BACKGROUND
[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] Theft of vehicle is increasing day by day, generally, theft of many
vehicles is taken place mainly in big cities. Now-a-days not only motor bikes, but the big vehicles like cars, Lorries and trucks are also theft by the criminals. This is due to the lack of the security provision for the vehicles. The manual mechanical key based lock is the main drawback in the present vehicle systems. If somebody stolen the vehicle key, the engine of the vehicle. May be started easily. With the advancements in technology, computerised operations, central locking systems and keyless entry systems have been developed to enhance security of vehicles, however these systems may be hacked easily and enables an intruder to steal the vehicle easily.
[0004] Various techniques are available for tracking vehicle but having
enormous challenges. Vehicle security as well as tracking technologies have restricted functionalities and arrive at a high cost of production. Current vehicle tracking devices are not offering high level of identity verification as well as safety and security. Now a days due to central locking systems, the problem of identification of the car is easy as the thief may actuate the unlock button on the key and corresponding vehicle raises an unlocking sound and light pattern. This problem is even more alarming in parking lots where the keys are generally submitted to the parking lot personnel. In some case a thief may ask for any of the key claiming to be of his vehicle, then may pay the parking charges and may run
away with the vehicle after vehicle is identified remotely using the unlock button on the key. Presently there is no system or method for prevention of theft once the key is stolen/lost.
[0005] Nowadays accidents are increasing due to tire burst and punctured
tire, as till the time, the driver knows about the tire condition, the tire may be
punctured which may leads toward an accident especially on highways and
expressways. Therefore, a system is required to provide tire condition to the drive
before any misfortune happen. Also, while driving people focus on controlling air
conditioner, lights, music, these may distracts the driver from the road and may
lead to misfortune. Therefore, a system is required which may control various
components in the vehicle by receiving voice based instructions from the driver.
[0006] There is, therefore, a need to overcome above mentioned problems
by bringing a solution that facilitates preventing theft of a vehicle, also provides based assistance system to control one or more components of the vehicle.
