Wheel Anti-Theft Alarm with Remote Server Theft Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing anti-theft alarm systems for vehicle wheels and tires require a central processing unit installed in the vehicle or storage spaces, which is disadvantageous and can be vulnerable to manipulation or removal.
Innovation Solution
An anti-theft alarm device embedded in the tire or wheel rim, equipped with kinetic sensors and a communication interface, communicates directly with a remote server via a mobile network to detect and report non-coherent movements, eliminating the need for a central processing unit in the vehicle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a central processing unit is installed in the vehicle or storage spaces to receive kinetic state information and execute alarm functions, then the alarm system can process and respond to theft conditions, but the system becomes vulnerable to manipulation or removal and requires additional units in the vehicle
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the central processing unit from the vehicle environment and relocates it to a remote server. The alarm device in the wheel/tire contains only kinetic sensors and a communication interface, while all processing and alarm execution functions are performed by the remote server outside the vehicle, eliminating vulnerability to manipulation or removal within the vehicle.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a communication network as an intermediary between the alarm device in the wheel/tire and the remote server. This intermediary enables data transmission and alarm execution without requiring direct physical connection or additional units in the vehicle, reducing system complexity while maintaining reliability.
2Strength
If mechanical fastening structures or anti-theft bolts are used to secure wheels, then mechanical security is provided, but these mechanisms can be broken or opened by keys or special tools
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical anti-theft mechanisms (fastening structures, anti-theft bolts) with an electronic/communication-based alarm system. The system uses kinetic sensors to detect movement and communicates theft conditions to a remote server, eliminating the vulnerability of mechanical systems to breaking or opening with tools.
3Reliability
If wireless alarm systems with central processing units are used to detect kinetic state information, then theft detection capability is provided, but the requirement for central processing units in vehicles increases system complexity and cost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the central processing unit function from the vehicle-based wireless alarm system and relocates it to a remote server. The in-vehicle component is reduced to only kinetic sensors and a communication interface, eliminating the need for complex processing units in vehicles while maintaining full theft detection capability through remote processing.
