Description

Mobile warning device to avoid forgetting or object subtraction.

The present invention can be considered as a "virtual string" between a person and their objects personal

The functionality of the device consists of keep controlled / s continuously, a preset number of objects within a certain radius.

In case of positioning any of the objects outside the range of the device, it will notify your carrier.

Likewise, if the device carrier is away from any of its linked objects, likewise will warn.

Possible objects to control, since they can be susceptible to loss or subtraction: cell phones, PDA's, wallets, credit cards, keys, fountain pens, etc. Equally pet animals. also can be used to control products of an establishment. They can Be as many as your owner wants.

To designate the objects to be controlled, just we will have to adhere some small coded labels getting this way that they are linked to your device timer.

The labels have printed circuits designed to program infinite possible encodings. In this way the links of a device with its labels will be non-transferable. A basic preferred embodiment of the detector device (Fig-1 inside, and Fig-2 Fig-3 and Fig-4 outside views), is composed of (1) a plastic material box of a size similar to that of an MP4 or a small remote control opening doors. Inside, the following components are housed: (2) A 433.92 MHz radio frequency transmitter, (3) an idem receiver, (4) integrated emission antenna, (5) integrated reception antenna, (6) ) a 9-pin trinary microswitch strip, (7) an acoustic warning, (8) optical warning LED, (9) on-off operation indication LED, (11) on-off on / off microswitch and (10) ) a battery type 12v Gp23. All properly interconnected.

The device box (1) presents towards its Outside: (7) acoustic warning speaker, (8) led optical warning, (9) operation indication LED, (11) microswitch on and off on-off, (12) click cover for registration and replacement of battery, and (13) a hitch system or equivalent for fastening to belt, bracelet, pendant, key ring, etc.

The figures are represented in real scale 1: 1.

Optionally and improving the performance of the device you can add the following elements represented in the inner Fig-6, and Fig-7, Fig-8 and Fig-9 exterior views: (14) a vibration device, (15) a screen of display, (16) programming buttons, (17) volume-vibration control, and (18) input for battery charging plug if it is rechargeable.

This set of improvement options would lead to a more sophisticated device in which we can assign a number or a name for each label, so that the display shows identify the specific object that is outside the range Of the device. You can also opt for a rechargeable battery, although it would not be very precise because a daily consumption is expected very low. Logically this set of improvements will increase the size and The cost of the device. The demand in the market will be what determine the version or versions of units to be manufactured.

Labels with printed circuits coded (Fig-5) are of the flat type and of a Approximate size of a coin or stamp. They have a sheet adhesive or sticker (19) or a small clip, to fix them on the objects to be linked to the warning device.

The invention is intended in principle to operate with radio frequency waves, but can also lend the same functionality to its owner via Bluetooth system, which would result in another range of components in the manufacturing.

Functioning

Stick labels with printed circuit (19) on the object (s) to be controlled, the detector is activated with charge in the battery, from that moment the device will initiate a continuous emission of radio frequency waves that they arrive at the labels with the encoded circuits, these at their once they return or bounce the signal to the detector where it receives the signal the receiver.

While this cycle is taking place, no there will be a warning signal (Fig-10). In case of placing a tag encoded outside the given range of action, the device will continue to emit waves, but not being returned and caught in the receiver for not being within reach, is when the device will activate the acoustic and / or vibrating alarm, to alert its owner (Fig-11).
