System and device for external, authorized control of speed and / or performance parameters of vehicles, machines and autonomous systems by means of physical and / or digital identification means.

Abstract

Device for external control of speed and / or performance parameters, comprising a physical identification means (starter chip card) and / or a digital identification means (app), both of which can be used individually or in combination.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the control of speed and / or performance parameters in moving and stationary machines, in particular in road vehicles, rail vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, agricultural machinery, construction equipment and autonomous and semi-autonomous transport systems. background

[0002] Existing speed control systems (cruise control, adaptive cruise control, intelligent speed assistance) require manual input or rely on camera-based traffic sign recognition, which is prone to errors. A manufacturer-independent, external control instance that sets a defined speed or power limit without making changes to the vehicle or machine architecture is lacking. Description of the invention

[0003] The invention provides a device that is activated exclusively by authorized triggers: 1. Physical identification means - powerless starter chip card with unique identifier, contactless or contact-based (NFC, RFID). 2. Digital identification device - mobile app with authentication, GPS function, speech recognition and / or acoustic announcement in selectable languages. 3. Combination - Card and app together to activate extended functions or security permissions.

[0004] Activation can be done manually (voice command such as "Drive 50") or automatically (GPS data, detection of speed zones, construction sites, traffic jams).

[0005] A visual and / or audible warning is given before changes in speed, in a language of the user's choice.

[0006] The device requires no modifications to the vehicle and can be used regardless of the manufacturer. Advantages -Manufacturer-independent and immediately usable - No structural changes or configuration to the vehicle - Full licensing requirement for every use - Also applicable to rental cars, car sharing, and fleet vehicles - Expandable for machinery, rail, watercraft and aircraft

Claims

[1] Device for external control of speed and / or performance parameters, comprising a physical identification means (starter chip card) and / or a digital identification means (app), both of which can be used individually or in combination. [2] Device according to claim 1, wherein the physical identification means is a powerless memory chip card with a unique identifier that can be read contactlessly (NFC, RFID) and / or contact-based. [3] Device according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the digital identification means is a mobile app comprising GPS data, speech recognition and / or acoustic output. [4] Device according to one of the preceding claims, with voice recognition and authorization only for registered users, wherein unauthorized voices are ignored. [5] Device according to one of the preceding claims which issues acoustic and / or visual warnings in a freely selectable language before changes in speed. [6] Device according to one of the preceding claims, which can be used without modifications to the vehicle or machine architecture. [7] Device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein activation only occurs in the presence of the authorized identification means. [8] Device according to one of the preceding claims, usable in road, rail, water and air vehicles, agricultural machinery, construction machinery and autonomous or semi-autonomous systems. [9] Device according to any of the preceding claims which performs automatic speed adjustment based on GPS position data. [10] System comprising a device according to one of the preceding claims and a mobile terminal, wherein the system is manufacturer-independent and functions without modifications to the vehicle's basic software. [11] Device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein, after successful authorization by a physical identification means (starter chip card) and / or a digital identification means (app), the automatic playback of personalized multimedia content, including music, podcasts or stored audio content, is started. [12] Device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein additional driving-related functions can be triggered via the digital identification means (app) by voice command, including searching for free parking spaces, navigation instructions or retrieving traffic information. [13] Device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the physical reader for the starter chip card is integrated into existing vehicle components such as a car radio, infotainment system or other existing control elements to enable seamless retrofitting even in older vehicles. [14] Device according to one of the preceding claims, usable in older vehicles without factory integration interfaces, wherein activation is carried out exclusively by the starter chip card without requiring any additional vehicle-specific adaptations.
