Definitions
- the present invention relates to vehicle control events, and more particularly to recording vehicle control events.
- black box For aircraft, vehicle control events are recorded and stored in a “black box” that is typically accessed when an accident occurs and is used to determine the cause of the accident.
- the “black box” is an airline cockpit voice data recorder that records verbal events. This type of recording device has been shown to be extremely useful in determining whether operator error or mechanical failure was the cause of the accident.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a device for authenticating and securing control event data in a vehicle in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a flow chart of one embodiment of steps of a method for reliably storing control event data in a vehicle in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a flow chart of one embodiment of steps of a method for authenticating impact data and control event information in a vehicle in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a flow chart of one embodiment of steps of a method for interpreting control event data and impact data in a vehicle in accordance with the present invention.
- the present invention provides a device and method for authenticating and securing event data for a vehicle that may be utilized to analyze the cause of an accident by the police or an insurance agency to aid in their determination as to which driver was at fault, or alternatively, the failure of a vehicle electromechanical system.
- the method and device may also be utilized to determine whether a false insurance claim has been made.
- Authenticating event data is defined as ensuring that genuine event data is being recorded by comparing the time stamps on microcontroller data and microprocessor data.
- Securing event data as used herein, is defined as limiting access to the stored authenticated event data to certain predetermined agencies. Authenticating and securing the event data provides tamper-proof information about the chronological history of control events.
- the present invention records all control events initiated by a driver and a plurality of data with respect to external agents.
- Data with respect to external agents may include, for example, the force of impact on an external surface of the vehicle body in a crash.
- Control event data is typically stored in a memory device by a microcontroller and a microprocessor (See FIGS. 2 and 3 .).
- the microcontroller tracks predetermined inputs generated by control events such as turning on a hazard light or engaging a gear in reverse; the microprocessor maintains a record of the relationships between the driver's actions and those feedbacks generated by transducers measuring forces resulting from impacts (for example, impacts on bumpers, panels, doors, activation of airbags, etc. on impact in an accident).
- Data is stored on a first-in-first-out basis. If no impact occurs within a predetermined time period that is selected to maintain data storage within the limits of the memory, previous control information and data are simply overwritten. Alternatively, initialization of memory (i.e., deletion of stored data) may be initiated by an authorized user. An authorized user is typically a member of an insurance agency or the like. In case of impact, the memory record is secured in the memory device either automatically on registering the impact or, if the option is permitted, may be secured manually by the driver.
- the events recorded by the microcontroller are “signed” by the microcontroller, i.e., include a time stamp and pre-determined identification value/values to ensure that the recorded events were produced during the operation of the specific vehicle.
- data provides information for the microprocessor to compare with its own signed data to determine whether the microcontroller data is genuine.
- one predetermined identification value is a vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle being driven.
- VIN vehicle identification number
- Event information includes data with respect to impacting transducers and control event information and any other predetermined data collected.
- the vehicle may also support a recognition mechanism and a driver preference mechanism that allows determination of who was driving the vehicle during the signed period.
- the microprocessor has its own time stamp mechanism that is associated with the external impact sensors. The combination of the event recording and the impact sensing time stamps may be used to certify that the events were recorded at the time of the accident.
- the secured record of events is then securely accessible to agencies like automobile insurance agencies or police agencies.
- the agencies may then analyze the data by securely accessing the memory device, retrieving and interpreting the secure records. Since only the insurance agencies and the police agencies will have access to the secure records, the accident claims may be monitored securely.
- the police agencies may use the secure event data to determine the cause of the accident and identify the party at fault.
- Information stored on the memory device includes a dual record with a time phase difference to produce records overlapping by a predetermined amount. In this way when the first record is being erased, and an accident occurs at the same time, the initial portion of the out-of-phase record is still available. A cumulative record is not generally possible since an unlimited amount of memory would be required, and a large portion of the record prior to an impact would typically not be helpful.
- the event data is only accessed securely, using encryption and public key cryptography.
- the access mechanism may be implemented using a smart card.
- a smart card may be used as a mechanism to store the certified data that can be removed from the vehicle to be further processed remotely.
- the smart card acts as a standardized, modular, portable/removable device of convenience to the accessing authorized agencies.
- a smart card contains a certifiable key only known to the authorized agencies that can be authenticated by the microprocessor against public keys for those authorized agencies.
- a secure mechanism may include deliberately setting the microprocessor time clock out of phase with the microcontroller time clock at a predetermined interval. That out of phase value is known only to the system setting of the microprocessor.
- the event record may be transmitted to a remote location (e.g., insurance agencies and police agencies) by use of a cellular phone or similar radio by sending out the event data utilizing a secure method.
- a remote location e.g., insurance agencies and police agencies
- the microprocessor can be programmed to call an authorized agency databank which will provide certifiable keys only known to the authorized agency that can be authenticated by the microprocessor against public keys for selected authorized agencies. Secure protocol can be used to prevent unauthorized reception of the event record.
- the components of the present invention may be embodied as a contacted/contactless smartcard module that is readable through a smart card reader.
- the components may be embedded in the electronics of an automobile.
- the components may be embodied as a unified device, a combination of a microcontroller and a microprocessor module in a single integrated circuit integrated with both input/output and memory components.
- the microcontroller 104 and the micro- processor 108 can be thought of as a processing system.
- a third alternative uses a secure memory and a software program that enables use of existing microelectronics in the vehicle. The software functions in accrodance accordance with the method described below in FIG. 2 .
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a device for authenticating and securing control event data in a vehicle in accordance with the present invention.
- the device includes: A) a microcontroller, coupled to receive control event information, for attaching a first time stamp and vehicle identification number VIN to the control event information to provide first information and sending the first information to memory in time overlap fashion; B) the memory, coupled to the microcontroller and a microprocessor, for storing first information and second information in time overlap fashion; and C) the microprocessor, coupled to the memory and a plurality of transducers, for determining whether received impact data varies from previous impact data, and where received impact data varies, adding a second time stamp and VIN to the received impact data to form second information.
- the device typically also includes an auto-lock unit coupled to the microprocessor for sending a signal to the memory to lock the first information and the second information in unchangeable form, or alternatively, a manual lock for sending a signal to the memory to lock the first information and the second information in unchangeable form.
- an auto-lock unit coupled to the microprocessor for sending a signal to the memory to lock the first information and the second information in unchangeable form, or alternatively, a manual lock for sending a signal to the memory to lock the first information and the second information in unchangeable form.
- FIG. 2 is a flow chart of one embodiment of steps of a method for reliably storing control event data in a vehicle in accordance with the present invention.
- the method includes the steps of: A) sending control event information and optional data to a microcontroller; B) attaching, by the microcontroller, a first time stamp and vehicle identification number VIN to the control event information and optional data to provide first information and sending the first information to a memory; C) storing the first information in a list in the memory in time overlap T′, T′′ fashion; D) determining whether a predetermined time has elapsed, and where the predetermined time in unelapsed, determining whether a transducer has encountered an impact; E) where the predetermined time has elapsed, sending instructions to the memory to start a new list in overlap fashion and erasing a T′ list; F) determining whether to end the list; G) where the list is to be ended, ending and preserving the list; H) where the list fails to be ended, returning to step A;
- Control event information is generated as a result of actions by the driver.
- Control event information may include acceleration/deceleration information, braking information, hazard light initiation, air bag deployment, turn signal initiation, reverse gear implementation, parking gear initiation, hand brake initiation and the like.
- the VIN may be optional data sent to the microcontroller by the vehicle. Alternatively, the VIN number may already reside in the microcontroller. Other optional data may include, for example, a personal identification number that identifies the driver of the vehicle.
- Storing first information in a list in memory in time overlap fashion means storing another list out of phase with the first list by a predetermined time.
- Synchronicity of time stamp one and time stamp two may be determined by utilizing a preset value of time stamp in the microprocessor in a predetermined value so that the preselected synchronization difference is not known to an unauthorized person or device.
- FIG. 3 is a flow chart of one embodiment of steps of a method for interpreting control event data and impact data in a vehicle in accordance with the present invention.
- the method includes the steps of: A) determining whether access is authorized to stored impact data with time stamp two and control event information and data with time stamp one in the vehicle; B) where access is unauthorized, denying access; C) where access is authorized, obtaining impact data with time stamp two and control event information and data with time stamp one and interpreting the impact data with time stamp two and control event information and data with time stamp one to provide an analysis of the accident.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of a time line for generation and maintenance of control event information and optional data lists in the memory in accordance with the present invention.
- a list showing the start of an initial control event
- a list is started.
- a second list is started.
- a third list is started, at which time the list 1 is erased. This process is repeated until control event information and data generation is ended as shown in FIG. 2 .
- control event information and data generation When control event information and data generation is ended, the control event information and data is preserved.
- the time is T i .
- the data ( 402 ) between time T 2 and T i in list 2 and data between T 3 and T i in list 3 is preserved and saved in memory.
