Definitions
- This invention relates to a security system, in which a current supply circuit is provided with a number of battery cells and mounted in a casing for a replacement battery for a mobile telephone in a cellular radio network.
- the invention relates to a security system, in which a current supply circuit is provided with a number of battery cells and mounted in a casing for a replacement battery for a mobile telephone in a cellular radio network.
- An object with the invention is to avoid unnecessary interference with other equipment by the mobile telephone.
- Another object with the invention is to prevent that the presence of the mobile telephone is revealed to unauthorised persons. Further objects with the invention will be evident below from the description of the drawing.
- said current supply circuit includes signal receiving means, which are adapted to control a switching means for a supply voltage to the mobile telephone in order to provide a signal transmission between the latter and a supervision terminal in the security system.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment
- figure 2 is a block diagram of the embodiment in figure 1
- figure 3 is a supplementary perspective view.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment, in which a security system in accordance with the invention includes a current supply circuit 1, which in this example is provided with four battery cells 2, and which is mounted in a casing 3 for a replacement battery for a mobile telephone 4 in a cellular network.
- a current supply circuit 1 which in this example is provided with four battery cells 2, and which is mounted in a casing 3 for a replacement battery for a mobile telephone 4 in a cellular network.
- the current supply circuit 1 advantageously includes a signal receiving means 5, which is provided with a microprocessor, and which is adapted to control a switching means 6 for a supply voltage to the mobile telephone 4 and thereby providing a signal transmission between the latter and a supervision terminal 7 in the security system.
- the security system according to the invention can be used for automatically switching off the mobile telephone 4 when it is brought into a protected zone, and then the switching means 6 is adapted to switch off said supply voltage in response to an inhibiting signal received by the signal receiving means 5 from the supervision terminal 7.
- the signal receiving means includes an electroacoustical transducer, which is adapted to be influenced by signals inside or outside the audible interval.
- the signal receiving means 5 may alternatively be adapted to be influenced by capacitively transmitted signals, which are controlled from the supervision terminal 7, and then the electroacoustical transducer is replaced by a capacitor, which simply can be formed by a copper foil in a circuit board provided for the current supply circuit 1.
- the signals are preferably emitted in the frequency band 10-100 kHz.
- the security system according to the invention may also be used for automatically switching on the mobile telephone 4, when it is brought out from the above mentioned protected zone.
- the switching means 6 is arranged to switch on said supply voltage in response to an activation signal, which is received by the signal receiving means 5, and, as is described more detailed below, the current supply circuit 1 is supplemented by a control means for automatically switching on the mobile telephone 4, when the supply voltage is switched on by the switching means 6.
- the automatic switching off and on of the mobile telephone 4 in the security system according to the invention may for example be helpful for users under stress. They do not have to switch off the mobile telephone 4 manually, when this is brought into a conference room or a protected area in a hospital, and later have to switch on the mobile telephone manually.
- FIG. 3 is a supplementary perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the mobile telephone 4 in the security system according to the invention.
- the above mentioned control means is arranged for locking a turn-on button 8 of the mobile telephone 4 in a depressed position.
- the control means is a blocking device, which is arranged in a protective casing 9 for the mobile telephone 4 as an inwards directed protrusion 10, which automatically provides the blocking of the turn on button 8 in the depressed position, when the mobile telephone 4 has been pushed into the protective casing 9.
- the supervision terminal 7 may be stationary installed in a very limited protection zone with a local transmission between the terminal an the mobile telephone 4 via radio, capacitive coupling or sound inside or outside the audible interval, as described above.
- the supervision terminal 7 may be located anywhere in the cellular network of the mobile telephone 4.
- the signal receiving means 5 may be arranged to be influenced by such an acoustic signal of inaudible frequency, which normally appears in a closed room when a door or a window is opened, and which then will have the function of the above mentioned activation signal for turning on the supply voltage to the mobile telephone 4.
- the supervision terminal 7 is arranged to send a message to the mobile telephone and to receive a message confirming the receipt of the former, thereby being notified that said activation signal has occurred.
- the supervision terminal 7 is arranged to be able to automatically send a further message to the mobile telephone 4 as a response to the receipt of said confirmation in order to be able to be notified of said activation signal also the next time, as well as automatically send messages to a number of contact persons in response to the receipt of said confirmation.
- the supervision terminal 7 is optionally arranged to automatically receive a message with a geographical position of the mobile telephone 4 from e.g. a hidden place in a stolen car, the mobile telephone 4 then being a GSM telephone, said messages being SMS messages and the cellular network being arranged for computing said geographical position in a manner known per se.
- a GSM telephone for pocket use is adequate as a simple embodiment of the supervision terminal 7 in an application of the last mentioned kind, where the signal receiving means 5 is influenced by such an acoustic, inaudible signal which indicates that a door or a window is being opened in a closed room.
- the signal receiving means 5 is an electret microphone with an amplifier without filter for low frequencies.
- the same signal receiving means 5 may be used to be influenced by acoustical signals generated by an external alarm means, e.g. a distress alarm siren, an automatic fire alarm, a burglar alarm or a sound generator in a pager, to which the supervision terminal 7 is arranged to send a message.
- the signal receiving means 5 is arranged to be influenced indirectly by radio signals controlled from the supervision terminal 7.
- the electroacoustical transducer is supplemented or replaced by a pager receiver mounted in the casing 3 for the replacement battery for the mobile telephone 4. All technical details are well known to anyone skilled in the art and will therefore not be described in detail .
- the security system according to the invention can be embodied in many different ways within the scope of the appended claims.
- the battery cells 2 in the current supply circuit 1 are rechargeable and provided with an overcurrent protection 11, over which a control voltage can be obtained when the mobile telephone is being charged, the switching means 6 being arranged to be maintained in a connected state until the battery cells 2 have been charged.
- the signal receiving means 5 may be arranged to control the switching means 6 in such a manner, that the activation signals cause the supply voltage to the mobile telephone 4 to be turned on for e.g. one minute and then turned off with at least one repetition within a supervision period of e.g. four minutes.
- a break in a started signal transmission between the supervision terminal 7 and the mobile telephone 4 may be detected by the lack of repetition, and further the signal transmission may be coded in respect to different causes behind the activation signals. If you e.g.
- acoustic signal of inaudible kind which occur when a door or a window is opened in a closed room
- two, three and four repetitions within the supervision period may be used to indicate acoustical signals, which are generated by available embodiments of burglar alarm devices, fire alarms and distress alarm sirens, respectively.
