Description

Electromechanic protection device for the motor vehicles, mainly for interruption of the electric and/or electronic circuits
Field of technology The technical solution concerns the electromechanic protection device which interrupts multiple electric and/or electronic circuits of the motor vehicle, mainly circuits for control of the engine, and which can include a function of biometric identification of the authorized user. The electromechanic protection device is suitable mainly for additional mounting to the already produced motor vehicles.
Prior state of the art
Multiple systems and connections interrupting the electric or electronic circuits of the motor vehicle in order to prevent an unauthorized use or theft of the vehicle are known. The serially produced protection devices and immobilizers work with the central control unit. Without the respective instruction from the central control unit the engine of the vehicle is unable to start. The disadvantage of such immobilizers is the same standard in the broad series of vehicles, which always leads to creation of a single method to break the protection of the vehicles from whole series.
Additionally mounted immobilizers and protection devices use a box in which multiple circuits are interrupted, for example by means of relay for each circuit. The switching of the relay is controlled by an assessment unit, which switches the relay in case of verification of the authorized user, for example by means of a contactless key, entering a PIN and so on. The disadvantage is that the process of the verification runs in the device which is placed in the vehicle and therefore it is accessible to the eventual thief, too. The disadvantage is also the need for continuous power supply of the protection device.
Publication US2015217726 discloses complex protection system whose part is the scanning of the fingerprint. The system is complex and unsuitable for the additional mounting into vehicles already in use. Multiple patent publications such as CN 106585564, CN206012546, KR20170000908, US2008030301 disclose systems with the scanning of the fingerprint, where the scanner is part of the interior of the motor vehicle. Such solution of the protection device is desired and not known which will not consume any power in the protection mode and which will be able to identify an authorized user on the basis of biometric features. The solution should be universally suitable for various motor vehicles.
Essence of the technical solution
The abovementioned differences are significantly remedied by the electromechanic protection device for the motor vehicles, mainly for interruption of the electric and/or electronic circuits, which includes the removable element according to this technical solution which essence lies in the fact that the removable element has contact interface with the group of contacts which are designed for connection to the group of contacts on the surface of the motor vehicle's interior; the pairs of contacts on the surface in the interior are connected with the electric and/or electronic circuits of the motor vehicle in such a way that the branch of the electric or electronic circuit of the motor vehicle is interrupted and one end produced by the interruption of the branch is connected with the first contact of the pair and the other end produced by the interruption is connected with the second contact of the pair, whereby the removable element involves fixed conductive connections which connect the pairs of contacts of the respective electric and/or electronic circuit of the motor vehicle together. Therefore, the connection of the first contact of the respective branch with the second contact of the respective branch is produced within the removable element.
The surface in the interior of the motor vehicle is a place which is accessible to the user of the motor vehicle, usually from the point of control. This surface also means a place on the motorcycle or other motor vehicle which does not have an interior produced as an internally delimited space closed by the bodywork. The electromechanic protection device according to this technical solution can be used on motorcycles, tricycles or other motor vehicles. The term "surface in interior of the vehicle" therefore has to be understood sufficiently broadly and universally as place accessible to the user without special equipment; it can be a place in the trunk or luggage compartment, too.
The significant feature of the proposed technical solution is the fact that the removable element contains a part of the conductive connection of individual circuits. The disconnection of the removable element makes part of the electric installation - usually cabling (wiring) - incomplete. The disconnection of the circuits is therefore not a relay state, but it is physical. The electromechanic protection device according to this technical solution lacks assessment unit place in the motor vehicle, which brings about important technical and security advantages. In the protection mode (or guard mode) the circuits are disconnected; they lack the connection which is produced within the circuits of the removable element. At the same time in the protection mode the electromechanic protection device has zero consumption of the power. The lack of the assessment unit in the vehicle makes the efforts to break its assessing algorithm - for example through the service mode, by means of keys newly defined as authorized, and so on - impossible. The removable element does not need to have any own source of energy such as battery or accumulator.
The term "electromechanic" means that the device operates with the electric or electronic circuits of the motor vehicle, whereby it mechanically disconnects them, mechanically isolates a sequence which the authorized user takes from the motor vehicle with her. The electromechanic protection device functions as an immobilizer. The term "electromechanic" thus have to be understood in the broadest possible meaning as a connection of the mechanical connector and the electric connections.
The contact interface can have a form of an electric connector with the sufficient number of pairs of contacts. In principle a connector with the odd number of contacts (pins) can be used, whereby only an even number of contacts - form by the pairs for the connection of the branches of the respective circuits - is used. An arrangement is also possible where the one input contact of the removable element is connected with two or more output contacts. In a preferable arrangement a pair of connectors can be used, which will fall into the respective pair of the connectors on the surface in the interior of the motor vehicle. The part of the connectors produces a pair number of contacts; pursuant to their number, however, not all contacts have to be used for connections inside the removable element.
The connections of the first and second contacts of individual pairs within the removable element can be realized by means of wires, cables and preferably by means of a PCB (printed-circuit board). On the PCB the connectors can be soldered and the conductive paths on PCB will produce a necessary combination of connections. This also allows producing various combinations of connections within the removable element. The PCB for removable elements of various electromechanic devices will be produced as individual designs; a computer program with gradual or random generation of combination can serve this purpose. The code of the removable element is in such arrangement placed on the graphics of the conductive connections on the PCB, which however does not present a security risk, since the code is not available in the device in the vehicle. It is also possible to cover the PCB with non- transparent layer after the production of the conductive connections, so it is not possible to read the scheme of connection of first and second contacts of the individual pairs even after the dismantling of the removable element.
The production of the electromechanic protection device according to this technical solution can produce high number of unique connections, which means that a removable element in electromechanic protection devices of various vehicles have different arrangement of the pairs of first and second contacts within the contact interface. In practice this mainly means that first and second contact of a single pair for each motor vehicle has different position within the geometry of the connector and multiple connectors. With the growing number of used contacts the number of available combinations grows exponentially.
The advantage of the proposed technical solution also lies in the fact that the contact interface - for example in form of an ordinary connector - can bear relatively high current load. Thanks to this the removable element is capable to directly switch on and off the power circuits, the relay commonly used in case of electronic immobilizers is not necessary. The relay not only consumes electric energy, but it also can be a source of malfunctions and failures.
The element for blocking the removable element in the position of connection of the contact interface can also be a part of the device according to this technical solution. This blocking element ensures that the contact interface is not disconnected by accident or due to vibrations during a ride. The blocking element can have a form of an electromagnetic lock which mechanically blocks the protrusion of the connector, or it can prevent the grasping of the removable element and so on.
The removable element according to this technical solution can in preferable arrangement include a biometric sensor, too, which is connected with the control of the disconnection. The biometric sensor is activated after the insertion of the removable element into the contact interface; the removable element therefore does not have to have any battery, accumulator or other source of power even in this arrangement. An arrangement has proved preferable, where the biometric sensor is a fingerprint scanner (sensor). The fingerprint scanner can be placed on the removable element in a place which corresponds to the position of the finger, for example thumb during the holding and manipulation of the removable element. After the insertion of the removable element to the contact interface the fingerprint scanner is activated. The user holds the finger on the scanner and after the scanning she can distance the and from the removable element. In order to provide the user with the visual information that scanning of the fingerprint is finished; the removable element can be equipped by a light signalization.
A significant advantage of the realization with the biometric sensor, mainly with the fingerprint scanner, is a removal of the risk that the removable element will be stolen from the authorized user and the motor vehicle will be used with the original removable element without the consent of the authorized user. It is preferable to place the biometric sensor into the body of the removable element. Examining the motor vehicle in the inactive state will not show that the protection device includes a biometric sensor, too. The advantage lies in the fact that during the additional mounting into the vehicle it is necessary to place the biometric sensor to the dashboard, which simplifies the installation. The biometric sensor in the removable element in the inactive state - that is, without the connection with the contact interface - does not consume any electric energy in the vehicle. The manipulation in the motor vehicle without the removable element will not provide a profile of the biometric data of the authorized user, since this profile is stored in the removable element only.
In a preferable arrangement the fingerprint scanner will be placed within the removable element in a place which corresponds to the position of the finger during natural holding of the removable element. Usually the thumb will be the finger designed for scanning, and the position of the fingerprint scanner will corresponds to the place where the thumb is during the holding of the removable element of the particular shape. The shape of the removable element can be ergonomically designed in such a way that it helps the natural and easy grasp between two or three fingers.
In order for the removable element to not to protrude into the interior of the motor vehicle by all its length it will be preferable if the contacts for the connection with the contact interface are placed on the side of the motor vehicle inside a shaft (or well). The shaft has a cavity arranged for the insertion of the removable element. Thanks to the shaft the device can be suitably designed in such a way that it does not protrude out in the interior, for example out of the surface of the dashboard. In order to improve the user and aesthetic characteristics, the shaft can be equipped by the lighting, preferably lighting whose color (chroma) can be set pursuant to particular color of lighting in the particular motor vehicle. The lighting makes the insertion of the removable element in the dark easier. The lighting of the shaft or the lighting within the removable element, too, can at the same time serve the purposes of identification of the locked or unlocked state of the device. For example, the shaft can have red light when the device is in the protection mode (guard mode, locked) and green light when the device is deactivated, the fingerprint has been scanned, and so on.
In order to improve user functions the electromechanic protection device according to this technical solution can be equipped by GPS module which determines the position of the motor vehicle. The electromechanical protective equipment, according to this technical solution, can collaborate also with the GPS module that was already a part of the motor vehicle before this electromechanical protection equipment mounting, whereby it will be interconnected with the shaft. The GPS module is placed within the motor vehicle and it is not tied to the removable element but it cooperates with it, for example in such a way that the GPS module is capable of identifying whether the removable element is inserted and connects the electric or electronic circuits of the motor vehicle. The GPS module can be connected with the wireless communication module, for example with GSM or GRPS communication module, through which the current data concerning the position and state of the motor vehicle are sent. In case of use of the biometric sensor within the removable element, the communication module can also send messages concerning the identity of the driver. The electromechanic protection device according to this technical solution can in such arrangement also serve the purposes of creation of book of rides, or driving log.
The branches which are interrupted by the device according to this technical solution can be part of any electric or electronic system of the motor vehicle. Usually it will concern a connection between the motor and its control unit, between sensors and the control unit. It can also be a circuit of the gear, preferably automatic gear, the unblocking of the electrically controlled handbrake, the control of the starter, the control of the fuel pump, the control of the power steering, and so on.
The important advantage of the proposed technical solution is high reliability and safety of the device. In case the biometric sensor is used the risk of abduction of motor vehicle and its use for terrorist attacks is also ruled out. Even though the motor vehicle itself provides no outward indication concerning the biometric identification, in case of theft the vehicle cannot be started by an unauthorized person even though she has the original removable element. It is not outwardly visible that the device involves biometric sensing, too, since the biometric sensor is part of the removable element.
The proposed technical solution has simple and reliable construction, it is capable to transfer high power load and in active state it consumes no electric energy. The advantage also lies in the fact that the code of the device consisting of concrete geometry of the conductive paths is part of the removable element and it cannot be determined by taking apart the components in the device.
Description of drawings
The technical solution is further disclosed by figures 1 to 6. The depicted connections, individual branches of electroinstallations as well as particular shape of the removable element are only examples and cannot be interpreted as features limiting the scope of protection. For the purposes of clarity the conductive connection depicted in figures 1 to 3 appears to correspond to always the same placement of the pairs within contact interface. In reality the geometry of each connection will be different; each connector will have different connection of contacts.
Figure 1 is a scheme where the device is connected into the circuits between the control unit of the engine and the engine itself. The dotted line depicts the boundary which separates the removable element and the parts installed within the motor vehicle. The connector of the removable element is depicted as approaching but not yet inserted within the connector of the shaft.
Figure 2 depicts the connected removable element with the fingerprint scanner.
Figure 3 is a scheme of the device supplied by the GPS module which is placed within the motor device. The fingerprint scanner is depicted in the position where it switches one conductive connection within the removable element. The dotted line depicts the boundary which separates the removable element and the parts installed within the motor vehicle.
Figure 4 depicts the example of a design of the removable element where the interface is formed by pair of the connectors. Figure 5 depicts the removable element from the previous figure from the point of view of the fingerprint scanner.
On figure 6 the removable element is depicted as inserted in the shaft, where the contact interface is connected with the electroinstallation of the motor vehicle. The shaft is depicted in the partial cross-section which offers a view to its inside with the removable element. The surface of the interior of the motor vehicle in the place of subsequently installed shaft is depicted in the cross-section, too.
Examples of realization of technical solution
Example 1
In this example according to figure 1 the removable element 1 has contact interface 2 formed by a single connector with 11 contacts. These form 5 pairs of contacts; one contact is not connected.
The connector is the same for removable elements in various motor vehicles, but the connection of the contacts within the connector is different for each motor vehicle. The conductive connections 3 within the removable element 1_ correspond to this. After the insertion of the connector into the removable element 1 to the opposite part of the connector on the dashboard of the motor vehicle the disconnected branches of the electric and electronic circuits are conductively connected and the motor vehicle is ready for operation. Communication between the engine control unit (ECU) and the engine (E) is allowed. Example 2
In this example according to figure 2 the removable element 1 is equipped by the fingerprint scanner 4 which connects or disconnects a single conductive connection 3 inside the removable element 1_. In another example the fingerprint scanner 4 can interrupt and switch multiple or all conductive connections 3 in the removable element1 through multiple relays.
Example 3 In this example according to figure 3 the realization according to previous example is supplied by the GPS module 5, which is installed inside the motor vehicle and which is connected with the GSM communicator, by which the messages concerning the position and state of the motor vehicle are sent to the headquarters of the owner of the motor device. The system can be preferable used, for example, within the business fleet or in the car rental service, where by means of the fingerprint scanner 4 it can be identified who has driven the particular motor vehicle (truck, car, road roller, loader, excavator, crane, motorcycle) at particular time. Example 4
Realization according to this example is depicted in figures 4 to 6. The removable element 1_ has a contact interface 2 produced by the pair of connectors which are placed by each other on the front side of the removable element 1_. In this example the identical connectors are used; their suitable directioning and precise insertion is ensured by the shape and protrusions of the body of the removable element 1 On the back side of the removable element there is a fingerprint scanner 4 which is in the placed where the thumb of the hand clenches the body of the removable element 1_.
On the side of the motor vehicle the connector is placed within the shaft 6. The shaft 6 is connected to the surface of the dashboard and it is illuminated by a dim light in color of the lighting of the dashboard. Shaft 6 and removable element 1 have a light source. The authorized user inserts the removable element 1 to the shaft 6 and connects the connectors of the contact interface 2, which activates the fingerprint scanner 4 and at the same time the shaft 6 and the removable element 1_ start to glow red, which signals the blocking of the disconnected circuits. The user holds the removable element 1 for some time in such a way that the thumb is on the fingerprint scanner 4. After the assessment of the authorized user the conductive connection 3 is connected and this connects the branches of electronic and electric circuits of the motor vehicle, too. The shaft 6 and the removable element1 glow green and the user can release the finger from the fingerprint scanner 4. The vehicle is ready to use.
The device can also be set in such a way that after the engine is turned off, or after the door of the driver is opened, it is necessary to scan the fingerprint anew also in the case the removable element 1 has not been removed from the shaft 6. This prevents the use of the vehicle during robbery. Example 5
An electromagnetic lock is in the shaft 6 in this example; this lock controls a little blocking pin falling into the body of the removable element 1 After the insertion of the removable element 1 to the shaft 6 the removable element 1 is still free and unblocked. After the vehicle is started, the signal from the switchbox activates the electromagnetic lock. The lock locks the removable element 1_ in the shaft 6 until the moment of turning the engine off. This prevents the accidental or unintentional interruption of the electronic circuits during the ride.
