BiVVol RVR-325

The Bith Vehicle Voice Lock (BiVVoL) device is a computer module and locking system tied into a vehicle's main control computer and cross-linked to the main drive control package. A hand-held voice recognition link is used to program a series of syllables inot the deterrent control program; the computer can hold up to one minute of recorded data.

Thereafter, even if security is breached and access to the main power system is achieved, the would-be thief must first be aware of the BiVVoL program in place, and secondly be able to supply the proper coded sequence before ignition and flight control systems can be brought on-line.

It is difficult to forge this code short of using a sophisticated voice replicator capable of altering voice data to have the proper emphasis and tone. A failed attempt to fool a BiVVoL results in a computer lock-out until proof of the owner is established through a second identification system. The owner of the vehicle can customize the secondary identification system to datakeys or datachips, activation of a specific set of switches in the vehicle, activation of a specific computer sub-routine, or retinal, fingerprint or genetic code scans.

One of the best features of a BiVVoL system is the fact that it is not widespread (yet!). Few thieves suspect this sophisticated a system and lack the knowledge to defeat its safeguards. They are quite useful in delaying a thief long enough for bystanders to notice a suspicious theft attempt and foil their plans.
