[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and a method for immobilizing the vehicle.

[0005] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0006]

[0002] With the advancement in vehicle technologies, especially electric vehicles, there is greater focus on enhancement of the safety of a user and the electric vehicle. The electric vehicle refers to a vehicle that is powered by an electric motor and configured to draw electricity from a battery of the vehicle. The vehicle has an immobilizer attached to a control unit of the vehicle. The immobilizer is an anti-theft device that is configured to prevent the vehicle from getting stolen or any other unauthorized access by a third party. Therefore, the immobilizer helps in providing safety to the user of the vehicle and protects the vehicle as well.

[0007]

[0003] The immobilizer is widely used in the vehicle such as Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle. The known immobilizer used in the ICE vehicle is configured to be operated, wherein an ignition unit is electrically disconnected from the rest of the circuit, thereby preventing the vehicle from getting started. As is generally known, the immobilizer is configured to prevent situations such as drunk driving, theft, unauthorized access, and such similar situations.

[0008]

[0004] In existing vehicles, the immobilizer is manually controlled in order to stop the vehicle from getting started. However, the manual control of the immobilizer is not efficient and requires several electrical components to stop power train components of the vehicle such as an engine, transmission, driveshaft, axle, and the like. Hence, the known immobilizer is undesirable and inefficient. Further, the existing systems and methods severely restrict user experience and have significant safety concerns for the user and the vehicle.

[0009]

The TCU 130 helps in translating the vehicle data into significant information and transfers the data to vehicle controllers and dashboard. In an embodiment, the TCU 130 is configured to transmit and receive the data from the remote server 150 or cloud server.

[0030]

[0023] In an embodiment, the TCU 130 is configured to receive an input from the remote server 150 corresponding to an immobilization request. In an embodiment, the immobilization request is received through the user with the help of the user device in the form of an audio, video, gesture, and the like. In yet another embodiment, the TCU 130 is configured to transmit an information to the remote server 150.

[0031]

[0024] In an embodiment, the TCU 130 also has a SIM based communication system which keeps it connected to the remote server 150 all the time and the TCU 130 communicates crucial information to the remote server 150 which in turn is sent to the user’s ride application on the user device. In an embodiment, the remote server 150 or the cloud server is configured to handle requests from the user device.

[0032]

[0025] The system 100 comprises a Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) 140. The VCU 140 is configured to be connected to the BMS module 110 and the TCU 130. The VCU 140 is an electronic component that is configured to communicate between the BMS module 110, a charge monitoring unit, an E-Access motor and an electrical load control unit. The VCU 140 includes related monitoring, sensing, charging and all over communication. The VCU 140 and the TCU 130 are the electronic control units which are connected on the Controller Area

[0033] Network (CAN) of the vehicle 10 and communicates through the bus.

[0034]

[0026] In an embodiment, the VCU 140 is communicably coupled to the battery pack 120. In an embodiment, the VCU 140 is connected to the battery pack 120 wirelessly. In an embodiment, the VCU 140 is adapted to determine one or more operating parameters of the vehicle 10. The one or more operating parameters of the vehicle 10 comprise a speed of the vehicle 10, a brake actuation, a throttle actuation, the one or more parameters pertaining to the battery pack 120 and the like. One or more sensors (not shown) are installed on the vehicle 10 and are configured to procure information pertaining to each of the one or more operating parameters and parameters pertaining to the battery pack 120. In an embodiment, the one or more sensors comprises but is not limited to a battery monitoring sensor, a vehicle speed sensor and the like.

[0035]

[0027] The VCU 140 acts as a gateway module and is further configured to receive the input from the TCU 130, thereby immobilizing the vehicle 10. The system 100 further has a Motor Control Unit (MCU) 160. The MCU 160 is an electronic module that is configured to connect the battery pack 120 and a motor of the vehicle 10 to control the speed and the acceleration of the vehicle based on a throttle input. Hence, the MCU 160 is configured to control the motor of the vehicle 10, thereby controlling the movement of the vehicle 10. The MCU 160 is configured to be connected to the VCU 140. The MCU 160 is further configured to disable one or more power drive components of the vehicle 10 based on the immobilization request.

[0036]

[0028] In an embodiment, the VCU 140 is the master control unit of the vehicle 10 which is configured to receive the immobilization command / request from the remote server 150 through the TCU 130. The VCU 140 safely executes the logic responsible for disabling the sub-systems of the vehicle 10 in order to prevent the vehicle 10 from theft and any other unauthorized access of the vehicle. Therefore, the present invention provides the vehicle 10 which is adapted to be immobilized remotely by disconnecting the communication between the VCU 140 and the MCU 160, thus ensuring the safety of the user and the vehicle 10.

[0037]

[0029] In an embodiment, the system 100 further has a charger unit 170. The charger unit 170 is connected to the one or more battery packs 120. The charger unit 170 is configured to charge the battery packs 120 of the vehicle 10 for the smooth functioning of the vehicle 10. In a non-limiting embodiment, whenever the vehicle 10 is switched on from an off state, the VCU 140 checks for any pending request corresponding to the immobilization request. If the immobilization request is pending, the VCU 140 is configured to check whether the charger unit 170 is connected to the vehicle 10. If the charger unit 170 is connected to the vehicle 10, then the vehicle 10 is in stationary condition. If the charger unit 170 is not connected to the vehicle 10, then the load path between the motor and the battery is shut in order to immobilize the vehicle 10. However, if the pending request corresponds to a mobilization request, the request is executed if the vehicle 10 is in the stationary condition.

[0038]

[0030] In a non-limiting example, the user ‘A’ has an electric vehicle. The user ‘A’ suspects an unauthorized access of the electric vehicle, wherein the user ‘A’ is not near the electric vehicle. In such a scenario, the user ‘A’ is able to access the electric vehicle with the help of the mobile device. The user ‘A’ checks the mobile application and sends a request to immobilize the vehicle through the mobile device. The immobilization request is received by the remote server of the electric vehicle. The remote server of the electric vehicle communicates the immobilization request to the TCU, which in turn sends the requests to the VCU and the MCU of the electric vehicle. On successful verification of the immobilization request, the communication between the VCU and the MCU is disconnected remotely, thereby stopping the motor and drive unit of the electric vehicle. Hence, the electric vehicle is temporarily stopped from functioning, which prevents the electric vehicle from situations such as theft and unauthorized access.

[0039]

[0031] In another aspect as depicted in Figure 3, the present invention relates to a method flow diagram 200 for immobilizing the vehicle 10, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As disclosed herein, the immobilization of the vehicle 10 refers to a mechanism to prevent the vehicle 10 from being moved temporarily. The vehicle 10 is immobilized in situations such as theft, unauthorized access, and the like, thereby providing an additional security and safety to a user of the vehicle 10 as well as to the vehicle 10. The present method 200 provides a reliable and efficient method 200 for immobilizing the vehicle 10, thereby enhancing the overall experience and safety of the user as well as the vehicle 10. The steps involved in the method 200 for immobilizing the vehicle are illustrated in Figure 3. As illustrated, at step 202, the method 200 starts. At step 204, an input from a remote server 150 is received by a Telematics Control Unit (TCU) 130 corresponding to an immobilization request. The TCU 130 is configured to be communicably coupled with the remote server 150 of the vehicle 10. The TCU 130 is a device which is embedded in the vehicle 10 and is configured to connect the vehicle 10 to the remote server 150 or a cloud. In an embodiment, the remote server 150 is configured to be connected to a user device. In an embodiment, the user device includes but is not limited to a mobile device, a laptop, a tablet, a computer, any other electronic device capable of sending and receiving the data.

[0040]

[0032] The TCU 130 is an electronic control unit that is configured for collecting the information of the vehicle 10 such as a speed of the vehicle 10, a fuel level of the vehicle 10, a location of the vehicle 10, and the like. The TCU 130 facilitates in controlling the wireless tracking, diagnostics and management of the vehicle data communication. The TCU 130 is used to implement functions such as automated emergency calling, crash notifications, tow alerts, vehicle tracking, and the like. Also, the TCU 130 is provided with the GPS tracking facility to detect the live location of the vehicle 10. The TCU 130 helps in translating the vehicle data into significant information and transfers the data to vehicle controllers and dashboard. In an embodiment, the TCU 130 is configured to transmit and receive the data from the remote server 150 or cloud server.

[0041]

[0033] In an embodiment, the TCU 130 is configured to receive an input from the remote server 150 corresponding to an immobilization request. In an embodiment, the immobilization request is received through the user with the help of the user device in the form of an audio, video, gesture, and the like. In yet another embodiment, the TCU 130 is configured to transmit an information to the remote server 150.

[0042]

[0034] In an embodiment, the TCU 130 also has a SIM based communication system which keeps it connected to the remote server 150 all the time and the TCU 130 communicates crucial information to the remote server 150 which in turn is sent to the user’s ride application on the user device. In an embodiment, the remote server 150 or the cloud server is configured to handle requests from the user device.

[0035] In an embodiment, the information to the remote server 150 is transmitted by the TCU 130. Therefore, the TCU 130 helps in maintaining a two-way communication i.e., from the user to the vehicle 10 and from the vehicle 10 to the user.

[0043]

[0036] At step 206, the input from the TCU 130 corresponding to the immobilization request is received by a Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) 140. The VCU 140 is configured to be connected to the BMS module 110 and the TCU 130. The VCU 140 is an electronic component that is configured to communicate between the BMS module 110, a charge monitoring unit, an E- Access motor and an electrical load control unit. The VCU 140 includes related monitoring, sensing, charging and all over communication. The VCU 140 and the TCU 130 are the electronic control units which are connected on the Controller Area Network (CAN) of the vehicle 10 and communicates through the bus.

[0044]

[0037] In an embodiment, the VCU 140 is communicably coupled to the battery pack 120. In an embodiment, the VCU 140 is connected to the battery pack 120 wirelessly. In an embodiment, the VCU 140 is adapted to determine one or more operating parameters of the vehicle 10. The one or more operating parameters of the vehicle 10 comprise a speed of the vehicle 10, a brake actuation, a throttle actuation, the one or more parameters pertaining to the battery pack 120 and the like. One or more sensors (not shown) are installed on the vehicle 10 and are configured to procure information pertaining to each of the one or more operating parameters and parameters pertaining to the battery pack 120. In an embodiment, the one or more sensors comprises but is not limited to a battery monitoring sensor, a vehicle speed sensor and the like.

[0045]

[0038] The VCU 140 acts as a gateway module and is further configured to receive the input from the TCU 130, thereby immobilizing the vehicle 10. At step 208, the vehicle 10 is disabled by the VCU 140 based on the immobilization request. In an embodiment, the one or more power drive components of the vehicle 10 is disabled by a Motor Control Unit (MCU) 160 based on the immobilization request from the VCU 140. The MCU 160 is an electronic module that is configured to connect the battery pack 120 and a motor of the vehicle 10 to control the speed and the acceleration of the vehicle based on a throttle input. Hence, the MCU 160 is configured to control the motor of the vehicle 10, thereby controlling the movement of the vehicle 10. The MCU 160 is configured to be connected to the VCU 140. The MCU 160 is further configured to disable one or more power drive components of the vehicle 10 based on the immobilization request received from the VCU.

[0046]

[0039] In an embodiment, the VCU 140 is the master control unit of the vehicle 10 which is configured to receive the immobilization command / request from the remote server 150 through the TCU 130. The VCU 140 safely executes the logic responsible for disabling the sub-systems of the vehicle 10 in order to prevent the vehicle 10 from theft and any other unauthorized access of the vehicle. Therefore, the present invention provides the vehicle 10 which is adapted to be immobilized remotely by disconnecting the communication between the VCU 140 and the MCU 160, thus ensuring the safety of the user and the vehicle 10. Once the immobilization request is executed and the vehicle is disabled temporarily, the method 200 terminates at step 210.

[0047]

[0040] In an embodiment, the method 200 further has a charger unit 170. The charger unit 170 is connected to the one or more battery packs 120. The charger unit 170 is configured to charge the battery packs 120 of the vehicle 10 for the smooth functioning of the vehicle 10. In a non-limiting embodiment, whenever the vehicle 10 is switched on from an off state, the VCU 140 checks for any pending request corresponding to the immobilization request. If the immobilization request is pending, the VCU 140 is configured to check whether the charger unit 170 is connected or not to the vehicle 10. If the charger unit 170 is connected to the vehicle 10, then the vehicle 10 is in stationary condition. If the charger unit 170 is not connected to the vehicle 10, then the load path between the motor and the battery is shut in order to immobilize the vehicle 10. However, if the pending request corresponds to a mobilization request, the request is executed if the vehicle 10 is in the stationary condition.

[0041] Figure 4 illustrates a method flow diagram 300 for checking an immobilization request, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In an embodiment, the Unified Diagnostics Protocol (UDS) is a communication protocol that is configured to be used in the control units to enable the testing, diagnostics, firmware updates, and the like. As depicted in Figure 4 at step 302, the method for checking the immobilization request starts. Further at steps 304-310, the remote server 150 of the vehicle 10 is connected to the user device of the user. The authentication is done and based on the successful authentication, the user device and the remote server 150 enters into an extended session. At step 312, the method 300 checks whether the remote server 150 is unlocked or not. If the remote server 150 is locked, then a negative response is sent as shown at step 328. If the remote server is unlocked, the user device sends the mobility request for the vehicle 10 as shown at steps 314 and 316. At steps 318, the immobilization request, the mobilization request and the negative response are stored in the remote server 150 of the vehicle 10. At step 320, the remote server 150 checks for the pending requests from the user device. If the pending request corresponds to a mobilization request, the vehicle 10 is operated accordingly as shown at steps 322 and 324. At step 326, if the pending request corresponds to an immobilization request, then the vehicle 10 is disabled and the vehicle is safeguarded from any theft and unauthorized access. At step 328, if there are no pending requests, then the vehicle 10 remains in the current state. Once the pending requests corresponding to the immobilization are checked, the method terminates at step 330.
