US 12,397,744 B2 · Theft prevention system and method

Abstract

A fuel theft prevention system for a vehicle including: at least one processor; and a memory, operatively connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to: receive, from a first sensing system, first activity data; determine, based on the first activity data, a first confidence value indicative of whether the activity is suspicious; receive fuel data indicative of a fuel level in the fuel tank; and cause, based on the first activity data and the fuel data, at least one mitigation action to be taken when the fuel level decreases by a threshold amount, wherein the threshold amount includes a first amount when the first confidence value is a first value and a second amount when the first confidence value is below the first value, and wherein the second amount is greater than the first amount.

Dependent claims

A fluid theft prevention system for a vehicle, the fluid theft prevention system comprising:

at least one processor;
and
a memory, operatively connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform a method, the method comprising:
receiving, from a first sensing system, first activity data about activity near a fluid tank of the vehicle;
determining, based on the first activity data, a first confidence value indicative of whether the activity is suspicious;
receiving fluid data indicative of a fluid level in the fluid tank;
and
causing, based on the first activity data and the fluid data, at least one mitigation action to be taken when the fluid level decreases by a threshold amount, wherein the threshold amount comprises a first amount when the first confidence value is a first value and a second amount when the first confidence value is below the first value, and wherein the second amount is greater than the first amount.

and
a memory, operatively connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform a method, the method comprising:
receiving, from a sensing system, first activity data about activity near a fluid tank of the vehicle;
determining, based on the first activity data, a first confidence value indicative of whether the activity is suspicious;
receiving fluid data indicative of a fluid level in the fluid tank;
receiving location information of a driver identity device;
determining, based on the location information, whether the driver identity device is in proximity with the vehicle;
causing:
a first mitigation action to be taken when the first confidence value exceeds a first confidence threshold value and the driver identity device is not in proximity with the vehicle;
and
the at least one mitigation action to not be taken when the first confidence value exceeds the first confidence threshold value and the driver identity device is in proximity with the vehicle;
and
causing, based on the first activity data and the fluid data, a second mitigation action to be taken when the fluid level decreases by a threshold amount, the threshold amount comprises a first amount when the first confidence value exceeds the first confidence threshold value and a second amount when the confidence value is below the first confidence threshold value, and wherein the second amount is more than the first amount.
