Helmet detection in truck with RFID

Abstract

A smart system for detecting the presence of a helmet in a vehicle is disclosed herein. The system comprises a first transceiver configured within a trunk of the vehicle. The first transceiver is configured to transmit a first detection signal on detecting the opening of the trunk of the vehicle. At least one second transceiver corresponds to at least one helmet provided on the body of the helmet. The second transceiver is configured to respond to the first detection signal with a response signal, wherein the response signal includes a unique identity marker corresponding to the helmet. A transmission device is configured to detect opening and closing of trunk to activate the first transceiver, subsequent to which the first detection signal is sent, and the transmission device is further configured to transmit information associated with the response signal to a base controller.

1 . A smart system for detecting presence of a helmet in a vehicle, the system comprising:
 a first transceiver, placed within a trunk of the vehicle, configured to:
 transmit a first detection signal on detecting the opening of the trunk of the vehicle to at least one second transceiver; 
   the at least one second transceiver, corresponding to at least one helmet to be placed within the trunk, provided on the body of the helmet, wherein the at least one second transceiver is configured to;
 respond to the first detection signal, received from the first transceiver, with a response signal, wherein the response signal includes a unique identity marker corresponding to the helmet; and 
   a transmission device configured to detect opening and closing of trunk to activate the first transceiver, subsequent to which the first detection signal is sent, and the transmission device is further configured to transmit information associated with the response signal to a base controller.   
     
     
         2 . The smart system according to  claim 1 , wherein the base controller is at least one of a user smart device and a central application server. 
     
     
         3 . The smart system according to  claim 1 , wherein the first transceiver and the at least one second transceiver are configured as an active circuit system. 
     
     
         4 . The smart system according to  claim 1 , wherein an absence of the response signal until a predetermined time period after the transmission of the first detection signal indicates absence of the helmet inside the trunk. 
     
     
         5 . The smart system according to  claim 1 , wherein the response signal containing the incorrect unique identity marker indicates absence of the helmet inside the trunk. 
     
     
         6 . The smart system according to  claim 1 , wherein the helmet further comprises a GPS module for facilitating tracking of helmet. 
     
     
         7 . The smart system according to  claim 1 , wherein the smart system employs at least one of Bluetooth communication protocol, ModBus communication protocol, Near-Field Communication protocol, LoRa communication protocol, 6LowPan communication protocol, and ZigBee communication protocol, for facilitating communication between the first transceiver, the at least one second transceiver, and the transmission device. 
     
     
         8 . The smart system according to  claim 1 , wherein the first and second transceivers include RFID coils. 
     
     
         9 . A method for detecting presence of a helmet in a vehicle, the method comprising:
 transmitting, via a first transceiver, a first detection signal on detecting the opening of the trunk of the vehicle;   responding, via at least one second transceiver, to the first detection signal with a response signal, wherein the response signal includes a unique identity marker corresponding to the helmet, wherein the at least one second transceiver corresponding to at least one helmet;   detecting, via a transmission device, opening and closing of trunk to activate the first transceiver, subsequent to which the first detection signal is sent; and   transmitting, via the transmission device, information associated with the response signal to a base controller.   
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the first transceiver is configured within a trunk of the vehicle. 
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the second transceiver is configured on or within a body of the at least one helmet. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the base controller is at least one of a user smart device and a central application server. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the first transceiver and the at least one second transceiver are configured as an active circuit system. 
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein absence of the response signal until a predetermined time period after the transmission of the first detection signal indicates absence of the helmet inside the trunk. 
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the response signal containing the incorrect unique identity marker indicates absence of the helmet inside the trunk. 
     
     
         16 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the helmet further comprises a GPS module for facilitating tracking of helmet. 
     
     
         17 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the smart system employs at least one of Bluetooth communication protocol, ModBus communication protocol, Near-Field Communication protocol, LoRa communication protocol, 6LowPan communication protocol, and ZigBee communication protocol, for facilitating communication between the first transceiver, the at least one second transceiver, and the transmission device.
