Abstract

A motorcar burglar proof system comprised of a mechanism to lock up the steering wheel, an image retrieve device, and a built in control circuit; an IC chip integrated by the control circuit recording physical features of the genuine driver to compare with the image retrieved so to release the steering wheel if fits; if not, the steering wheel remaining to be locked up, the image being saved, and the alarm being activated to alert the parties concerned to respond in time.

Claims

1. A motorcar burglarproof system is comprised of a frame adapted with a locking member to restrict the steering wheel and an image retrieve device;

a built-in control circuit linked to an alarm installed to the motor car and integrated with power supply loop, microprocessor, IC chip, image recording unit, digital image process loop, locking member driver loop, and alarm drive loop;

the IC chip recording the physical features of the genuine driver to compare with that of the image taken by the image retrieve;

the locking member being released from the steering wheel if the comparison results fit;

the locking member remaining its status of restricting the steering wheel if the comparison results fail to fit;

the image of the burglar being recorded in real time and saved; and

the alarm being activated to notify the parties concerned to response.

2. The motorcar burglarproof system of claim 1, wherein the control circuit is linked to the door opening mechanism, and the system is activated once the door of the motorcar is opened.

3. The motorcar burglarproof system of claim 1, wherein the control circuit is integrated with a radio communication module to transmit the image retrieved by the image retrieve device to a designated receiver.

4. The motorcar burglarproof system of claim 1, wherein the frame is provided with an adapter linked to the control circuit;

the IC chip is linked to the control circuit through the adapter.

5. The motorcar burglarproof system of claim 1, wherein the image-recording unit integrated by the control circuit relates to a flash image-recording unit.

6. The motorcar burglarproof system of claim 1, wherein the image-recording unit integrated by the control circuit relates to a burner.

7. The motorcar burglarproof system of claim 1, wherein the image-recording unit integrated by the control circuit relates to a hard disk.

8. The motorcar burglarproof system of claim 1, wherein the control circuit is integrated with the motor;

the motor is subject to the control by the locking member drive loop; and

the motor drives the locking member to operate.

9. The motorcar burglarproof system of claim 8, wherein those two motors are respectively provided on both sides of the frame and the locking member related to a clamping member that changes its angle for being subject to the revolution of the motors.

10. The motorcar burglarproof system of claim 1, wherein the image retrieve device is related to CCD photo-sense device, CMOS photo-sense device, and digital or analog image retrieve device.
