Abstract

The method involves using radio telephones involving either the C or D1/D2 network. When a vehicle equipped with the system is missed an area call is made to an allocated number, e.g. by the police. The response signal from a unit in the vehicle is detected by the nearest base station to it. The base station relays the signal to the central station. The areas in which the vehicle is located are tracked and eventually the direction of travel of the vehicle is determined. Measures are taken to make the vehicle's receiver/transmitter unit difficult for thieves to locate and disable. USE/ADVANTAGE - Provides protection against car thieves at reduced cost compared to similar systems.

Description

Da gegenwärtig Diebstahlschutzmaßnahmen für PKW keine hundertprozentige Sicherheit garantieren, sowie die Aufklär­ ungsquote von Autodiebstählen zu gering ist,soll die hier beschriebene Methode, vor allem bei teueren Objekten Abhilfe schaffen. Dadurch sollen die Kosten der Versicherungen ge­ senkt, die Quote an, in dieser Richtung gelagerter Eigentums­ delikte reduziert werden, als auch die Arbeit der Polizei- und Zolldienststellen erleichtert werden. Die Kosten für dieses System scheinen, im Vergleich zu oben genannten Punk­ ten, noch rentabel zu sein.Since there are currently no anti-theft measures for cars guarantee 100% security, as well as the reconnaissance car theft rate is too low, this is supposed to described method, especially for expensive objects create. This should reduce the cost of insurance lowers the quota of property stored in this direction crimes are reduced, as is the work of the police and customs offices are facilitated. The price for this system seem punk compared to the above ten still to be profitable.

Das Prinzip dieser Methode basiert auf der Technologie des des Funktelephones, je nach aktuell technisch/rechtlichen Stand der des C oder des D1/D2 Netzes.The principle of this method is based on the technology of the of the radio telephone, depending on the current technical / legal Status of the C or D1 / D2 network.

Nach dem unerklärten Verschwinden eines Kraftfahrzeuges, welches mit dieser Technik ausgestattet wurde, die hier be­ schrieben wird, und der folgendem Anzeige bei Polizei und Versicherung, wird durch den Anruf einer zugeteilten Nummer des jeweiligen Netzes, ein flächendeckendes Signal ausge­ sandt. Der Anruf kann von der Polizei, der Versicherung oder aus Datenschutzgründen vorn Fahrzeughalter selbst getätigt werden und gleicht dem eines normalen Versuchs zur Kontakt­ aufnahme mit einem Funktelephonteilnehmer. Nur jetzt wird im als gestohlen gemeldeten PKW durch den Empfang und der De­ codierung des Rufsignales, ein auf der Frequenz des Rück­ rufes abgesandtes Signal ausgelöst. Dieses wird von der je­ weils nächsten Sende-/Empfangsstation des Telephonnetzes aufgenommen und an die Zentrale weitergeleitet. Dadurch läßt sich der ungefähre Aufenthaltkreis, der der Sende­ station, sowie die eventuelle Fortbewegungsrichtung fest­ stellen.After the unexplained disappearance of a motor vehicle, which was equipped with this technology, which be here is written, and the following notification to the police and Insurance is provided by calling an assigned number of the respective network, a comprehensive signal out sends. The call can be made by the police, insurance or made for the privacy of the vehicle owner himself and is like a normal attempt at contact Recording with a radio telephone subscriber. Only now is in reported as stolen car by the reception and the De coding of the call signal, one on the frequency of the return Called signal triggered. This will depend on the because the next transmitting / receiving station of the telephone network recorded and forwarded to the headquarters. Thereby the approximate circle of residence, the sender station, as well as the possible direction of travel put.

Nun kann, im festgehaltenen Gebiet, ein mit Peilvorrich­ tungen ausgestattetes Fahrzeug, Hubschrauber oder ähnliches Gerät die Suche nach dem Diebesgut beginnen. Dies geschieht durch Anpeilen des zuvor in Bereitschaft versetzten Rück­ rufsignales.Now, in the recorded area, one with a bearing device equipped vehicle, helicopter or the like The search for the stolen goods begins. this happens by targeting the previously set back call signals.

An den Übergängen der Landesgrenzen könnten schwächere, stationäre oder örtlich flexible Sender die Nummern ver­ mißter Fahrzeuge absenden und eine Kontrolle verdächtiger PKW ermöglichen. At the border crossings, weaker, stationary or locally flexible transmitters ver the numbers send missing vehicles and a suspect control Enable cars.  

Um eine Auffindung und Entschärfung der Sende-/Empfangsan­ lage zu verhindern oder mit größtmöglichem zeitlichen und materiellem Aufwand zu gestatten, werden folgende Schritte benötigtTo find and defuse the send / receive address to prevent or with the greatest possible time and To allow material effort, the following steps needed

  • - Bau der technischen Einheit mit kleinstmöglichen Abmes­ sungen- Construction of the technical unit with the smallest possible dimensions sung
  • - eigene Stromversorgung durch Akkumulatoren für nötigen Verbrauch, vor allem bei der Sendeleistung- Own power supply by batteries for necessary Consumption, especially with the transmission power
  • - Pufferung des Netzes durch Anzapfen eines günstig liegen­ den Punktes des PKW-Bordnetzes- Buffering the network by tapping a conveniently the point of the car electrical system
  • - individueller Einbau bei jedem Kraftfahrzeug,um ein schnel­ les Auffinden zu verhindern bzw. zu erschweren- Individual installation in every motor vehicle to a quick to prevent or complicate the finding
  • - wenn möglich Integration in elektronische Systeme des Pkw- If possible, integration into electronic systems of the car
  • - nötige Antenne sollte ihren Platz in Stoßfängern, Spoilern, Tür-, Fenstergummis, Dachrecycling und oder ähnlichen finden- necessary antenna should be placed in bumpers, spoilers, Find door, window rubbers, roof recycling and the like
  • - Absenden eines kurzen, zum Empfang und Peilung längstnöti­ gen Signales, um ein Erfassen am Fahrzeug selbst zu verhin­ dern.- Submit a short, for receiving and bearing long ago signals to prevent detection on the vehicle itself other.
