Description

ARRANGEMENT IN A CAR ALARM
Field of the invention
The present invention has been developed in connection with car alarms generally, but is intended to cover all the functions which often are related to extended defini¬ tions of the term alarm, it being comfort functions as locking doors, activation of windows and sun roof, open- ing of trunk lid, etc., or specific alarm functions being alerted upon breaking of windows, unauthorized movement in the coupe, etc., or so-called immobilization functions preventing start and/or driving of the vehicle.
Conseguently, the present invention relates to an arrangement for protecting av vehicle, especially an arrangement which is operated by means of coded signals, and more specifically a protecting device which is ope¬ rated by means of a remote control.
Prior Art
In connection with alarm systems for vehicles, for example cars, it has been common practice that such alarm systems are operated by means of a remote control.
Such remote controls communicate with the central alarm system which is mounted in the vehicle or the car, at a remote distance of up to approximate...y 15 m, and consti- tutes a handy expedient for arming and dearming the alarm system.
However, such a remote control can be lost or go astray, which involves that a locked vehicle having an activated alarm will have its alarm alerted when opening for example one of the car doors, even if this is opened by means of the usual door keys. In such an instance, there would exist a need for a further code generating unit, which in a quick and effective manner could generate coded signals similar to or as a supplement to those generated by means of the remote control, for thereby deactivating the alarm.
There has previously been suggested an extra nine digit keyboard which can be mounted within the reach of the driver's seat, but such a surplus keyboard would involve an increased cost and involve a certain space requirement in a dashboard which possibly is already equipped in a compact manner.
Summary of the invention
The basis of the present invention rests upon the task of providing an arrangement for protecting a vehicle, which in a simple manner can be used as emergency dearming of the alarm system, and which also can be used as an extra safety expedient in connection with the protecting system or the alarm arrangement of the car.
This task is resolved by an arrangement as stated in the preamble, which according to the invention is character- ized in that the device comprises auxiliary means adapted to the ignition means and allowing for generation of coded signals by means of an element acting as ignition key.
With the term ignition key it is here to be understood that element which usually can be used for switching on the ignition of the vehicle and for starting the motor of the vehicle, but it is also to be understood that such a "key"-element, even if it usually takes the form of a metal key, also can take other forms, for example as punched cards, magnetic cards, etc., which can communi¬ cate with what is defined as the ignition lock of the vessel .
More specifically the auxiliary means can be adapted in such a manner that they comprise flip-flop means arranged between said ignition means and the vehicle battery and comprising a visible/audible flip-flop indicator provided on the dashboard and indicating ignition on, the ignition key with its off-on-off sequence and sequentially induced flip-flop signals determining the coded signals.
It is here to be understood that the visible indicator can comprise a flashing lamp, but it can also be contem¬ plated digital displays having characters which in clear language depict the "personal" code which the user is to generate in order to achieve the required functions, and which code must be accepted by the main protection system itself.
Further features and advantages in connection with the present invention will appear from the following descrip¬ tion taken in connection with the appended drawings, as well as the appended patent claims.
Brief disclosure of the drawings
Figure 1 and Figure 2 illustrate a plan view of a remote control, being provided with and without a sliding switch, respectively.
Figure 3 is a connection diagram for a car alarm, wherein the arrangement according to the invention can be imple¬ mented.
Description of embodiments
In connection with car alarms which are operated by means of coded signals, and more specifically alarms being operated by means of a remote control, there are in con¬ nection with advanced car alarms delivered two remote controls, for example of the type which is illustrated in Figure 1 and Figure 2, respectively. The remote control illustrated in Figure 1 comprises a sliding switch 2 hav¬ ing three positions, whereas the remote control 3 in Figure 2 is without such a sliding switch.
Each of the remote controls are provided with two pres- sure switches, the remote control 1 comprising pressure switches 1A and 1B, whereas the remote control 3 in Figure 2 comprising correspondingly the pressure switches 3A and 3B.
In order to distinguish between the pressure switches arranged on the same remote control, the pressure switches 1A and 3A, respectively, are provided with a pronounced projection 4 in its centre.
The sliding switch 2 of the remote control 1 enables operation of up to three alarm systems, i.e. up to three different cars can be operated by the same remote control without introducing operational interference.
By means of such remote controls it is possible to set various alarm functions combined with comfort functions, for examples remote control of door locks, stepless operation of windows and sun roof, opening of trunk lid as well as a series of further functions, for example selected arming and dearming, as well as immobilization, etc.
The central unit of the alarm system as indicated by reference numeral 5 in Figure 3, comprises an advanced microprocessor which receives information through various trigger and detector inputs, as well as commands from the remote control of the user through an appropriate receiver .
The central unit 5 can by means of the remote control be programmed in a simple manner, such as to temporarily block the possibility of inputting new codes.
Further, the central unit could have a code memory, such that the programmed remote control codes remain in the memory of the alarm in case the voltage should vanish for a shorter or longer period of time. Further, the central unit could be provided with programs for automatic rearm¬ ing upon unintentional operation of the remote control within the communication range, i.e. the alarm should automatically cater for rearming and locking of doors after a certain period of time, if doors, hood or trunk lid remain unopened.
The alarm can also be chosen as passive or active, the passive arming involving that the arming will automati- cally take place after a certain time interval after the ignition has been switched off, and the last door, the hood or the trunk lid have been closed.
However, there could be a need for emergency dearming without the use of the remote control, for example if the remote control is lost or stolen and the vehicle is in a condition of alerted alarm.
When unlocking one of the doors and opening the same, the alarm will be triggered and the owner of the car, or the authorized user of the car, would then be in a need for switching off sirens and other alarm functions. According to the invention, this is effected by the illustrated embodiment by means of auxiliary means adapted to the ignition means 6 and allowing for generating coded sig¬ nals by means of the ignition key 7. Appropriately, the auxiliary means may comprise flip-flop means arranged between said ignition means and the vehicle battery and comprising a visible/audible flip- flop indicator provided on the dashboard and indicating ignition on, the ignition key with its off-on-off sequence and sequentially induced flip-flop signals dete¬ rmining the coded signals.
It is to be understood that said auxiliary means 9 com- municates with the central unit 5 of the car alarm itself, and that the activation of the auxiliary means 9 by means of the ignition key 7 can be used for for example: a) emergency dearming of parts of or the overall alarm system, especially when the remote control has been lost or stolen, b) loading of specific codes, for example for service and maintenance, or in connection with new remote control, c) loading of new codes, for example after service and maintenance, or in connection with increased or reduced number of common remote controls.
Said auxiliary means 9 can appropriately be adapted to, in connection with the central unit 5, substituting and/- or co-operating with one or more remote controls 1, 3, which entails further flexibility in connection with a previously discussed central alarm system.
Further, it is to be understood that the visible/audible indicator can be constituted by an indicator which by its audible/visible flashing provides acknowledgement signals and control signals during normal operation of the cen¬ tral unit, but which in response to appropriate signals from the ignition lock will have its modus changed for informing the user that coded signals can be generated by means of said ignition key. It is also to be understood that the visible/audible indicator can be constituted by other suitable means included in the electrical/electronic system in a vehicle or a car. For example the indicator may comprise digital displays for numbers, letters or characters, which in clear text can display both modus of the main alarm sys¬ tem and acknowledgement of the code for emergency dearm¬ ing or recoding which the user procures by means of the arrangement according to the invention.
