Description

1 TARIFF RADAR-BASED AUTOMATIC RELOCKING SYSTEM Technical Area This invention enables the remote unlocking of a vehicle and the opening of a vehicle door for storing items. If the vehicle is unlocked and not locked again, a radar-based scan will be performed inside the vehicle. If no living being is detected in the vehicle after this procedure, the vehicle doors will automatically close. It is related to a system that allows it to be locked. Previous Technique In modern vehicles, when the central locking system is activated but no door is opened, the central locking system... The lock is relocked after a certain period of time. If any of the doors If someone opens the door, the doors will not lock unless the user locks them. Especially 15 The user opens the vehicle door solely to place items inside, and then puts their belongings in the vehicle. If someone forgets to lock their car after parking it, this situation can affect the car and its contents. This poses a risk in terms of the safety of the items found. Therefore, remote unlocking of the vehicle and opening the vehicle door for storing items is possible. If the vehicle is unlocked and not locked again, a radar-based scan will be performed inside the vehicle. If no living being is detected in the vehicle after this procedure, the vehicle doors will automatically close. It appears that a system is needed that allows it to be locked in place. German patent number DE102012022797A1 25 in the known state of the art in the document, the in-vehicle occupant detection system and automatic door lock control It is mentioned that the invention that is the subject of the patent document is a vehicle. It provides a method for operating the locking mechanism with a control device and Used for keyless entry systems. The vehicle is connected to the control device and an authorized person... 30 to activate the locking mechanism by recognizing the person (especially the driver). It features a specially designed electrical sensor device. The method works by checking when the vehicle's ignition is on. 2 It begins with determining whether it is on or off. While the ignition is off and the sensor... When the device is operated by an authorized person, an operation signal is sent to the control device. This information is transmitted and the locking mechanism is activated. It also confirms the presence of the person inside the vehicle. A control test is performed and the result is evaluated by the control device. If If there is no one in the vehicle, the sensor device is activated and the locking mechanism, 5 It operates regardless of the ignition status. This method involves the doors inside the vehicle. from various data such as seatbelt, key presence, seat sensor or camera By using this information, we can verify the person's existence and take action based on the verification result. does. Brief Description of the Invention The purpose of this invention is to enable remote unlocking of vehicle locks and vehicle storage areas. If the door is opened and not locked again, a radar-based system will be activated inside the vehicle. If no living beings are detected in the vehicle after scanning, the vehicle doors will be closed on the 15th. The goal is to create a system that allows it to lock automatically. Detailed Description of the Invention The “Radar-Based Automatic Re-energizing 20” process was carried out to achieve the purpose of this invention.
