Abstract

An anti-theft system for a working machine, includes: a start-operation tool to issue an order to start a prime mover; an information obtaining device to obtain first information and second information; and a controller device having: a certification storage to store certification information; a start processor to obtain the order issued by the start-operation tool and to start the prime mover when the first information obtained by the information obtaining device is related to the certification information; and a registration processor to perform a registration process for registering the second information as the certification information. The registration processor allows the registration process before starting of the prime mover, and stops allowing the registration process after the starting of the prime mover.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An anti-theft system for a working machine, comprising:
a controller having a non-volatile memory configured to store certification information of a plurality of terminals;
a switch configured to switch to an OFF position providing no power to the controller, an ON position providing the power to the controller, and a START position providing, to the controller, a start command for starting a prime mover;
a communicator to receive first terminal information from a first terminal and second terminal information from a second terminal, wherein
the controller is configured or programmed, when the communicator receives the first terminal information same as the certification information stored in the memory,
to store the second terminal information, in addition to the first terminal information, as the certification information of the second terminal in the memory, which is received by the communicator in a time window after the switch switches from the OFF position to the ON position and before the switch switches from the ON position to the START position, and
not to store the second terminal information as the certification information of the second terminal in the memory, which is received by the communicator after the switch switches from the ON position to the START position.

2. The anti-theft system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the controller is configured or programmed, when the first terminal information is not stored as the certification information in the memory, not to store the second terminal information as the certification information of the second terminal in the memory.

3. The anti-theft system according to claim 1 , comprising:
a starter relay to start the prime mover after storing the second terminal information as the certification information of the second terminal in the memory.
