Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
A control and monitoring system for vehicle fleets, comprising: at least one authorizer's electronic device for generation of an individual schedule for an individual driver; at least one individual driver's key-order media for registration of said individual schedule received from said authorizer's electronic device; an identification and data unit (VIDU) placed in each one of the vehicles, for recognizing said driver by means of said driver's individual key-order media and storing said driver's individual schedule; a data storage and communication unit (DSCU), placed at each fuel station providing service for said vehicle fleet; the DSCU unit being adapted to communicate with said VIDU unit for identification of said vehicle and said driver and checking said individual schedule before activating fuel pumps for fueling said vehicle, for collecting data on the fuel consumption and the individual schedule; a central computer connected to each of said data storage and communication units (DSCU) for collecting therefrom data on said individual schedules and fuel consumption to be stored in the central computer and further checked.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
171 words
A control and monitoring system for vehicle fleets, comprising: at least one authorizer's electronic device for generation of an individual schedule for an individual driver; at least one individual driver's key-order media for registration of said individual schedule received from said authorizer's electronic device; an identification and data unit (VIDU) placed in each one of the vehicles, for recognizing said driver by means of said driver's individual key-order media and storing said driver's individual schedule; a data storage and communication unit (DSCU), placed at each fuel station providing service for said vehicle fleet; the DSCU unit being adapted to communicate with said VIDU unit for identification of said vehicle and said driver and checking said individual schedule before activating fuel pumps for fueling said vehicle, for collecting data on the fuel consumption and the individual schedule; a central computer connected to each of said data storage and communication units (DSCU) for collecting therefrom data on said individual schedules and fuel consumption to be stored in the central computer and further checked.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
69 words
A control and monitoring system for vehicle fleets according to Claim 1, wherein said authorizer's electronic device is adapted to be temporarily connected to said central computer for entering there into information on said individual schedule for an individual driver, for comparing said information with the data transmitted to the central computer from at least one DSCU units with respect to said driver's individual schedule. 102768/2 - 14 -
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
53 words
A control and monitoring system according to Claim 2, wherein said central computer is adapted for transmittion to at least one of said data storage and communication units (DSCU) a signal initiated by a result of said comparison and intended for changing the driver's individual schedule stored in said at least one DSCU.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
63 words
The control system for vehicle fleets, as in claim 1, wherein said VIDU device is optionally provided with a sensors' unit for transmitting to said VIDU device data concerning said vehicle's working parameters; and said station control data storage and communication unit (DSCU) is capable to receive from said VIDU device, and then store, check and transmit said data to said central computer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
The control system for vehicle fleets, as in claim 1, wherein said authorizer's electronic device comprises a slot for inserting thereinto said individual key-order media in order to transfer said individual schedule from said authorizer's electronic device to said individual key-order media.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
49 words
The control system for vehicle fleets, as in claim 1, wherein said authorizer's electronic device for generation of individual schedule for an individual driver comprises a memory, a display, a key-board, a real-time clock and a communication port for communication with said central computer. 102768/2 - 15 - I
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
51 words
The control system for vehicle fleets, as in claim 6? wherein said authorizer's electronic device's memory is provided with a data base; and said data base comprises information concerning authorizers' identification and ' limitations, and also comprises a list of all schedules given to individual drivers by the same authorizer .
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
50 words
The control system for vehicle fleets, as in claim 1, wherein said individual schedule list comprises information such as: individual user's identification; authorizer's code provided with a time definition and a digital signature; codes of the authorized vehicles for use; limitations of fuel consumption, distance and duration of travel, etc.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
. The control system for vehicle fleets, as in claim 1, wherein said individual key-order media is a smart-card. 102768/2 - - 16 - 1
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
118 words
The control system for vehicle fleets, as in claim 4} wherein said identif cation and data unit (VIDU) placed in the vehicle comprises an identification unit for receiving and recognition of said key-order individual media; a memory for holding a data base and a control program; a sensors' unit for transmitting to said data base the appropriate information; a transmitters unit for transmitting the needed information to said station control data storage and communication * unit (DSCU) for recognition and allowing to fuel said vehicle at the fuel station; and an executive unit for preventing said vehicle to be started when said user is not authorized to use said vehicle or his individual schedule is not followed properly.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
65 words
The control system for vehicle fleets, as in claim 10 wherein said data base of said VIDU memory holds information such as data concerning a plurality of authorizers and their digital signatures; a plurality of authorized drivers, readings of milage and fuel gauges; and such working parameters of said vehicle, as motor RPM, shock indication, break indication, engine on/off indication, etc. 102768/2 - 17 -
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
109 words
The control system for vehicle fleets, as in claim 1, wherein said station control data storage and communication unit (DSCU) is provided with a detection unit for receiving information from said VIDU; a memory holding a data base and a control program for identification of said vehicle and said driver, check i ng . sa i d individual schedules and said data concerning said vehicle's working parameters; an executive unit for generating control signals to said fuel pump; a communication means for transmitting the stored information concerning fuel consumption and schedule, and optionally, said recognized vehicle's working parameters, to said central computer and vice versa.
