First Claim
Patent Images
1. An automotive detecting system, comprising an identity device and an automotive detecting host;
- said automotive detecting host communicating wirelessly with said identity device for detecting said identity device and controlling at least one alarm or at least one door locking mechanism of a car; and
said identity device carried by a user or a car owner for receiving a detecting signal from said automotive detecting host or transmitting an identity signal within a predetermined distance between said automotive detecting host and said identity device;
wherein said automotive detecting host comprises;
an identity identification unit transmitting said detecting signal to detect said identity device and receiving said identity signal transmitted from said identity device within said predetermined distance;
a CODEC control unit electrically connected to said identity identification unit for performing signal protection, signal coding/decoding, or signal control for signals output from said identity device, and at least outputting a control signal to control said at least one alarm or said at least one door locking mechanism; and
a micro-control unit electrically connected to said CODEC control unit for performing control and executing instruction sets for said automotive detecting host responsive to said control signal output from said CODEC control unit;
whereby said automotive detecting host detects proximity of said identity device to control said alarm or said door locking mechanism of said car.

Abstract
An automotive detecting system includes an automotive detecting host to detect when a car owner is near their car using a wireless technology. The automotive detecting host automatically controls a door locking mechanism, an alarm, and/or the car'"'"'s ignition. The automotive detecting host includes an identity identification unit, a CODEC control unit, and a micro-control unit, and automatically controls the door locking mechanism, the alarm and/or the ignition as a user or a car owner approaches their car.

23. A detecting method for an automotive detecting system for a car having an identity device carried by a user and an automotive detecting host, said detecting method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) placing said automotive detecting host in a standby mode; (b) said automotive detecting host detecting if said identity device is within a predetermined distance of said automotive detecting host subsequent to step (a); (c) said automotive detecting host opening at least one door locking mechanism responsive to said identity device being detected as being within said predetermined distance; (d) said automotive detecting host judging whether a car door has been opened subsequent to said opening at least one door locking mechanism; and (e) said automotive detecting host starting the ignition responsive to judging that the user opened a car door. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method for detecting exit of a user from a car in an automotive detecting system having an identity device carried by a user, an in-car sensing device, an automotive detecting host and a key-detecting device, said method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) placing said automotive detecting host in a standby mode; (b) detecting if anyone has stayed in the car subsequent to step (a); (c) detecting if a car key is in the ignition switch if no one is detected as staying in the car in step (b); (d) detecting if said identity device is within a predetermined distance of said automotive detecting host if no car key is detected in step (c); and (e) locking a door locking mechanism when said identity device is not detected in step (d). - View Dependent Claims (29, 30)
