STATE OF THE ART 100061 Currently, existing alarm systems signal a break-in or a threat that is occurring, by means of alarm transmitters such as a howler or an electro-flash, a device which can be seen if we are close to the facts.

They can also include a remote call function to clear up doubts and/or trigger on-site intervention.

100071 During a break-in, or a threat, and the crossing of zones protected by a device, whether on the periphery, perimeter, or volumetry, according to the wishes of the owner, or the manager of the premises, on a sensitive site , institutional, industrial, public, or private, equipped with an alarm center connected to audible, mute, or teletransmitted warning devices, is triggered.

100081 However, the exact localization of the facts is too often approximate and the intervening parties, law enforcement or private intervention service, waste a considerable amount of time for this reason and this is detrimental to the effectiveness of their intervention or even to their own safety.

100091 An object of the invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art.

In particular, the invention also aims to allow, on a monitored site, to locate precisely, quickly, at short or long distance, the location of current or recent events reported by an alarm system of any type. , and/or the location on which they must intervene. 11 may be, for example, burglary, threats, attacks on persons or property, private or public, institutional, industrial, commercial, Presentation of the invention

The electronic control circuit is then produced in the form of an electronic device or electronic box which is separate from the position signal transmitter, and transmits a transmission signal to it by an electrical or computer connection.

[0013] This electronic device may for example be a separate box, or an electronic device that can be inserted into a box of the alarm system, for example in the form of an electronic card.

[0014] Typically, the device comprises an electronic control circuit which is intended to be connected to an alarm system including one or more triggers so as to receive the activation signal from it, for example under the effect of detection or manual control or manual remote control.

It can also be an activation which becomes effective only on remote control, for example after removal of doubt or at the request of the participants.

[0023] The alarm system or the location device can thus be arranged to trigger (seP) the position signal transmitter (ESP) only: after the expiry of a determined period (BCm) after reception of the triggering signal (sD) by the control panel or activation signal (sa), and/or after receiving a remote command.

[0024] In the configuration of a delayed emission, the location device can integrate or be connected to a timer, which it uses to delay the triggering of the emission of smoke.

The system may also integrate or be connected to such a timer, which it uses to delay the activation of the tracking device.

[0025] In the configuration of an emission on command, the tracking device can be connected to a remote operator, from whom it receives a command which triggers the emission of smoke, immediately or after a timer.

The alarm system can also be connected to a remote operator, from whom it receives a command which triggers the activation of the tracking device, immediately or after a timer.

[0048] Detailed description of exemplary embodiments

The device is a device for locating, instantaneous or delayed, a threat against people, private or public property, coupled with any type of alarm system, alarm center, by the ejection a colored smoke-like substance, preferably a color in the green-yellow-orange-red spectrum, and/or including a fluorescent component.

[0050] During a break-in, or a threat, and the crossing of areas protected by an alarm system SYSA, SYSA', whether for example on the outskirts, perimeter D6, or volumetry D5, as desired from the owner, or from the manager of the premises, a CSA alarm center receives one or more triggering information from its triggers D1, D9 or detectors D2 to D8.

This may be, for example, premises or a building on a sensitive, institutional, industrial, public or private site, equipped with a CSA alarm center connected to SAI sound warning devices, SA2 light warning devices, and/or equipped mute or teletransmitted alarms are triggered.

Regardless of the type of trigger D1, D9 or detection D2 to D8, an activation signal sa is transmitted to the electronic control unit BC of the device which, according to a pre-defined time BCm by programming and depending on the requirements of the site and/or the threat, triggers an ESP position signal transmitter, here a smoke propulsion device, smoke generator.

[0052] The SPI smoke is ejected intermittently or continuously according to the wishes of the owner or manager.

[0053] In good weather, the optimal conditions are met for the smoke to be clearly visible.

[0054] Preferably, especially at night or in bad weather, an SP2, SP3, SP4 laser or an electrotlash or an SP5 directional spotlight, fixed or mobile, is triggered and illuminates the smoke, which makes the smoke more visible. . 7

[0055] In order not to alter the efficiency of the device, the external parts are designed and protected from runoff, splashes and ambient humidity.

Figure 1 is a diagram that illustrates an example of integration of the device to an alarm system of a known type monitoring a Bat building.

Its operation here includes the following steps:

[0057] 1 - a break-in or a threat occurs against a person, private or public property - the information is acquired at the level of the detectors D2 to D8 or triggers D1, D9.

[0058] 2- the detectors, whatever the detection mode, analyze the facts and transmit the data to the CSA alarm center via an SD signal.

[0059] 3 - the alarm center receives the information from the detectors and analyzes it.

It transmits the necessary commands to the alarm signal emission peripherals SA1 and SA2, in the form of an alarm emission signal scA.

[0060] 4 - the alarm transmitters start up: the howler SA1 is activated by the signal scA received from the CSA alarm unit, and the electroflash SA2 starts up, too, is activated by the signal scA received from the alarm center and starts

[0061] 6- the device receives the information transmitted by the alarm center and gives the order to the smoke ejector and the laser to start up

[0062] 7 - the smoke is ejected and the laser switched on, all according to a predefined time delay.

The device is both receiver and transmitter of information received from the alarm center, or detection devices which then transmit the information to one or more smoke ejection devices.

[0064] The shape and dimensions of the device are flexible and can evolve according to needs.

The power supply is made by batteries or batteries, or various accumulators, and of power adaptable to the site to be protected.

The information passing between the alarm center and the device will be transmitted by wire or radio, or wi-fi according to the wishes of the owner or manager and according to the place or places concerned.

The information transmitted between the device and the smoke ejection device will be transmitted by wire means, radio, or wi-fi according to the wishes of the owner or manager, and according to the place or places concerned.

The device is easily adaptable to any home automation system.

[0069] Figure 2 illustrates an example in which the DSPA locating device is supplied in the form of a box integrating the smoke emitter ESP or even the light signal, 8 and which can be directly connected to an existing alarm system THAT'S IT.

It can for example be compatible with or intended to be connected to the input port of a warning device, planned or existing, such as an SA2 electroflasher or an SA1 howler, or to the CAs output port of a CSA central designed to control such an alarm SA1 or SA2.

[0070] FIG. 3 illustrates an example in which the location device is autonomous and freed from any coupling to a complex and/or multi-component alarm system.

It can for example be made in the form of a box integrating the smoke emitter or even the light signal, and supplied with a manual remote control Dl and/or with an integrated detector Di

[0071] The location device can also be designed to be able to be installed on vehicles, for example maritime or terrestrial, such as boats, camper vans, trucks, coaches, etc.

When equipped, the device can reinforce geolocation beacon emissions used for tracking or surveillance, or triggered in an emergency to request help or rescue.

Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described and many adjustments can be made to these examples without departing from the scope of the invention.
