Description:A VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present subject matter generally relates to system and method for a vehicle. More particularly, but not exclusively to a system and method 5 of vehicle security system.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Vehicle security has always been a paramount concern for both vehicle owners and manufacturers. Traditional security measures, such as mechanical locks and keys, have proven susceptible to various vulnerabilities, 10 including theft, unauthorized access, and tampering. As vehicles become more technologically advanced, with features like keyless entry and remote start becoming commonplace, the need for robust and intelligent security systems becomes increasingly critical. However, the integration of advanced technologies into vehicles brings about its own set of challenges and technical 15 problems. One such problem is the vulnerability of wireless communication protocols used in modern vehicles. Hackers can exploit these protocols to gain unauthorized access to vehicle systems, compromising security and potentially putting the safety of occupants at risk. Another challenge is the limitation of traditional vehicle security systems in providing comprehensive 20 protection. While mechanical locks and alarms can deter some theft attempts, they may not be sufficient to prevent sophisticated attacks or unauthorized access to sensitive vehicle components, such as the ignition system. Additionally, there is a growing demand from vehicle owners for enhanced convenience and connectivity features. They expect to be able to remotely 25 control various functions of their vehicles, such as locking and unlocking doors, starting the engine, and receiving real-time status updates. However, implementing these features while maintaining robust security measures presents a significant technical challenge. Furthermore, ensuring secure and reliable communication between different components of the vehicle security 30 system poses another technical hurdle. It requires sophisticated encryption and authentication mechanisms to prevent interception and tampering of data
3
transmitted between devices. Moreover, proactive maintenance and troubleshooting of vehicle security systems present additional technical complexities. Diagnosing potential issues and performing maintenance tasks remotely can be challenging without proper monitoring and diagnostic capabilities built into the system. 5 [0003] Addressing these technical problems requires the development of an integrated vehicle security system that leverages advanced technologies, such as wireless communication, encryption, and remote access capabilities. Such a system should provide comprehensive protection against unauthorized access, while also offering convenient features for vehicle owners and 10 facilitating proactive maintenance and troubleshooting.
[0004] One of the oldest and most common methods for securing vehicles is through the use of mechanical locks and keys. These traditional locks physically prevent unauthorized access to the vehicle. However, they are susceptible to various vulnerabilities such as lock picking, key duplication, 15 and physical tampering. Furthermore, they offer limited convenience to users as they need to carry keys and manually unlock/lock the vehicle. Additionally, mechanical locks and keys cannot prevent sophisticated electronic attacks or remote access attempts, leaving vehicles vulnerable to modern theft techniques. 20
[0005] Alarm systems are another conventional method used to enhance vehicle security. These systems utilize sensors and motion detectors to detect unauthorized entry or tampering and trigger audible and/or visual alarms. While alarm systems can deter some thieves, they have several shortcomings. They are often ineffective against criminals who can disable or bypass the 25 alarm system easily. False alarms due to environmental factors like wind or vibrations can lead to user annoyance and desensitization to alarms. Moreover, alarm systems alone cannot prevent unauthorized ignition or starter relay operation, leaving vehicles vulnerable to theft.
[0006] Keyless entry systems have become increasingly popular in modern 30 vehicles, allowing users to unlock/lock vehicles and start the engine without
4
physically using a key. These systems typically use radio frequency identification (RFID) or near-field communication (NFC) technology. However, keyless entry systems are vulnerable to relay attacks, where attackers intercept and relay signals between the key fob and the vehicle to gain unauthorized access. Moreover, lacking robust encryption and 5 authentication mechanisms, these systems can be susceptible to hacking and spoofing attacks, compromising vehicle security. [0007] Remote start systems offer users the convenience of starting the vehicle's engine remotely using a key fob or smartphone application. While convenient, remote start systems face security vulnerabilities in their wireless 10 communication protocols. Attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities to intercept signals and gain unauthorized control over the vehicle, bypassing traditional security measures. Furthermore, remote start systems often lack comprehensive diagnostic capabilities for proactive maintenance and troubleshooting, limiting their effectiveness in addressing security concerns. 15
[0008] Lastly, aftermarket vehicle security systems are add-on devices installed in vehicles to enhance security features. These systems may include immobilizers, GPS tracking, and shock sensors. However, they come with their own set of limitations. Installation complexity and potential integration issues with existing vehicle systems can hinder their effectiveness. Quality 20 and reliability may vary depending on the manufacturer and installation quality. Additionally, aftermarket security systems may lack seamless integration with other vehicle systems and comprehensive diagnostic capabilities for proactive maintenance and troubleshooting, limiting their ability to address modern security challenges effectively. 25
[0009] Thus, there is a need in the art for a method and a system for a vehicle security system which addresses at least the aforementioned problems and other problems of known art.
[00010] Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art, through 30 comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure,

The immobilizer unit (106) configured to communicate with a control unit (104). In an embodiment the control unit (104) facilitates communication between the immobilizer unit (106) and a 15 plurality of vehicle components. In an embodiment the user digital device (102)configured to send a lock-unlock command to the immobilizer unit(106)via a wireless communication, the wireless communicationtechnologies may include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC (Near FieldCommunication), RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification), and cellular 20 communication. The user digital device (102) may include a variety of devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, computers, smartwatches, wearable devices, key fobs with digital interfaces, smart home assistants, and dedicated mobile applications. These user digital device (102) can be configured to send lock-unlock commands, receive status updates, and 25 interact with vehicle security systems remotely, providing flexibility and convenience in managing vehicle access and security features from anywhere. The user digital device (102) is configured to send lock-unlock commands to the immobilizer unit (106) via wireless communication. These commands are transmitted securely to the immobilizer unit (106), enabling the user to 30 remotely control the vehicle's access and security features.
10
[00032] In one embodiment, the immobilizer unit (106) is programmed to prevent unauthorized ignition and starter relay operation based on the lock-unlock command. This means that when a lock-unlock command is received from the user digital device (102), the immobilizer unit ensures that the vehicle's ignition system and starter relay are only activated if the command 5 is authorized, effectively preventing unauthorized access to the vehicle's engine. Additionally, the user digital device (102) provides the lock-unlock command, which takes precedence over other vehicle access commands, allowing users to override alternative access methods. The control unit (104) is responsible for establishing communication between the immobilizer unit 10 (106)and various vehicle components. This ensures seamless integration andcoordination between the immobilizer unit and other systems within thevehicle, facilitating effective control and management of security functions.Furthermore, the user digital device (102) offers additional functionalitiesbeyond locking and unlocking the vehicle, including specifying a lock-unlock 15 operation range and providing data on the vehicle's last parked location. This enhances user convenience and enables more precise control over the vehicle's security settings. In an embodiment the control unit (104) is configured to send real-time notifications to the user digital device (102) regarding the vehicle's status, unauthorized access attempts, or suspicious 20 activity. Suspicious activities on a vehicle encompass a variety of behaviors or events that may indicate potential security threats or unauthorized access attempts.
