Abstract

We present a proposal for a generic vehicle anti-theft system. The system has two parts – a platform located in the protected object and a user interface on a user’s phone or computer. A specific system is described in an XML fie, which is made by an anti-theft system designer using an interface described in this paper. High-level code to run on the protected object portion of the system is automatically generated from the XML description. After a system is deployed to a protected object, the user (owner, police, etc.) interacts with the protected device through a user interface described in this paper and can read status of the protected object as well as control devices on the object. The user interface is also generated automatically from the XML description. The system is generic and could be used to describe anti-theft systems for a variety of types of objects such as cars, trucks, boats, ATM machines, shipping containers, and others.
