Specification

DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present subject matter relates generally to a two-three wheeled vehicle, and, more particularly not specifically to a bio-metric user recognition system.
BACKGROUND
[0002] In general, a security system is required to protect various parts and functions of the vehicle. As the vehicle comprises of a body frame which acts as a skeleton for the vehicle that supports the vehicle loads. Generally, there are various kind of the body frame which extends rearward from a head tube. The front portion of the body frame connects a front wheel through one or more front suspension(s). Further, the body frame extends towards a rear portion of the vehicle. A rear wheel is connected to a frame assembly through one or more rear suspension(s). An engine assembly is mounted to the frame assembly of the vehicle. The engine assembly is functionally connected to the rear wheel, which provides the forward motion to the vehicle. Typically, plurality of panels is mounted to the frame assembly of the vehicle that covers various vehicle parts mounted thereon.
[0003] In this modern era where production and usage of vehicles are increasing exponentially, at the same time instances of using vehicles without the consent of the vehicle owners are also increasing. This unauthorized or illegal access by a third person became a big concern for all automobile manufactures. This concern needs an effective and sophisticated vehicle security system to be available in the vehicle.
[0004] Hence it is a continuous challenge for the automobile players to provide secure and reliable authorization system specially in two wheeler or three wheeler.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[00011] Various features and embodiments of the present invention here will be discernible from the following further description thereof, set out hereunder. According to an embodiment, pair of wheels is described here to operate a vehicle. The pair of wheels is installed in a step through type two or three wheeled vehicle typically called as motorcycle or trike. It is pertinent to note that the pair of wheels may be mounted in two wheeled vehicles in different arrangements. However, in the ensuing description, such pair of wheels is disposed at extreme ends of the step through type two wheeled vehicle. It is contemplated that the concepts of the present invention may be applied to other types of vehicles and other types of casting methods within the spirit and scope of this invention. Further "front" and "rear", and "left" and "right" referred to in the ensuing description of the illustrated embodiment refer to front and rear, and left and right directions as seen from a rear portion of the vehicle and looking forward. The detailed explanation of the constitution of parts other than the present invention which constitutes an essential part has been omitted at suitable places.
[00012] Generally, a vehicle manufactures put several number of parts and features in a two-wheeled vehicle or a two-wheeled vehicle while manufacturing and assembling the vehicle. Once the vehicle is ready to serve it’s purposes the vehicle manufacturer looks for a vehicle level security system to protect various parts and functions of the vehicle from theft or illegal usage by a third person. Hence, there is a need of a vehicle level security system which can ensure that only the authentic users or owner of the vehicle has the access of the vehicle and functions of the vehicle.
[00013] Conventionally, the above-said problem and other problems are solved by the vehicle manufactures by providing various kind of vehicle level security systems. Typically, in the two-wheeled vehicle or the two-wheeled vehicle various types of keys have been used for opening different locks present in the vehicle as a part of vehicle level security systems. In general, these types of keys are mechanical keys, electronic keys, coded keys, key fobs and many others. The mechanical keys are having a key to open the lock present on different parts of the vehicle. The electronic keys work through a remote signal transmitter which can open the lock present on different parts of the vehicle from a certain distance away from the vehicle. The coded keys comprises a number pad or alphabet pad or combination of both number and alphabet pad for entering the code into pad to open the locks of the vehicle.
[00014] In first case of mechanical keys anybody can operate or use the vehicle without the knowledge of the true owner of the vehicle once the person get the access of mechanical keys either through legal or non-legal means as mechanical keys are not very difficult to override by making duplicate keys. Further, if the key got lost or damaged or misplaced then the user cannot use the mechanical keys. Furthermore, with constant use over time mechanical key also wear out or break down.
[00015] In second case of electronic keys, the opening of the lock is totally dependent of a transmitter and same like the mechanical keys once the person gets the access of the transmitter either through legal or non-legal means then the person can operate or use the vehicle without the knowledge of the true owner of the vehicle. Further, if the range of the transmitter or the remote signal transmitter got reduced significantly then again the lock is not going to open by the electronic key in initials attempt.
[00016] In third case of coded keys, if the person forgets the code then the person cannot open the lock or if the person get to know about. Further with the presence of dust, wind, water droplets or any foreign materials there is a possibility that these pad would not work effectively. Therefore, there is a need for a system that allows access to the various parts and features of the vehicle only to the true owner or user of the vehicle. Further, there is a need for a safe, authentic system that allows the vehicle to adjust its features in accordance with the user requirements in case of more than single user for the particular vehicle.
[00017] In general state of art, the research is underway to solve the above-said problems by developing the biometric system for two-three wheeled vehicle. For example, in existing state of art there are biometric system available for two-wheeled vehicle. However, the existing state of art fails to disclose about the accessibility of biometric system for the driver on the vehicle. Typically existing biometric system are combined with the display console or the instrument panel of the vehicle, which make the packaging and a wiring harness of biometric system complex and susceptible to failure. In such disposition, since the handle bar or steering of the vehicle is steered with respect to the rest of the vehicle, the wiring harness of biometric system experiences turning forces which can cause damage to the wiring harness over time. Further, due to the application of turning forces on the wiring harness, the wiring harness leads to poor durability and exposed to wire tampering by unauthorized person which can leave the vehicle owner stranded. The disposition of a biometric system on the side panel or any other rear portion of the vehicle bring in a limitation of access comfort as well as cannot be operated while riding to enable accessing all functions of the vehicle. Thus there is a need to package the biometric system in a saddle type two or three wheeled vehicle which can overcome the above mentioned limitations and drawbacks.
[00018] Moreover, in some of the known art, the biometric system or the biometric accessory ignition lock devices are available which can be disposed at different locations on the bike. While such systems have only engine ignition access and they do not provide complete anti-theft security including vehicle steering lock, owner ID confirmation, and other locks on the system, etc. as an integrated security system. Such devices itself may be tampered or security system firewall can be breached by unauthorized person. Thus there is additional need to have a robust theft, tamper as well as breach proof security system for a saddle type vehicle.
[00019] Further, in state of the art related to four wheeled vehicles, there are vehicles having biometric systems. But in four wheeled vehicles also accessibility is the issue. As the biometric system in general is located on the door of the vehicle which in few cases become difficult for the driver to access. For instance, when driver wants to use the other features of the four wheeled vehicle which are linked through the biometric system and for activating those features there is a requirement to provide biometric details second time, in such case the biometric system access becomes tough for the driver as the biometric system is only disposed on the door of the vehicle.
[00020] Generally, in fixed orientation of the senor unit configured to respond to the pre scanned area of skin the orientation of finger in a vertical or horizontal direction is important as because of acceptance rate .So placement of biometric system on handle bar is difficult to access when vehicle is in locked condition, as the ergonomically the behavior of left and right handed persons varies and hence it becomes challenge for automobile players to place biometric system in such a position so as to maintain a balance between both right and left handed persons.
[00021] Further, the understandability and visibility of plurality of features as per cognitive ergonomics is important because of that layout of bio-metric user recognition system in primary cone of vision is important factor. Moreover, in know prior art, placement of bio-metric user recognition system away from the body may cause more fatigue which leads to muscoskeletal disorder. So in order to address the above said problems and other problems, the present subject matter is providing a bio-metric user recognition system which is disposed in a place that is easily accessible and visible to a rider/driver when mounted on the vehicle. Moreover, the bio-metric user recognition system disposed on the vehicle such that the connection or coupling between the connecting wires of the bio-metric user recognition system to an another electronic device of the vehicle for communication is disposed substantially behind the handle bar axis passing from the centre of handle bar, substantially ahead of the seat assembly and substantially above an imaginary line joining the front and rear wheel axis i.e. wheel axis. With the presence of the bio-metric user recognition system on the two-wheeled vehicle or the three-wheeled vehicle, the owner or user of the vehicle will get an assurity that the vehicle or the functions of vehicle are inaccessible by any third person without his consent. Here, the substantial point is the location of the bio-metric user recognition system on the two-wheeled vehicle or the three-wheeled vehicle. Further, the bio-metric user recognition system provides user-centric feature in the vehicle where the vehicle automatically adjusts the seat assembly height and other functions of the vehicle as per the convenience of the user or driver of the vehicle just though a recognition provided by the bio-metric user recognition system. Further the mounting of the biometric user recognition system on fuel tank assembly is very close to the body hence less fatigue to body which avoid any muscoskeletal disorder.
