A wireless authentication device for a saddle-type vehicle performs authentication through wireless communication with a mobile terminal carried by a user. The wireless authentication device for a saddle-type vehicle includes a first operating input device, a light-emitting and notification part, and a controller. The first operating input device receives an operation of switching to a state in which a power engine is capable of being started. The light-emitting and notification part is provided in the first operating input device or in a portion surrounding the first operating input device, and performs a light-emitting and notification operation in which light is emitted to notify a user that authentication has succeeded. The controller determines whether authentication has succeeded through wireless communication with a mobile terminal, and if the authentication has been determined to have succeeded, causes the light-emitting and notification part to perform the light-emitting and notification operation.

An on-vehicle communication system of an embodiment includes: an antenna that is provided on a vehicle and performs a close-range communication with a user terminal device present in a communication area around the vehicle; and a control portion that is provided on the vehicle and executes a predetermined authentication process when a radio wave strength of a signal received from the user terminal device via the antenna or a signal received by the user terminal device from the antenna is equal to or more than a threshold value, wherein the control portion notifies a user of information on a target communication position at which the user terminal device should be located when registering the threshold value by using a notification portion.

The invention relates to a device for monitoring a motor vehicle, in particular a motorcycle (2), configured to be connected to an interface (3) of the motor vehicle (2), the device comprising: a processor (1a) associated with a memory (1b), a geolocation module (1c), a vibration detection module (1d) and/or a fall detection module (1f), a mobile application module (1g) for exchanging information on the vehicle with a mobile application server (4), a silent alert module (1i) via the mobile application server (4) according to vibration detection module data (1d) or fall detection module data (1f), characterized by: a mobile internet network connection module (1i), an audible alarm (5), and in that the mobile application module (1g) is configured to remotely control the audible alarm (5).

This control system comprises: a control device which, while a vehicle is driven, receives power to control the operation of a moving part and which, while the vehicle is stopped, does not receive power; and a system which is capable of communicating with the control device, and which, when the vehicle is stopped, receives power so as to be capable of ascertaining first information pertaining to time or which is capable of acquiring, during the driving, second information pertaining to times before and after when the vehicle was stopped. When the vehicle is restarted after being stopped, the control device uses at least one of the first information and the second information received from the system to ascertain the time elapsed while the vehicle was stopped, and uses the elapsed time to control the operation of the moving part.

An on-vehicle communication system of an embodiment includes: an antenna that is provided on a vehicle and performs a close-range communication with a user terminal device present in a communication area around the vehicle; and a control portion that is provided on the vehicle and executes a predetermined authentication process when a radio wave strength of a signal received from the user terminal device via the antenna or a signal received by the user terminal device from the antenna is equal to or more than a threshold value, wherein the control portion notifies a user of information on a target communication position at which the user terminal device should be located when registering the threshold value by using a notification portion.

An anti-theft apparatus that attaches to a shift lever and a foot rest of a motorcycle includes a shackle that is sized and shaped to extend from the foot rest to the shift lever. The shackle has an open end, a second end opposite of the open end, and two elongate arms that extend between the second end and the open end. A locking mechanism engages with the open end of the shackle to lock the shackle into place around the foot rest and the shift lever. A lock plate is coupled to one of the elongate arms of the shackle. A cross bar plate removably attaches to the open end of the shackle and is configured for being positioned between the locking mechanism and the shift lever when the apparatus is attached to the motorcycle. When the apparatus is attached to the motorcycle, the motorcycle shift lever cannot be operated, thereby deterring theft of the motorcycle.

A handlebar arrangement for a vehicle is provided, having a fork bridge, an ignition steering lock and a retention member or holder to which the ignition steering lock is fastened. The retention member is fixed on the fork bridge by fasteners, wherein elastic decoupling elements for shock and/or vibration decoupling are arranged between the fork bridge and the retention member.

The present invention is a motorcycle theft prevention system that comprises a tilt switch and a control circuit. After the user installed the present invention, the control circuit stays in the deactivated state until the motorcycle is oriented to a different angle. When the motorcycle is oriented to a different angle, the control circuit activates the horn and light source to warn the user of possible theft.
