AUTOMATIC NETWORKING APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR VEHICLES
First Claim
1. An automatic networking system for a vehicle including a first component and a second replaceable component, comprising:
- a first identity recognition module disposed in a rear zone of the first component;
a second identity recognition module disposed in a component zone of the second component;
in an initial operation the second identity recognition module operating to send a low frequency wake-up signal to the first identity recognition module when the hitch is connected to the hitch plate; and
the first identity recognition module receiving the low frequency wake-up signal from the second identity recognition module and sending a return signal to the second identity recognition module thereby initiating an operating session, the return signal including an identity code of the first component; and
a data set sent to the first identity recognition module during the operating session includes data from the second component and also includes the identity code, the first identity recognition module during the operating session operating to discard any other data set received by the first identity recognition module not including the identity code.

Abstract
A vehicle automatic networking apparatus with a first component and a second replaceable component includes a first identity recognition module on the first component and a second identity recognition module on the second component. The second module in a networking mode transmits a low frequency wake up signal through a low frequency signal transmission circuit to wake up the first module. A first identity recognition module low frequency sensor circuit senses the low frequency wake up signal, and responds by transmitting an identity code of the first component through a low frequency signal transmission circuit. A second module low frequency signal receiving circuit receives and stores the first component identity code. In a following data transmission, the second module sends data with the identity code, and a first component receiving apparatus identifies it. The first and second modules are both located rearward of a second component connection hitch.

11. An automatic networking system for a vehicle including a first component and a second replaceable component, comprising:
-
a first identity recognition module disposed on the first component in a rear zone of the first component rearward of a hitch plate of the first component; a second identity recognition module disposed on the second component in a second component zone rearward of a second component hitch and rearward of the hitch plate of the first component when the hitch is connected to the hitch plate; in an initial operation the second identity recognition module operating to send a low frequency wake-up signal to the first identity recognition module when the hitch is connected to the hitch plate; and the first identity recognition module operating only after receiving the low frequency wake-up signal from the second identity recognition module to send a return signal to the second identity recognition module thereby initiating an operating session, the return signal including an identity code of the first component. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
