Abstract

An automotive active remote encryption and switching device is revealed. Remote images and information are transmitted through wireless communication for monitoring vehicle status. The device includes at least one video mobile phone with specific permission, a control mainframe for receiving signals from the video mobile phone, a remote video recorder mounted in a vehicle, a detection unit that detects conditions inside the vehicle and a receiver that receives signals from the control mainframe. Thereby the remote images showing conditions in the vehicle are detected by the detection unit and sent to users by wireless communication equipments available now. Thus users can carry out corresponding measures and the active remote control of the vehicle is achieved by the video mobile phone.

Claims

1. An automotive active remote encryption and switching device that sends remote images and information back as well as controls on/off of at least one remote vehicle switch in a vehicle by wireless communication comprising:

at least one video mobile phone that is a specific video mobile phone sending or receiving encrypted signals by a wireless telecommunications system;

a remote video recorder that is an image recording unit for video recording and monitoring conditions in the vehicle;

a control mainframe that is a remote receiver for sending or receiving the encrypted signals from the video mobile phone by the wireless telecommunications system as well as decrypting and modulating the encrypted signals received to generate audio/video signals and switching signals;

a storage device that receives the audio/video signals from a central processing unit of the control mainframe and stores the audio/video signals;

a receiver that is arranged at the vehicle switch and is used for receiving the switching signals from the central processing unit of the control mainframe to make the vehicle switch execute the switching signals; and

a detection unit for detecting conditions in the vehicle and sending sensing signals to both the remote video recorder and the central processing unit of the control mainframe so that the sensing signals together with images from the remote video recorder are sent to the central processing unit of the control mainframe.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control mainframe includes:

a signal receiving interface that is a remote receiver for sending or receiving the encrypted signals from the video mobile phone by the wireless telecommunications system;

a digital signal processor that is a processor for decrypting and modulating the encrypted signals received by the signal receiving interface; and

a central processing unit that receives images from the remote video recorder and decrypted signals from the digital signal processor, output the audio/video signals to be stored and to the signal receiving interface for being further sent to the specific video mobile phone, and output the switching signals to the vehicle switch.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the detection unit is a horizontal detector with a gyroscope, a vibration sensor, a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, or a smoke detector.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the detection unit includes two of the following:

a horizontal detector with a gyroscope, a vibration sensor, a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, and a smoke detector.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the detection unit includes three of the following:

a horizontal detector with a gyroscope, a vibration sensor, a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, and a smoke detector.

6. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the detection unit includes four of the following:

a horizontal detector with a gyroscope, a vibration sensor, a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, and a smoke detector.

7. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the detection unit includes a horizontal detector with a gyroscope, a vibration sensor, a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, and a smoke detector.

8. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the video mobile phone supports at least 3^rd generation of standards for mobile telecommunications and mobile phones services.

9. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the storage device is a memory storage device of the video mobile phone.

10. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the storage device is a cloud storage platform of telecommunications systems.

11. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the detection unit is a horizontal detector with a gyroscope, a vibration sensor, a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, or a smoke detector.

12. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the detection unit includes two of the following:

a horizontal detector with a gyroscope, a vibration sensor, a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, and a smoke detector.

13. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the detection unit includes three of the following:

a horizontal detector with a gyroscope, a vibration sensor, a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, and a smoke detector.

14. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the detection unit includes four of the following:

a horizontal detector with a gyroscope, a vibration sensor, a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, and a smoke detector.

15. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the detection unit includes a horizontal detector with a gyroscope, a vibration sensor, a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, and a smoke detector.

16. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the video mobile phone supports at least 3^rd generation of standards for mobile telecommunications and mobile phones services.

17. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the storage device is a memory storage device of the video mobile phone.
