Theft prevention system, theft prevention apparatus and power source controller for the system, transport vehicle including theft prevention system, and theft prevention method
First Claim
1. A theft prevention system comprising:
- a theft prevention apparatus for preventing theft of a movable body;
a power source controller which controls a power source for moving the movable body; and
a communication line that connects the theft prevention apparatus and the power source controller for data communication;
wherein the theft prevention apparatus includes;
an identification data inputting unit into which a user inputs identification data; and
an identification data transmitting unit which transmits the identification data input into the identification data inputting unit to the power source controller through the communication line;
the power source controller includes;
an identification data receiving unit which receives the identification data transmitted from the identification data transmitting unit through the communication line;
an identification reference data storing unit which stores identification reference data to be compared with the identification data received by the identification data receiving unit;
an identification data comparing unit which performs a comparing process for comparing the identification data received by the identification data receiving unit with the identification reference data stored in the identification reference data storing unit and determining whether the user inputting the identification data is an authentic user; and
a start-up controlling unit which permits start-up of the power source when the identification data comparing unit determines that the user inputting the identification data is the authentic user.

Abstract
A theft prevention system includes a theft prevention apparatus for preventing theft of a movable body, a power source controller that controls a power source for moving the movable body, and a communication line that connects the theft prevention apparatus and the power source controller for data communication. The theft prevention apparatus includes an identification data inputting section into which a user inputs identification data, and an identification data transmitting section transmits the input identification data to the power source controller through the communication line. The power source controller includes an identification data comparing section which performs a comparing process for comparing identification data transmitted through the communication line with identification reference data and determining whether the user inputting the identification data is an authentic user, and a start-up controlling section which permits start-up of the power source when it is determined that the user inputting the identification data is the authentic user.
