The invention concerns a security system specially developed for the parked vehicles, being capable to detect and evaluate any insecure situations regarding the vehicle after it is parked and to inform the vehicle owner visually about such situations via GSM network (featuring 3 - 4G GSM).
Prior Art The park status systems developed for the vehicles include, for example, configuration capable to send information about the alarm condition to the smart phone. In case of any situations posing a threat for security of the parked vehicle, the system sends alarm message to the mobile phone of the vehicle owner to inform about the security-related situation. Possibility of establishing short-distance connection is already known.
In case of such call, only alarm warning is given, without any video message about the vehicle (photo and video) or any information about location, inclination and outer shell (vehicle body).
In another system, information is given about the condition of the parked vehicle via a GSM module on board the vehicle. Here the information includes vehicle internal temperature, doors open?, Doors closed?, Charge Status (particularly for new generation vehicles), tyre air pressure etc.
Another system is a configuration called remote control featuring functions such as checking the internal air temperature of the vehicle (increasing/reducing temperature), starting the engine, heating the seats, etc.
An integrated anti-theft alarm system inside the vehicle which is capable to detect movements can be cited as another application. The system engages and activates the alarm in case of any unauthorized entry into the vehicle.
And another application is in-car camera-recorder which allows, when required, retrieval of the camera recordings from the memory to watch. In the said configuration, the camera recordings are, when required, retrieved from the memory
l and watched and the camera-recorders are not of such type to allow video call. This system is particularly used on board the public transportation vehicles.
The configurations mentioned above prove to be insufficient in the following situations and cases. - When another moving object bumps at the vehicle and runs away, it does not inform the vehicle owner via mobile phone about the event.
- Photos of the moving object bumping at the vehicle are not taken and saved.
- When any outer components of the vehicle body are scratched, it is mostly difficult to identify who did it. Understanding the event and identification of the person (s) involved with it is possible only if there were witness people or security cameras around.
- In case of any person approaching the vehicle, potentially for theft, the system is not capable to inform the vehicle owner about the situation from long distances.
- It does not have any function that activates in case of attempted theft, recording inside and outside the vehicle visually (by camera-recording).
- It does not have any function to inform the vehicle owner when the vehicle is towed or lifted up.
- It does not inform the vehicle owner in form of written message about any damage to which the vehicle is subject.
- These systems are designed for deterrence by audio warning (alarm) for security of the vehicle in close distances.
- For long distances, they are not capable to instantly inform the vehicle owner about the vehicle condition via mobile phone, do not allow viewing things around the vehicle by means of camera-recorders, do not send short message about the vehicle condition, do not call an alternative person for security purpose in case the vehicle owner is not accessible and do not direct to the security center.
The disadvantages mentioned above are summarized conditions which represent conditions that may arise when and after the said systems are installed and used in such position as the present invention is designed to be installed and used. These systems which are proved to be inappropriate in the cases for which the invention is designed are systems that you may easily have access to information about them, and they exclude systems beyond the scope of the researches and about which no information has been obtained. Deficiencies and disadvantages of the product models of the existing system with its disadvantages clearly described above are considered as deficiencies which require making improvements to remove the deficiencies and eliminate the disadvantages.

It sends status identification message - camera recordings (19) to the mobile communication device (51). It transfers 3-4G based video transfer online (20). It saves (21) in the recording memory (52) the data on alarms given and recordings made by the camera-recorders (11).
System operates in accordance with the operation process shown in the flow diagram ( (Figure 1/A) - (Figure 1/B) ). These operations and operation process are performed by a system-specific program and the central processing unit (CPU) (1) with its connections that executes the program (Figure 2). Thus the target outputs (17) (results) are obtained as a result of the operation of the central processing unit (CPU) (1) and the peripheral components connected to the said unit (1) Figure 2) and other components connected to the system in accordance with the program (Algorithm) (Figure 2).
Detailed - Comprehensive Description of the System by using the Flow Diagram (Figure 1/A) - (Figure 1/B) and System Architecture Diagram
(Figure 2): System starts to operate by the instruction Start (26), (Figure 1/A ). The central processing unit (CPU) (1) receives information about the vehicle (54) (Vehicle stops- moves) (3) and central locking system information (Active - Passive) (4) from the vehicle central processing unit (2). The data are converted by the communication unit (7) from the language of the vehicle central processing unit (2) to the language of the system central processing unit (CPU) (1) and then transmitted (Figure 2).
Vehicle stops - moves information (3) (Figure 2) is the first data used and inquired by the system (Figure 1/A ). It is consisted of the data on rpm, movement data (speed), hand brake information and shift status of the vehicle (54). That the vehicle (54) stops, but has the movement potential is determined on basis of data such as engine revolution ( 0...1000 RPM ), speed (0 km), hand brake engaged, shift status (P-N- Neutral) /, engine revolution ( 0...1000 RPM ), speed (0 km), hand brake disengaged, shift status (D, 1, etc.) and foot brake engage or another different combinations of data. That the vehicle (54) stops, but does not have movement potential is determined on basis of data such as engine revolution (0 RPM), speed (0 km), hand brake engaged, shift status (P-N-, Neutral) /, engine revolution (0 RPM), speed (0 km), hand brake engaged, shift status (P-N-D,l, 2, 3, 4, etc.) or another different combinations of data.
Vehicle moves information in the Vehicle stops - moves information (3): It is consisted of engine revolution ( 0 - 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000 RPM), speed ( 0 - 100, 200... Km ), hand brake disengaged, shift status ( D, S, L, 2, 3, 4... / 1,2 for manual vehicle) or different combinations of data.
The first data used by the system to determine the movement status of the vehicle (54) is the data on engine revolution and speed (km - mile). If the central processing unit (CPU) (1) receives any data indicating that the vehicle (54) stops, the system will proceed to the next step of operation (Figure 1/A).
After the central processing unit (CPU) (1) controls the vehicle moves information (27), the system proceeds to the control of the central locking system (Active - Passive) information (4) of the vehicle (54) (28) (Figure 1/A). The combination (4) of Vehicle moves information (3) and central locking system disabled (passive) (4) puts the system in sleep mode. If the vehicle (54) stops, but the central locking system (passive) is disabled, then the central processing unit (CPU) (1) returns the system operation to the original point. Then the system proceeds its operation by Start instruction (26) (Figure 1/A). After the central processing unit (CPU) (1) controls the vehicle movement information (27), it controls the central locking system (Active - Passive) (4) information (4) (28), (Figure 1/A). The combination of Vehicle stops information (3) and central locking system enabled (active) (4) releases the system from the sleep mode.
The system proceeds to the next operation. The system performs the following controls: Vehicle GPS location identified? -Vehicle inclination measured? -Modem signal level measured? (29). As the said measurements (29) were not made when the vehicle (54) has been just parked, the system performs these operations (29). It receives GPS location information and clinometer (12) data and saves in the system (30) (Figure 1/A). And then the system proceeds to the next operation.
It measures 3 - 4G modem signal level (31). If the signal level is lower than the signal level predefined in the system as a result of measurement of 3 - 4G modem signal level (31), it notifies to the predefined mobile communication device(s) (51) by audible warning preferably (31) (Figure 1/A). If the said modem signal level is at and/or above the predefined level in the system, no audible notification is made. The system activates the movement detectors (32) and proceeds to the next operation (Figure 1/A). It activates the external movement detectors (radars) (10) (32) (Figure 1/A). And the system proceeds to the next operation. It starts scan operation (33) around the vehicle (54) externally in the predefined scan area (50) (Figure 1/A), (Figure 5). If the system identifies a moving object (49) in the predefined scan area (50) (Figure 6), it proceeds to the next operation.
It executes the Activate the camera-recorders - Start peripheral camera recording (37) during which it records in the memory the video information about the predefined scan area (50) around the vehicle (54) externally obtained from the camera-recorder(s) (11) it activated in the area where any movement is detected (Figure 1/B) and the system proceeds to the next operation.
It controls the sensor data (from External movement detectors (Radars) (10), Clinometer (12), impact sensor (13), contact sensors (14), elevation sensors (15)) transmitted by the external data components (8) to the central processing unit (CPU) (1) via the inputs (16), compares the vehicle GPS location data (6) and controls the vehicle alarm information (5) (38) (Figure 1/B). It controls and compares the reference data (6) obtained from the clinometer (12) and GPS at time of parking the vehicle (54) and the clinometer (12), vehicle GPS location data (6) at the time of comparison (38) (Figure 1/B). If it receives alarm from any one, all and/or any one of the said sensors ((10), (12), (13), (14), (15)) and/or from any combination of sensors and if both and/or either GPS location data (6) and/or clinometer (12) data obtained at time of parking the vehicle (54) differs from the reference data, the system proceeds to the next operation (Figure 1/B).
It controls possibility of connection with GSM number of the mobile communication device (51) predefined in the program memory (24) of the system (41) (Figure 1/B). If connection can be established with GSM number of the mobile communication device (51) predefined in the program memory (24), the system proceeds to the next operation (Figure 1/B).
It starts 3-4G video call between the mobile communication device (51) and system (43) (Figure 1/B). And it proceeds to the next operation.
The system controls whether the video call request sent to GSM number of the mobile communication device (51) predefined in the program memory (24) is accepted or not (44) (Figure 1/B).
If it is accepted, it executes the next operation, i.e., Send status identification message and camera recordings (45) (Figure 1/B).
If it is not accepted, then it switches to the operation process Call the predefined numbers in order, Continue camera recording, Control connection, and Send e-mail (42) (Figure 1/B).
It starts to call GSM numbers predefined in the system. And it control whether connection is available with the first GSM number it may reach (41) (Figure 1/B).
If connection is established, then it starts 3 - 4G one-way video call request (43) (Figure 1/B). It controls whether the video call request sent is accepted or not (44) (Figure 1/B). If it is accepted, the system proceeds to the next operation.
It sends the written status message containing data received from the sensors (Clinometer (12), impact sensor (13), contact sensors (14), elevation sensors (15), comparison of GPS data (6), vehicle alarm information (5)) (37) (Figure 1/B ) as well as the video data from the camera recordings to the mobile communication device (45). And then it proceeds to the next operation (Figure 1/B).
As long as GSM number predefined in the program memory (24) does not terminate the communication, the system executes the instruction Keep the communication open (46) (Figure 1/B). And it proceeds to the next operation. It controls whether the established video call connection continues or not (47) (Figure 1/B). If the connection continues, it continues to operate by the instruction Keep the connection open (46) as long as it is not disconnected by the predefined number (Figure 1/B). If, during the control whether the communication continues (47), connection is terminated with GSM number of the mobile communication device (51) with which the video call connection was established, the system proceeds to the next operation.
It executes the instruction Return to the start (26). And the system operation returns to the start and then starts operation by the Start (26) instruction. (Figure 1/A), (Figure 1/B)
It evaluates the data it receives via the communication unit (7) from the vehicle central processing unit (2) and external data components (8) in accordance with the algorithm saved in the program memory (24) and gives decision basing on its algorithm and executes the following procedures in its algorithm (Figure 1/A), (Figure 1/B):
- Vehicle stops? (27) control procedure,
- Vehicle locking information control (28),
- Vehicle GPS location - Vehicle inclination - Specificity control of the modem signal level (29), - Determine and save in the system the vehicle GPS location - Vehicle inclination- (30),
- Measure 3 - 4G modem signal level- Warn if the signal is weak (31),
- Activate the external movement detectors (32),
- Any movement in the predefined scan area? (33) control procedure, - Clinometer data available? (34) control procedure,
- Ship mode confirmed? (35) control procedure,
- Confirm ship mode (36) confirmation procedure,
- Activate the camera-recorders - Start peripheral camera recording (37) operation,
- Sensor alarm control, vehicle GPS location control - Alarm control (38), - Movement detection duration start operation (39),
- Defined duration status control (40),
- Control for availability of connection with the predefined number (41),
- Call of the predefined numbers in order, continuity of the camera recording, control of the connection, sending e-mail (42),
- Execution of Start 3 - 4G one-way video call (43) instruction,
- Control whether the call is accepted or not (44),
- Sending status identification message and camera recordings (45),
- Keeping communication open as long as the predefined number does not terminate the call (46),
- Control whether communication continues or not (47) in such a sequence as it configures basing on the data obtained related to the situation and the results derived from evaluation of the said data as long as the vehicle (54) remains in park status. In the control procedure of vehicle GPS location - Vehicle inclination - Modem signal level is certain? (29) (Figure 1/A);
After the vehicle (54) is put in the parked mode, the central processing unit (CPU) (1) starts to execute the operation steps in its algorithm by the Start (26) instruction. (Figure 1/A). The vehicle GPS location - Vehicle inclination of the vehicle (54) at the first moment of marking - is measured and saved in the system (30) (Figure 1/A). Modem signal level is measured (31) and if the measured signal value is at and/or above the level predefined in the system, no audible alarm is given. If the said signal measuring result (31) is below the predefined signal level, audible alarm is given (31) (Figure 1/A). The system makes comparisons by referring to the first measurements. Each time the system is at the Start (26) instruction (Figure 1/A), the instruction it executes after control procedures of Vehicle stops? - central lock enabled (28) is the instruction of vehicle GPS location - ehicle inclination identified? Modem signal level measured? (29) (Figure 1/A). This operation is performed to prevent measuring and saving the vehicle GPS location data -vehicle inclination - (30) again and again. In the control procedure of Ship mode confirmed? (35) (Figure 1/B), the central processing unit (CPU) (1) executes Ship mode confirmed? (35) instruction prior to the operation step Confirm ship mode (36) (Figure 1/B). If the ship mode was confirmed previously, the central processing unit (CPU) (1) returns the system operation back to the starting point (Figure 1/B) and continues its operations by Start (26) instruction (Figure 1/A).
If the ship mode was not confirmed previously, the central processing unit (CPU) (1) proceeds to the next operation step. It executes Confirm ship mode (36) instruction (Figure 1/B).
If the vehicle (54) is carried by ship, vessel and similar watercraft, this operation prevents sending the confirmation message Confirm ship mode (36) to the system- predefined user repetitively on basis of the ever-changing vehicle (54) inclination and clinometer (12) data related to such change of inclination. It ensures the system to find out whether the vehicle (54) was disembarked from the ship and/or vessel.
In the operation for verification (confirmation) of the ship mode (36) (Figure 1/B);
After the movement detectors (10) are activated by the central processing unit (CPU) (1) to scan the predefined scan area (50) (32) (Figure 1/A); If the movement detectors (10) do not identify any moving object (49) within the predefined scan area (50) (Figure 1/A), (Figure 5), the central processing unit (CPU) (1) controls clinometer (12) data (34) (Figure 1/B).
If the clinometer (12) data have not changed, the central processing unit (CPU) (1) returns the system operation back to the Start operation step (26) (Figure 1/B). It makes the system start from the Start operation step (26) again (Figure 1/A).
After the central processing unit (CPU) (1) activates (32) the movement detectors (10) to scan the predefined scan area (50) (Figure 1/A); if the movement detectors (10) do not detect any moving object (49) in the predefined scan area (50) (Figure 5), the central processing unit (CPU) (1) controls the data from the clinometer (12) (34) (Figure 1/B).
If the clinometer (12) data changed and/or are changing, the central processing unit (CPU) (1) proceeds to the next operation step. It controls ship mode confirmation status (35) (Figure 1/B).
If it finds out that the ship mode has been confirmed previously, it returns back to Start (26) operation step (Figure 1/B). It continues its operations by Start (26) instruction (Figure 1/A). If the system finds out that the ship mode was not confirmed when it controls (35) the ship mode confirmation status, it proceeds to the next operation step. It sends confirmation message, Confirm the ship mode, to GSM number of the mobile communication device (51) predefined and saved in the system (36) (Figure 1/B). If the choice received by the system from the mobile communication device (51) is YES, the central processing unit (CPU) (1) returns the system operation back to the Start (26) operation step (Figure 1/B). It continues system operation by the Start (26) instruction (Figure 1/A).
After the central processing unit (CPU) (1) executes Start (26) instruction and activates the movement detectors (10) to scan the predefined scan area (50), if the movement detectors (10) do not detect any moving object (49) in the predefined scan area (50), the central processing unit (CPU) (1) control the date received from the clinometer(s) (12) (34) (Figure 1/B).
If the clinometer (12) data changed and/or are changing, the central processing unit (CPU) (1) sends (36) confirmation message, Confirm the ship mode, to GSM number of he mobile communication device (51) predefined and saved in the system (Figure 1/B).
If the confirmation message choice received by system from the mobile communication device (51) is NO, the central processing unit (CPU) (1) executes Activate the Camera-recorders - Start peripheral camera recording (37) (Figure 1/B). The central processing unit (CPU) (1) receives the data sent by the vehicle central processing unit (2) via communication unit (7) and the data sent by the external data components (8) via inputs (16); evaluates the said data according to its algorithm saved in the program memory (24) and, after Activate camera-recorders - Start peripheral camera recording (37) instruction, executes the following procedures in its algorithm (Figure 1/B):

- Sending status identification message and camera recordings (45),
- Keeping communication open as long as the predefined number does not terminate the call (46), - Control whether communication continues or not (47),
- Sending status identification message and return of the procedure to back to the start operation step (48) in such a sequence as it configures basing on the data relate to the situation and the results derived from evaluation of the said data as long as the vehicle (54) remains in parked status. In case the vehicle (54) is carried by watercraft, the system continues its operations after the ship mode is confirmed (36). It continues to perform its operations when the vehicle (54) is carried on board the ship, vessel, etc. If it detects any moving object (49) within the predefined scan area (50) of the vehicle (54) during these operations, it executes the following instructions: Activate the camera-recorder - Start peripheral camera recording (37)
Sensor alarm control, Clinometer (12), Elevation (15), Impact (13), Contact (14) sensors give alarm? Vehicle GPS location data is certain? Alarm warning? (38) (Figure 1/B).
In the said control (38), it determines whether there is any difference in the clinometer (12) data and any change in the vehicle GPS location data (6). However, during the procedures after confirmation of the ship mode (36), the system filters the said data until the vehicle (54) disembarks from the ship and/or vessel and it is not considered as a risk for the vehicle (54). It takes into consideration the other sensor data (15), (13), (14) and alarm warnings. In the procedure Start Movement Detection Duration (39) (Figure 1/B);
The central processing unit (CPU) (1) activates the movement detectors (32) (Figure 1/A). It scans to find out any moving object (49) in the predefined scan area (50).

And the system keeps activated the camera-recorder(s) (11) that can display the moving object (49) entering into the scan area (50) and it saves (21) the image(s) in the recording memory (Figure 7/D) until the moving object (49) leaves the scan area (50) (Figure 2).
If the moving object (49) identified in the predefined scan area (50) has left the scan area (50) before the movement detection duration is over;
It returns to the Start (26) operation step of the system. The camera-recording (11) is stopped. And the central processing unit (CPU) (1) continues its operations according to its algorithm by the Start (26) operation instruction (Figure 1/A).
