Abstract

Système de suivi et de localisation d'un véhicule volé et procédé associé La présente invention concerne un système de suivi et de localisation d'un véhicule volé (SV) comprenant un serveur (110) ; un premier dispositif de communication (120) monté sur le véhicule volé (SV), le premier dispositif de communication (120) ayant une adresse unique (UA) et étant configuré pour communiquer à l'aide d'une communication sans fil de courte portée, un deuxième dispositif de communication (130) pour communiquer l'adresse unique du premier dispositif de communication (120) au serveur (110), ce qui permet d'informer le serveur (110) au sujet du véhicule volé (SV) ; et un troisième dispositif de communication (140) configuré pour communiquer avec le premier dispositif de communication (120) à l'aide d'une communication sans fil de courte portée, le troisième dispositif de communication (140) étant en outre configuré pour communiquer avec le serveur (110) sur un réseau afin de recevoir l'adresse unique (UA) du premier dispositif de communication (120) et pour envoyer l'emplacement géographique du véhicule volé (SV) lorsque le troisième dispositif de communication (140) communique avec le premier dispositif de communication (120).
