The invention is also capable of remote data transmission through an infrared or other link. A housing (16) is designed to communicate with the device installed in the vehicle. The housing (16) can thereby use the memorized data in the fixed chip (2) and the removable chip (3) for the purpose of an administrative check.

Description

Système de contrôle pour véhicule automobile Motor vehicle control system
La présente invention vise un système de contrôle pour véhicule automobile. La nécessité d'un contrôle administratif efficace s'est imposée, notamment avec l'accroissement considérable du parc automobile.The present invention relates to a control system for a motor vehicle. The need for effective administrative control has become apparent, in particular with the considerable increase in the number of vehicles.
La réalisation d'un système de contrôle doit, à la fois, concilier des impératifs de coût et d'efficacité. Le contrôle réglementaire recouvre trois considérations essentielles :The creation of a control system must, at the same time, reconcile imperatives of cost and efficiency. Regulatory control covers three essential considerations:
- le véhicule (constructeur)- the vehicle (manufacturer)
- l'administration (carte grise)- administration (registration card)
- l'assurance du véhicule. Le contrôle réglementaire concerne le conducteur, son habilitation à conduire, l'état du véhicule au vu du contrôle technique, ainsi que l'aspect administratif et juridique : assurance obligatoire, véhicule non volé, etc.. On a vu, ces derniers temps, apparaître différents dispositifs permet- tant d'améliorer le contrôle, par exemple, dans un certain nombre de pays, l'affichage de l'assurance ou du contrôle technique a été imposé.- vehicle insurance. Regulatory control concerns the driver, his driving license, the condition of the vehicle in view of the technical control, as well as the administrative and legal aspect: compulsory insurance, unstolen vehicle, etc. We have seen, in recent times, different devices appear making it possible to improve control, for example, in a certain number of countries, the display of insurance or technical control has been imposed.
Ces nouvelles disposition ont permis quelques progrès, mais la difficulté du contrôle visuel humain associée à la facilité de contrefaçon de document papier, n'ont pas permis à ces nouveaux dispositifs d'opérer un contrôle administratif efficace.These new provisions have allowed some progress, but the difficulty of human visual control associated with the ease of counterfeiting of paper documents, have not allowed these new devices to operate an effective administrative control.
Par ailleurs, en ce qui concerne la lutte contre le vol, on a vu apparaître un certain nombre de systèmes utili- sant l'électronique et la transmission de données, mais les systèmes étudiés à ce jour ne permettent pas un contrôle administratif réellement efficace, d'autant que ces systèmes présentent souvent un niveau de complexité et de coût prohibitif . La présente invention vise un système permettant d remédier aux inconvénients ci-dessus.In addition, with regard to the fight against theft, we have seen the appearance of a certain number of systems using electronics and data transmission, but the systems studied to date do not allow a really effective administrative control, especially since these systems often have a prohibitive level of complexity and cost. The present invention provides a system for overcoming the above drawbacks.
Le système selon l'invention utilise une carte dit "à puce" comprenant deux puces, dont l'une est fixe tandi que l'autre est amovible et peut être ainsi remplacée pa une autre. Une telle carte est décrite dans le brevet françai 2 632 752 du 6 Juin 1988.The system according to the invention uses a so-called "smart" card comprising two chips, one of which is fixed while the other is removable and can thus be replaced by another. Such a card is described in French patent 2,632,752 of June 6, 1988.

Fig. 3 est une vue en perspective d'une variante de la carte à puce.Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a variant of the smart card.
La carte à puce 1 est destinée à être engagée dans un lecteur 4 logé dans le véhicule. Lors de la toute première utilisation, pour permettre l'initialisation du système à l'introduction de la carte 1 dans le lecteur, les données propres au véhicule et les données liées àThe smart card 1 is intended to be engaged in a reader 4 housed in the vehicle. During the very first use, to allow the initialization of the system when the card 1 is introduced into the reader, the data specific to the vehicle and the data linked to
1'assurance sont alors mémorisées dans une mémoire dédiéeInsurance are then stored in a dedicated memory
8 intégrée dans le lecteur. Ces données ainsi mémorisées ne peuvent plus être effacées, à la suite de quoi toute autre carte serait inopérante. f De préférence le lecteur 4 est intégré dans le véhicule à sa construction. Le constructeur aura a mémoriser dans la mémoire 8 dudit lecteur, l'ensemble. de toutes les données et caractéristiques immuables du véhicule. La carte 1 mémorise également l'ensemble des données et caractéristiques dans la puce fixe 2 .8 integrated in the reader. This stored data can no longer be deleted, after which any other card would be inoperative. f Preferably, the reader 4 is integrated into the vehicle during its construction. The manufacturer will have to store in memory 8 of said reader, the assembly. of all immutable data and characteristics of the vehicle. The card 1 also stores all of the data and characteristics in the fixed chip 2.
Lorsque ladite carte 1 est introduite dans le lecteurWhen said card 1 is inserted into the reader
4 , le microprocesseur 6 compare les données mémorisées par le constructeur dans la mémoire 8 et les données mémorisées dans la puce fixe 2 , afin d'en vérifier l'identité. Il est prévu une commande 14 qui, à partir du microprocesseur, commande la coupure de 1'allumage ou de 1'alimentation du moteur du véhicule.4, the microprocessor 6 compares the data stored by the manufacturer in the memory 8 and the data stored in the fixed chip 2, in order to verify its identity. There is an order 14 which, from the microprocessor, controls the shutdown of the ignition or of the vehicle engine power supply.
La carte représente une sécurité antivol supplémentaire; à cet effet, l'utilisateur aura le choix par la pression d'une touche spécifique 13 , de donner 1'ordre au microprocesseur 6 de couper 1'allumage du moteur ou l'alimentation, grâce à la commande 14 , aussi longtemps que la carte 1 n'aura pas été introduite dans le lecteur 4 . Une fois que la carte 1 est dans le lecteur de carte 4 , le microprocesseur intégré 6 dans le lecteur de carte analyse la cohérence entre les données mémorisées dans les deux modules mémoires 2 et 3 :The card represents additional anti-theft security; for this purpose, the user will have the choice by pressing a specific key 13, to give the order to the microprocessor 6 to cut the ignition of the engine or the power supply, by means of the control 14, as long as the card 1 will not have been inserted in reader 4. Once the card 1 is in the card reader 4, the microprocessor integrated 6 in the card reader analyzes the consistency between the data stored in the two memory modules 2 and 3:
- identification des puissances mémorisées dans chaque module,- identification of the powers stored in each module,
- identification des numéros d'immatriculation, etc..- identification of registration numbers, etc.
Ce contrôle est nécessaire et permet de vérifier que la puce amovible 3 fixée sur la carte correspond bien au véhicule, dont les données identifiantes sont mémorisées dans la puce fixe 2 de la carte 1 .This control is necessary and makes it possible to verify that the removable chip 3 fixed on the card corresponds to the vehicle, the identifying data of which are stored in the fixed chip 2 of the card 1.
Le lecteur de carte 4 est également pourvu d'un dispositif de type avertisseur 15 capable d'émettre des signaux lumineux et/ou sonores.The card reader 4 is also provided with an alarm type device 15 capable of emitting light and / or sound signals.
Quand l'assurance dont les paramètres sont mémorisés dans la puce amovible 3 approche la date d'échéance, le dispositif 15 permet de communiquer l'information au conducteur, par exemple, trente jours avant l'échéance un signal lumineux et/ou acoustique permet de prévenir le conducteur de 1'approche de la date limite. Ce signal peut se faire de plus en plus pressant, au fur et à mesure que l'échéance approche, par exemple, l'allumage de plusieurs voyants et audition d'un signal acoustique prédéterminé.When the insurance whose parameters are stored in the removable chip 3 approaches the due date, the device 15 makes it possible to communicate the information to the driver, for example, thirty days before the due date, a light and / or acoustic signal allows warn the driver that the deadline is approaching. This signal can be made more and more pressing, as the deadline approaches, for example, the lighting of several indicators and hearing of a predetermined acoustic signal.
L'ensemble de ces signaux lumineux et sonores a pour but d'inviter le conducteur à acquérir une nouvelle puce 3 afin de remplacer celle dont la validité vient à échéance. Bien entendu, le lecteur 4 de carte à mémoire est pourvu d'une électronique, disposant d'un microprocesseur 6 , d'une horloge 7 et d'un calendrier capable de vérifier les dates d'échéances de la puce (3) .The purpose of all of these light and sound signals is to invite the driver to acquire a new chip 3 in order to replace the one whose validity expires. Of course, the memory card reader 4 is provided with electronics, having a microprocessor 6, a clock 7 and a calendar capable of verifying the due dates of the chip (3).
Le lecteur de carte 4 est pourvu d'un module (12) capable de communiquer avec 1'extérieur par la voie infrarouge, radio, hyperfréquence ou par tout autre support existant.The card reader 4 is provided with a module (12) capable of communicating with the outside by infrared, radio, microwave or any other existing medium.
Le module 12 intègre des éléments émissifs 10 et réceptifs 11 reliés au lecteur de carteet est collé sur le pare-brise ou sur tout autre emplacement convenable.The module 12 includes emissive 10 and receptive 11 elements connected to the card reader and is glued to the windshield or to any other suitable location.
Le module 12 peut avantageusement être placé en haut et au centre du pare-brise et oeuvrer selon un angle solide de l'ordre de 180°*, à cet effet, le pare-brise peut comporter un évidement à sa fabrication, conçu pour recevoir ledit module 12 lors d'une première monte.The module 12 can advantageously be placed at the top and in the center of the windshield and operate at a solid angle of the order of 180 ° * , for this purpose, the windshield may include a recess during its manufacture, designed to receive said module 12 during an initial assembly.
Cette disposition permet au système de pouvoir échanger les données avec une borne 17 située latéralement indifféremment à droite ou a gauche, ou encore en hauteur, dans le cas ou le véhicule a contrôler est transporté sur un camion.This arrangement allows the system to be able to exchange data with a terminal 17 located laterally either to the right or to the left, or even at height, in the case where the vehicle to be checked is transported on a truck.
Par ailleurs, le microprocesseur 6 du lecteur 4 est capable de discriminer deux états :Furthermore, the microprocessor 6 of the reader 4 is capable of discriminating two states:
- état du véhicule en fonctionnement échangeant des données entre le module 12 et la borne 17 , - état du véhicule se déplaçant moteur arrêté et échangeant des données toujours entre le module 12 et la borne 17 ; bien entendu cette dernière configuration indique une anomalie grave (cas d'un véhicule volé et transporté par camion) dans ce cas le vol sera aussitôt déclaré au système.- state of the vehicle in operation exchanging data between the module 12 and the terminal 17, - state of the vehicle moving with the engine stopped and exchanging data always between the module 12 and the terminal 17; of course this last configuration indicates a serious anomaly (case of a vehicle stolen and transported by truck) in this case the theft will be immediately declared to the system.
Des agents de police ou tout service accrédité peuvent disposer d'un appareil portatif 16 capable d'émettre un signal infrarouge hyperfréquence, ou selon tout autre support de communication. Ce signal reçu par le mode 12 , collé sur le pare-brise et relié au lecteurPolice officers or any accredited service may have a portable device 16 capable to emit a microwave infrared signal, or according to any other communication medium. This signal received by mode 12, stuck on the windshield and connected to the reader
4. de carte, est reconnu par l'électronique du boîtier. L'utilisation d'une double technologie peut être adoptée , par exemple, infrarouge et radio, de sorte que si une tentative de masquage des transmissions infrarouge devait être opérée, un signal radio sera émis par la borne 17 et reconnu par un dispositif de réception radio intégré dans le lecteur 4 . Ledit lecteur pourra lui-même être pourvu des moyens capables d'émettre également un signal radio, ce signal peut être un simple signal d'accrochage, de sorte que la présence dudit signal sans échange de données infrarouge indique une anomalie et appelle une vérification, ou encore un signal personnalisé intégrant le numéro d'immatriculation du véhicule.4 . card, is recognized by the electronics of the box. The use of dual technology can be adopted, for example, infrared and radio, so that if an attempt to mask infrared transmissions has to be made, a radio signal will be transmitted by terminal 17 and recognized by a reception device radio integrated in the player 4. Said reader may itself be provided with means capable of also transmitting a radio signal, this signal can be a simple hooking signal, so that the presence of said signal without exchanging infrared data indicates an anomaly and calls for verification, or a personalized signal integrating the vehicle registration number.
Lorsque ledit module 12 en état de veille reçoit ce signal, l'ensemble des données de la carte bi-modules sont émises, grâce aux composants émissifs 10 , vers le boîtier portatif 16 . Les possesseurs de ce boîtier peuvent alors vérifier 1'ensemble des données de la carteWhen said module 12 in the standby state receives this signal, all of the data from the bi-module card are transmitted, thanks to the emissive components 10, to the portable unit 16. The owners of this box can then check all the data on the card
1 , et ainsi confirmer, grâce à un logiciel et une base de données intégrée dans le boîtier portatif 16 , que le véhicule est convenablement assuré, qu'il a satisfait au contrôle technique réglementaire, et qu'il n'est pas frappé d'une quelconque interdiction.1, and thus confirm, using software and a database integrated in the portable box 16, that the vehicle is adequately insured, that it has satisfied the regulatory technical control, and that it is not struck by any prohibition.
Quand un véhicule est reconnu irrégulier (défaut d'assurance, vol), la borne fixe 17 va émettre un signal d'identification vers le module 12 . Ledit signal d'identification sera mémorisé dans la mémoire 8 et réémis lors du passage devant une borne fixe 17 , de sorte qu'un véhicule irrégulier laisse son itinéraire lors de plusieurs passages devant des bornes. Selon une version plus sophistiquée, le boîtier du lecteur 4 de carte à mémoire est pourvu de moyen permettant de provoquer la coupure de l'allumage du moteur et/ou de l'alimentation, grâce à la commande 14 , en cas de non régularisation, vis-à-vis de l'assurance ou de toute autre considération administrative telle que : défaut de contrôle technique, etc. ; bien entendu la coupure de 1'allumage n'est provoquée par le microprocesseur 6 du lecteur de carte à mémoire, qu'après le constat d'une irrégularité majeure, non régularisée, malgré les avertissements lumineux et/ou sonores successifs 15 . Pour des raisons de sécurité évidentes le microprocesseur 6 du boîtier 4 provoquera la coupure de l'allumage du moteur et/ou de l'alimentation uniquement à 1'arrêt complet du véhicule et après un délai raisonnable d'immobilisation. Selon une version non exhaustive de l'invention la carte bi-modules 1 constituée de la puce fixe 2 et de la puce amovible 3 est introduite dans le lecteur de carte 4 , un jeu de connecteurs 5 assure les contacts galvaniques entre les puces 2 et 3 , et 1'électronique du boîtier. Ladite électronique est orchestrée par le microprocesseur 6 cadencé par une horloge 7.. Le microprocesseur gère une mémoire de type EPROM et/ou EEPROM 8 ou équivalent, capable de conserver les données des puces 3 . et 4 , même en 1'absence de carte à puce, et en cas de coupure de l'alimentation électrique. La mémoire 8 _, orchestrée par le microprocesseur 6 est cadencée par l'horloge 7 , mémorise les logiciels nécessaires à remplir les fonctionnalités de l'invention, à savoir : - un logiciel capable de comparer les données des puces 2 et 3 et de vérifier leur correspondance, un gestionnaire de calendrier nécessaire au déclenchement de l'avertisseur 15 lumineux et/ou sonore, en cas où la puce amovible 3 , mémorisant les données assurance, touche à sa fin, - un logiciel capable de décider si la coupure de l'allumage doit être opéré, un logiciel capable d'interpréter les signaux extérieurs infrarouge, radiofréquence et/ou selon tout autre support, issu d'une source externe, tel qu'un boîtier de police 16 ou d'une borne 17 , comme une invitation à émettre les données par le module 12 .When a vehicle is recognized as irregular (insurance fault, theft), the fixed terminal 17 will send an identification signal to the module 12. Said identification signal will be stored in memory 8 and retransmitted when passing in front of a fixed terminal 17, so that an irregular vehicle leaves its route during several passages in front of terminals. According to a more sophisticated version, the housing of the memory card reader 4 is provided with means making it possible to cause the ignition of the engine and / or power supply, thanks to command 14, in the event of non-regularization, vis-à-vis insurance or any other administrative consideration such as: lack of technical control, etc. ; of course, the ignition is cut off by the microprocessor 6 of the memory card reader, only after the observation of a major irregularity, not regularized, despite successive light and / or sound warnings 15. For obvious safety reasons, the microprocessor 6 of the housing 4 will cause the ignition of the engine and / or the power to be cut off only when the vehicle is completely stopped and after a reasonable period of immobilization. According to a non-exhaustive version of the invention, the bi-module card 1 consisting of the fixed chip 2 and the removable chip 3 is introduced into the card reader 4, a set of connectors 5 ensures the galvanic contacts between the chips 2 and 3, and the housing electronics. Said electronics are orchestrated by the microprocessor 6 clocked by a clock 7. The microprocessor manages a memory of EPROM and / or EEPROM 8 or equivalent type, capable of storing the data of the chips 3. and 4, even in the absence of a smart card, and in the event of a power cut. The memory 8 _, orchestrated by the microprocessor 6 is clocked by the clock 7, stores the software necessary to fulfill the functionalities of the invention, namely: - software capable of comparing the data of chips 2 and 3 and of verifying their correspondence, a calendar manager necessary for the triggering of the light and / or sound alarm 15, in the event that the removable chip 3, memorizing the insurance data, is nearing its end, - software capable of deciding whether the ignition cut-off should be operated, software capable of interpreting external infrared, radio frequency and / or any other medium, from an external source, such as a police station 16 or a terminal 17, as an invitation to send the data by module 12.
La borne 17 est connectée à un ordinateur, lui- même relié à un système informatique central, via une liaison téléphonique par voie modem, ledit système gérant une base de données.Terminal 17 is connected to a computer, itself linked to a central computer system, via a telephone link by modem, said system managing a database.
La borne 17 peut être connectée à un système de feux de signalisation tricolores coopérant avec un système de détection de présence. Le système de détection de présence peut être réalisé par une barrière infrarouge ou par un détecteur de passage de roues.Terminal 17 can be connected to a three-color signaling system cooperating with a presence detection system. The presence detection system can be implemented by an infrared barrier or by a wheel arch detector.
Chaque fois qu'un véhicule se présente, il est détecté par le système de détection de présence :Each time a vehicle shows up, it is detected by the presence detection system:
- le feu vert s'éclaire si le véhicule interrogé par la borne 17 a répondu normalement, les données échangées ne laissant apparaître aucun défaut,- the green light comes on if the vehicle interrogated by terminal 17 responded normally, the data exchanged does not reveal any defect,
- le feu orange s'éclaire si le véhicule qui se présente ne répond pas aux signaux de la borne interrogatrice- the orange light comes on if the vehicle which presents itself does not respond to the signals from the interrogating terminal
17 , ou encore si les données échangées signalent un défaut mineur, tel que l'approche de la date d'échéance, de l'assurance ou du contrôle technique,17, or if the data exchanged indicates a minor defect, such as the approach of the due date, insurance or technical control,
- le feu rouge s'éclaire enfin, si une irrégularité grave est détectée, telle que vol, défaut d'assurance, manipulation frauduleuse du dispositif.- the red light finally lights up, if a serious irregularity is detected, such as theft, lack of insurance, fraudulent manipulation of the device.
Le microprocesseur 6 commande un circuit logique câblé 9 qui assure le transfert des informations vers le module d'émission 1C et provenant du module de réception 11 . Le microprocesseur 6 commande également le déclenchement de l'avertisseur lumineux et/ou sonore 15 , quand la puce amovible touche à sa fin.The microprocessor 6 controls a wired logic circuit 9 which transfers information to the transmission module 1C and coming from the reception module 11. The microprocessor 6 also controls the triggering of the light and / or sound alarm 15, when the removable chip comes to an end.
Le microprocesseur 6 déclenche la coupure de l'allumage du moteur et/ou de l'injection quand deux conditions sont réunies :The microprocessor 6 triggers the ignition of the engine and / or the injection when two conditions are met:
- la puce amovible n'a pas été remplacée dans les délais, malgré les avertissements réitérés par l'avertisseur lumineux et/ou sonore 15 , - le véhicule est immobilisé depuis un certain temps (cette mesure permet d'éviter les accidents) .- the removable chip was not replaced on time, despite the warnings reiterated by the warning light and / or sound 15, - the vehicle has been immobilized for a certain time (this measure makes it possible to avoid accidents).
Le microprocesseur 6 peut également couper l'allumage du véhicule, quand il a reçu un signal spécifique infrarouge, ou selon tout autre support, issu d'un boîtier 16 dans les cas d'infractions très graves, ou pour tout autre motif légal au vu de la réglementation en vigueur. Pour cette fonction et afin d'éviter tout abus, les données échangées entre le boîtier 16 des services compétents et le véhicule sont hautement sécurisées selon un cryptage difficilement violable, et/ou par l'émission de code pseudo-aléatoire. Ce code est émis par le module 12 , lequel code sera interprété par 1'électronique du boîtier 16 qui calculera alors un transformé selon un algorithme sophistiqué, lequel transformé sera émis 'en retour par le boîtier 16 vers le module 12 .The microprocessor 6 can also cut off the ignition of the vehicle, when it has received a specific infrared signal, or according to any other medium, coming from a box 16 in the case of very serious infringements, or for any other legal reason in view of the regulations in force. For this function and in order to avoid any abuse, the data exchanged between the box 16 of the competent services and the vehicle are highly secure using encryption that is difficult to violate, and / or by the issuance of pseudo-random code. This code is sent by the module 12, which then code will be interpreted by 1'électronique the housing 16 which will calculate a transformed by a sophisticated algorithm, which will be issued transformed 'back by the housing 16 to the module 12.
Le microprocesseur 6 est capable de vérifierMicroprocessor 6 is able to check
1'authenticité du boîtier 16 en analysant le code aléatoire émis et son transformé. Selon une autre version de l'invention, le véhicule immobilisé par les services de police ou par tout service compétent, par l'émission d'un signal spécifique issu d'un boîtier 16 , peut redémarrer quand l'automobiliste pénalisé, aura acquitté une carte à puce "amende" de valeur convenable, et l'aura glisséedans le lecteur 4 .The authenticity of the box 16 by analyzing the random code transmitted and its transformed. According to another version of the invention, the vehicle immobilized by the police services or by any competent service, by the emission of a specific signal coming from a box 16, can restart when the penalized motorist has acquitted a "fine" smart card of suitable value, and will have swiped it into the reader 4.
Le microprocesseur 6 est capable de reconnaître la carte à puce "amende", d'en vérifier sa juste valeur, de l'invalidité par fusion par exemple, d'un microfusible, et à la suite de quoi le microprocesseur 6 , redonne 1'ordre à la commande 14 de réactiver 1'allumage du moteur et/ou l'injection. La puce fixe 2 dispose d'un espace mémoire réservé à mémoriser les données relatives à l'évolution du véhicule : date des contrôles techniques, réparations à faire, réparations effectuées, accidents importants,The microprocessor 6 is capable of recognizing the “fine” smart card, of verifying its fair value, of invalidity by fusion, for example, of a microfuse, and as a result of which the microprocessor 6, gives the order to control 14 to reactivate the ignition of the engine and / or the injection. The fixed chip 2 has a memory space reserved for memorizing data relating to the evolution of the vehicle: date of technical inspections, repairs to be made, repairs carried out, major accidents,
Ces données pour être enregistrées dans la puce 2 peuvent être transmises à distance, grâce à un boîtier portatif 16 comparable à celui des forces de 1'ordre décrit plus haut, capable d'émettre les données selon un support de communication infrarouge, ou autre, via le module 12 relié au dispositif ou par le biais d'un appareil spécifique, conçu pour mémoriser des données dans la mémoire de la puce 2 .This data, to be recorded in the chip 2, can be transmitted remotely, thanks to a portable box 16 comparable to that of the police described above, capable of transmitting the data according to an infrared or other communication medium, via the module 12 connected to the device or by means of a specific device, designed to store data in the memory of the chip 2.
Accessoirement l'invention peut comporter un clavier 18 , "clé" le conducteur aura à introduire un code confidentiel. L'introduction du code permet le démarrage du véhicule, la non-introduction dudit code, inhibe 1'allumage.Incidentally the invention may include a keyboard 18, "key" the driver will have to enter a confidential code. The introduction of the code allows the vehicle to start, the non-introduction of said code, inhibits ignition.
