Description

<Desc / Clms Page number 1>

The present invention relates to a device for the multidirectional transmission of information authorizing the activation, deactivation or automatic or semi-automatic tracking of an electric, electronic or mechanical system programmable independently.

The subject of the invention is the multidirectional transmission of information authorizing the activation, deactivation or automatic or semi-automatic identification, remotely of an electrical, electronic or mechanical system by means of radiocommunication tools of the GSM type, associated or not to a GPS, programmable independently. This system then makes it possible to start an electric, electronic or mechanical machine (alarm, air conditioning, light, automatic watering ...) to authorize or prohibit the starting of a vehicle, to activate an electrical system or electronics of a vehicle (warning, horn ...) or any other device without modification of said device ...

In addition, the multi-directional aspect allows the reception of information from the electrical, electronic or mechanical device such as an alarm, alert, breakdown, specific modification of the system ... or of any type of vehicle, on the existing communication such as wired telephone, GSM, Internet, minitel, iridium, etc., programmed by the user either via an SMS message, or by specific tone, or by voice message, independently.

In addition, this information sent or coming from the electrical, electronic or mechanical equipment or from a vehicle, can be programmed from time to time or cyclically by the user, so

 autonomous and without the use of intermediate transmission systems. The invention is based on a principle of multi-directional transmission making it possible to exchange information remotely, via the GSM network, authorizing the activation, deactivation, automatic or semi-automatic identification of electrical, electronic equipment. , mechanical or vehicle.

The system is fully autonomous, designed to be programmed either by the installer or directly by the user via a computer or a GSM phone.

The information transmitted to the module is recognized, stored and controlled by microprocessor in order to be used in real time in a predefined manner by the user in a punctual or repetitive manner.

The switchgear is integrated into an alarm, detection or alert system or compatible with any detection or alert alarm system for vehicles (12 / 24V) or homes.

There are several radiocommunication devices allowing remote control of apparatus or vehicle. Frequency and other standards have been established for radio transmission systems.

In addition, as regards the automobile or transport in general, there are radio-controlled systems which make it possible to act on a vehicle. However, these devices imply a relatively small distance between the reception and transmission modules, and also oblige the user to carry the corresponding transmitter on him. (Remote control)

 Anti-theft devices, now widespread on passenger vehicles, operate passively and automatically upon stopping the vehicle and only work with recognition by the receiver of the corresponding transmitter. (transponder) Mono-directional devices also exist for intervening at a long distance via the existing communication network, PAGER type, on a vehicle or an appliance but do not make it possible to receive information from the vehicle or the appliance.

Pluridirectional devices also exist, thanks to the GSM network, for activation, deactivation, or even tracking of vehicles or equipment, but they are subject to specific programming requiring an associated server center to receive or transmit, program and / or modify user configurations, see requires a specific subscription which makes it complex, costly, and subject to the host center.

The present invention relates to a multi-directional remote information transmission method allowing the activation of automatic or semi-automatic processes based on the fact that the module receives information via the GSM network, which it analyzes, stores and restores from punctual or cyclical in real time on a device or a vehicle on which it is installed, and that the module receives information via the GSM network, on four possible numbers either by sending SMS messages or by specific tone concerning the changes of vehicle or switchgear conditions (e.g. attempted theft, break-ins, air conditioning start or stop command,

<Desc / Clms Page number 4>

 automatic watering .....) in real time on an ad hoc or cyclical basis.

According to variants: - from a wired, cellular or minitel telephone or via the Internet or any other recognized terrestrial or satellite telephone system without the use of a computer server center or a telephone management center or other system intermediary created for this application and mandatory for the functioning of the system.

 - the information is communicated via the GSM network, either by SMS message or by specific tone according to the information provided by the peripherals attached to it; communications being in real time punctually or repeatedly on one and up to four different call numbers.

- the activation messages are received either without the knowledge of the user, or in full knowledge as needed.

photocopieur etc.... le tout à distance via le réseau GSM. il est compatible avec tout système de véhicule ou d'appareillage sans modification de son principe de fonctionnement initial. - it is applied either to the immobilization, to the restarting, to the slowing down or to the triggering of peripherals such as the warning or the horn or even the blocking of the doors etc., on a vehicle either to the stop or the setting in total or partial service of an electrical, electronic or mechanical device, to trigger or stop an air conditioning, to the possibility of starting or stopping a machine tool, a

photocopier etc .... all remotely via the GSM network. it is compatible with any vehicle or switchgear system without changing its initial operating principle.

 - it stores and redistributes its information as well as the reasons for processing information independently to any computer system connected to the network.

This information can be punctually or cyclically programmed from a computer or a mobile phone, by the installer or the user, and can be changed endlessly, autonomously by the user.

The user can program information or messages, known only to him, and protected by secret code.

The purpose of this information is to know the state of the equipment and to act remotely on its operating mode or to receive information from the equipment, remotely, in order to modify its operation in real time (for example, for a sprinkler system, know the humidity level and whether or not to trigger automatic sprinkling).

For a vehicle, if an intrusion attempt message is received, remotely activate the warning and / or the horn then, if there is an effective theft, request the engine to be switched off according to the criteria defined by the user .
