Description

System for automatic identification detection of vehicle or target

The present invention relates to a system for automatic vehicle or target automatic detection and detection, and more particularly to the detection of a stolen vehicle.

If the acoustic alarm is not equipped with a vehicle, a known method for compensating for the lack of the alarm is to place an electronic sign on such a vehicle so that a stolen vehicle can be identified by a detection facility located at a given place within the jurisdiction. It is in hidden placement.

However, this method is quite expensive and, in addition, requires the installation of a significant number of electronic sensors on properly confined road tracks within the jurisdiction. This necessitates the induction of the car on the sensor, thus preventing the thief from passing the road on which the sensor is placed. Moreover, it is possible for an informed thief to always discover the presence of a marker on the car he stole, and after that discovery destroy the marker or, for example, block all electromagnetic radiation between the marker and the sensor. By covering the cover with a metal screen, it is possible to disable the cover. Thus, it is always possible for a stolen car to pass without the presence of the stolen car detected on the road on which the sensor is mounted.

The present invention is intended to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks.

A system for detecting an automobile or a target automatically, comprising at least one movable reading device comprising an access means, wherein the reading device is a record storage device of a file of a vehicle or a target discriminating code, and a vehicle or a target. When sending the discrimination code Radio means for querying electronic information, comparison means for comparing the discrimination code included in the file with the discrimination code transmitted by the electronic information, and the discrimination code of the vehicle to the discrimination code stored in the file. Reporting means for immediately reporting the presence of a matched vehicle, a system having a communication center connected to a user station by an information transmission network for updating the discrimination code contained in the file.

An advantage of the present invention is that the present invention can be used because it provides an efficient means for discriminating stolen vehicles for law enforcement agencies such as police or insurance companies. According to the present invention, it is possible to determine whether there is a house where a stolen car is found, so that such an agency can be alerted immediately and take necessary measures. Moreover, the parked car which does not respond to an inquiry from the movable reading device is basically regarded as a suspicious car, and the present invention also provides a detection method for the stolen car.

The features and advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following description taken with reference to the accompanying drawings.

According to the present invention, the individual vehicle shown by reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 is sent out by the reading device 3 started by an authorized employee such as a police officer, a customs officer, or an insurance company employee involved in the detection of the stolen vehicle. It holds electronic information 2 made to respond to the inquiry signal. The response of the information 2 occurs in the form of a coded signal, which makes it possible to discriminate the car by decoding performed on the reading device 2, for example, by the discrimination attribute of the car. The inquiry of the information 2 by the reading device 3 is started as required by the individual authorized personnel when the reading device is within the radio wave reaching range of the transmission circuit of the information 2. Since the identification of the stolen vehicle is made possible, a copy of the file 4 for the identification of the stolen vehicle is recorded in the storage device 5 of the reading device 3. This copy checks the copy of the file 4 stored in the storage device 5 by the comparison circuit 5a to confirm whether or not the discriminating attribute of the car inquired belongs to the list in the stolen car file 4. It is possible to compare the discrimination attribute of the stolen car which was kept inside and the discrimination attribute of the car 1 which received the inquiry. The reading device 3 further includes a reporting device 6 which can be used to report the discrimination attribute of the stolen vehicle to an authorized employee having the reading device. Thus, the authorized employee can make all necessary measures to enable the owner of the car to recover the stolen car and further update the file 4 of the discriminating attribute of the stolen car.

The information 2 can be made in a manner as shown in FIG. According to this embodiment, the information 2 holds an integrated circuit 6 powered by a battery 7 mounted on a substrate 8. The integrated circuit 6 comprises, in a known manner, a programmable ROM 9 coupled to a transmit / receive device 10 connected to an antenna 11. The substrate 8 holds the mounting base 12 in the form of a rivet, for example, because it enables mounting of information on a metal plate of an automobile. The detection wire 13 is buried in the substrate 8, and furthermore, the detection wire 13 is integrated circuit to completely deactivate the information when any plan to scrape or strip the information 2 is made. It is connected in the base 12 to the electronic circuit of (6).

In order to conceal and arrange the system in a jurisdiction, it is necessary for it to be done by an apparatus of the type shown in FIG. 3 in which elements equivalent to those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals. In this case, it is appropriate to plan to update the stolen vehicle file from the center 14 for communication of the discrimination attribute of the stolen vehicle. The center is connected to an information retrieval center 16 for communicating, for example, information elements relating to the discrimination attribute of a stolen vehicle on the information transmission network 17, which may be configured by the computer 15, such as Information elements are sent to user stations 18 distributed throughout its jurisdiction. For example, deployed at a police station facility. This user station is for updating the storage device 5 of the diary device 3. For this purpose, the storage device 5 suitably includes the circuitry and the programmable ROM 9 for comparison of discrimination attributes. Formed by a removable memory card, this programmable ROM is loaded by a memory card loader 19 connected to the microcomputer 20. This system enables the user station 18 to collect information in the file 21 addressed by the microprocessor 20 about the discrimination attribute of the stolen vehicle transmitted to the transmission network 17. The printer 22 connected to the microcomputer 20 enables the file of the discrimination attribute of the stolen vehicle to be printed on the sheet.

As a result, it is possible for each reading apparatus 3 to hold the original file in the storage apparatus regarding the discrimination attribute of the stolen vehicle. This file is loaded into the removable memory card 5. The updating of the storage device 5 may be preferably performed by the user station 18 on a daily basis (eg every time an employee or team of employees initiates a monitoring task). The communication center 14 is updated and obtained at an arbitrary time point (for example, every day) by data elements relating to the discrimination attribute of the stolen vehicle stored in the discrimination attribute file 21 of the user station 18. The communication center 14 is connected to the central file 4 so that it is possible to filter and encode the information elements received by the communication center, for example, to transmit only the identification number of the stolen vehicle over a predetermined time interval. have. The reading device 3 is assembled in the manner as shown in FIG. The ergonomic shape of the reading device 3 is adapted to enable the use of the reading device 3 in walking patrol crews or motorized patrol crews. For this purpose, the individual reading device 3 has a keyboard embedded in one side of the case in order to enable the holder of the reading device to enter, for example, an employee access code or various control data elements. It holds the case 23 which holds 24. The reading device 3 furthermore has a display screen 25, a sound signal generating device 26 and an access means (not shown) for inserting a memory card. The carrying handle 27 is provided so that the walking patrol crew or the motorized patrol crew can carry the reading apparatus.

A logic circuit (not shown) inside the reading device 3 is used to automatically make a discrimination request according to the system, for example. This is an operation method in which only a vehicle having information within a communication range with the reading device 3 responds with the identification number unique to the vehicle, and this identification number is automatically displayed on the display screen 25 of the reading device. Make it possible. The acoustic signal generator 26 is used to inform most of the patrol crews of the immediate presence of one or more stolen vehicles. In that case, the patrol crew can read and understand the discriminated attribute of the detected stolen vehicle on the display screen, and can wirelessly contact the base station, for example, to initiate the recovery behavior of the stolen vehicle.

In a first alternative embodiment of the present invention, for example, the reader 3 is provided with a police station or insurance to enable the purchaser of a used car to confirm that the used car is not recorded as a stolen car before purchase. It is mounted inside a service terminal device placed in a company. The advantage of this system is that whenever each of the cars being inspected stops in front of the service terminal device, it automatically reads the discriminant properties of the car and automatically searches for the legality of the purchased car after searching in a file containing the discriminant properties of the car. It can make it possible to inform the car buyer. This system is also useful for examining the discriminating properties of cars that fall into parking lots, car parking lots or scrap car parking lots.

A second alternative embodiment of the present invention may be used to examine the discriminant attribute of the driver in order to confirm that the system legitimately entitles the driver to drive the motor vehicle. For this purpose, a device for reading and understanding the chip card possessed by the driver is incorporated in the reading device 3. Such a chip card may be an identification card or a social insurance card in which the driver's discriminant attributes and data elements relating to the car are stored therein. In this case, the inspection operation is to compare the discriminant attribute of the car, which has been read and understood, with the discriminant attribute of each card, and display the result.

Finally, another embodiment of the present invention wirelessly transfers the file 5 of the reading device to a wireless device, as shown in FIG. 5, wherein the system uses the same reference numerals for the same elements as those of FIGS. It is suitable to make it possible to renew periodically. In this embodiment, the reading device is wirelessly connected to the communication center 14 by the transmitting / receiving device accommodated inside the case 23 of the reading device. This system makes it possible to understand reports of changes in the stolen vehicle discrimination attributes and to allow all of the devices 3 to be received regularly throughout the day, thus enabling more efficient inspection.
