Vehicle Event Monitoring for Relay Attack and Theft Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle security systems are vulnerable to relay attacks and lack comprehensive real-time monitoring for theft, vandalism, accidents, and assistance events, necessitating advanced detection and notification mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system that utilizes telematic information to define criteria for identifying vehicle events, such as theft, vandalism, accidents, or assistance, and notifies interested parties through a centralized platform, leveraging AI and geofencing for real-time detection and alerting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional mechanical security measures (steering wheel locks, ignition locks) are used, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability of vehicle security is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical security measures (steering wheel locks, ignition locks) with electronic monitoring systems that use telematics, sensors, and centralized platforms to detect and respond to vehicle events, thereby improving reliability while managing complexity through electronic rather than mechanical means
Solution Approach 2:
The monitoring system performs multiple functions including detecting theft, vandalism, accidents, and assistance events through a single integrated platform, improving security reliability without proportionally increasing complexity by consolidating functions
2Reliability
If comprehensive real-time monitoring for multiple event types is implemented, then reliability of vehicle security is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system monitors multiple event types (theft, vandalism, accidents, assistance events) through a single integrated telematics platform, achieving comprehensive detection capability while managing complexity by consolidating monitoring functions into one system rather than separate systems for each event type
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a centralized monitoring platform as an intermediary that receives, processes, and coordinates data from various vehicle sensors and telematics systems, simplifying the overall system architecture by providing a single point of coordination for comprehensive event detection
3Reliability
If advanced electronic monitoring systems are deployed, then reliability of theft prevention is improved, but vulnerability to relay attacks increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors vehicle events and provides real-time feedback through alerts and notifications to authorities or owners, enabling rapid response to unauthorized access attempts and improving theft prevention effectiveness while maintaining awareness of potential relay attack vulnerabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The monitoring system establishes baseline vehicle behavior patterns and event criteria in advance, enabling it to detect and respond to unauthorized access attempts including relay attacks by comparing actual events against pre-defined security thresholds and patterns
Data Source
AI summary
A method, computer program product, and computing system for: defining criteria that identifies a reporting event for a vehicle; accessing telematic information received concerning the vehicle, thus defining vehicle-specific telematic information; processing the vehicle-specific telematic information to determine if the reporting event has occurred; and if the reporting event has occurred, notifying an interested party concerning the occurrence of the reporting event, thus defining a notified party.
