Title: Security device for the global protection with objects with electronic components
Inventor: MESSERSCHMID ERNST
IPC: B60R25/10
Filed: 1999-02-19
Abstract: 1. A procedure for global protection of objects with electronic components, characterized by the fact that through a radio signal, one or more components and or data are changed in such a way that further use of the objects is wholly or partially impossible (deactivation), characterised in that several components (5, 6, 7, 8) are connected together that can receive and evaluate the radio signal independently and that the components (5, 6, 7, 8) can confirm receipt of the radio signal to each other and introduce deactivation. 2. A procedure according to claim 1, characterized in that a radio signal is sent regularly to check the components (5, 6, 7, 8), and in the absence of the radio signal, the user is signaled to bring at least one of the components (5, 6, 7, 8) into radio contact within a certain tune period. 3. A procedure according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the radio signals are radiated especially by one or more flying bodies, such as satellites or airplanes. 4. A procedure according to one of the above claims, characterized in that the processing of the signals to be transmitted is done through an emergency center or another central location. 5. A procedure according to one of the above claims, characterized in that both the transmission of the signals and also the deactivation can occur immediately or after a time delay. 6. A procedure according to one of the above claims, characterized in that the receiver of the radio signals also has an identification number that is unambiguous worldwide. 7. A procedure according to claim 6, characterized in that the identification numbers are transmitted once or periodically. 8. A procedure according to claim 6 or 7, characterized in that the identification numbers are stored in a database. 9. A procedure according to claim to one of the above claims, characterized in that the receiver, after receiving one or more identification numbers, can also transmit signals, preferably back to the transmitter. 10. A procedure according to claim 9, characterized in that the returned signals can also be used for localization. 11. A procedure according to one of the above claims, characterized in that the signals contain check surge, which can detect transmission errors and/or falsifications. 12. A procedure according to one of the above claims, characterized in that authentic transmission of the signals is assured by one-time coding, 13. A procedure according to one of the above claims, characterized in that successful deactivation and/or the identity of the components can also be checked later. 14. A procedure according to one of the above claims, characterized in that deactivation can also occur later. 15. A procedure according to one of the above claims, characterized in that that a reactivation can occur only by an exchange, preferably of all components. 16. A device for global protection of objects with electronic components, by means of which, through a radio signal, components and/or data are changed in such a way that normal operation of the objects is no longer possible, characterized in that the object has several components (5, 6, 7, 8) connected together, at least two of them can receive and evaluate the radio signal, and that the components (5, 6, 7, 8) can confirm receipt of the radio signal to each other and introduction deactivation. 17. A device according to claim 16, characterized in that the relevant components form a unit or are connected by lines that cannot be overheard. 18. A device according to one of claims 16 or 17, characterized in that the components (5, 6, 7, 8) include a decoder logic (9). 19. Usage of the device and/or the procedure according to one of the above claims 16 to 18, characterized in that the components (5, 6, 7, 8) are integrated into a vehicle (4). 20. Usage according to claim 19, characterized in that one of the components (5, 6, 7, 8) is built into the key to the vehicle. 21. Usage of the device and/or the procedure according to one of the above claims 16 to 18, characterized in that the components (5, 6, 7, 8) are integrated into a radio telephone (21). 22. Usage according to claim 21, characterized by the fact that the components (5, 6, 7, 8) are integrated into a chip card.
