Abstract

A vehicle carrying remote control apparatus is provided. The vehicle carrying remote control apparatus is adapted for a security mechanism, e.g., a driveway gate or a mechanical parking lot, which can be remote controlled for allowing a vehicle to pass while the vehicle is being driven, and can be remote controlled to open for passing and close for blocking. The vehicle carrying remote control apparatus includes a control module, and an antenna. The control module includes a fixing base, at least more than one electronic control panels, at least one set of control keys and a signal output terminal. The antenna is equipped to the vehicle, for receiving the signal outputted by the signal output terminal and transmitting the same to a sensing apparatus of a sensing apparatus of the security mechanism.

Claims

1. A vehicle carrying remote control apparatus, adapted for a security mechanism which can be remote controlled for allowing a vehicle to pass while the vehicle is being driven, and can be remote controlled to open for passing and close for blocking, the vehicle carrying remote control apparatus comprising:

a control module, comprising;

a fixing base, having an assembly portion configured at an external thereof provided for being assembled inside the vehicle, and a connection portion connected to an external power supply for providing power;

at least more than one electronic control panels, disposed at a position of the connection portion and receiving a control signal generated by operation of the control keys;

at least one set of control keys, assembled and disposed at a surface of the fixing base; and

a signal output terminal, electrically connected with the electronic control panels, and adapted to output a signal generated by the electronic control panels; and

an antenna, equipped to the vehicle, for receiving the signal outputted by the signal output terminal and transmitting the same to a sensing apparatus of the security mechanism which can be remote controlled for allowing a vehicle to pass while the vehicle is being driven, and can be remote controlled to open for passing and close for blocking.

2. The vehicle carrying remote control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the fixing base is a housing having an assembly portion, by which the fixing base can be assembled inside the vehicle at a desired position, where convenient to operate while requiring less eyesight for viewing.

3. The vehicle carrying remote control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the assembly portion is assembled to the vehicle by a predesigned assembly opening at a monitoring panel or a steering wheel, or by a matching structure introduced to an external connectable fixing position in the vehicle, wherein the assembly portion is assembled thereto by engaging, screwing, banding, or sticking.

4. The vehicle carrying remote control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the connection portion is configured to be a terminal, or a slot for electrical connection or signal transmission.

5. The vehicle carrying remote control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the electronic control panel is an electronic circuit structure capable of performing a calculation.

6. The vehicle carrying remote control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the signal output terminal is adapted to transmit a signal by either a signal line connection or a wireless signal connection.

7. The vehicle carrying remote control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the antenna is capable of emitting a signal forwardly and backwardly.

8. A control method for a vehicle carrying remote control apparatus, which is adapted for a security mechanism which can be remote controlled for allowing a vehicle to pass while the vehicle is being driven, and can be remote controlled to open for passing and close for blocking, the control method comprising:

selecting a specific number of items for remote controlling, setting or replicating frequencies of the specific number of items to one or more electronic control panels, and fixing the electronic control panels to a fixing base;

equipping the fixing base to a desired position of the vehicle via an assembly portion of the fixing base, and then equipping an antenna at a suitable position of the vehicle, so as to build a signal communication between the antenna and a signal output terminal of the fixing base;

when the vehicle is driven to a specific position and waiting for remote controlling a sensing apparatus for initiating an opening operation, selecting a corresponding opening control key for remote controlling the sensing apparatus, wherein when there are more than one electronic control panels, a user selects a corresponding one of the electronic control panels with a control key, and remote controlling the sensing apparatus to drive the vehicle gate or the mechanical parking lot to open, the vehicle gate and the mechanical parking lot allowing the vehicle to pass, and being adapted to open for passing and close for stopping;

when the vehicle is driven over the specific position and waiting for remote controlling the sensing apparatus for initiating a closing operation, selecting a corresponding closing control key for remote controlling the sensing apparatus, wherein when there are more than one electronic control panels, the user remote controls the sensing apparatus to drive the vehicle gate or the mechanical parking lot to close, the vehicle gate or the mechanical parking lot allowing the vehicle to pass; and

when the vehicle passes the specific position and waiting for remote controlling the sensing apparatus for initiating an emergency stopping operation, selecting a corresponding emergency stopping control key for remote controlling the sensing apparatus, wherein when there are more than one electronic control panels, the user remote controls the sensing apparatus to drive the vehicle gate or the mechanical parking lot to stop any operation.

9. The vehicle carrying remote control apparatus according to claim 8, wherein when the opening control key is pressed, a corresponding signal is emitted forwardly;

when the closing control key is pressed, a corresponding signal is emitted backwardly; and

when the emergency stopping control key is pressed, a signal is transmitted both forwardly and backwardly via the antenna
