***New Product For Licensing, Manufacturing, and/or Investors***

U.S. Patent : #6,323,761

Inventor : Sam Mog Son

As attorney for the inventor of the innovative Optical Vehicular Security Access System we are currently seeking manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention.

The Optical Vehicular Security Access System is an optical recognition security system that will unlock the vehicles doors and or trunk by capturing an iris image pattern and performing a comparative analysis with a stored iris image pattern of the operator.

Objects of the present invention:

Now for the first time this unique product is available for millions of potential users. The low manufacturing cost is of major importance.

PATENT DRAWINGS
patent drawing
FIGURE 1

Figure 1 is an illustrative view of the present invention in use. Shown is the motor vehicle operator approaching the motor vehicle. The optical recognition vehicular security access system will capture an iris image when the door handle is tried and perform a comparative analysis with previously stored iris images. If the optical recognition vehicular security access system confirms the captured iris image pattern with the stored iris image pattern the motor vehicles doors will be unlocked. If the system detects insufficient ambient light to capture an image which can occur at night or in dimly lit interiors than the system will use an infrared lamp to capture the image.

Figure 2 is a top illustrative view showing the optical recognition vehicular security access system. The system provides means for triggering the capture of an iris image pattern using one or more motion detectors.

FIGURE 3

Figure 3 is a top illustrative view showing the present invention having a camera that detects the approaching individual.

FIGURE 4

Figure 4 is a top illustrative view showing that when the handle of the vehicle is grasped the interior lights will light, the camera will pivot to capture an iris image of the individual and after comparative analysis of stored iris images the door will be unlocked or an alarm will sound.

FIGURE 5

Figure 5 is a top illustrative view showing the handle being grasped and the alarm sounding because of attempted unauthorized access to the vehicle.

FIGURE 6

Figure 6 is a continued top illustrative view of the present invention which has performed a comparative analysis of the driver with a stored image pattern and has unlocked the vehicles doors. The driver positions themselves behind the wheel and engages a start button. The system determines that the driver is positioned within the drivers seat and the engine is turned on. While the vehicle is in motion the optical recognition vehicular security access system continuously scans the iris of the driver to determine the alertness of the driver.

FIGURE 7

Figure 7 is another top illustrative view of the invention showing the system having fiber optic cables which are used to transport light in the visible and infrared spectrums to the camera for capturing an iris image pattern to be used in comparative analysis of the stored image pattern upon verification of the captured image pattern with a stored image pattern to unlock the trunk.

FIGURE 8

Figure 8 is an interior illustrative view of the invention showing the interior audible alarm that will be triggered by if the driver is falling asleep. The system will determine unsafe conditions and trigger the braking system, bringing the vehicle to a halt. In addition, an audible alarm will be sounded to gain the attention of the driver.

FIGURE 9

Figure 9 is a front view of the alternate access keypad which can be used to gain access to the vehicles interior without having performed a comparative analysis. This may be necessary in the case of equipment failure such as computer failure or traffic accident. It can also be used to give other drivers access without entering the driver in the image directory.

FIGURE 10

Figure 10 is a perspective view of the programmable control keypad which can be used to instruct the security system to capture a number of images where a new driver is being added to the security system. It can also be used to add restriction to a driver on a temporary or permanent basis. The alternate driver could be restricted to operating the vehicle during specific hours. Also the system could be temporarily disabled, such as, when the vehicle is in for repair or a relative or friend is using the vehicle. It would not be necessary to add them to the image database just to drive to the store for a carton of milk.
