Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present invention generally relates to an authentication system, more particularly, relates to a rider authentication system for a vehicle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] In existing vehicles, the vehicle is accessed using a key fob or a mechanical key. However, there is a constant threat that the key fob can be maliciously duplicated by hacking and the mechanical key is prone to theft. Further, both the key fob and the mechanical key may be lost, and in such a case the rider can no longer access the vehicle. This impedes the rider’s accessibility and handling capacity of the vehicle.
[003] In order to eliminate the above existing problem, now-a-days, vehicles are accessed using biometric authentication of the registered riders of the vehicle. However, the existing vehicles use a biometric fingerprint scanner or a camera for facial recognition, which in turn increases the part count of the vehicle and inadvertently increases the overall load on the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle.
[004] Typically, in the existing vehicles, biometric data is stored inside the control unit of the vehicle for reference purposes, which unnecessarily increase the load of storing and computing the stored data in the vehicle. It also increases the risk of breach of privacy if the stored biometric data gets stolen from the vehicle. Further, it is very difficult to place the camera in two-wheeler with the limited space. Ultimately, it will also lead to increase in cost. Also, the existing biometric authentication system needs improvement. The present authentication system fails when the rider wears a helmet or spectacles. The performance of biometric authentication system is very poor in mist conditions or under low light situations.
[005] In certain known arts, the biometric data is hosted in a third party cloud server which provides the biometric information to the vehicle ECU when the rider initiates biometric opening of the vehicle. This exchange of information between the vehicle ECU and the third party cloud server is subjected to certain time lag and thereby reduces the efficiency of the vehicle to be opened through biometric authentication.
[006] Thus, there is a need in the art for an authentication system for the rider of the vehicle which can address at least the aforementioned problems.

In one embodiment, the central server118 can be a cloud memory which is hosted in the one or more communication devices 114.
[033] As illustrated in Figure 3A, the one or more communication devices 114 receive a first input from the rider. In an embodiment, the first input includes a primary biometric data. The primary biometric data is at least one or more of a facial image, an iris scan, a fingerprint, an electrocardiography (ECG) print of the rider received via the one or more biometric sensors 116. The ECG is a quick, easy way to assess the heart's function. The one or more communication devices 114 compare the received first input with a predetermined data of the rider. The predetermined data includes, but not limited to, facial features of the rider, fingerprint, iris print, ECG print. The predetermined data is stored in the one or more communication devices 114 for a preset number of riders. In an embodiment, the present number of riders can be up to, but not limited to, 5 riders at a time. The one or more communication devices 114 has a database storing the predetermined data of biometric credentials for the preset number of riders. When the received first input matches with the predetermined data of the rider, the one or more communication devices 114 generate a first signal. The one or more communication devices 114 communicate the first signal to the control unit 112. The control unit 112 is configured to unlock the one or more functions of the vehicle 100 upon receiving the first signal from the one or more communication devices 114. In an embodiment, the one or more functions of the vehicle 100 which the rider can access upon unlocking are, but not limited to, a rider seat 102, a utility box (not shown), a fuel cap 142A. In an embodiment, the control unit 112 communicates a signal to the instrument cluster 110 of the vehicle 100 (shown in figure 2) for displaying lock or unlock status of the vehicle 100. In an exemplary embodiment, in lock status, the rider seat 102 and/or the fuel tank 142 is locked and in unlock status, the rider seat 102 and/or the fuel tank 142 is unlocked.
[034] In an embodiment, if the received first input differs from the predetermined data of the rider for predetermined attempts, the one or more communication devices 114 send a request to the rider for inputting a second input for authentication of the rider. The predetermined attempts can be, but not limited to, three attempts. In an embodiment, the second input includes anyone of a secondary biometric data of the rider and a secondary non-biometric data to be fed by the rider. The secondary biometric data includes at least one or more of a fingerprint, an iris scan, and the secondary non-biometric data includes at least one or more of a passcode, a pattern, a personal identification number (PIN) to be generated by the one or more communication devices 114 in a real time. A one-time password (OTP) is received on the one or more communication devices 114 by a SIM card provided in the one or more communication devices 114.
[035] In an embodiment, the one or more communication devices 114 receive the second input. The one or more communication devices 114 compare the received second input with any one of the predetermined data of the rider stored in the one or more communication devices 114. When the received second input matches with the predetermined data of the rider, the one or more communication devices 114 generate a first signal. The one or more communication devices 114 communicate the first signal to the control unit 112. The control unit 112 is configured to unlock the one or more functions of the vehicle 100 upon receiving the first signal from the one or more communication devices 114. In an embodiment, the control unit 112 communicates a signal to the instrument cluster 110 of the vehicle 100 for displaying lock or unlock status of the vehicle 100.
[036] If the received second input differ with any one of the predetermined data of the rider stored in the one or more communication devices 114, the one or more communication devices 114 communicate Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates of the rider to a central server 118.
[037] In an embodiment as shown in Figure 2, the one or more communication devices 114 receive the first input which includes the primary biometric data of the rider via biometric sensors. The primary biometric data of the rider is shared to the central server 118 by the one or more communication devices 114. The central server 118 checks for anomalies based on the feature of the primary biometric data, background details of the primary biometric data, environment of the primary biometric data, image quality of the primary biometric data and lens glares. The anomalies are determined by comparison of the real time biometric data of the rider with the predetermined data being stored in the one or more communication devices server/memory. The anomalies are checked with respect to the primary biometric data, which is primarily the facial image of the user. The anomaly can occur for example, the predetermined stored primary biometric data being a rider’s photo without beard and moustaches. However, the real time data comprises of the user facial image with a beard and a moustache. The one or more communication devices 114 under such circumstances, will consider the data as anomaly, and will check and confirm other facial features such as dimension and shape of the face, nose, eyes etc. When these parameters match with the predetermined data, the biometric authentication is successful and the facial image of the rider with the beard and the moustache is saved in the server/ memory of the one or more communication devices 114 at a predefined time interval, like quarterly or monthly basis. Further, the anomaly can occur in environment of the data, such as predetermined image being taken with a clear background, and the real time facial image being taken with a tree in the background. Similarly, the image quality of the biometric data can vary depending upon surrounding weather conditions such as rain, fog and also vary upon light intensity of the background such as nighttime or daytime. Furthermore, the lens glare anomaly occurs if there are scratches on the lens of the communication device, also the angle at which the facial image is captured determines the clarity in the primary biometric data of the user.
[038] If anomalies are present then, the central server 118 asks the rider to reinitiate biometric process and, flag the event. The central server 118 trains the model on the predetermined intervals and share the primary biometric data in hexadecimal format through monthly security update. The training model is the ability of the server/memory of the one or more communication devices 114 to store and update the anomalies and successfully authenticate the biometric details of the rider. The communication of the above anomalies between the one or more communication device’s memory and the one or more communication devices biometric details retainer such as facial scanner, fingerprint scanner occurs through hexadecimal or binary codes of signal communication.
[039] In an embodiment, the communication between the control unit 112 and the one or more communication devices 114 is established by the one or more communication devices 114 via anyone of a Bluetooth or the GPS. In an embodiment, the control unit 112 of the vehicle 100 automatically reset when the vehicle 100 is locked or an ignition of the vehicle 100 is stopped.
[040] Figures 3A and 3A’ are flow diagrams of a method depicting operation of the authentication system for the rider of the vehicle, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
[041] At step 302, the one or more communication devices 114 receive the first input from the rider. At step 304, the one or more communication devices 114 compare the received first input with a predetermined data of the rider. When the received first input matches with the predetermined data of the rider, at step 306, the one or more communication devices 114 generate a first signal. At step 308, the one or more communication devices 114 communicate the first signal to the control unit 112. At step 310, the control unit 112 is configured to unlock the one or more functions of the vehicle 100 upon receiving the first signal from the one or more communication devices 114. In an embodiment, at step 312, the control unit 112 communicates a signal to the instrument cluster 110 of the vehicle 100 (shown in figure 2) for displaying lock or unlock status of the vehicle 100.
[042] In an embodiment, as illustrated in Figure 3AA’, at step 304, if the received first input differs from the predetermined data of the rider for predetermined attempts, at 314, the one or more communication devices 114 send a request to the rider for inputting a second input for authentication of the rider. At step 316, the one or more communication devices 114 receive the second input. At step 318, the one or more communication devices 114 compare the received second input with any one of the predetermined data of the rider stored in the one or more communication devices 114. When the received second input matches with the predetermined data of the rider, at step 306, the one or more communication devices 114 generate a first signal. At step 308, the one or more communication devices 114 communicate the first signal to the control unit 112. At step 310, the control unit 112 is configured to unlock the one or more functions of the vehicle 100 upon receiving the first signal from the one or more communication devices 114. In an embodiment, at step 312, the control unit 112 communicates a signal to the instrument cluster 110 of the vehicle 100 (shown in figure 2) for displaying lock or unlock status of the vehicle 100.
[043] In an embodiment, as illustrated in Figure 3AAA’, at step 318, while comparing, if the received second input differ with any one of the predetermined data of the ride stored in the one or more communication devices 114, then at step 320, the one or more communication devices 114 communicate Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates of the rider to the central server 118. In an embodiment, the method includes the step of automatically resetting when the vehicle 100 is locked or an ignition of the vehicle 100 is stopped. Resetting refers to the process where the biometric authentication process takes place again for unlocking the vehicle 100, once the vehicle 100 is turned off and the ignition is turned off.
[044] In an embodiment, as shown in Figures 3B and 3B’, at step 302, the one or more communication devices 114 receive the first input which includes the primary biometric data of the rider via biometric sensors. At step 332, the primary biometric data of the rider is shared to the central server 118 by the one or more communication devices 114. At step 334, the central server 118 checks for anomalies based on the feature of the primary biometric data, background details of the primary biometric data, environment of the primary biometric data, image quality of the primary biometric data and lens glares. If anomalies are present then, at step 336, the central server 118 asks the rider to reinitiate biometric process and, at step 338, flag the event. At step 340, the central server 118 trains the model on the predetermined intervals and share the primary biometric data in hexadecimal format through monthly security update.
[045] Advantageously, the present invention provides an authentication system for the rider of the vehicle without installing additional hardware in the limited space of the vehicle. Hence, it also reduces the cost.
[046] The authentication system of the present invention eliminates the requirement of a physical key to unlock the one or more functions of the vehicle. Also, the risk of breach of privacy from the vehicle has also been reduced as the biometric data of the riders are stored in the one or more communication devices 114. Hence, the present invention improves the efficiency of the vehicle by not putting extra load on the control unit for storing and computing the biometric data. Also, in the present invention, by training the model at the predetermined intervals ensures an improved biometric authentication.
