Abstract

A vehicle burglarproof system and a vehicle burglarproof method are disclosed. The vehicle burglarproof system comprises a vehicle component, an electrocardiography (ECG) sensor, a first register, a remote controller and a microcontroller. The remote controller comprises a second register. The ECG sensor senses current ECG information. The first register stores the current ECG information. The second register stores pre-recorded ECG information. If the current ECG information matches the pre-recorded ECG information, the microcontroller controls the vehicle component to change to a second state from a first state which is different from the second state.

Claims

1. A vehicle burglarproof system, comprising:

a vehicle component;

an electrocardiography (ECG) sensor for sensing a current ECG information;

a first register for storing the current ECG information;

a remote controller, comprising;

a second register for storing a pre-recorded ECG information; and

a microcontroller for controlling the vehicle component change to a second state from a first state if the current ECG information matches the pre-recorded ECG information, wherein the first state is different from the second state.

2. The vehicle burglarproof system according to claim 1, further comprising:

an indication device, wherein if the current ECG information does not match the pre-recorded ECG information, the microcontroller outputs an error message to the indication device and determines whether the current ECG information needs to be verified once again.

3. The vehicle burglarproof system according to claim 2, further comprising:

a control key, wherein after the control key is activated, the microcontroller determines whether the current ECG information exists, and if the current ECG information does not exist, the microcontroller outputs a current ECG information request to the indication device.

4. The vehicle burglarproof system according to claim 3, further comprising:

an MEMS sensor for sensing whether the remote controller leaves the user, wherein if the current ECG information exists and the remote controller does not leave the user, the microcontroller controls the vehicle component to change to the second state from the first state.

5. The vehicle burglarproof system according to claim 4, wherein if the remote controller leaves the user, the microcontroller once again determines whether the current ECG information exists.

6. The vehicle burglarproof system according to claim 3, wherein the control key is an unlocking button.

7. The vehicle burglarproof system according to claim 6, wherein the vehicle component is a burglarproof device, the first state is a locking state, and the second state is an unlocking state.

8. The vehicle burglarproof system according to claim 3, wherein the control key is a start button.

9. The vehicle burglarproof system according to claim 8, wherein the vehicle component is an engine, the first state is an engine non-activated state, and the second state is an engine activated state.

10. The vehicle burglarproof system according to claim 2, wherein the indication device is a light emitting diode (LED) disposed on the remote controller.

11. The vehicle burglarproof system according to claim 2, wherein the indication device is a dashboard.

12. A vehicle burglarproof method, comprising:

sensing a current ECG information;

determining whether the current ECG information matches a pre-recorded ECG information stored in a remote controller; and

controlling a vehicle component change to a second state from a first state if the current ECG information matches the pre-recorded ECG information, wherein the first state is different from the second state.

13. The vehicle burglarproof method according to claim 12, further comprising:

outputting an error message and determining whether the current ECG information needs to be verified once again if the current ECG information does not match the pre-recorded ECG information.

14. The vehicle burglarproof method according to claim 12, further comprising:

determining whether the current ECG information exists after a control key is activated; and

outputting a current ECG information request if the current ECG information does not exist.

15. The vehicle burglarproof method according to claim 14, further comprising:

sensing and determining whether the remote controller leaves the user, and controlling the vehicle component to change to the second state from the first state if the current ECG information exists and the remote controller does not leave the user.

16. The vehicle burglarproof method according to claim 15, wherein if the remote controller leaves the user, determining whether the current ECG information exists once again.

17. The vehicle burglarproof method according to claim 14, wherein the control key is an unlocking button.

18. The vehicle burglarproof method according to claim 17, wherein the vehicle component is a burglarproof device, the first state is a locking state, and the second state is an unlocking state.

19. The vehicle burglarproof method according to claim 14, wherein the control key is a start button.

20. The vehicle burglarproof method according to claim 19, wherein the vehicle component is an engine, the first state is an engine non-activated state, and the second state is an engine activated state.
