  • the triggering of an alarm may then depend on the positive check of the signal in the control unit as to whether the parked vehicle is in the alerting area.
  • the control unit also called control unit, needs information on their own whereabouts. For example, in a study commissioned by the federal civil defense agency (in Germany) regarding the use of radio clocks and alarm clocks with DCF77 receivers, it was assumed that users would enter a four-digit location code into the clocks when purchasing and change this code when changing locations (for holidays or traveling). That appears against the background of a possible high spatial resolution and in terms of handling as unrealistic.

  • the position of the motor vehicle at the time of the alarm should be known as accurately as possible, for example, to activate the sound sensors of only those vehicles which at that time are in the area determined by the alerting area information.

For example, if the Cell-ID of the received transmission towers can be related to location coordinates, the global position of the vehicle can be determined. This may require a table stored in the control unit of the coordinates of all transmission towers in the area to be covered (eg Germany, Europe). In densely spaced transmission towers (such as in urban areas), the self-locating on some hundred meters or better.
  • An increase of the Cell-ID based accuracy is possible, for example, in rural areas by runtime trilateration between module and transmitters.

  • This variant allows an accuracy with respect to the determination of the vehicle position, which is about one to two orders of magnitude higher than, for example, the possible determination of the target area based on the 14-bit data set of the DCF77 signal. If a self-localization comparable accuracy of the definition of the target area is to take place, this can be achieved, for example, by a larger number of alarm cycles - ie several successive 14-bit signal sequences at minute intervals - or by combined use of a GNSS and a mobile module.
  • the control unit can first evaluate the DCF77 signal, which may contain only a rough area specification, but also omitting all of the target area information only other control parameters can transmit (such as which types of vehicles to respond to the alarm , eg only public authority vehicles or similar). If an alarm is given and the vehicle is in the coarse target area as compared to the last stored GNSS coordinate (or a currently determined position), the control unit activates the mobile radio module.

  • the sound signal generator (colloquial designation "horn”), for example, the motor vehicles registered in Germany in the case of a large-scale damage or Dangerous situation triggered centrally and simultaneously by the competent reporting and situation center (MLZ) at regional or federal level, in order to alert the population by synchronous, loud honking - with wake-up effect (! - and thus the switching on of radios (TV , Radio, internet), so that the population carries out the warning announcements of the disaster control authorities.
  • horn the sound signal generator
  • the central long-wave transmitter DCF77 in Mainflingen time signal transmitter of the Physico-Technical Federal Institute in Braunschweig, PTB
  • comparable transmitters the nationwide distributed transmitters of mobile operators or communications satellites serve.
  • DCF77 modules or else e.g. Mobile radio modules are used.
  • the most powerful variant is the coupling of a receiving module to the eCall modules to be equipped into each EU vehicle from 2010, which will include a mobile radio (GSM / UMTS) and a navigation unit (GNSS, e.g., GPS, Galileo).
  • GSM mobile radio
  • GNSS navigation unit
  • Some embodiments according to the invention include the following components of a wake-up warning system based on car audio encoders.
  • the inventive scheme can also be implemented in software.
  • the implementation may be on a digital storage medium, in particular a floppy disk or a CD with electronically readable control signals that can interact with a programmable computer system such that the corresponding method is executed.
  • the invention thus also consists in a computer program product with program code stored on a machine-readable carrier for carrying out the method according to the invention when the computer program product runs on a computer.
  • the invention can thus be realized as a computer program with a program code for carrying out the method when the computer program product runs on a computer.
