Working Machine Start Authorization to Block Post-Startup Registration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing anti-theft systems for working machines do not effectively prevent unauthorized operation by ensuring that certification processes are completed before the prime mover is started, which can lead to potential theft or misuse.
Innovation Solution
An anti-theft system that includes a start-operation tool, an information obtaining device, and a controller device with certification storage, where the controller device only starts the prime mover if the obtained information matches the stored certification information and allows registration of additional information as certification data before the prime mover begins operation, but stops this registration process once the prime mover is started.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the certification process is allowed after the prime mover starts, then the system is more flexible for multiple users, but the risk of unauthorized operation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system requires certification to be completed before the prime mover starts. The controller prohibits certification processes after startup, ensuring all authorization is established in advance before the machine becomes operational, thus preventing unauthorized operation while supporting multiple users through pre-registration
2Reliability
If the controller checks certification information before starting the prime mover, then theft prevention is improved, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a mobile terminal that users already possess to perform certification. The controller automatically checks certification information without requiring manual verification procedures, making the anti-theft function integrated into the normal startup process rather than adding separate complex verification steps

AI summary
An anti-theft system for a working machine, includes: a start-operation tool to issue an order to start a prime mover; an information obtaining device to obtain first information and second information; and a controller device having: a certification storage to store certification information; a start processor to obtain the order issued by the start-operation tool and to start the prime mover when the first information obtained by the information obtaining device is related to the certification information; and a registration processor to perform a registration process for registering the second information as the certification information. The registration processor allows the registration process before starting of the prime mover, and stops allowing the registration process after the starting of the prime mover.
