Vehicle on-board article theft warning system
First Claim
1. A vehicle on-board article theft warning system comprising:
- detection means for detecting on-board article-specific ID information transmitted from IC chips attached to on-board articles;
ID information storing means at activation of a theft detection mode for storing as initial ID information the article-specific ID information detected by the detection means;
discrimination means after activation of the theft detection mode for comparing detected ID information consisting of on-board article-specific ID information detected by the detection means with the initial ID information and discriminating whether or not there exists missing ID information defined as ID information contained in the initial ID information but not contained in the detected ID information; and
warning means responsive to a discrimination that missing ID information exists for determining that theft of an article corresponding to the missing ID information occurred and issuing a prescribed warning.

Abstract
A vehicle on-board article theft warning system includes detection means for detecting on-board article-specific ID information transmitted from IC chips attached to on-board articles, ID information storing means for storing as initial ID information the article-specific ID information detected by the detection means when a theft detection mode is activated, discrimination means responsive to activation of the theft detection mode for comparing detected ID information consisting of on-board article-specific ID information detected by the detection means with the initial ID information and discriminating whether or not there exists missing ID information defined as ID information contained in the initial ID information but not contained in the detected ID information, and warning means responsive to a discrimination that missing ID information exists for determining that theft of an article corresponding to the missing ID information occurred and issuing a prescribed warning.

13. The vehicle on-board article theft warning system of 1, wherein the theft warning system further comprises registration means for registering ID information on designated on-board articles beforehand, and the ID information storing means inhibits storage of ID information not registered in the registration means as initial ID information.
-
17. The vehicle on-board article theft warning system of 1, wherein the ID information detection after activation of the theft detection mode and the discrimination by the discrimination means are conducted during driving.

18. A vehicle on-board article theft warning method comprising:
-
a step of detecting on-board article-specific ID information transmitted from IC chips attached to on-board articles;
a step of storing as initial ID information the detected article-specific ID information when a theft detection mode is activated;
a step of, after activation of the theft detection mode, comparing the detected ID information consisting of on-board article-specific ID information with the initial ID information and discriminating whether or not there exists missing ID information defined as ID information contained in the initial ID information but not contained in the detected ID information; and
a step of, in response to a discrimination that missing ID information exists, determining that theft of an article corresponding to the missing ID information occurred and issuing a prescribed warning.

19. A vehicle on-board article theft warning program for execution by a computer to implement a vehicle on-board article theft warning method, which program causes the computer to detect on-board article-specific ID information transmitted from IC chips attached to on-board articles;
- store as initial ID information the detected article-specific ID information when a theft detection mode is activated;
after activation of the theft detection mode compare the detected ID information consisting of on-board article-specific ID information with the initial ID information and discriminate whether or not there exists missing ID information defined as ID information contained in the initial ID information but not contained in the detected ID information; and
respond to a discrimination that missing ID information exists by determining that theft of an article corresponding to the missing ID information occurred and issuing a prescribed warning.
- store as initial ID information the detected article-specific ID information when a theft detection mode is activated;
-
20. A vehicle on-board article theft warning system comprising:
-
IC chip reader for detecting on-board article-specific ID information transmitted from IC chips attached to on-board articles;
a database at activation of a theft detection mode for storing as initial ID information the article-specific ID information detected by the detection means;
discrimination means after activation of the theft detection mode for comparing detected ID information consisting of on-board article-specific ID information detected by the detection means with the initial ID information and discriminating whether or not there exists missing ID information defined as ID information contained in the initial ID information but not contained in the detected ID information; and
warning means responsive to a discrimination that missing ID information exists for determining that theft of an article corresponding to the missing ID information occurred and issuing a prescribed warning.
