringing signal can be validly implemented, as is known in the art of telephony.
- the effective ringing signal detected by the receiver is the nth signal received sequentially in a determined period of time.
- the receiver 10 may only trigger the determined action on the third signal received successively in less than a minute, that is to say if it has previously received two brief ringing signals, with intermediate hanging up. , only the third ring signal being taken into account if it arrives before the end of the determined period of 1 min in this case.
- the telephone number of the calling telephone set can be verified locally as being one of the numbers authorized to control the system remotely, this will be seen in relation to the description in Figure 2.
- a system 24 for detecting the occurrence of a precise and determined fact is added to the system, the signal of which output is used to control a switch 22 of relay type, connected to telephone 10 so as to shunt and / or replace the callback recall key for a telephone number in the telephone's memory.
- a set of rechargeable batteries (not shown in the Figures) is provided for electrically supplying the components of the system in the event of normal power failure.
- the receiver 10 remains substantially always connected to normal power to ensure maximum recharging of its autonomous batteries.
- the simplified embodiment using a "pager" type receiver is sufficient to allow a driver whose vehicle is stolen before his eyes with the ignition keys, to trigger an on-board alarm and / or to remotely control the engine shutdown.
- the engine will be shut down intelligently to avoid any accident, i.e. when the vehicle is stopped, for example at a traffic light (engine idling) or in a parking space (engine stopped does not can no longer be returned to service).
- This simplified remote control system also finds applications in the field of home automation, for example for controlling access doors to a garage or a protected place with controlled access.
- the more elaborate embodiment using a mobile phone finds major application in the field of anti-theft of motor vehicles.
- the occurrence detector 24 is then a simple theft or break-in detector, for example of the volumetric or energy consumption type.
- the system then makes it possible to warn the owner of the vehicle, who can then take the decision he wishes, for example by remotely controlling the immobilization of the vehicle.
- the receiver 10 is connected to the control means 12 -and to the detection means 22, when the receiver 10 is a cellular mobile telephone, - by means of a control unit 30 essentially including a programmed microprocessor 32, a memory means 34 and a DTMF type recognition device 40.
- This control unit 30 is preferably unique for the control means 12 and for the detection means 22, but it can also be duplicated. In the example shown, it is unique and also includes a means of detecting the ring 36.
- This control unit 30 can firstly favorably verify that the telephone number of the calling station is one of the authorized numbers stored in local memory 34, and only initiate the action if this is the case.
- this control unit 30 can be adapted to receive and validate a specific identification code, for example of the four-digit type.
- This control unit 30 is essentially designed to allow remote control of a choice of several possible actions, such as those previously indicated. To this end, the unit 30 ensures that the receiver 10 goes off-hook, checks the identity of the caller, and waits for the reception of a code from a list of codes associated with each of the possible actions, to trigger the requested action. .
- this control unit 30 can also have in memory 34 several telephone numbers to be called successively until response from one of them, upon the occurrence of a fact justifying such a call. Preferably, these numbers can be changed remotely.
- This control unit 30 can also be connected to a means 42 of spatial location by satellites of the GPS ("Global Positioning System") or equivalent type, so that the precise position of the vehicle thus equipped is precisely determined. In which case, the control unit 30 can ensure the telephone transmission of the position of the vehicle, which can be very useful in the event of theft of the vehicle. Similarly, a vehicle may only be authorized to travel in a specific area, for example in the event of rental or use on a site or if it is part of a fleet controlled, the vehicle exit information from the authorized zone then being directly reported by telephone.
- GPS Global Positioning System
- the microprocessor 32 of the control unit 30 can, for example, be programmed simply by telephone, after acceptance of a secret identification code or verification of an authorized telephone number.
- the receiver 10 is a mobile telephone operating on a cellular telephone network
- this telephone may be advantageous for this telephone to be of the type without subscription and with a prepayment card in order to further reduce the operating cost of the system.
- the system can operate with a simple voice telephone line, but that it requires a data transmission line when it is connected to a device such as that of spatial location 42, to a remote diagnostic device or to the Internet.
- control unit 30 can, without any difficulty for the skilled person, be connected to a online payment module, in particular when the vehicle is rented, to a web such as the Internet to determine an appropriate route, to an online remote diagnostic system in the event of any breakdown, to a keyboard and / or to a screen 'display in order to allow a dialogue with a remote interlocutor, this by means of simple inputs-outputs 38 provided for this purpose.
- the messages sent from the control unit 30 can be favorably chosen from a message store included in the memory 34, for example speech synthesis, describing the problem encountered on the vehicle.
