BACKGROUND
[0002] The 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] Continuous and long usage of vehicles can cause heat generation, especially if the
vehicle is deprived of proper cooling system. There can be multiple reasons for increase in engine
temperature which can cause outbreak of fire inside the engine chamber. Some of the reasons can
be leakage in cooling system, blockage to coolant circulation, broken water pump, and low level
of oil which can ultimately damage entire system of the automobiles or vehicles.
[0004] Excessive heat, smoke, and fire gas have been major problems associated with
engines of vehicles, for many years, which may lead to outbreak of fire. Due to which there is
significant loss in the property and a major risk in the surroundings. The engine gets heated up
which ultimately ruptures its internal parts causing accidents and fire in vehicles and automobiles.
Various fire extinguishing systems may reduce the risk of such situations but are practically
difficult to implement in the automobiles. The conventional art may not provide any means for
updating the user in the case of heat, smoke, and fire produced in the engine of automobile which
may result in the hazardous conditions.
[0005] There is a need to overcome the above problems of the prior art with a system which
reduces the risk of the fire due to immoderate amount of heat generation and which can be
embedded inside any automobile or vehicle making the user aware about any unusual situation
and alerting them accordingly.

[00050] In an embodiment, the processing engine(s) 208 can be implemented as a
combination of hardware and programming (for example, programmable instructions) to
implement one or more functionalities of the processing engine(s) 208. In examples described
10
herein, such combinations of hardware and programming may be implemented in several different
ways. For example, the programming for the processing engine(s) 208 may be processor
executable instructions stored on a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium and the
hardware for the processing engine(s) 208 may include a processing resource (for example, one or
more processors), to execute such instructions. In the present examples, the machine-readable
storage medium may store instructions that, when executed by the processing resource, implement
the processing engine(s) 208. In such examples, the processing unit 106 can include the machinereadable storage medium storing the instructions and the processing resource to execute the
instructions, or the machine-readable storage medium may be separate but accessible to the
processing unit 106 and the processing resource. In other examples, the processing engine(s) 208
may be implemented by electronic circuitry. The data 210 can include data that is either stored or

engine(s) 208.
[00051] As illustrated in FIG. 2, in an embodiment, the processing unit 106 can include one
or more processor(s) 202. The one or more processor(s) 202 can be implemented as one or more
microprocessors, microcomputers, microcontrollers, digital signal processors, central processing
units, logic circuitries, and/or any devices that manipulate data based on operational instructions.
Among other capabilities, the one or more processor(s) 202 are configured to fetch and execute
computer-readable instructions stored in a memory 204 of the processing unit 106. The memory
204 can store one or more computer-readable instructions or routines, which may be fetched and
executed to create or share the data units over a network service. The memory 204 can include any

[00052] In an embodiment, the processing unit 106 can also include an interface(s) 206. The
interface(s) 206 may include a variety of interfaces, for example, interfaces for data input and
output devices, referred to as I/O devices, storage devices, and the like. The interface(s) 206 may
facilitate communication of the Processing unit 106 with various devices coupled to the processing
unit 106. The interface(s) 206 may also provide a communication pathway for one or more
components of the processing unit 106. Examples of such components include, but are not limited
to, processing engine(s) 208 and data 210.
11
[00053] In an embodiment, the processing engine(s) 208 can be implemented as a
combination of hardware and programming (for example, programmable instructions) to
implement one or more functionalities of the processing engine(s) 208. In examples described
herein, such combinations of hardware and programming may be implemented in several different
ways. For example, the programming for the processing engine(s) 208 may be processor
executable instructions stored on a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium and the
hardware for the processing engine(s) 208 may include a processing resource (for example, one or
more processors), to execute such instructions. In the present examples, the machine-readable
storage medium may store instructions that, when executed by the processing resource, implement
the processing engine(s) 208. In such examples, the processing unit 106 can include the machinereadable storage medium storing the instructions and the processing resource to execute the
instructions, or the machine-readable storage medium may be separate but accessible to the
processing unit 106 and the processing resource. In other examples, the processing engine(s) 208
may be implemented by electronic circuitry. The data 210 can include data that is either stored or

engine(s) 208.
[00054] Further the processing unit 106 can include a signal generation unit 216, a
comparison unit 214 and other units 218.The comparison unit 214 can compare the received first
and second set of signals with a first data set having pre defined threshold limit associated with

generation unit 216 when at least one of the received first and second set of signals is beyond the
pre defined threshold limit.
[00055] In an embodiment, the comparison unit 214 can facilitate comparison of any or a
combination of the received first set of parameters from first set of sensors 102 and the received
second set of parameters from the second set of sensors 104 with a first dataset that can be
including pre-determined thresholds. In an embodiment, the set of alert signals can be generated
based on the comparison, where the set of alert signals can be indicative of status of heat, smoke,
temperature, fire gas, fire, spark parameters of the object. In another embodiment, a set of alert
signals can be generated when any or a combination of the received first set of parameters and the
received second set of parameters is found to be beyond the pre-determined thresholds. For
example, a set of alert signals can be generated based on the comparison of any or a combination
12
of the parameters associated thermally and the parameters associated with the combustion with the
first dataset. In case, the thermal and combustion parameters associated with the object, which are
sensed by the first set of sensors 102 and the second set of sensors 104, are found to be beyond the
pre-determined thresholds, then, the set of alert signals can be generated, and, further, can be
transmitted to the computing devices 108.
[00056] In an embodiment, the signal generation unit 216 associated with the processing
unit 106 can facilitate generation of a set alert signals. In an embodiment, the generated set of alert
signals can also be compared, along with any or a combination of the received first set of
parameters and received second set of parameters, with the first dataset, and correspondingly any
or a combination of alert signals can be generated. In an illustrative embodiment, a display unit
108 can be configured to process any or a combination of the set of status signals and the set of
alert signals to represent any or a combination of the sensed first set of parameters, the sensed
second set of parameters, the pre-determined threshold limits, comparison between the sensed first
set of parameters and the pre-determined threshold limits. In another illustrative embodiment, one
or more computing devices 108 can be registered with the proposed system 100, and whereby at
least one of the one or more computing devices 108 can receive any or a combination of the first
set of signals, the second set of signals and the set of alert signals, which can be processed by one
or more processors 202 of the one or more computing devices 108 so as to be represented, through
the means of graphics, texts, audio, video, and the likes, at the one or more computing devices
108.
[00057] FIG. 3 illustrates exemplary modules of a system in accordance with an
embodiment of the present disclosure.
[00058] In an embodiment the system 100 can include detectors like heat 102-1, smoke 102-
2, flame 104-1and fire gas 104-2 which can be placed inside engine cabinet of an automobile and
can be used for detection of fire at early stage and alert the user through a LCD display 108.The
LED's can be used to indicate the risk level as detected through heat detector 102-1 which can act
as first primary sensor. When the heat exceeds a threshold value the first LED blink and
recommendation to visit nearby service station can be provided to the user. The smoke detector
102-2 can be the second primary sensor to detect any smoke particles in the engine compartment.
In the case of smoke, a signal can be sent to the processing unit 106 and the second LED blinks.
In an embodiment, the flame detector 102-2 can be third primary sensor. The infrared rays can be
13
used by the flame detector 102-2 to detect the flame in the engine compartment. In the case of
flame, the signal can be transmitted to the processing unit 106 by which the third LED blinks and
can indicate the highest risk level so by the time the third LED starts blinking the doors of the
automobile can get unlocked including the child lock and a warning can be displayed to the user
to stop the vehicle within a given time after which the throttle valve gets closed and the engine can
be shut down by which the fire doesn’t get spread around the other parts of the vehicle. The
processing unit 106 which can be referred to as microcontroller can also be attached with a GPS
308 which at the time when the third LCD blinks can send the location of the automobile with a
message to the fire brigade 302 so that the automobile could not damage the other surrounding
vehicles or the vehicle could also be saved or the vehicle does not affect any surrounding objects
near the vehicle.
[00059] In an embodiment the system 100 can include components like heat detector 102-
1 where the average heat or temperature developed in the engine compartment can range between
90 C -105 C so high temperature range heat detector having a range of -20 C-120 C which can
be placed inside the bonnet of the automobile or in the engine compartment can be used. A theshold
value of 110C can be set for the heat detector operatively coupled with processing unit 106 which
can be referred as microcontroller. For example, whenever the temperature in the engine
compartment exceeds the threshold value the heat detector can sense the heat and send it to the
microcontroller 106 can be connected to a LCD display 108 and first LED can start blinking and
a message can be displayed on the display to visit the nearby service centre.
[00060] In an embodiment the system 100 can include components like smoke detector 104-
1 where smoke sensors can detect even a small amount of smoke in the engine compartment and
can be placed inside of the engine bonnet. The smoke sensors 104-1 can be adjusted to a optimum
range at which smoke sensors 104-1 can detect the smoke in the engine compartment and not
sensing the outside smoke. For example, if the smoke gets detected in the engine compartment the
smoke detector 104-1 can send a signal to the microcontroller 106. The microcontroller 106 can
make the second LED blink on the LCD display and if both the LED's starts blinking the risk level
gets increased and the user can receive warning and a message to visit the nearby service centre to
detect the problem.
[00061] In an embodiment the system 100 can include components like flame detector 102-
2 where the flame detector can use infrared rays to detect and respond to the presence of a flame
14
or fire, allowing flame detection. Even a small spark can be detected using infrared rays. The flame
detector 102-2 can be placed in the engine bonnet and the range of the detector can be set with
respect to the size of the engine compartment to remove the chances of detecting the outside
flames. For example, if the flame detector 102-2 detects a flame in the engine compartment, a
signal can be sent to the microcontroller and the LCD attached to the microcontroller can make
the third LCD blink; can be the highest danger or risk level of getting fire in the engine
compartment and in this case first of all the doors of the automobile can get unlocked including
the child lock and a warning can be displayed to the user to stop the vehicle within a given time
after which the throttle valve gets closed and the engine can be shut down by which the fire doesn’t
get spread around the other parts of the vehicle. The microcontroller 106 can also be attached with
a GPS 308 which can send the location of the automobile with a message to the fire brigade when
the third LCD blinks so that the automobile could not damage the other surrounding vehicles or
the vehicle could also be saved or the vehicle does not affect any surrounding objects near the
vehicle.
[00062] In an embodiment the system 100 can include components like fire gas detector
104-2 where the fire gas detector 104-2 can be used for detecting the combustible gases in the
engine compartment and can be placed in the engine bonnet and also is a full sure stage at which
the car is going to burn within small time by which we can escort the passenger out of the car as
soon as the third LCD start blinking and the passenger’s life can be saved.
[00063] In an embodiment the system 100 can include components like microcontroller 106
which can be the brain of the system. The components like heat detector 102-1 , smoke detector
104-1 , flame detector 102-2, fire gas detector 104-2, GPS 308 , fire brigade alarm 302, LCD
display 108 and door unlocking system 110 can be connected to the microcontroller which can
operate on fuzzy logic .For example, if the microcontroller 106 make the three LED's blink, doors
can remain permanently unlocked and to relock the doors the user can visit the nearby service
centre to get the doors relock and reset the whole fire detection system.
[00064] In an embodiment the system 100 can include components like Fire Brigade alarm
302.The alarm can use multiple devices to alert the user for cases like smoke, fire, or other such
emergencies through audio, image and video means. The fire alarm 302 can be motorized bells or
horns or sounders and can be activated by various detectors like heat, smoke, gas. For example, as
15
the fire or spark is detected inside the engine, the LED blinks and the message for alarm can be
sent to the user to stop the vehicle. The message can be in any form like audio, image, text etc.
[00065] In an embodiment the system 100 can include components like Global Positioning
System 308.The GPS 308 linked with microcontroller 106 can send the location of the vehicle
with any unusual condition related to fire danger to the emergency services helping the emergency
services to identify the location of the vehicle and provide proper check and repair, maintenance
for any danger situation. The instructions or programme for the led blinking for a value above a
threshold or pre determined value can be updated in the microcontroller.
