Specification

Description:ANTI-THEFT UNIT FOR A VEHICLE
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present subject matter generally relates to a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a vehicle with a frame assembly 5 comprising a theft alert unit.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Conventional anti-theft systems often lack effectiveness or are cumbersome to use, leading to a demand for innovative solutions that provide reliable protection without compromising the user experience. Traditional 10 anti-theft systems for vehicles may not be foolproof, allowing thieves to bypass or disable them easily. There's a need for a more robust solution that deters theft effectively. When a theft occurs, prompt notification is crucial for the owner or user to take appropriate action. Existing notification methods may be unreliable or insufficient, leaving owners unaware of the theft until 15 it's too late. Integrating anti-theft systems into the vehicle's design without compromising its aesthetics or functionality can be challenging. Mounting options may be limited, and installations may interfere with other components or accessories. Anti-theft measures should not inconvenience the vehicle owner during regular use. Bulky or obtrusive systems can detract from the 20 overall experience and may discourage users from employing them consistently. Conventional vehicles are exposed to various environmental conditions, including rain, dust, and temperature fluctuations. Anti-theft systems must be durable enough to withstand these conditions without degradation or malfunction. In addition to theft, vehicles may be vulnerable 25 to vandalism, which can cause costly damage and inconvenience to the owner. Anti-theft measures should deter both theft and vandalism effectively.
[0003] Conventional methods involve physically locking the vehicle to a stationary object using chains, padlocks, or specialized locking mechanisms. However, their effectiveness heavily depends on the strength of the lock and 30
3
the quality of the chain. Moreover, they are cumbersome to use, and thieves can often bypass them using bolt cutters or similar tools. [0004] Conventional methods involve steering wheel locks are devices that immobilize the steering wheel, making it difficult for thieves to drive the vehicle even if they manage to break into it. While they provide a visible 5 deterrent, they can be defeated with sufficient force or by removing the steering wheel entirely.
[0005] Traditional alarm systems are designed to detect unauthorized access to the vehicle and emit a loud sound or trigger flashing lights to alert nearby individuals. While they can deter thieves and draw attention to the crime in 10 progress, false alarms or ineffective notifications may desensitize people to genuine theft attempts. Additionally, thieves may be able to disable or bypass the alarm system quickly.
[0006] Conventionally GPS tracking devices allow owners to monitor the location of their vehicles in real-time. In the event of theft, they can provide 15 valuable information to law enforcement for recovery efforts. However, their effectiveness may be limited in areas with poor GPS signal coverage or if the thief disables the device.
[0007] In conventional vehicle immobilizers are employed. Immobilizers are electronic devices that prevent the vehicle's engine from starting without the 20 correct key or authorization. While effective at preventing hot-wiring and unauthorized use of the vehicle, they do not address the physical security of the vehicle itself, leaving it vulnerable to theft by towing or other means.
[0008] Many conventional anti-theft methods serve as deterrents rather than foolproof prevention mechanisms. Determined thieves may still find ways to 25 bypass or overcome these measures, especially if they are experienced or equipped with the right tools.Some methods, such as steering wheel locks or alarm systems, may provide a false sense of security to vehicle owners. While they may deter casual thieves, they may not be sufficient to prevent theft in more targeted attacks. Some anti-theft solutions, such as GPS tracking 30 devices or immobilizers, can be complex to install and maintain. Conventional anti-theft methods often require separate installations or
4
accessories that may not integrate seamlessly with the vehicle's design or structure. This can detract from the vehicle's aesthetics and may inconvenience the owner during regular use. Many anti-theft devices can be disabled or bypassed by knowledgeable thieves, either through physical manipulation or electronic hacking. This undermines their effectiveness and 5 may result in the theft of the vehicle despite the installed security measures. [0009] Thus, there is a need in the art for a method and a system for an idle start stop system of a vehicle which addresses at least the aforementioned problems and other problems of known art.
[00010] Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and 10 traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art, through comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, as set forth in the remainder of the present application and with reference to the drawings.

offset towards one side of the top tube (104). The theft alert unit (304), functions as a communicator and of a potential security breach. Upon receiving a signal from the theft alert unit (304) indicating suspicious activity, various warning mechanisms are initiated, and vehicle functions are controlled to prevent the vehicle security being compromised. These may 5 encompass preventing power unit (110) start up, sending notifications to a user digital device, audible alarms, visible signals, or haptic feedback, creating a deterrent for unauthorized access, and notifying the vehicle owner or nearby individuals of the security threat. The theft alert unit (304) ceaselessly monitors the vehicle's status, ensuring that any attempt at 10 unauthorized access is met with a prompt and conspicuous response. Collectively, these components constitute a resilient and dependable security solution, elevating the overall safety and safeguarding of the vehicle against theft or tampering. [00042] In the context of the conventional vehicles which are equipped with 15 advanced anti-theft systems, the strategic placement of the theft alert unit (304)provides protection against unauthorized access and potential theft.This is achieved by the mounting of the theft alert unit (304) within frameassembly (100) where the inaccessibility of the theft alert unit (304) in thecases of tampering attempts protects the vehicle as well as the theft alert unit 20 (304). Furthermore, the theft alert unit (304) placed at the strategic location within frame assembly (100) is responsible for notifying vehicle owners or relevant authorities in the event of suspicious activities or unauthorized access. While the integration of such security features has undoubtedly enhanced the protection of vehicles, while also ensuring the secure placement 25 and accessibility of the theft alert unit (304).
[00043] Moreover, the users of the vehicle commonly face difficulties in finding an optimal location for the theft alert unit (304) within their vehicles. In conventionally existing vehicles, the placement of the theft alert unit (304) may compromise its effectiveness, as it becomes too exposed, making it 30 susceptible to tampering. In the present disclosure, the theft alert unit (304) on the basis of being disposed on the connecting member (112) which is
13
configured to connect the top tube (104) and down tube (106), provides adequate protection to the alert unit (306) hiding its over-exposure and placing it under the fuel tank of the vehicle. This strategic placement further ensures the warning signal (in the case of theft or unauthorized access) is passed onto the user without any obstruction and without comprising the 5 effectiveness. [00044] Moreover, the placement of the theft alert unit (304) in a vehicle are further exacerbated by the diverse designs and layouts of vehicles. Each vehicle model poses a unique set of challenges, often requiring customized solutions to seamlessly integrate the theft alert unit (304) without 10 compromising security or convenience. Inadvertently, this has led to frustrated users grappling with suboptimal anti-theft system placements, reducing the overall effectiveness of these security measures. In the present disclosure, the theft alert unit (304) does not require any additional mounting arrangement for its secure disposal on the frame assembly (100). The present 15 disclosure utilizes the structural members of the frame assembly (100) such as but not limiting to, the top tube (104), the head tube (102), the down tube (106)and other structural members such as the connecting member (112) withthe mounting bracket (302) ensures no additional mounting arrangements areused for securing the theft alert unit (304). This provides an efficient and 20 strategic placement of an anti-theft measure for the vehicle without increasing the part count.
[00045] Moreover, the importance of safeguarding the theft alert unit (304) cannot be overstated. A compromised anti-theft system not only jeopardizes the safety of the vehicle but also undermines the user's confidence in the 25 security features. The present disclosure provides protection against theft attempts and unauthorized intruders.
[00046] Furthermore, In the realm of two-wheeled vehicles, security takes on an even more critical role due to their inherent vulnerability to theft. Unlike larger vehicles, motorcycles and scooters lack the inherent physical barriers 30 that could deter or impede unauthorized access. Consequently, the placement
14
of the theft alert unit (304) in such vehicles becomes a pivotal aspect of enhancing security measures. The present disclosure decreases the vulnerability of tampering the theft alert unit (304) due to its strategic placement. [00047] The significance of concealing the alert unit in a two-wheeled vehicle 5 stems from the need to discourage potential thieves effectively. Unlike larger vehicles, where the anti-theft components might be dispersed across various locations, the confined space on a two-wheeled vehicle demands strategic placement. The theft alert unit (304) disposed underneath the fuel tank of vehicle, hidden from plain sight not only reduces the risk of tampering but 10 also adds an element of surprise, catching unauthorized individuals off guard.
[00048] Moreover, the advantage of inaccessibility cannot be overstated. Placing the theft alert unit (304) in a location that is challenging for thieves to locate and disable provides an additional layer of defence against theft attempts. This inaccessibility introduces an element of unpredictability into 15 the anti-theft system, enhancing its effectiveness in preventing unauthorized access.
[00049] Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art, through comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, 20 as set forth in the remainder of the present application and with reference to the drawings.
[00050] In light of the above-mentioned advantages and the technical advancements provided by the disclosed method and system, the claimed steps as discussed above are not routine, conventional, or well understood in 25 the art, as the claimed steps enable the following solutions to the existing problems in conventional technologies. Further, the claimed steps clearly bring an improvement in the functioning of the configuration itself as the claimed steps provide a technical solution to a technical problem.
[00051] A description of an embodiment with several components in 30 communication with another does not imply that all such components are
15
required, On the contrary, a variety of optional components are described to illustrate the wide variety of possible embodiments of the invention. [00052] Finally, the language used in the specification has been principally selected for readability and instructional purposes, and it may not have been selected to delineate or circumscribe the inventive subject matter and is 5 therefore intended that the scope of the invention be limited not by this detailed description, but rather by any claims that issue on an application based here on.
