Description

 The invention relates to security and fire alarms and can be used for remote monitoring of the condition of moving objects and taking operational measures to suppress illegal actions and extinguish fires at the facility.

 The known tele-alarm system of stationary and mobile objects (patent RU 2143745, 12/27/1997), containing parameter sensors, GPS-receiver, N command devices containing remote monitoring and control equipment to control parameter sensors at each object. The system is designed to create control systems for mobile objects based on cellular telephone networks. However, this system does not provide for the adoption of operational measures to suppress unlawful actions by attackers and to extinguish fires at the facility, since executive devices are not provided for in it.

 A security system for mobile objects is also known (FR 2758403, 07.17.1998), containing on-board computers installed on mobile objects, each on-board computer connected via a radiotelephone cellular communication channel to its corresponding mobile phone, and also connected to a GPS receiver, security sensors equipment, actuators, and / or video and / or video surveillance devices, and / or a speech processor, the sensors of the security equipment of the object include fire alarms and an autopsy sensor, and spolnitelnye devices include a device for locking the ignition and / or fuel supply blocking and / or locking of the central lock and firefighting. This system does not provide sufficiently reliable protection of the object, since the provided actuators leave the possibility for the attacker to leave the object (breaking the central lock, squeezing the glass); however, the system does not provide enough operational involvement of actuators during visual monitoring, since in this system actuation of actuators is possible only by signal from sensors. In addition, the reliability of the system is not great due to the lack of an autonomous power sensor.

 The technical result of the invention is to increase the reliability and efficiency of blocking attackers and extinguishing fires.

 The problem is solved in that the security system of mobile objects, including N on-board computers installed on mobile objects, with each on-board computer connected via a radiotelephone cellular communication channel to at least one mobile phone corresponding to it, and also connected to a GPS receiver, sensors security equipment, executive devices, and / or video and / or video surveillance devices, and / or a speech processor, the sensors of the security equipment of the object include fire alarm sensors tions and an object opening sensor, and actuating devices include devices for blocking the ignition and / or blocking the supply of fuel and fire extinguishing, additionally contains a central monitoring and control point connected via radio channels to all on-board computers, as well as an uninterruptible power supply, sensors security equipment additionally contain a volume sensor, and / or a weight sensor and an autonomous power sensor, actuators further comprise starter blocking devices, and / or brake brakes, and / or locks of locks additionally installed at the facility, and / or glass locks, and / or stun guns, and / or squibs, while the sensors of the security equipment are connected to the on-board computer through the interface unit of the sensors of the security equipment, and actuators are connected with the on-board computer through the interface unit actuators.

 Moreover, the central control and monitoring center includes a central computer connected via a local network with N personal computers, each of which is connected to telephone modems, cell phones, the Internet channel, while the central control and monitoring center receives and processes information from mobile objects, transmitting control commands to mobile objects, displaying the location, speed, direction of movement of objects on the map of the area, displaying and recording video, photo taken with mobile objects, recording (logging) of all information coming from mobile objects and commands transmitted to objects.

 In various embodiments, the central control and monitoring center and the on-board computer are configured to arm and disarm the system using a proxy card, and / or an identification system, and / or a mobile phone, and / or from a central control center and control.

 To determine the location of the object, the central point of control and management and the on-board computer are made with the possibility of registration using the information of the GPS receiver, tachometer and speedometer installed on the object.

 For the operational determination by the user of the location (coordinates) of the on-board computer, the on-board computer is configured to connect a portable computer to it.

 To increase the reliability of the system, sensors of security equipment are located at the facility in inaccessible places.

 Analog and digital cameras and / or cameras that record radiation in the visible and / or infrared wavelength range, installed outside and / or inside the object, are used as video and / or photo-observation devices.

 In particular, cameras with a Pin-Hole lens are used.

 As a fire extinguishing device, gas and / or powder fire extinguishing systems are used.

 To ensure the reliability of the brake system lock, the brake lock device is made in the form of a hand brake lock device including an electromechanical drive.

 In this case, the hand brake lock device is installed in the passenger compartment of the object, which is a car, and / or under the bottom of the object.

 To increase the reliability of the system, the uninterruptible power supply unit is galvanically isolated from the body of the object.

 To ensure the efficiency of the system during visual control, the on-board computer is configured to promptly operate at least one actuator by issuing a command from a mobile phone and / or from a central control and monitoring center.

 To ensure the convenience of using the system, the on-board computer is configured to remotely change the software and mathematics in the on-board computer of the facility from a central control and monitoring center.

 The system consists of a central point of control and management (hereinafter CCPU) serving N mobile and stationary objects. The CPCU is a central computer with N personal computers connected to it via a local network, to which all information about objects accepted for protection through N personal computers is received and which manages them. In case of unauthorized use of the facility, the CPCU dispatcher can take operational actions to stop the mobile facility, block intruders inside the facility, determine the exact coordinates of the facility, and if a fire ignites on the facility, issue a fire extinguishing command and receive video and photo information from the facility. The CPCU also provides its users who do not use an additional portable computer at the facility with information about a specific location at a real time (for example: if the user is lost). To obtain information about his location, the user must call the CPCU in any way accessible to him and provide his personal subscriber number.

The CPCU includes a central computer 1 connected via a local area network 2 to N personal computers 3, each of which is assigned N mobile objects. Each personal computer 3 is connected to its own mobile phone 4, telephone modem 5 and it is connected to the Internet (6). Telephone modem 5 is designed to establish communication over a cable telephone line having access to a radiotelephone cellular network with a mobile object for receiving or transmitting information; mobile phone 4 is designed to receive information from a mobile object and transmit commands to the object directly via mobile communication. The central computer 1 performs:
- receiving and processing information from mobile objects transmitted from personal computers 3 over a local network 2;
- transfer of control commands to mobile objects on a local network;
- display of the location, speed, direction of movement of objects on the map of the area;
- display and recording of video, photo taken from mobile objects;
- recording (logging) of all information received from mobile objects and commands transmitted to objects.

 Software has been installed on the central computer that links the system into a single whole and provides control over the exchange of information and the functioning modes of the central control system. Information from mobile objects is received in N personal computers 3 via interface 7 from a mobile phone via cellular communication channels, and / or via interface 8 through a telephone modem via telephone channels with access to a radiotelephone cellular network. The transmission of commands to mobile objects is carried out through a telephone modem and / or mobile phone, and / or via interface 6 via the Internet, which has access to a radiotelephone cellular network.

 An on-board computer 9, a GPS receiver 10, an uninterruptible power supply 11, and a speech processor 12 are installed at the guarded object, which provides audio (voice) messages according to the on-board computer commands; video, cameras 13 that transmit images to the on-board computer according to its commands, as well as actuators connected to the on-board computer 9 via the actuator interface unit 14, and signal sensors (security sensors) connected to the on-board computer 9 through the block 15 pairing of signal sensors.

 The on-board microcomputer 9 carries out: receiving user control commands, generating and transmitting information about the state of the object to the user via interface 16, issuing commands via interface 17 to executive devices, receiving and processing information from sensors via interface 18, receiving and processing images from video, cameras and managing them via the interface 19, receiving and processing GPS receiver information via the interface 20, issuing information on the coordinates of the location of the object on a laptop computer through the interface 21, receiving and executing the command before installation and disarming of the object via interface 22 from the reader 23 of access cards, issuing commands to the speech processor 12 via interface 24. The on-board computer has a programmable built-in watchdog timer that ensures automatic restart of the system in case of on-board computer software malfunction or freezes.

 Mobile phone 4 (with a remote antenna) receives commands to control a mobile object and transmit information about the object to users.

 A GPS receiver 10 (with a remote antenna) receives from satellites information on the coordinates of the exact location, time, speed, altitude, direction of travel.

Uninterruptible power supply 11 is a power source for individual elements of the system and generates the following voltages: U1 _pit - GPS receiver 10, U2 _pit - mobile phone 4, U3 _pit - on-board computer 9, U4 _pit - block 14 for coupling actuators, U5 _pit - block 15 pairing of signal sensors, U6 _{pit for} video, cameras 13, U7 _{pit for} speech processor 12. It has a buffer battery, which provides power to the system in case of power failure from the on-board network of the mobile object (U0 _pit ).

 The portable computer 25 is designed to quickly determine directly on the object by the user their location (coordinates). Carries out the reception from the on-board computer, processing and displaying information (using the special mathematical software installed on it) of the GPS receiver 10.

 Block 14 interface actuators receives from the onboard microcomputer commands and converting them into the format of the power commands of the actuators. The following actuators are connected to it: the starter lock 26 on the command of the on-board computer locks the starter; the ignition interlock 27 disables and locks the object’s engine ignition system upon the command of the on-board computer; a fuel supply interlock 28 blocks the fuel supply of the engine of the object upon command; the lock 29 of the brakes locks the hand brake of the object at the command of the on-board computer; fire extinguishing equipment 30 on the command of the on-board computer includes an executive fire extinguishing system; the stun gun 31 produces, by command of the on-board computer, a force effect on the offender located in the cabin of the guarded object; the igniter 32 is made in the form of a gas, noise or powder, similar to the previous one, upon the command of the on-board computer, performs a force action; the glass lock 33 closes and locks the opening windows of the object upon the command of the on-board computer, the special lock locks 34, on the command of the on-board computer, locks the doors of the object with special locks (i.e., locks additionally installed on the object).

 The use of electroshock devices and squibs in the Russian Federation is legally permitted. On July 1, 1997, the State Standard of Russia adopted and introduced GOST R 50940-96 "Electroshock devices", which defines the general technical conditions for electric shock devices manufactured in Russia. Citizens of the Russian Federation and foreign citizens who have reached the age of 18 have the right to purchase electroshock devices without prior permission and registration with the internal affairs bodies. According to the Federal Law of the Russian Federation “On Weapons” (as amended on July 31, 1998), Article 13 “The right to acquire weapons by citizens of the Russian Federation” states that “... Mechanical sprayers, aerosol and other devices equipped with tear or irritating substances , electroshock devices and spark gaps of domestic production, pneumatic weapons with muzzle energy of not more than 7.5 J and a caliber of up to 4.5 mm inclusively are not subject to registration, and citizens of the Russian Federation have the right to acquire thief in them without obtaining a license.

 Block 15 pairing of signal sensors receives information from the sensors of the object, converts it into the on-board computer format and transfers it to the on-board computer. The following sensors are connected to it: the fire alarm sensor 35 gives a signal when a fire occurs at the facility; the weight sensor 36 gives a signal when the weight on the seat of the guarded object changes; the volume sensor 37 gives a signal when the internal volume of the protected object changes; an autonomous power sensor 38 provides a signal of switching to an autonomous system power when trying to disconnect from the aircraft network; tamper sensor 39 gives a signal when opening a guarded object.

 The lock device for the hand brake contains an electromechanical lock 40, which is an electromechanical drive consisting of an electric motor with a worm-gear pair and adjustable limit switches, connected in one embodiment with a grip 41 mounted on the lever 42 of the hand brake, in the other with cables 43 of the hand brake.

 The system is as follows.

 For video and photo surveillance, both outside the object and inside it, analog-to-digital television, cameras and / or miniature analog-to-digital television and cameras with a Pin-Hole lens are used, which record radiation in the visible and infrared wavelengths. Cameras can be both stationary and mobile (rotary). For outdoor monitoring, housing cameras can be installed in pressurized enclosures with aquatic fittings and heated chamber covers for use in adverse weather conditions in order to obtain the best image.

 Non-standard door locking systems (special locks) are used to block and detain intruders inside an object, i.e. locks that are additionally built into the object, which excludes the possibility of opening doors both inside and outside the object. Also, upon receipt of the “Lock” command, all movable windows of the object are closed and locked. The lock can only be unlocked by commands through the security management system. Also, the facility is guarded by a gas and electroshock security system, which can be activated if it is necessary to protect the facility. In this case, all the actions of the attackers are recorded by video, cameras and activation of the power system of influence (gas, electric shock) is possible only after the "Block" command, i.e. The object is locked and stopped. Before activating power systems, attackers are warned through the speech processor that force can be applied to them to suppress their illegal actions.

 All processes of the described fire and security security system are controlled by an onboard microcomputer. To transmit data to the CPCU and the user, public-use radiotelephone systems with a cellular structure are used, combined with the on-board computer via an interface. Thus, the radiotelephone allows not only to transmit information about the state of the mobile object, but also to receive information containing control commands processed by the on-board computer with the execution of the specified actions.

 To increase the reliability of this system, it includes an uninterrupted power supply and uses a two-wire electrical circuit galvanically isolated from the body of a mobile object, which makes it possible to increase the system’s operability in the event of power failure from the vehicle’s on-board source and noise immunity when the object is exposed to any sources of powerful electromagnetic fields (used for disable the security system).

 In the event of a discharge of object and autonomous power sources, it is possible to connect an external power source to remove locks (for example, blocking special locks, hand brakes).

 Arming and disarming can be done using a proxy card, a personal identification system and a mobile phone (by issuing the secret code of the object). The consumer enters the secret code in this security system, i.e. only he knows this code. At the same time, on the CPCU for each object there is a master code for remote control. At the same time, all actions with the object are recorded in the protocol of the CPCU and the on-board computer of the object, which allows you to determine who, when and what commands were issued to the security system of the mobile object.

 When a property owner dials a code over a radiotelephone, the Voice privacy feature (private conversation) may first be activated, i.e. encryption mode. This function protects the system from scanning and code detection. An object disarmed by this code allows penetration, but not engine start (the ignition system, fuel system and immobilizer starter-function are blocked). To disable the locks, Touch Memory devices (electronic key), plastic cards (hiD type), personal identifiers, etc. can be used.

 When removing the locks by the above methods, the consumer receives a time of up to 1 min to start the engine. After the engine stops, it is necessary to repeat the reading procedure to restart it.

 Another feature of this security system is the remote change of mathematical software in the on-board computer (reprogramming) from the central control unit, which does not require the physical presence of the object and mechanical work in the service center.

 All of the above actions that the security system can carry out (fire extinguishing, immobilizer functions, blocking and delaying an attacker, blocking the hand brake, force exposure) are carried out by the CPCU operator and the owner of the mobile object.

Examples of some situations and solutions
The owner disarmed the object and is about to start moving, but the attackers seize the object and leave. In this case, the object will not emit alarms. The owner can use the mobile phone to issue immobilizer commands to the object, which will allow stopping the object, blocking the brake system, doors, windows, turning on the light and sound signaling of the theft of the object, and applying the force impact system. Including these functions, the object security system transmits information on the state of the object, completed commands, and who transmitted them to the CPU.

 The owner put the mobile object in the parking lot and, leaving, noticed that there was a fire in the engine compartment. Automatic activation of the fire extinguishing system will occur when the sensors reach a critical temperature, which can lead to significant delays in the time it is turned on. Having seen a fire, the owner remotely, from a mobile phone, can turn on the fire extinguishing system.

 The following are the algorithms for the system in various modes.

The "Standby" mode (Fig. 4). In this mode, the system performs the following functions:
- checking the receipt of system control commands;
- verification of the legitimacy of the accepted teams and in the case of their unlawfulness of issuing a receipt to the consumer and the dispatcher of the refusal to execute the command;
- when executing control commands, issuing a receipt of an executed command;
- execution of commands allowed for this mode;
- transfer of the system by commands to the "Security", "Alarm"mode;
- cyclic check of system failure or freezing and, if necessary, restarting it.

Security mode (Fig. 5). In this mode, the system performs the following functions:
- checking the receipt of system control commands;
- verification of the legitimacy of the accepted teams and in the case of their unlawfulness of issuing a receipt to the consumer and the dispatcher of the refusal to execute the command;
- when executing control commands, issuing a receipt of an executed command;
- execution of commands allowed for this mode;
- transferring the system by command to the "Standby"mode;
- checking security sensors and putting the system in the "Alarm" mode when they are triggered with the receipt being transmitted to the consumer and the dispatcher;
- cyclic check of system failure or freezing and, if necessary, restarting it.

The "Alarm" mode (Fig. 6). In this mode, the system performs the following functions:
- transmitting GPS receiver information to the consumer and the dispatcher at the given (software) addresses;
- checking the receipt of system control commands;
- verification of the legality of the accepted teams and, if they are unlawful, issuing a receipt to the consumer and the dispatcher of the refusal to execute the command;
- when executing control commands, issuing a receipt of the command being executed.

Execution of the following commands:
"Standby" - command to transfer the system to "Standby mode". When executed, the locks are released (if the "Block" command was issued before).

 "Video" - a command to issue an image to a dispatcher. By this command, the system forms an image from the selected video, camera and transmits to the dispatcher.

 "Lock" - execution of this command includes executive devices for locking: special. locks, starter, ignition, power windows, fuel system. After a predetermined software delay includes locking the brakes and the Speech processor.

 “Impact” - is performed only if the “Block” command is present. According to this command, the system includes actuators of power action and Speech processor.

In the absence of control commands, the system cyclically transmits information of the GPS receiver to the consumer and the dispatcher at the specified addresses;
Cyclically (set programmatically), the system crashes or freezes and, if necessary, automatically restarts it.
