The present disclosure relates to a shared bicycle that can be charged conveniently. The bicycle includes a front fork, a rear fork, a handle mounted on the front fork, a shopping basket mounted on the handle, a solar panel mounted on the shopping basket, and a smart lock mounted on the rear fork. The bicycle further includes a bus for data transmission and charging. One end of the bus is electrically connected to the smart lock, and the other end of the bus is configured with an interface that can be connected to an external circuit. The interface is mounted on the shopping basket. The solar panel is connected to the bus via a wire. The interface of the bus is mounted on the shopping basket without disassembling the cover plate, which provides a large operable space and makes it convenient for charging and data transmission, thereby improving the rescue efficiency.

A vehicle anti-theft device that is operable to inhibit the operation of a keyless vehicle module wherein the present invention includes a first mode and a second mode. The present invention includes a second controller wherein the second controller is installed in a suitable location within a vehicle. The second controller is electrically coupled to the wiring harness of the vehicle wherein a circuit portion thereof is utilized to supply direct current power to the second controller. A key fob is provided wherein the key fob is operably coupled to the second controller. The key fob includes a first switch and a second switch wherein the first switch and second switch transition the present invention between the first mode and second mode. In the first mode of the present invention the second controller inhibits direct current flow to the first controller and as such renders the keyless vehicle module inoperable.

A vehicle theft-prevention system can include a plurality of sensors configured to sense measurements proximate to a vehicle and a body configured to secure to a window of the vehicle. The body can include a wireless transceiver and at least one computing device coupled to the plurality of sensors and the wireless transceiver. The at least one computing device can be configured to receive, via the wireless transceiver, an indication to enter an armed mode from an unarmed mode. The at least one computing device can be configured to, in response to the indication, transition to the armed mode, wherein transitioning to the armed mode comprises setting a configuration of at least one property of a subset of the plurality of sensors.

The vehicle control system includes a first position measuring unit measuring a position of a mobile terminal by performing first position measuring processing, a second position measuring unit measuring a position of the mobile terminal by performing second position measuring processing having less power consumption in a vehicle by wireless communication than that of the first position measuring processing, and a position measurement control unit handling, as monitoring areas, a first area outside the vehicle and a second area outside the first area and, if the position of the mobile terminal is within the second area, continuing measurement of a position of the mobile terminal by the second position measuring unit, and, after the position of the mobile terminal comes into the first area, switching to measurement of a position of the mobile terminal by the first position measuring unit.

A sensing device can include an accelerometer, a transceiver, and a computing device in communication with the accelerometer and transceiver. The computing device can transmit a first set of signals at a first power level to a remote device. The computing device can determine, via the accelerometer, a movement of the sensing device. The computing device can increase a power level for transmission from the first power level to a second power level in response to the movement. The computing device can transmit future signals at the second power level to the remote device.

An access system for an object with a transmission unit arranged in the object and a transponder unit arranged in a portable device. The transmission unit emits request signals at regular intervals. The transponder unit, in response to a triggering event, stores a current position of the object and determines its own position at regular intervals. The transponder unit deactivates the transmission unit when the transponder unit detects, based on the determined position, that the transponder unit has left a first zone, wherein the first zone is arranged around the object, and wherein the transmission unit does not emit any request signals while the transmission unit is deactivated. The transponder unit furthermore activates the transmission unit when the transponder unit detects, based on the determined position, that the transponder unit has entered an adjusted first zone, wherein the adjusted first zone is arranged around the object.

Start-up of an engine is prevented, and easier installation to a vehicle can be achieved. A device includes: connectors configured to be connected to battery cables of a vehicle; a communication unit configured to communicate with an external device; a power consuming device configured to consume power of a vehicle battery; and an overall control unit configured to perform control of causing consumption of power of the vehicle battery by using the power consuming device, when the overall control unit receives a signal for instructing consumption of the vehicle battery from the external device through the communication unit.

A vehicle includes an electric power reception unit that is configured to receive electric power that is required to activate a system of the vehicle, from a portable device that is portable, the portable device including an electrical storage device provided therein, and the portable device being configured to carry out at least one of authentication of a user of the vehicle and issuance of a command to activate the system.

A vehicle control apparatus is mounted on a vehicle to perform wireless communication with a portable terminal. The vehicle control apparatus includes a first processor and a second processor. The first processor execute a first process to determine whether or not a wireless signal is a regular wireless signal transmitted from the portable terminal. The second processor executes a second process including an authentication of the portable terminal in response to the received wireless signal being determined to be the regular wireless signal, and does not execute the second process in response to the received wireless signal being determined to be not the regular wireless signal. Herein, a power consumption when the first processor executes the first process is smaller than a power consumption when the second processor executes the second process.
