The present disclosure relates generally to a field of a system and method for safety alert and service communication in a vehicle. More specifically, it pertains to a compact and cost-effective system in a vehicle which provides safety alert for high reverse speed and enables communication for service assistance and technical guidance via nearest service care centre.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art. [0003] Conventionally, vehicle operator tries to reach out to a service centre or a mechanic nearby in case of emergency situations such as vehicle breakdown, smaller big issues faced during field operations or any queries or guidance needed for the field operations. Moreover, it becomes challenging when such emergency situations occur at odd times such as night when service care or mechanic is not easily available. Further, vehicle manufacturer also seeks to contact services for providing updates related to vehicle and service set up. This becomes difficult, especially, in case of vehicles engaged in heavy commercial or field operations as operators are always busy working in the field or driving vehicle. [0004] When an operator of a vehicle steps on a brake pedal while engaging reverse gear during reverse travel of vehicle, there can be a chance to unintentionally step on accelerator pedal. In such a case, vehicle may accelerate and may bump into an object resulting in safety alert hazard. More specifically, in case of agricultural vehicles, there is a need for the vehicle to be driven in reverse direction during certain field applications such as haulage and spraying. Operator may unintentionally accelerate while reversing which may cause accident. [0005] In an existing technology, a hall-effect sensor is coupled with a gear tooth and processing engine to sense reverse speed of the working vehicle via
2

number of revolutions made by tyre of the working vehicle. Disadvantage with existing technology is that the processing engine needs detail of tyre size. Every time tyre of vehicle is changed, operator has to update details of tyre size in the processing engine, which makes the device cumbersome and not user friendly. Another disadvantage is that hall-effect sensor is located at a position where grease and gear oil may hinder functioning of sensor.
[0006] In another existing technology, an assistance device is coupled with a vehicle such that service centre telecaller can communicate with an operator. An assistance device includes two independent units viz. a microphone unit with switch and a speaker unit. Independent units are bulky and require proper space and arrangement for fitment on a vehicle. Thus the assistance device is not easy for retro-fitment on existing vehicles. Also, due to high sound of the vehicle during field operations, speaker unit becomes dysfunctional and inaudible to the operator. Moreover, location of vehicle is not traceable in the existing technology. Further, assistance device is comparatively costly.
[0007] There is, therefore, a need in the art to provide a compact, and a cost effective solution which combines high reverse speed alert as well as service assistance communication by tracking vehicle location and matching with corresponding service care centre, and also ensuring smooth communication between an operator and service centre telecaller during field operations.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

economical solution which provides service assistance by nearest service care
centre and provides an alert for high reverse speed of the vehicle.

medium storing the instructions and the processing resource to execute the
instructions, or the machine-readable storage medium may be separate but

[0077] It would be appreciated that engines being described are only
exemplary engines and any other engine or sub-engine may be included as part of the system 102. These engines too may be merged or divided into super- engines or sub-engines as may be configured.
Receiving Engine 212
[0078] In an embodiment, a receiving engine 212 can facilitate receiving a
sensed first set of attributes, a sensed second set of attributes, and the third set of attributes. The first set of attributes can be associated with movement of a vehicle 108. In another embodiment, the first set of attributes can pertain to any or combination of an instantaneous location, instantaneous position, geographical location, distance, instantaneous time, and time interval. The instantaneous position of the vehicle 108 can be a position at a corresponding instantaneous time. The geographical location can be location of a broad area of the instantaneous position of the vehicle 108. The geographical location of the vehicle 108 can be determined by longitude coordinate and latitude coordinate. In an exemplary embodiment, if the vehicle 108 is moving in Gautam Buddh Nagar, then the instantaneous position of the vehicle 108 can be 313, Block -C, Sector-14, and a geographical location of the vehicle 108 can be Noida.
[0079] In an embodiment, the second set of attributes can pertain to a
unique identifier of the vehicle 108. In another embodiment, the second set of
attributes can be selected from group including but not limited to telephone
17

number, mobile number, SIM number, IMEI number, contact number, chassis number, and a vehicle registration number. In yet another embodiment, the second set of attribute can be a unique set of alpha numeric characters for a corresponding vehicle. In an exemplary embodiment, the second set of attributes can be any or combination of numeric character, alphabet character, special character, and alphanumeric character. For example, the second set of attributes can be selected from group including 9823456674, fghjdsrwtikfn, ejr45693849jk, and the likes.
[0080] In an embodiment, the third set of attributes can be selected from
group including reverse signal, backward direction, and reverse direction. The third set of attributes can be received when an operator of the vehicle 108 engages a reverse gear 504. In an exemplary embodiment, the vehicle 108, includes a passenger vehicle or a commercial vehicle, which can be engaged with a reverse gear 504 for moving the vehicle in a reverse direction. In another exemplary embodiment, the vehicle 108, including a working vehicle, can be engaged with a reverse gear 504 for reversing the vehicle 108 in a working field.
Parameter Evaluation Engine 214
[0081] In an embodiment, a parameter evaluation engine 214 can facilitate
evaluation of a parameter value from the sensed first set of attributes based on the received third set of attributes. The parameter value can be evaluated with various parameters including but not limited to movement of the vehicle 108, instantaneous position of the vehicle 108, instantaneous time of the vehicle, time interval of the vehicle, and the likes. The parameter value can be selected from group including a reverse speed, reverse velocity, and reverse acceleration of the vehicle.
[0082] In an exemplary embodiment, the vehicle 108 moves from a first
instantaneous location at a first instantaneous time to a second instantaneous location at a second instantaneous time on a field. The parameter evaluation engine 214 evaluates distance based on the difference between the first instantaneous location and the second instantaneous location. The parameter
18

evaluation engine 214 evaluates time based on the difference between the first instantaneous time and the second instantaneous time. The parameter evaluation engine 214 evaluates the parameter value such as speed by dividing the evaluated distance and the evaluated time.
Comparator Engine 216
[0083] In an embodiment, the comparator engine 216 can facilitate
comparison of the parameter value with a dataset comprising a predefined threshold parameter value. Based on comparison, when the evaluated parameter value exceeds the predefined threshold parameter value, the processing engine 208 can generate a first alert signal.
[0084] In an embodiment, the comparator engine 216 can monitor real
time reverse speed based on the reverse signal received and compare the real time reverse speed with predefined or specified reverse speed. If on comparison, monitored reverse speed is more than the predefined reverse speed, first alert signal will be sent to indicator for alarming the operator.
[0085] In an exemplary embodiment, in the comparator engine 216, when
a predefined reverse speed is set as 25 kmph and the operator starts reversing the vehicle 108, the comparator engine 216 at every reverse speed compares real time reverse speed with predefined reverse speed. When the real time reverse speed exceeds 25 kmph to value say 26 kmph, the comparator engine 216 can send the first alert signal 516 to the indicator for alarming the operator about high reverse speed of the vehicle 108.
Matching Engine 218
[0086] In an embodiment, the matching engine 218 can facilitate matching
the sensed first set of attributes with a preconfigured dataset having plurality of predefined first set of attributes. On matching, the matching engine 218 generates a second alert signal 602, and associates the sensed second set of attributes with the second alert signal 602.
19

[0087] In an embodiment, the matching engine 218 can match the
received real time geographical location with a predefined or specified geographical location. Based on matched geographical location, the matching engine 218 can send a second alert signal 602. In another embodiment, the matching engine 218 can associate the unique identifier with a second alert signal 602.
[0088] In an exemplary embodiment, the vehicle 108 can be moving in a
Noida location and the operator wants to communicate with the service centre telecaller 304 (as shown in FIG. 3) for any SOS situation such as vehicle breakdown or any other service related query. The matching engine 218 can match the real time instantaneous location of the vehicle to the predefined geographical location as Noida. When the real time geographical location as Noida is matched, the matching engine 218 can send the second alert signal. The matching engine 218 can associate a unique identifier, say 6589kjrh256, of the vehicle with the second alert signal 602.

The service centre telecaller 304 can include but not limited to service care team, service centre, service assistance. The service centre telecaller 304 can identify and call back based on the received unique identifier 6589kjrh256 for service related communication and technical guidance.
Priority Engine 220
[0089] In an embodiment, the priority engine 220 can allow the first alert
signal 516 when the first alert signal 516 and the second alert signal 602 are simultaneously generated. The first alert signal 516 can be indicative of reverse speed more than the predefined threshold parameter value. The second alert signal
20

602 can pertain to the unique identifier of the vehicle 108, which can be received by the corresponding service centre telecaller 304.
[0090] In an exemplary embodiment, when the vehicle 108 is moving at

The system 102 will only allow the first alert signal 516 which can be indicative of high reverse speed, and the system 102 can disable the second alert signal 602 which does not allow any call from the corresponding service centre telecaller 304. The priority of the first alert signal 516 pertaining to high reverse speed can be provided for safety of operator and vehicle 108.
[0091] FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary representation of proposed system and method for safety alert and service communication in a vehicle, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0092] In an embodiment, the system and method for safety alert and
service communication in a vehicle 102 can include a vehicle device 106, local base station (LBS) 302, server 110, comparator engine 216, matching engine 218, corresponding service centre telecaller 304, and the likes. The vehicle device 106 can be operatively coupled with the local base station (LBS) 302 to provide instantaneous location and unique identifier of the vehicle 108. The local base station (LBS) 302 can be operatively coupled with the server 110, such that the local base station (LBS) 302 can provide instantaneous location and unique identifier of the vehicle 108 to the server 110. The server 110 can be operatively coupled with the comparator engine 216 and the matching engine 218. The comparator engine 216 can compare reverse speed of the vehicle 108 with the predefined reverse speed, and on comparison if the evaluated reverse speed is more than the predefined reverse speed, the comparator engine 216 provides first alert signal 516 to the vehicle device 106. The matching engine 218 can be operatively coupled with the corresponding service centre telecaller 304. The matching engine 218 matches instantaneous position of the vehicle 108 with the predefined instantaneous positions, such that based on matched location, the
21

matching engine 218 sends unique identifier to the corresponding service centre telecaller 304. A technical assistance of the service centre, based on the received unique identifier, can call to the vehicle device 106 for resolving query of the operator.
[0093] In an exemplary embodiment, various vehicles 108 can be
operatively coupled with the local base station (LBS) 302 to provide various locations and various unique identifiers. For example, various vehicle A, vehicle
B, vehicle C can be within proximal distance of the local base station (LBS) 302.
The vehicle A can provide, say Noida location and unique identifier 12345 to the
local base station (LBS) 302. The vehicle B can provide, say Ghaziabad location
and unique identifier B54321 to the local base station (LBS) 302. The vehicle C
can provide, say Greater Noida location and unique identifier 6789C to the local

[0094] FIG. 4 illustrates a vehicle device 106 for safety alert and service communication to be implemented on a vehicle, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0095] In an embodiment, the vehicle device 106 can include a subscriber
identification module (SIM) 502 (interchangeably to be referred to as set of sensors 502, herein), actuator 402, earphone jack 404, indicator, and the likes. The vehicle device 106 for safety alert and service communication can be coupled with the vehicle 108. In another embodiment, the vehicle device 106 can be inserted at a proximal distance from dashboard of the vehicle 108 within comfortable reach of the operator.
[0096] In an embodiment, the actuator 402 of the vehicle device 106 can
be actuated by the operator to call corresponding service centre telecaller 304 in case of any service related query such as malfunctioning of the vehicle 108. The actuator 402 can be selected from group including switch, SOS switch, button, controller, lever, and the likes. The corresponding service centre telecaller 304 can call back to the SIM 502 of the vehicle device 106 through white listed service centre number. The operator can attend the call of the corresponding service centre telecaller 304 by plug-in the headset (Mic) provided in the earphone jack 404 of the vehicle device 106.
[0097] In an embodiment, the vehicle device 106 can include a wire
harness 406 which can be configured with a battery of the vehicle 108 to provide regular power supply to the vehicle device 106.
[0098] In an embodiment, the corresponding service centre telecaller 304
can call the SIM 502 of the vehicle 108 for giving any specific updates or any other important communication on behalf of corresponding vehicle manufacturer. Whenever the corresponding service centre telecaller 304 calls the SIM 502, the indicator configured with the vehicle device 106 can transmit continuous indication that the call is coming from the corresponding service centre telecaller 304. In an exemplary embodiment, the indicator can pertain to any or combination
23

of a sound indicator, visual indicator, alarm, buzzer, beep, LED, and bulb. The operator can plug-in the headset and can receive the call. The corresponding service centre telecaller 304 can call on a number assigned to the SIM 502 installed on the vehicle device 106. In another embodiment, when the operator actuates actuator 402 of the vehicle device 106, a text message can be received by corresponding service centre telecaller 304. On receiving the text message which consists of unique number assigned to the SIM 502, the corresponding service centre tele caller 304 can call back the operator for further communication.
[0099] In an embodiment, when the operator engages a reverse gear 504
of the vehicle 108, the reverse signal from normally close switch, mounted on the reverse gear 504, will be sent to the processing engine 208. The processing engine 208 starts calculating the speed, and if the speed approaches to predefined speed, say 25 kmph, in a reverse direction, the processing engine 208 can provide supply to the indicator for intermittently beeping to alert the operator for high reverse speed.
[00100] In an embodiment, if simultaneously the reverse speed of the
vehicle 108 can be high and corresponding service centre telecaller 304 is calling the SIM 502. The vehicle device 106 can allow only the indicator of the high reverse speed, thus disabling the voice call received from the corresponding service centre telecaller 304.
[00101] In an embodiment, size of the vehicle device 106 can be compact,
thus the vehicle device 106 can be installed and integrated easily without disturbing any hardware of the vehicle 108. Due to plug-in headset of the vehicle device 106, the voice call made by corresponding service centre telecaller 304 can be easily audible. The vehicle device 106 can be universal vehicle device 106 which can be retrofitted on an existing vehicle.
[00102] In an exemplary embodiment, the system for safety alert and
service communication in the vehicle typically can include a global positioning system (GPS) that receives signals from orbiting satellites and a processor that
24

analyzes these signals to calculate a GPS "fix". The fix, which features data such as the vehicle's latitude, longitude, altitude, heading, and velocity, typically describes the vehicle's location with an accuracy of about 10 meters or better.
[00103] In an embodiment, the global positioning system (GPS) can be a
satellite navigation system used for determining an end user's position on the Earth's surface. The GPS can include a constellation of medium earth orbit satellites that transmit several civilian encoded time signals down towards the Earth. Each satellite uses an on-board atomic clock to generate the encoded time signals, which are synchronized and maintained through radio communications by several GPS ground control stations. GPS receivers (e.g., portable electronic vehicle devices carried by end users) can receive and decode the time signals from multiple (four or more) satellites, and the receiver's location (e.g., latitude, longitude, and/or elevation) can be calculated from these signals. The GPS receivers can also calculate precise UTC traceable time from the received time signals as modified by any necessary correction factors. Accessing the civilian portion of the GPS service is unrestricted and free of charge.
[00104] In an embodiment, with recent advances, the GPS signal has
become outstandingly accurate. The accuracy is enough to locate a vehicle on a road. Recently, many advances have allowed the signal of a GPS receiver to become much more accurate and low cost when positioned in a vehicle.
[00105] FIG. 5 illustrates a safety system for high reverse speed alert in a
vehicle, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[00106] In an embodiment, the safety alert system for high reverse speed
can include a reverse gear 504 of the vehicle, reverse signal unit 506, set of sensors 502, memory unit 206, processing engine 208, processor 202, comparator engine 216, and the likes. The reverse signal unit 506 can be configured with the reverse gear 504 engagement of the vehicle 108. The reverse signal unit 506 can be adapted to generate a third set of attributes when the reverse gear 504 is engaged to move the vehicle in reverse direction. The third set of attributes can be
25

selected from group comprising reverse signal, backward direction, and reverse direction.
[00107] In an embodiment, the set of sensors 502 can be configured with
the vehicle 108, such that the set of sensors 502 can sense a first set of attributes and a second set of attributes. In another embodiment, the set of sensors 502 can be coupled with the vehicle device 106. In yet another embodiment, the set of sensors 502 can be inserted inside the vehicle device 106. In an exemplary embodiment, the set of sensors 502 can be configured at proximal distance from the dashboard of the vehicle 108. The set of sensors 502 can include any or combination of a GPRS unit, a SIM, a GPS unit, and the likes. The first set of attributes can be associated with movement of the vehicle 108, and the second set of attributes can be associated with unique identifier of the vehicle 108.
[00108] In an embodiment, the processing engine 208 can be operatively
coupled with the set of sensors 502 and the reverse signal unit 506. The processing engine 208 can include a processor 202 coupled to a memory unit 206, such that the memory unit 206 can store instructions executable by the processor 202. The processor 202 can include a comparator engine 216, and can be configured to receive the sensed first set of attributes, the sensed second set of attributes, and the third set of attributes. The processor 202 can evaluate a parameter value from the received first set of attributes based on the received third set of attributes such as reverse signal. The comparator engine 216 can compare the parameter value with a dataset including a predefined threshold parameter value. The predefined threshold parameter value can be stored in the memory unit 206. Based on comparison when the parameter value exceeds the predefined threshold parameter value, the comparator engine 216 can generate a first alert signal 516.
[00109] In an exemplary embodiment, the processing engine 208 can
determine the speed of the vehicle device 106. For example, a location LI of the vehicle device 106 can be determined from the signal received via local base
26

station (LBS) 302 by the vehicle device 106. The instantaneous time Tl can be recorded when the location LI is determined. Another location L2 of the vehicle device 106 can be determined at another instantaneous time T2. (Typically, the time interval between Tl and T2 can be short, say measured in seconds. If too long, the possibility arises of an inaccurate result if the vehicle happens to take a turn, double back, or is on a winding road.) The time T2 can also be recorded. The distance between the two instantaneous locations LI and L2 can be determined. The time interval between the two recorded times Tl and T2 can be determined. This results in measurement of the distance travelled and the time elapsed in traveling that distance. The speed of the vehicle 108 can be determined by division of the distance (L2-L1) with the time interval (T2-T1), which corresponds to the speed S of the vehicle 108: S= (L2-L1) / (T2-T1).
[00110] In an embodiment, the set of sensors 502 and the reverse signal
unit 506 can be operatively coupled with an indicator of the vehicle 108. The indicator can work based on the generated first alert signal 516.
[00111] In an embodiment, the first alert signal 516 can be in a form of a
notification, for example, an instruction sent to the indicator for sounding an audio alarm or displaying a text alert for alerting the operator that the vehicle 108 is speeding beyond the predefined threshold limit for the reverse speed. For example, the indicator can be in communication with the vehicle's electronics/computer system, the indicator can be instantaneously activated during time intervals when the vehicle 108 is traveling in reverse direction above predefined threshold reverse speed.
[00112] In an embodiment, the processing engine 208 can be capable of
comparing speed limit data from the memory unit 206 with vehicle speed derived from taking a time differential of the vehicle position data from the local base station (LBS) 302, and the processing engine 208 can compare the instantaneous speed of vehicle 108 with the predefined threshold speed limit. The processing engine 208 can generate a first alert signal 516, say an audio signal, by activating
27

the indicator to indicate the vehicle 108 speed exceeding the predefined threshold speed limit.
[00113] FIG. 6 illustrates a communication system for service assistance, in

[00115] In an exemplary embodiment, in case of breakdown of the vehicle
108, the operator can actuate the actuator 402 of the vehicle device 106 to communicate with the corresponding service centre telecaller 304 for service assistance.

The processing engine 208 can include a matching engine 218. The processing engine 208 can receive the sensed first set of attributes and the sensed second set of attributes.
[00116] In an embodiment, the matching engine 218 can match the
received first set of attributes with a preconfigured dataset having plurality of predefined first set of attributes. The plurality of predefined first set of attributes can be stored in a memory unit 206. Based on matching, the processing engine 208 can generate a second alert signal 602 and can associate the generated second alert signal 602 with the sensed second set of attributes. The second set of attributes can be selected from group including, but not limited to, a telephone number, mobile number, SIM number, FMEI number, contact number, a chassis number, and a vehicle registration number. The second alert signal 602 can pertain to any or combination of a text message, an audio call, a video message, and a video call. The second alert signal 602 can be received by the corresponding
28

service center telecaller 304, such that the corresponding service center telecaller 304 can call back to the set of sensors 502 of the vehicle device 106 to resolve the query of the operator. The second alert signal 602 can activate the indicator. The indicator can pertain to any or combination of a sound indicator, ringtone, visual indicator, alarm, buzzer, LED, bulb, and the likes.
[00117] In an exemplary embodiment, a Public Safety Access Point (PSAP)

A PSAP generally can employ technical human operators who can be trained to solve problem depending on information received from the operator of the vehicle 108. The ability of PSAP equipment to display to the service centre telecaller 304 such information as unique identifier, say call back number of calling party, wireless carrier name, cell sector address or other location information. The second alert signal 602, received from operator, requiring service assistance can generally be routed to an assigned PSAP based on operator's instantaneous location by a selective router that can access PSAP database.
[00118] FIG. 7 illustrates a system for providing real time location of
vehicle, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
