[0001] The present invention relates to a steering wheel locking assistive device that is capable of providing a means to assist a user in locking steering wheel by engaging the device with steering box of the steering wheel and accordingly provide accesses of the steering wheel by matching facial features of the user to prevent access of the steering wheel from unauthorized individual.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] In today's world, where vehicle theft and unauthorized access pose significant challenges, ensuring the security of automobiles has become vital. Vehicles often contain valuable items such as electronics, personal belongings, and even the vehicle itself. Steering wheel locks help protect these valuables by making it harder for thieves to gain access to the vehicle and its contents. Therefore, steering wheel locking is essential for ensuring the security of vehicles, deterring theft, protecting valuables, fulfilling insurance requirements, and providing peace of mind to vehicle owners.

[0003] Traditionally, several different types of anti-theft tools and equipment’s for motor vehicles are used. These include alarms or other electronic equipment’s which disable the vehicle unless bypassed by an authorized operator with a special key or electronic code, but those equipment’s suffer from the disadvantages of being expensive and prone to malfunction. Furthermore, alarms and electronic anti-theft equipment’s are commonly arranged beneath the hood of the vehicle where a knowledgeable criminal may easily locate and disconnect them. While the traditional methods are effective to some extent, they come with several drawbacks. Experienced thieves may be able to bypass traditional steering wheel locks using tools or techniques that exploit their vulnerabilities, such as lock-picking or cutting through the lock. Also, traditional locks do not alert the user/owner regarding the unauthorized attempt to remove the lock.

[0004] CN103359055A discloses about an invention which includes a housing, a lock rod fixed in the housing, an output shaft connected with the lock rod, a motor, and a speed reducer, wherein the motor comprises a rotating shaft; the speed reducer is connected between the rotating shaft and the output shaft; the lock rod can move between a locking position and an unlocking position; when the lock rod is located in the locking position, the lock rod forbids a steering wheel to rotate; when the lock rod is located in the unlocking position, the lock rod allows the steering wheel to rotate; the motor provides a driving force required by movement of the lock rod; the speed reducer is a planetary gear set; and the output shaft and the rotating shaft of the motor are coaxial. The output shaft of the steering wheel locking device and the rotating shaft of the motor are coaxial, so that the space of the steering wheel locking device on the radial outer side of the motor is saved; and compared with the traditional steering wheel locking device, the steering wheel locking device is more compact in structure and smaller in size.

[0005] US5031429A discloses about an anti-theft steering wheel locking device which appearance and function are all the same with the one that in the market but has an anti-turning cylindrical member hiding either underneath, on top of or in the steering wheel which is able to be pulled out and locked at fixed position when parking to prevent unauthorized driving the vehicle. When driving the car, driver only needs to unlock the locking device with a legal key then pushes the cylindrical member back into a tube which is located in a trough and the steering wheel at this moment is able to turn freely without any disturbance. This device, furthermore, takes no extra space.

[0006] Conventionally, many devices have been developed that are capable of assisting a user in locking a steering wheel. However, these devices are incapable of preventing access of the steering wheel from unauthorized individual in an effective manner. Additionally, these existing devices also lack in alerting the user regarding unauthorized access attempts.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device that is capable of locking steering wheel by getting engaged with steering box of the steering wheel to prevent access of the steering wheel from unauthorized individual. In addition, the developed device also alerts the user regarding unauthorized access attempts.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to develop a device that is capable of producing vibrational sensations to provide a haptic feedback in order to deter unauthorized access attempts of the user and accordingly alerts the user regarding potential security breaches.

[0011] Yet another object of the present invention is to develop a device that is capable of covering entire steering wheel’s front and back portion as per user requirement thereby restricting movement of the wheels.

[0020] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0021] The present invention relates to steering wheel locking assistive device that is capable of locking steering wheel by engaging the device with steering box of the steering wheel and prevent access of the steering wheel from unauthorized individual thereby secured the steering wheel in proper manner. Additionally, the device is also capable in producing vibrational sensations to provide a haptic feedback to deter unauthorized access attempts of the steering wheel.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1 and 2, an isometric view of a steering wheel locking assistive device in open and close state respectively, are illustrated comprising a rectangular frame having a pair of U-shaped plates 101, a pair of motorized screws 102 integrated on openings 103 carved on lateral ends of the plates 101, a microphone 104 integrated in the frame, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 integrated on the frame, a U-shaped member 106 installed on end of the bar 113, multiple suction units 107 arranged on inner periphery of the member 106, a pair of circular bodies 108 arranged with ends of the member 106, a first flap 109 fixedly attached on the body, multiple additional flaps 109 each mounted on individual curved sliders 110 positioned around periphery of the body, a speaker 111 associated with the device, a motorized slider 112 installed on bottom plate 101, an extendable bar 113 arranged with slider 112 for positioning member 106, and a DC motor 201 linked with each of the body 108.

[0023] The proposed device comprises of rectangular frame having a pair of U-shaped plates 101 develop and engage on steering box of a steering wheel in a vehicle. Herein, the frame encased with various components associated with the device arranged in sequential manner that aids in assisting a user in locking steering wheel. The user herein requires to activate the device manually by pressing a button associated with the device and assembled with the frame.

[0024] The button is type of a switch that is internally connected with the device via multiple circuits that upon pressing by the user, the circuits get closed and starts conduction of electricity that tends to activate the device and vice versa. After activating of the device by the user, a microcontroller associated with the device generates commands to operate the device accordingly. Upon activating the device, an ultrasonic sensor integrated with the frame detects dimension of the box. The ultrasonic sensor consists of a piezoelectric transducer typically contains a piezoelectric crystal or a similar material. When an electrical signal is applied to the crystal, it vibrates at a high frequency, typically in the ultrasonic range above 20 kHz. When the transducer is activated, it converts the electrical energy into mechanical vibrations or waves. These vibrations are transmitted as a focused beam of ultrasonic waves into the box. The ultrasonic waves propagate outward in a cone-shaped pattern from the transducer.

[0025] When the emitted ultrasonic waves encounter the box in their path, a portion of the waves is reflected back towards the sensor. The amount of reflection depends on factors such as the distance, size, and surface characteristics of the box. The sensor measures the time it takes for the ultrasonic waves to travel from the sensor to the box. The ultrasonic sensor now starts a timer when the waves are emitted and stops it when the reflected waves are detected. The elapsed time is known as the "time of flight" (TOF). Using the known speed of sound in the medium through which the waves are travelling, dimension of the box is calculated. Based on calculation, the sensor transmitted the detected data to the microcontroller to analyze and detect the dimension of the box.

[0026] Based on detected dimension of the box, the microcontroller generates commands to fasten the U-shaped plates 101 via a pair of motorized screws 102 fabricated with openings 103 that is crafted at lateral ends of the plates 101. The microcontroller after detecting the dimension of the box, generates commands to actuate the screws 102 to affix the frame on the steering box. The screw is coupled with a motor that is activated by the microcontroller to rotate the screw driver with specified speed in order fasten screws 102 in the plates 101 that aids in attaching the frame with the steering wheels in secured manner.

[0027] After that the user accesses a microphone 104 assembled in the frame for giving input voice commands to lock the steering wheel. The microphone 104 receives sound waves generated by energy emitted from the voice command in the form of vibrations. After then, the sound waves are transmitted towards a diaphragm configured with a coil. Upon transmitting the waves within the diaphragm, the diaphragm strikes with the waves due to which the coil starts moving the diaphragm with a back-and-forth movement in presence of magnetic field generated from the coil.

[0028] The electric signal emitted from the coil due to back-and-forth movement of the diaphragm is further transmitted to a microcontroller linked with the microphone 104 to process the signal to analyze the signal for detecting voice command given by the user. Upon processing the voice commands, the microcontroller activates an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 assembled with the frame to detect facial features of the user. The imaging unit 105, disclosed herein comprises of a camera and processor that works in collaboration to capture and process the images of vicinity of the body.

[0029] The camera firstly captures multiple images in vicinity of the body, wherein the camera comprises of a body, electronic shutter, lens, lens aperture, image sensor, and imaging processor that works in sequential manner to capture images of the vicinity of the body. After capturing of the images by the camera, the shutter is automatically open due to which the reflected beam of light coming from the surrounding due to light is directed towards the lens aperture. After then the reflected light beam passes through the image sensor. The sensor now analyzes the beam to retrieve signal from the beams which is further calibrate by the sensor to capture images of the vicinity of the body in electronic signal.

[0030] Upon capturing images, the imaging processor processes the electronic signal into digital image. When the capturing is done, the processor associated with the imaging unit 105 processes the captured images by using a code of artificial intelligence to retrieve data from the captured image in the form of digital signal. The data is now transmitted to the microcontroller based on which the microcontroller acquires the data and analyze to detect the facial features of the user by using facial features recognition module encrypted with the microcontroller.

[0031] The facial feature recognition module works based on analysing key facial landmarks and patterns to identify unique characteristics of the user’s face. By comparing these features with pre-saved database of facial features of a registered user, the module accurately match and identify the user in real-time. The identification data is transmitted to the microcontroller in the form of digital signal to analyse and detect the successfully authentication of the user.

[0032] Upon authentication of the user, if the microcontroller via the imaging unit 105 detects an unauthorized access, the microcontroller generates a wireless notification to a computing unit wirelessly linked with the microcontroller to notifying the user regarding the unauthorized access. The computing unit herein includes but not limited to a mobile and laptop that comprises a processor where the alert received from the microcontroller is stored to process and retrieve the output data in order to display in the computing unit.

[0033] The microcontroller is wirelessly linked with the computing unit via a communication module which includes but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module. GSM (Global System for Mobile communication). The communication module acts as a medium between various electronic unit for establishing communication between the computing unit and device to display the alert in the computing regarding the unauthorized access to take action accordingly.

[0034] Simultaneously, the microcontroller activates a speaker 111 integrated with the frame for generating notification to produce alarm to the user regarding unauthorized access of the device. The speaker 111, herein includes a diaphragm, which is typically made of a lightweight and rigid material like paper, plastic, or metal. It is designed to vibrate and produce sound waves when electrical signals are fed to it. A voice coil (a tightly wound coil of wire) attached with the diaphragm of the speaker 111.

[0035] The voice coil is suspended within a magnetic gap. When an electrical current flows through the coil, it interacts with the magnetic field produced by the magnet assembly, resulting in a force that moves the coil. The magnet assembly creates a magnetic field within the speaker 111. It consists of a permanent magnet and a metal structure, such as a pole piece or a magnet plate. The magnet assembly provides a fixed magnetic field through which the voice coil moves. The strength and configuration of the magnet assembly influence the performance and efficiency of the speaker 111.

[0036] The cone/diaphragm is connected to the speaker 111’s frame via a suspension unit, which includes the surround and spider. When the electrical signal passes through the voice coil, it generates a magnetic field that interacts with the fixed magnetic field produced by the magnet assembly. As the electrical current varies, the magnetic field produced by the voice coil changes, resulting in the voice coil and attached cone/diaphragm moving back and forth. This movement creates pressure variations in the surrounding air, generating sound waves to generate the audible sound to notify the user regarding the unauthorized accessing of the device.

[0037] Also, the microcontroller further actuates a vibrating unit fabricated with the frame for producing vibrational sensations to provide a haptic feedback. The vibrating unit works by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy which causes the unit to vibrate. The unit comprises of a motor, eccentric weight and shaft, as the microcontroller directs the motor the shaft rotates which in turn rotates the weight. The rotation of weigh creates the unbalanced forces which leads in vibration of the unit resulting in the providing vibrational sensations in the frame to provide the haptic feedback in order to prevent unauthorized access attempts and alerts the user regarding potential security breaches.

[0038] Based on successful authentication of the user’s facial features, the microcontroller generate commands to actuate a motorized slider 112 assembled on bottom plate for providing translation motion to an extendable bar 113 assembled with the slider 112, wherein the slider 112 consists of a rail unit that provides a guided path for linear movement to the bar 113. The rail unit usually includes a pair of parallel rails or tracks, along which the arrangement moves. The slider 112 incorporates a motor and a drive mechanism to generate linear motion. The motor is connected to a drive mechanism, such as a belt, lead screw, or ball screw. The drive mechanism converts the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion, propelling the slider carriage along the rail unit to translate the bar 113 towards the steering wheels.

[0039] Upon translating of the bar 113 towards the steering wheel aids a U-shaped member 106 assembled on end of the bar 113 to translate along the bar 113 towards the steering wheel. Herein, a laser sensor integrated with the frame detects distance of the steering wheel from the bar 113. The laser sensor sends laser beams at two points of the wheel to form a triangle between the wheel and the point of the laser sensor from where lasers are emitted. The beams are bounced back towards the sensor and are sensed by the sensor with the angle formed between the emitting point and the surface at which laser beam are impact. The laser sensor, after detecting the required data of position of the wheel sends the data to the microcontroller. After receiving data, the microcontroller analyzes the data to detect the distance of the steering wheel from the bar 113.

[0040] Upon detecting position of the steering wheel from the bar 113, the microcontroller generates commands to actuate a pneumatic unit associated with the bar 113 to provide extension and retraction of the bar 113 to position the U-shaped member 106 on the steering wheel. The pneumatic unit comprises of an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves i.e. Inlet and outlet valve and piston that works in collaboration to aid extension and retraction of the bar 113.

[0041] The air compressor is coupled with a motor that gets activated by the microcontroller to compress the air from surroundings upon entering from the inlet valve to compressed and pumped out via the outlet valve. The air valve allows entry or exit of the compressed air from the compressor. Furthermore, the valve opens and the compressed air enters inside the cylinder thereby increasing the air pressure of the cylinder. The piston is connected to the cylinder and due to the increase in the air pressure, the piston extends. And upon closing of the valve, the compressed air exit out from the cylinder thereby decreasing the air pressure of the cylinder.

[0042] The increasing and decreasing of the air pressure from the cylinder aids in extension and retraction of the piston that turns in aiding extension and retraction of the bar 113 for positioning the U-shaped member 106 over the steering wheel and make contact of multiple suction units 107 ranging from 3 to 5 in numbers integrated on inner periphery of the member 106 with the steering wheel. Upon positioning of the suction units 107 over the steering wheel, the microcontroller actuates the suction unit to adhere the steering wheel. The suction units 107 create partial vacuum within the units 107 upon activation of a motor linked with the suction units 107 by squeezing out air from the units 107 due to which the suction units 107 further generated negative pressure inside suction area associated with the suction units 107. Herein, atmospheric pressure outside the units 107 presses down low-pressure area inside the units 107 to generate suction around periphery of each of the suction units 107 to adhere the steering wheel to secure the member 106 on the wheel and aids restriction in movement of the steering wheel.

[0043] Additionally, for deploying a first flap 109 assembled on the body, on the wheel, the user accesses the microphone 104 to give voice commands regarding the deploying of the first flap 109. Herein the flap 109 that is made from a tear and scratch-resistant material that aids durability and tamper resistance in appropriate manner for proper deployment. Based on processing the voice commands, the microcontroller analyze the voice commands and accordingly activates a DC (Direct Current) motor 201 linked with each of a pair of circular bodies 108 assembled with ends of the member 106 to rotate on central axis, at pre-fed intervals to deploy the flaps 109 on the wheel.

[0044] The working principle of the DC motor 201 is based on the interaction between a magnetic field and an electric current. When an electric current flows through the coil of wire, also known as the armature, it creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field interacts with the fixed magnets, known as the stator, causing the armature to rotate. The rotation is achieved by reversing the direction of the current flow in the armature coil using a commutator and brushes that provide continuous movement of the motor results in providing circular motion to the flaps 109 for deploying over the wheel for the pre-fed interval.

[0045] A timer, herein synced with the microcontroller determines time interval of the rotation of the DC motor 201. The timer comprises of pre-set timing due to which the module starts tracking the timing due to supply of electric signal through the microcontroller. After then the timer vibrates to drop a specified time to show the time duration in real time. Based on detection, if the tracked time matches the pre-set time duration, the microcontroller deactivates the DC motor 201 to keep the fist flap 109 in deployed state with the wheel to cover the wheel. Herein, multiple additional flaps 109, each assembled on individual curved sliders 110 placed around periphery of the body are deployed sequentially after the first flap 109 on regular interval upon first flap 109 through the rotation of the body at regular intervals, in order to cover the steering wheel’s front and back portion aids restricting movement of the wheels.

[0046] A battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to offer power to all electrical and electronic components necessary for their correct operation. The battery is linked to the microcontroller and provides (DC) Direct Current to the microcontroller. And then, based on the order of operations, the microcontroller sends that current to those specific electrical or electronic components so they effectively carry out their appropriate functions.
.
[0047] The present invention works best in following manner that includes the rectangular frame having a pair of U-shaped plates to engage on steering box of a steering wheel in a vehicle. Herein, the ultrasonic sensor frame detects dimensions of the box based on which the microcontroller actuate the motorized screws 102 to rotate for fastening the plates 101 as per the box’s dimensions, to affix the frame on the steering box, in a secured manner. The user then access the microphone 104 to provide input voice commands for locking the steering wheel based on which the microcontroller actuates the artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 to determine facial features of the user, wherein a database linked with the microcontroller for storing authorization data of the user and vehicle, that are accessed by the microcontroller for comparing the facial features with the authorized data, in case the features matches, the microcontroller actuates the motorized slider 112 to translate an extendable bar 113 arranged with the slider 112. Also, the laser sensor detects distance of the steering wheel from the bar 113, based on which the microcontroller actuates the bar 113 to extend/retract for positioning the member 106 on the steering wheel, followed by actuation of the suction units 107 to get adhered to the wheel for securing the member 106 on the wheel, thereby restricting movement of the steering wheel. Also, the DC motor 201 is linked with each of the body that is actuated by the microcontroller in sync with a timer linked with the microcontroller to rotate on central axis, at pre-fed intervals for deploying a first flap 109 fixedly attached on the body, over the wheel.
