address is - S. No. 49, Plot 18 & 19, Chandan Nagar, Pune -14, INDIA
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the matter in which it is to be performed.

Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to automobiles and in particular to a system and method for vehicle safety device control systems and more specifically to a vehicle Biometric control system for controlling the single as well as plurality of vehicles locks and ignition activation wherein each of biometric unit fixed at the door lock and at ignition start point.
Background of the Invention
Many modern vehicles are equipped with remote door lock controls. The user is supplied with a remote transmitter that allows for locking and unlocking of vehicles and after that the user has to insert the key into the ignition and start the vehicle. It means the user have to carry two gadgets. One is the remote and the other is the key. Now these days, in some vehicles, they have combined a remote and the key in only one unit. Now there is a new gadget for automobiles i.e. keyless entry in which a gadget, which comes along with the vehicle. Each time you have to carry that gadget to access the vehicle. When that gadget comes in the certain radius of the vehicle, it transmits wireless signals to the vehicles control system and the vehicle unlocks. Once you enter the vehicle and press start button to start the engine. In this system, you have to carry that gadget along with you every time. However, the use of existing keyless entry does not overcome the difficulties experienced by the user because each time you have to carry the particular key or remote to access the vehicle.

Therefore, there is a need for a safe, authentic biometric recognition device that allows locking and unlocking of the vehicle as well as ignition of a single or multiple vehicles using a biometric system.
Often computerized systems use passwords and personal identification numbers (PIN) for user recognition. But to maintain security, passwords have to be changed on a regular basis, imposing a substantial burden on the users. Likewise, signature verification methods suffer from other shortcomings, including forgery and enrollment fraud. See for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,892,824 issued to Beatson et al.
As a result, identity recognition systems that use measures of an individual's biological phenomena-biometrics-have grown in recent years. Utilized alone or integrated with other technologies such as smart cards, encryption keys, and digital signatures, biometrics are expected to pervade nearly all aspects of the economy and our daily lives.
Several advanced technologies have been developed for biometric identification, including fingerprint recognition, retina and iris recognition, face recognition, and voice recognition. For example, Shockley et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,534,855, generally describes using biometric data, such as fingerprints, to authorize computer access for individuals. Scheidt et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,490,680, describes identity authentication using biometric data. Dulude et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,310,966, describes the use of fingerprints, hand geometry, iris and retina scans, and speech patterns as part of a biometric authentication certificate. Murakami et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,483,929, generally describes "physiological and

histological markers," including infra-red radiation, for biometric authentication. However, these types of technologies have penetrated only limited markets due to complicated and unfriendly acquisition modalities, sensitivity to environmental parameters (such as lighting conditions and background noise), and high cost. In addition, due to complicated acquisition procedures, the foregoing technologies usually require operator attendance.
The inclusion of the foregoing references in this Background is not an admission that they are prior art or analogous art with respect to the inventions disclosed herein. Alt references in this Background section are, however, hereby incorporated by reference as though fufty set out herein
Object of the Present Invention
It is therefore, an object of the present invention to present an individual system for a safe, authentic biometric recognition device that allows locking and unlocking and ignition of a single or multiple vehicles using a finger print recognition pad.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a biometric locking and ignition system for plurality of the vehicle owned by same owner in order to avoid the use of different keys or multiple remote sensing devices for each vehicle separately.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a user friendly and cost -effective biometric control system for opening the lock of the door and initiating the ignition process with biometnc device for both the purposes.

Therefore, the present invention aims at overcoming all the prior drawbacks of the systems in automobiles which was not able to allow the user to select the unique option to open the lock and start ignition of his vehicle by biometric control system
These and other aspects of the invention will become apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments taken in conjunction with the following drawings. As would be obvious to one skilled in the art, many variations and modifications of the invention may be affected without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the disclosure
Description of Drawings
Figure 1 illustrates the schematic drawing of an embodiment of the present invention as shown for vehicle door and ignition system.
Detailed Description of the Invention
The present invention relates to automobiles and in particular to a system and method for vehicle safety device control systems and more specifically to a vehicle Biometric control system for controlling the single as well as plurality of vehicles locks and ignition activation wherein each of biometric unit fixed at the door lock and at the ignition start point.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is now described in detail. Referring to the drawings, like numbers indicate like parts throughout the views

As shown in FIG. 1, one embodiment of the invention 10 is a vehicle. 12 is the engine, 14 is the door lock. Part 16A is the pad for scanning the finger print which is installed on the door. Part 16B is the pad for scanning the finger print to activate the ignition system on the dash board 24, 18 is the electronic control unit for biometric system. Part 20 is the start button, 22 is the ECM/ECU (engine control module/ engine control unit). Now, biometric door lock control apparatus 16A allows a user to control the door lock status by touching his or her finger on its surface. 16A is connected to apparatus 18 which is the electronic control unit for biometric system. When someone touches his or her finger on the pad 16A, it sends signals to the apparatus 18 and when part 18 receives the predetermined signals (such as specific thumb impression ) from the thumb recognition pad 16A, the control unit 18 causes the door locking system 14 to change the door lock status to "unlocked".
Once you gain access into the vehicle 10, apparatus 16B which is fixed on the dash board or steering or any other convenient place for the driver to put their finger on the apparatus 16B, it will again scan the finger print, match it with the predetermined data in apparatus 18 which is electronic control unit for biometric system and if it matches, then it will signal the apparatus 20 (ECU/ECM) to activate the ignition system and then push the start button and start the engine. After you drive to your specific location, just push the start button again to stop the engine, open the door, and lock all doors by pushing a button which is provided on the door from inside. After getting out of the vehicle, just close the door which is already locked. After this, to access the car again we have to go through the same procedure.

Finger print recognition pad 16A and 16B is provided in two different stages. 16A is just used for unlocking the doors and 16B is to activate the ignition system. The reason for this is because sometimes you leave the door open but you don't want to start the vehicle. If 16B would not have been installed, and if you would have left the door open, then anyone would start the ignition and drive off. In the described system both 16A and 16B go hand in hand to secure the system even better.
The system may keep an audit trail of each authorized entry into the car and ignition activation by each user in the family, which may be useful in assessing records of family members who are using the vehicle and also you can control the vehicle as uniquely as there will be one master finger print which will allow the system to make changes in its data such as adding or deleting finger prints.
This system can store as many as finger prints as you wish such as 200-500 or more. For example: you have a family of four and plus one chauffer. You can store all five independent finger print data. And if we replace the chauffer, we can delete the data of his prints and add the new one so that the previous chauffer will not be able to gain access into the vehicle.
There is one more important function which will allow us to keep control on the vehicle such as the speed or the acceleration of the vehicle. If we don't want our chauffer or anyone like our young family members to exceed the speed limit of 100 kmph or so, we will set the data accordingly that whenever anyone specified will access the vehicle with his finger prints, he will be able to drive without

exceeding the limited speed that has been pre-stored and the data can be edited with one master finger print which we have to set initially. In some vehicles, you can set the speed limit but then each driver has to drive with the same speed limit or you have to change the limit every time.
In this you can also create a temporary data storage facility for valet parking and for this you can set the speed limit as low as 20 - 30 kmph for safety of the vehicle.
The present invention is applicable to multiple vehicles wherein there will be a finger print based biometric lock and ignition system and can be operated by every authorized individual with unique finger print impression which can be recognized by the vehicle.
The above described embodiments are given as illustrative examples only. It will be readily appreciated that many deviations may be made from the specific embodiments disclosed in this specification without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is to be determined by the claims below rather than being limited to the specifically described embodiments above.
