Abstract

When a parked vehicle anti-theft alarm is triggered, the system first calls the owner's cellular/mobile phone using a pre-stored number to notify of the alarm either via a voice message or via a SMS text message. If the thief successfully steals the vehicle, and the immobilizer is triggered to disable the Vehicle, a second call to owner may be made which may additionally include the vehicles location. The location may be determined by GPS system of the vehicles own navigation system. If there are more than one cellular/mobile phones configured for the alarm system, then the alarm system will call each phone number in order in which they are configured. Stored telephone numbers and other configuration data for the system may be entered using touch buttons or using touch screen technology by pressing displayed object icons.

Description

Description
Title: Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System What it does In the event that Vehicle thief breaks into your Vehicle -parked Vehicle -the Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System must call your cellular/mobile phone to notify you rather than triggering the usual warning noise.
If the thief successfiully steals the Vehicle, the immobilizer will at some point will disable the Vehicle.
The Vehicle location can then be traced using either the satellite navigation enabled cellular/mobile phone OR using satellite navigation system that comes with Vehicle could be used to send the whereabouts information to the Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System, which then make the second call to owner notifying him/her of its location -we favour the latter option.
If the owner is not available to pick the cellular/mobile phone up or perhaps switch the phone off, the alarm system should leave a message. The message might be I or 2 depending on when the owner picking up the phone. If the owner did not pick the phone up when the alarm system first call to notify him/her, then it leaves a message saying thus -Message 1: "The Vehicle with registration number AXYZ 1234 is being stolen from the parked spot at Anybody street, Post Code or ZIP code: NW9 2ZZ etc..." If the Vehicle now disable by immobilizer at some location, the second call will now be made normally and if the owner still not picking the phone, then the alarm system will now leave a second messages specifying the location of the disable Vehicle e.g. Message 2: "The Vehicle is now deactivated at Joe Blogg Street, Post Code or ZIP code: RM200 SDS -in front of the Train Station etc..." For this to work, at least one cellular/mobile phone should be entered in the alarm system console.
It should allow as many phones numbers as possible -perhaps four to six might be the maximum -and should allow editing or modification of cellular/mobile numbers. Therefore if more than one cellular/mobile phones are entered, the alarm system will call the numbers in order in which they are entered in the console i.e. call phone I, then 2, then 3 etc..
The alarm system can have option of forwarding SMS text message to the owner's cellular/mobile phone (s). The first text message to notify the owner that the Vehicle has being stolen -similar to the message above -message 1. The second text message will notify the owner of the location of the deactivated Vehicle -similar to message 2.
If there are more than one cellular/mobile numbers, then the alarm system will text these numbers in order in which they are configured in the console.
Design This should be easy to design as there are Vehicles that already come with land phone connection, so using this technique, the phone connection design could be modified to call cellular/mobile phone instead.
This the Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System must be designed in such a way that cellular/mobile number(s) to be called in the event of breaking into the Vehicle -be allowed to be input or entered onto it. Perhaps, it can be designed with configuration console that allows various data (e.g. phone numbers) to be entered. The configuration console must be enabled with password or secret code -see console design section.
Optional Design 12 ideas) Option 1: Some cellular/mobile phones come with satellite navigation, as a result, once the Vehicle immobilizer has deactivated the Vehicle and the Vehicle has stopped moving, the Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System will now send information of the Vehicle location the to the owner's satellite navigated cellular phone.
Option 2: This option should be a lot cheaper than option I above. This will not be using satellite navigated cellular phone. The Vehicle satellite navigation system that comes with every Vehicle could be used. The Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System should poll or get information of the Vehicle location -once it's immobilized -from the satellite navigation system. The alarm system will now make second call to the owner to alert him/her of the Vehicle location.
Note: The first call is when the alarm Vehicle system makes a call to notify the owner that his/her Vehicle has been stolen.
Console Design The console can be the size or dimension of car stereo. It should comes with necessary buttons and these should include Power On / Off button -this to power on or off the Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System.
Alternative design: to avoid designing the console with too many buttons, perhaps the console screen be designed similar to window -with good/high resolution, and each section to be configured can be in form of an icon. Therefore each icon will represent item or object that needs to be configured for correct operation of the Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System. Simply, an icon named password in the screen can be clicked upon to set the password, an icon named cellular/mobile phone(s) in the screen can be clicked upon to set the cellular/mobile phone(s) numbers etc...
With latter design i.e. the window, the configuration will need a pointing instrument when configuring an object e.g. a mouse, and since a mouse is not appropriate at this instance, then I will suggest Touch Screen type of window.
The configuration console must be enabled with password or secret code or pin number.
Optionally, the cellular/mobile phone can be incorporated with thnctionality that allows the alarm system to be power on/off remotely.
What Problems Would This Resolve To eliminate loud and annoying Vehicle alarm noise hence the noise pollution To notify the Vehicle owner of the theft hence, ample time to take proper steps to recover the Vehicle To easily track the location of the Vehicle once it is immobilized To reduce the level of vehicle theft To reduce the cost of using the police/insurance to retrieve stolen Vehicles To minimize the underutilise factor of the satellite navigation system. The satellite navigation can also be used to give information on the whereabouts or location of the immobilized stolen Vehicle.

Claims (1)

  1. Claims Title: Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System 1). If your packed
    vehicle has being broken into, the alarm system called Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System will, instead of making usual noise, call the owner's cellular/mobile phones notify him/her of the situation.
    2). The Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System comes with console or screen fitted to the dashboard that allows owner to enter or input cellular/mobile phone numbers. Minimum of one number and maximum perhaps can be four to six. The console can be designed with functional buttons OR window-like screen that is touch screen type with objects in the form of icons, and each icon represents each object or item that needs configuring for correct operations of the alarm system.
    3). The Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System will call the cellular/mobile phones in order in which they are configured in the console.
    4). The Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System will make instances of two phone calls to the specified numbers. The first instance is when the vehicle is first broken into and taken away, and the second instance is when the vehicle is deactivated by the immobilizer at some location. The second call will specify the location of the disable vehicle using satellite navigation to map by the location of the vehicle.
    5). If the owner is not available to answer the cellular/mobile phone(s), the Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System will leave a message. If he/she did not pick the phone up or not answering the first call, the Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System will leave a message, saying the vehicle has being stolen. For the second call, the Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System will leave a second message specifying the location of the disable car. If the owner does pick the phone, then the Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System will convey the information re.rdiiig the location of the disabled vehicle -us usual.
    6). The Phone Direct Vehicle Alarm System will come with SMS text functionality.
    The will allow SMS text to be sent to the owner should he/she not available to answer his/her phone(s). The functionality is optional.
