A vehicle state presentation system includes a terminal device including an ear mounting unit that is mounted on an ear of a user, and a vehicle. The vehicle includes a first communication unit that wirelessly communicates with the terminal device, and a first controller that causes the first communication unit to transmit a notification signal indicating that the vehicle detects a state of the vehicle other than a predetermined state to the terminal device, and the terminal device includes a second communication unit that wirelessly communicates with the vehicle, and a second controller that causes an output unit to perform a notification to the user based on the notification signal received by the second communication unit when the terminal device moves out of a predetermined distance range in which the vehicle is included.

Various embodiments provide for a bike-supported communication network that manages and facilitates communications between components of an electric bicycle and a wireless network. In some embodiments, the systems and methods provide a communication system for an electric bicycle that includes a communication device that facilitates wireless communications between the electric bicycle and a wireless network, and an antenna coupled to the communication device and at least partially integrated into a frame component of the electric bicycle.

A vehicle-mounted apparatus comprising: a main body portion; and an electronic key accommodating portion that accommodates an electronic key of a vehicle and is attachable to and detachable from the main body portion, wherein the electronic key accommodating portion includes a switching unit that switches detection states of a first detection unit and a second detection unit according to an attachment or detachment operation of the electronic key accommodating portion to or from the main body portion, the first detection unit is provided in the main body portion for detecting an accommodation state of the electronic key in the electronic key accommodating portion, and the second detection unit is provided in the main body portion for detecting an attachment or detachment state of the electronic key accommodating portion with respect to the main body portion.

A method for implementing security on a vehicle, comprising integrating an auto device on the vehicle; receiving, at the auto device, input from a remote device to authenticate the remote device to the auto device; verifying, at the auto device, that the remote device is a first authenticated remote device or one of a sequence of at least one subsequently authenticated remote devices; and enabling a security related function of the vehicle upon receiving, at the auto device, instruction from the remote device if the remote device is a first authenticated remote device.

A safety alert system for a specific vehicle includes an Internet-connected server executing software, a digital data repository, a profile associated with the specific vehicle and identifying the specific vehicle and comprising contact information for a person, a computerized monitoring apparatus located in the specific vehicle with a two-way Internet connection to the Internet-connected server, global positioning system (GPS) circuitry coupled, a plurality of sensors, sensing both environmental conditions and status of apparatus of the specific vehicle, and reporting to the monitoring apparatus, and at least one set of variable values stored in the digital data repository indicating an alert status. The server keeps a log of reported variable values for the specific vehicle, periodically compares the variable values reported with the at least one set of variable values indicating an alert status, and issues an alert accordingly.

This invention relates to security systems. Previously, vehicle vandals and thieves were difficult to stop. Embodiments of the present invention use a vehicle security system (100) includes at least two image capture devices (ICD), sensors, a global positioning system tracking module (GPSTM), a control module (CM), and a monitoring device. The ICD are positioned at predetermined locations of the vehicle for capturing and transmitting images of a target object. The CM receives the captured images and sensor data variables. The CM analyzes the received images and sensor data variables based on predefined criteria to trigger auxiliary units. The CM transmits the images and sensor data variables based on the predefined criteria to the monitoring device. A graphical user interface displays the images for monitoring the vehicle and notifies the user.

Embodiments of the present invention are generally directed towards providing a multipurpose event detection sensor and a communications means for delivering a payload notification. In particular, embodiments of the present invention are configured to provide a system comprising a sensor capable of detecting events, such as vibrations of varying forms and amplitude, generating an alert based on certain parameters of those events and transmitting that alert to a remote system via a communications means.

A wheel fastener alarm is provided with a fastener body, a cap covering the fastener body, a sensor array disposed within the fastener body, and a cover disposed over an opening in the fastener body and a hole in the cap.

An anti-theft sensor and an alarm system thereof are provided. The alarm system includes a plurality of anti-theft sensors and an alarm device, and the plurality of anti-theft sensors are electrically connected to bolts of a vehicle frame of a vehicle to form an electrical loop/circuit, so that the plurality of anti-theft sensors must be removed when the vehicle frame is moved. In this way, when the plurality of anti-theft sensors are removed, the plurality of anti-theft sensors are triggered to send a warning signal to the alarm device, so that the alarm device sends out an alarm. Therefore, the vehicle owner can be immediately and correctly reminded that the condition of the vehicle frame of the vehicle is abnormal without false alarms.

A method and apparatus for limited starting authorization are provided. The method includes: determining whether an authorized wireless device is connected to a vehicle sharing system and whether a first command is received from the authorized wireless device; in response to determining that the authorized wireless device is connected to the vehicle sharing system and that the first command is received from the authorized wireless device, setting a timer to a predetermined value, enabling an authenticating device and notifying of the enabling of the authenticating device; and in response to determining that attempted access to an unauthorized part of the vehicle has occurred, a second command is received from the authorized wireless device, or the timer has expired, disabling the authenticating device and notifying of the disabling of the authenticating device. The method may be used in by vehicle sharing system to limit access and prevent theft.
