`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`0002) 1. Field of the Invention
`0003. The present invention relates to a method and a
`System apparatus for enabling authorized access to Secure
`areas or Systems.
`0004 2. Description of the Related Art
`0005 The prior art mechanical keyset systems, used
`Since the Roman times, are Vulnerable and may be used by
`any unauthorized perSon. This may occur if the owner of the
`keySet System loses it, or if it is copied. In addition, a
`professional Such as a lockSmith for example, can easily
`open the mechanical keySet, rendering it insecure and use
`leSS.
`0006 Prior art access systems used with conventional
`vehicle, for example, have a critical inherent shortcoming in
`that the keySets do not recognize an authorized user nor can
`they generate warning for the unauthorized use of the
`vehicle. Accordingly, anyone who has a key for example,
`can drive the vehicle without any interruption, making it
`possible to car-act the vehicle or kidnap a driver or owner
`of the vehicle after taking the key by force. More impor
`tantly, once a kidnapping occurs, and the victim is forced
`into a vehicle's enclosed compartment, Such as for example,
`the trunk of a vehicle, the conventional access System cannot
`and does not recognized this unauthorized access nor can it
`initiate possible counter measures. Further more, anyone
`with Some expertise can drive any conventional vehicle
`because they can control the conventional key very easily
`with an unauthorized key, Special instruments, or by forced
`connection of ignition circuit.
`0007 Recently developed prior art immobilizing systems
`may Solve Some of the above problems, but the Systems are
`only applicable to new pre-market vehicles from car manu
`facturers. Existing after market vehicles can not use these
`Systems. Other electronic warning devices for Vehicles uti
`lizing IF or RF signals are very easily paralyzed by discon
`nection of the power Supply circuit, and are useleSS when the
`remote controller or RF card is stolen or copied, or when the
`ignition circuit is jump started by force connection.
`0008 Conventional keyset systems for doors, safes,
`office filing cabinets, or military armaments are Vulnerable
`to an unauthorized copy or usage. With conventional acceSS
`Systems a Safe or a filing cabinet may be accessed without
`authorization, eXposing the contents therein to an unautho
`rized perSon, without the keySet System recognizing its
`unauthorized usage, compromising Security.
`0009. Therefore, conventional keyset systems such as a
`dial combination System, a keypad System or a mechanical
`
`key System are not safe. Most prior art accessing Systems
`require an expensive PC network to control various keySet
`acceSS functions, and further need a special identification
`card, which is Vulnerable to unauthorized copy or usage.
`This also places additional burden on the users to carry
`individual special ID cards for different secure systems or
`areas that require authorized access, increasing the probabil
`ity of their loss.
`0010. In addition to carrying or using conventional access
`Systems for authorized access to Secure areas or Systems,
`most individuals also carry Several different personal digital
`data Systems. These may for example be in the form of a
`bank credit card, a club membership cards, a driver license
`or an ID card
`0011. The prior art does not address the need for a simple
`and Secure authorized access System that can be used to
`acceSS Various Secure Systems or areas. Therefore, there
`remains a long Standing and continuing need for an advance
`ment in the art that can Simplify authorized access to
`different Secure Systems and areas without the burden of
`having to carry and account for the numerous authorized
`acceSS System cards, personal digital data Systems, or other
`mechanical acceSS units Such as for example keys, that an
`individual must carry to access Secure Systems or areas.
`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`0012. The present invention seeks to provide a method
`and an apparatus that enables authorized access to a multi
`tude of different Secure areas or Systems in a variety of ways.
`0013 The present invention further seeks to provide a
`method and an apparatus that enables authorized access to a
`multitude of different Secure areas or Systems that does not
`require any Specialty accessing mediums, Such as for
`example special ID cards.
`0014. The present invention also seeks to provide a
`method and an apparatus that enables authorized access to a
`multitude of different Secure areas or Systems that can use
`any personal digital data System to authorized access to
`various Secure areas or Systems.
`0015 The present invention further seeks to provide a
`method and an apparatus that enables authorized access to a
`multitude of different Secure areas or Systems that does not
`use an expensive PC network.
`0016. These goals are accomplished by providing a sys
`tem apparatus and a method that replaces conventional
`acceSS Systems with the user's personal digital data for
`authorized access to a multitude of Secure Systems or areas.
`0017. The present invention further seeks to provide a
`method and an apparatus that enables authorized access to a
`multitude of different Secure areas or Systems by replacing
`the conventional key with a user's personal digital data. The
`Secure areas or Systems controlled in a multiway, may
`include, but are not limited to, for example, a vehicle, a
`keySet for a Safe, an office filing cabinet, and military
`armamentS.
`0018. A significant advantage of the present invention is
`that users can control access to Secure areas or Systems, Such
`as for example vehicles, with their own digital data Systems
`that can be used for anti-caracking, a keyleSS ignition

`0032 The first digital data input means (101) may com
`prise of at least one or more personal digital data input
`element including, but not limited to, for example, a mag
`netic card reader, an IC card reader, a RF card reader, or a
`living bionics instrument of user Such as a biometrics

`0033. The second digital data input means (102) may
`comprise of at least one or more digital data inputs includ
`ing, but not limited to, for example, a keypad System for
`input of any character including, but not limited to, for

`
`example, a wireleSS telephone System, IF communication
`System or RF communication System for the wireleSS com
`munication or any and all combinations thereof.
`0037 Now an explanation of the operation of the present
`invention will be described. User may select from a plurality
`of a user's identification data according to the System
`configuration for the digital data input means (101, 102).
`They may input personal digital data through the first digital
`data input means (101) and or the Second digital data input
`means (102) to register the user's identification to be used as
`a key to enable the System operation.
`0.038
`For example, the system may be equipped with a
`magnetic card reader as the first digital input mans (101) and
`a keypad as the second digital input means(102). With this
`combination, the users register their identification data
`through the first digital data input means (101) with their
`own personal card Such as a bank's credit card or a club
`membership card that users always carry and want to use as
`a key, and their passwords through the Second digital data
`input means (102). The CPU (103) receives the ID data
`Signal from the first digital data input means (101) and the
`Second digital input means (102) and stores the digital data
`Signals to the memory means (104). After the registering of
`user's digital identification data, when at a later time users
`input this data through the digital data input means (101,
`102), the CPU (103) receives the data and compares it to
`what was read, if the data matches, the CPU (103) orders the
`control means (106) to activate a keyset (107) as pro
`grammed. However, if the read data are not same as the data
`stored in the memory means (104), the CPU shows an error
`in the display means (108) and remains silent.
`0.039 According to the pre-programmed protocol of the
`CPU (103), there are several different ways to control the
`System, depending on the personal digital data read. For
`example, if users Stored their card only with the first digital
`data input means (101), users can control the System with
`card only. In addition, if users Stored their password only
`with the Second digital data input means (102), users can
`control the System with password only. Furthermore, users
`may store their digital data both through the first and the
`second digital data input means (101.102) together. This will
`enable the users to control the system with two kinds of data
`together, both a personal digital data System, Such as for
`example, a credit card and a password. Depending on the
`type of the digital data input (101,102) being used, users can
`control the System in three-(3) ways according to the user's
`choice. This provides enhanced Security Since intruders
`would not know how the authorized users stored their data.
`0040 Another aspect of the present invention is that the
`System may be controlled or activated in a variety of
`different operating modes. For example, two Sets of identi
`fication data may be entered into the memory (104) through
`the digital data input means (101,102), each used to activate
`the unit in different modes. For instance, the first set of
`identification data may be used to activate the System in a
`normal operating mode, whereas the Second Set may be used
`to activate the System in an emergency mode.
`0041) To illustrate, a user may store data from one credit
`card with the first ID data input means (101) and or a
`password with the second ID data input means (102), both
`as a first Set of data for activation of the System in normal
`operating mode. The user may further Store a Second Set of
`
`data, for example, from another credit card and or a pass
`word number for an emergency situation in case of forced
`hand over of his or her card or password to an intruder.
`0042. If user inputs any card or password used for an
`emergency situation, the CPU will recognize the Situation by
`the input data and will control the System as a programmed
`emergency protocol. Manufacturers of the System can make
`various kinds of programs for a variety of different operating
`modes for authorized access to Secure Systems or areas that
`include, but are not limited to, for example, limited or
`temporary mode of operation or access, emergency, kidnap
`ping, and So on.
`0043. A safe is one specific example where the present
`invention may be used. In case of a theft, when the owner is
`forced to open the Safe by intruders, and the emergency data
`are entered by card and or password, the CPU (103) checks
`the data by comparing it with the data in the memory means
`(104) and controls the System for an appropriate counter
`measure. These may include, but are not limited to, for
`example, making a call to police and other pre-arranged
`numbers with the telephone system (109), and the activation
`of the recorder (114) of the safe to send the recorded
`message for immediate rescue. The CPU (103) further
`controls the microphone (113) to Send all voice signals,
`which happen at Site of the Safe, to the recording device of
`the police for Supporting the continuous rescue operation
`through a telephone system (109). When the telephone line
`to the safe is disconnected or tampered, the line sensor (110)
`coupled to the CPU (103) immediately detects the situation
`and the CPU activates a high-powered siren instantly so that
`any attempt to remove the Safe after disconnecting the
`telephone line is not possible. The same principle of opera
`tion may be applied to instances of house intrusions.
`0044) Hotel door lock systems are another specific
`example where the present invention may be used. Most
`Hotel front desk offices issue a check-in card for a guest after
`appropriate information with respect to hotel room door lock
`address and check-out time and date is digitally Stored. Upon
`receipt of the check-in card, a guest may then input the data
`of the check-in card in the first ID data input means (101)
`and enter any password in the Second ID input means (102)
`within the pre-programmed time of the CPU (103). The CPU
`(103) is then enabled to recognizes the password entered by
`the guest, and Stores the data in the memory means (104) to
`permit the password to be use as a key until the check-out
`time that was input by the check-in card. Hotel guests may
`use their own card as the above method by inserting another
`card in the first digital data input means (101) within the
`pre-programmed time after taking out the check-in card. AS
`the preferred method, hotel guests may use their own card
`key or password to open the door. This would allow the use
`of hotel room doors by the password system rather than the
`card key System, reducing the burden of carrying extra
`check-in cards, or even personal digital data cards or keys.
`0045 Referring to FIG. 2, the present invention provides
`a multiway control function for a vehicle with user's iden
`tification input. The System comprises the ID data input
`means (202) for controlling the CPU of the system; the
`keypad means (201) for controlling CPU of the system in
`addition to the ID data input means; a memory means (204)
`for Storing the digital data that the user inputted; a control
`board (206) for controlling the electric functions of the
`
`IPR2022-00602

`
`vehicle such as an ECU circuit (207), a distributor circuit
`(208), an ignition circuit (209), a power supply circuit (210),
`a power Steering circuit (211), a horn circuit (212), a lighting
`circuit (213) and an unlocking circuit for the trunk com
`portment of the vehicle according to the instruction signal
`from the CPU of the system, and a CPU (203) for controlling
`the System.
`0046) This system may additionally include a mobile
`communication System (225) for communicating between
`CPU (203) and outside designations with a GPS system
`(221), a microphone System (222) and camera system (223)
`for the visual communication; a door sensor (231) for
`detecting the opening of door; a driver seat Sensor (232) for
`detecting the absence of the driver; and a trunk Switcher
`(217) and diver's switcher (218) for activating the CPU
`(203) for driving at emergency situation mode as pre
`programmed.
`0047 Authorized users may register a personal digital
`identification data for normal driving, a Second personal
`digital identification data for an emergency situation, and
`another digital identification data for Valet parking through
`the data input means (201, 202) as described in the above
`method with respect to FIG. 1.
`0.048 Users can drive their vehicle with the normal
`driving card and or password in three-(3) ways as described
`above with respect to FIG. 1. For example, when users are
`forced to hand over the driving card and or password that
`was used as "key' to the vehicle to an intruder, the users give
`a card and or password used for emergency situation.
`0049 According to the pre-programmed protocol of the
`CPU (203), there are many different control methods that
`may be programmed by manufacturers in accordance with
`pre-programmed protocol of the CPU (203). If emergency
`data are entered through the data input means (201,202), the
`CPU will control the ignition system (209) of vehicle
`through the control board (206) to drive the vehicle in a
`normal manner for 20 Seconds only, and after 20 Seconds,
`the CPU commences control of all lighting system (213)
`(e.g. blinking), the horn (212) is accidentally operated, and
`the door of the trunk compartment (214) is automatically
`opened. The CPU then further controls the vehicle's engine
`to stop it by controlling the control board (206), which
`makes driving impossible. In the preferred operation, the
`vehicle moves for only 20 seconds driving distance from the
`accidental place where the intruder took the key by force.
`This is for the safety of the owner. Even if the owner is
`kidnapped and placed in the trunk compartment, the door of
`the trunk is automatically opened after a 20 Seconds drive for
`CSCC
`0050. This invention is also useful when the intruder
`forcedly opens the door of the vehicle during a temporally
`Stop situation. In that case if the door is opened, the door
`sensor (231) and the driver seat sensor (232) immediately
`detect the situation and Send an emergency Signal to the CPU
`(203) to turn off the engine through the control board (206)
`by disconnecting the power supply (210) of the vehicle. If
`the intruder further demands to drive the vehicle, the autho
`rized users can give the intruder a card and or a password
`used for emergency Situation for the emergency operation as
`described above.
`0051. Further more, if the authorized users are kidnapped
`and placed in the trunk compartment of the vehicle, they can
`
`be easily rescued because the trunk is automatically opened
`after a pre-programmed time, and also, a kidnapped perSon
`can control a trunk Switcher (217) for delivering a signal to
`CPU to drive the vehicle in emergency driving mode for
`rescue. In situations where the authorized users are forced by
`an intruder to drive, they can control the driver's switcher
`(208) for delivering a signal to CPU. The CPU (203)
`recognizes the Situation and drivers the vehicle in a pre
`programmed mode, Such as an emergency to pull up a
`bulletproof glass compartment between the guest Seat and
`the driver's Seat of the taxi, for example, and automatic lock
`of the door lock for the arrest of the intruder.
`0052. In addition to the above method, if the vehicle is
`additionally equipped with the mobile communication Sys
`tem (225) with GPS (221), microphone (222) and camera
`(223) for the communication, when emergency situation is
`detected, CPU (203) can control the communication system
`to Send a rescue message to pre-programmed designations
`and deliver the location data of the vehicle by GPS, and all
`audio and Video signal messages from the vehicle for
`tracing.
`0053 Another unique features of the present invention is
`the use of a card or password for Valet parking. When users
`want to Valet park, users insert their normal driving card or
`input their normal driving password in the data input means
`(201202). Once done, the users then insert and or input their
`Valet parking card or password within the time period
`programmed. The CPU (203) compares the signal inputted
`with the signal stored in the memory means (204), and if
`matched, CPU (203) permits the user to input a valid time
`for Valet parking Service by a signal of a display means (205)
`So that the user can input a certain valid time for Valet
`parking service with a keypad (202). The CPU will indicate
`by a signal that the Valet parking Service's valid time was
`Stored. Therefore, user can hand over the card or the
`password that the user Stored the operational valid time, to
`a Valet attendant So that the Valet attendant can drive the
`vehicle with a card or a password during the permitted time
`period only. The use of the card or the password is invalid
`after the valet service's valid time is passed by CPU.
`0054 As described, the significant advantage of the
`present invention is that it provides a System apparatus and
`a method for replacing the conventional key with a user's
`personal digital data that users always carry, eliminating the
`burden to carry or lose keys and the worries for memorizing
`or forgetting a complicated dial combinations of the con
`ventional System, as well as to provide the enhanced Security
`Standard by controlling the System with a digital data of
`user's choice in multiways.
`0055 Another aspect of the present invention is that users
`can control the vehicle in multiways with user's identifica
`tion entry for an anti-carjacking, a keyleSS ignition, a keyleSS
`Valet parking and an improved anti-thief of the vehicle by
`identification.
`0056 Yet another aspect of the present invention is to
`provide a new hotel door lock System that enables guests to
`use their own personal digital data Systems or password for
`unlocking hotel room doors to be free from the hotel key
`System and need not to carry anything extra for the entrance
`to a hotel room, providing the maximum convenience to the
`hotel guests.
