Abstract

A wireless relay device and a wireless relay control system are provided. The wireless relay control system includes a wireless relay device and a mobile device carrier. The wireless relay device includes a power switch for controlling power supply to a vehicle, a relay communication module for performing wireless communication, and a relay processing unit for controlling the power switch and the relay communication module. The mobile device carrier is electrically connected with the wireless relay device and equipped with an application program including a biometric identification module for controlling a biometric identification function and an application communication module for controlling a communication function. The application communication module performs handshake with the relay communication module, and the biometric identification module verifies a biometric feature of a user to control the power switch to or not to supply power to the vehicle.

Claims

1. A wireless relay control system, comprising:

a wireless relay device including a power switch configured for controlling power supply to a vehicle, a relay communication module configured for performing wireless communication, and a relay processing unit configured for controlling the power switch and the relay communication module; and

a mobile device carrier electrically connected with the wireless relay device and equipped with an application program, the application program including a biometric identification module configured for controlling a biometric identification function of the mobile device carrier and an application communication module configured for controlling a communication function of the mobile device carrier,

wherein the application communication module of the mobile device carrier is configured to perform handshake with the relay communication module of the wireless relay device, and the biometric identification module is configured to verify a biometric feature of a user to control the power switch to or not to supply power to the vehicle.

2. The wireless relay control system of claim 1, wherein the handshake between the application communication module and the relay communication module is performed according to Wi-Fi, Li-Fi, Bluetooth, Wireless USB, NFC, RFID, radio, TransferJet, DSRC, EnOcean, ZigBee or UWB communication protocol.

3. The wireless relay control system of claim 1, wherein the biometric identification module is configured to verify the biometric feature of the user by verifying a fingerprint, an iris, voice, a face feature or a vein of the user.

4. The wireless relay control system of claim 1, wherein the wireless relay device is configured to replace a start relay, a fuel pump relay or an ignition relay of the vehicle, or is adapted to control fuses or control circuits of an engine.

5.
