Description

SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROTECTING PREMISES WITH ELECTRONIC ALARM AND TELEPHONE

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATION

This application relates to and claims priority on provisional application serial number 60/071,005 filed January 13, 1998 and entitled "Electronic Alarm with Cellular Telephone."

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to electronic alarm systems for mobile or stationary installations. More specifically, the present invention is directed to an alarm system that activates a wireless telephone when triggered.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The known art comprises electronic alarm systems for mobile installations (i.e., vehicles), that when triggered will activate the vehicle's sirens, horn, lights, and may also deactivate the ignition. The known art also comprises alarm systems with remote controls with a range of approximately 30 meters, which can activate or deactivate the alarm system. The known art also comprises vehicle alarm systems which are connected to telephone systems so as to transmit emergency information to a remote location. For example, United States Patent Nos. 4,821 ,309 to Namekawa, 5,081,667 to Drori et al., and 5,357,560 to Nykerk disclose vehicle alarms using cellular telephone systems. Also known in the electronic arts are security devices which may be installed in vehicles that enable the vehicle to be tracked if it is stolen. Such devices commonly employ a receiver or a transmitter and may utilize GPS (global positioning system) for tracking vehicles. For example, United States Patent Nos. 5,223,844 to Mansell et al., 5,515,043 to Berard et al., 5,555,286 to Tendler and 5,686,910 to Timm et al. are directed to vehicle tracking systems with GPS.

The known art also comprises alarm systems for stationary installations (i.e., buildings), that when triggered will activate sirens, horns, lights, closed circuit television, etc. in the building.

The known art also comprises alarm systems that when triggered may call a land and/or cellular telephone line to alert the owner or others. For example, United States Patent Nos. Re. 32,856 to Millsap et al., 4,887,291 to Stillwell, 5,131,019 to Sheffer et al., and 5,517,547 to Ladha et al. are directed to alarm systems for buildings that activate cellular and/or land line telephones. United States Patent No. 5,568,535 to Sheffer et al. is directed to an alarm system connected to a cellular phone that may be used to protect both vehicles and buildings.

These electronic alarm systems in the known art have limitations, however. The devices of Namekawa, Drori et al, and Nykerk are for use only in vehicles, not in buildings, and further, do not provide a tracking mechanism for locating the vehicle. The devices of Mansell et al.,

Berard et al., Tendler and Timm et al. are also for use only in vehicles, not in buildings. Although the devices of Mansell et al., Berard et al., Tendler and Timm et al. do employ tracking mechanisms for locating the vehicle, the devices use GPS. In contrast, the present invention uses a wireless phone transmission to permit tracking and location of the vehicle, which is a much less expensive method than GPS .

Known alarm systems for buildings, such as those to Millsap et al., Stillwell, Sheffer et al. ('019), and Ladha, are not adapted for use alternatively in vehicles, and do not employ transmitters to communicate location information..

Some systems, such as Millsap et al., Berard, Ladha and Sheffer et al. ('535), use microprocessors for directing the system functions. This is much more expensive to manufacture than the combination of discrete off-the-shelf components used in the present invention.

Applicant is aware of additional references that relate to electronic emergency devices for a variety of applications, for example, United States Patent Nos.4,904,983 to Mitchell, 5,319,698 to Glidewell et al., 5,337,342 to Kruger et al., 5,542,100 to Hatakeyama, and 5,563,931 to Bishop et al. These devices have features unrelated to those of the present invention.

The present invention is directed to a multi-purpose electronic alarm system with a telephone component to the system that addresses certain limitations in the existing art and provides unique, useful features. For example, the present invention is adapted to be used both in vehicles, such as cars, trucks, boats, airplanes, and also in buildings, such as houses, apartments, commercial buildings, warehouses, etc. By using discrete off-the-shelf integrated circuits and other devices, the present invention is inexpensive to manufacture. Also, use of a wireless telephone in the present invention for vehicle tracking and location is much less expensive than use of a GPS system. When the alarm system of the present invention is activated, in addition to the usual functions of deactivating the ignition in a vehicle and/or turning on the lights, sirens, horn, closed circuit television, telephone answering machine, electric doors and windows, computers, fax modem, etc., it will also notify the owner or other authorized persons via wireless and/or land line telephone. The alarm system of the present invention can activate the telephone component to call up to 12 different pre-programmed telephone numbers. When the alarm system of the present invention is triggered, it generates a specific tone via the wireless and/or land line telephone. This tone alerts the owner or other person(s) on the call list that the alarm system has been triggered. The alarm system of the present invention can also be telephoned by authorized persons to establish communication through the telephone component of the alarm system. Such communication can occur without activating the rest of the circuits connected to the alarm system. The owner, in the vehicle or building where the alarm system is installed, will be alerted to the incoming call by a blinking light or buzzer for a certain length of time. Audio communication is made through a hidden microphone and connected to the audio system of the telephone through a plug.

If a vehicle equipped with the alarm system of the present invention is stolen or the owner forgot to activate the alarm system in a vehicle or building, then the owner may activate the alarm system via wireless or land line telephone from any distance away from the alarm system. The owner can deactivate the ignition of the vehicle or activate any circuit such as the sirens, lights, doors, windows, closed circuit televisions, computers, fax modems, etc. The owner can also hear what is going on in the vehicle or building in order to obtain more information about a theft or break-in. In addition, the location of a vehicle with the alarm system of the present invention can be determined through a transmitter and antenna installed in the vehicle. Normal telephone calls can be made from the alarm system by pressing a button without activating the rest of the circuits of the system. Communication can be established through the hidden microphone.

Emergency telephone calls can be made to designated numbers or to a security monitoring service authorized to receive such emergency calls by pressing a strategically-hidden activator located on the alarm system. This is particularly useful if the owner is under threat of attack in the vehicle or building where the alarm system is installed.

The alarm system of the present invention may connect a keyboard through the interface circuit which enables the user to make a non-emergency telephone call. Each time the user opens a door connected to the detector circuit of the alarm system, whether installed in a vehicle or a building, or activates an activator connected in parallel with the keyboard, the keyboard is blocked and cannot be used to make a telephone call. In order to unblock the keyboard and make a telephone call, the user must then enter a code or sequence into the keyboard. This function of blocking keyboard use prevents an intruder or car-jacker from using the keyboard to make a telephone call.

The keyboard blocking function and activation of the alarm system may also be initiated by the user's activating any activator of the alarm system for approximately six seconds. The alarm system of the present invention may use the telephone display to indicate messages received, the time, the date, a calendar, etc. and may have an analog-digital circuit to interface with signals from the protected premises. For example, the alarm system may convert the analog signals from a vehicle, including temperature, oil pressure, gasoline, speed, movement of the pistons, etc., into digital data which are then sent via the telephone system as tones to one or more pre-programmed telephone numbers. The data received in tones may be received with a tone receiver, and a computer with an appropriate program at the receiving end may process and monitor these data, from any remote location.

In addition, using the telephone system, the alarm system of the present invention may communicate information about detected emergency conditions over the Internet.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an electronic alarm system that may be used for both vehicles and buildings.

It is another object of the present invention to provide an electronic alarm system that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide an electronic alarm system that is electronically linked to a wireless or land line telephone.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide an electronic alarm system that may be programmed to call designated telephone numbers when triggered. It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an electronic alarm system that can be programmed to automatically activate and deactivate electronic systems, such as lights, horns, sirens, ignitions, closed circuit televisions, telephone answering machines, electric doors and windows, computers, fax modems, etc., in both vehicles and buildings.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide an electronic alarm system that contains a microphone capable of transmitting audio from the vehicle or building where the alarm system is installed, via the telephone system. It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide an electronic alarm system for vehicles with a transmitter to assist in locating the vehicle if stolen or car-jacked.

It is still a further object of the present invention to provide an electronic alarm system that can notify the owner at any distance away from the alarm system installation, through the telephone system.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide an electronic alarm system having a activator that activates a microphone, allowing a car-jacked owner to transmit audio from within a vehicle without being detected or a hostage in a building to transmit audio without being detected. It is another object of the present invention to provide an electronic alarm system with an auxiliary battery to provide power in the event the main battery is disabled.

It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an electronic alarm system that can prevent an unauthorized user from making a telephone call from the system, by providing a keyboard that may be blocked. It is still another obj ect of the present invention to provide an electronic alarm system with a display that can display messages received, the time, the date, and a calendar.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide an electronic alarm system with an analog to digital interface able transmit data in tones to a remote receiver.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

The present invention will now be described in connection with the following figure in which like reference numbers refer to like elements and wherein:

Fig. 1 is an electrical circuit schematic of an embodiment of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to Fig. 1, electronic alarm system 10 is an electronic safety device with a low electrical energy consumption that operates with +5 Volt, +8 Volt and +12 Volt. It may be used in land vehicles, air and sea vessels, houses, banks, commercial buildings, etc. The present invention comprises the following components: EPROM MEMORY (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) 20, which contains the routines of the program(s); ADDRESS CIRCUIT 30 comprising the counters; first ACTIVATOR CIRCUIT 60 for the wireless or land line telephone; IMPULSE GENERATOR CIRCUIT 40 for generating pulses or tones; at least one RESET CIRCUIT 50 for resetting the alarm system to an initial state; second ACTIVATOR CIRCUIT 65 for the alarm system; INTERFACE CIRCUIT 70 for programming the telephone system; DETECTOR CIRCUIT 80 for detecting emergency conditions; TRANSMITTER 90 for generating a signal to permit location of a vehicle; and TELEPHONE SYSTEM 12. Telephone system 12 may comprise wireless telephone 15 and land line telephone 19.

These circuits are the components of electronic alarm system 10 that may be triggered by theft, robbery, emergency telephone calls, normal calls, etc. The present invention operates in the following manner: A. VEHICLE PROTECTION

1. THEFT OF VEHICLE WHEN ALARM SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED If the owner activates activator 401, which is strategically placed with the other switches of the vehicle (doors, hood, trunk, dashboard, etc.), electronic alarm system 10 can activate or deactivate any electrical system in the vehicle. Activator 401 may be a button, switch or other activator device. a. Activating components of the vehicle's electrical system:

All the electrical systems of the vehicle can be connected to alarm system 10 and may be activated by alarm system 10. For example, the horn and sirens may be activated, sirens, electric windows may be raised and the head lights may be activated. Any other electrical components or emergency flashers that the vehicle possesses may also be activated by alarm system 10. b. Deactivating components of the vehicle's electric system:

All the electrical systems of the vehicle may be deactivated by alarm system 10. For example, the ignition system, or any other electric circuits may be deactivated with no possibility of reactivation. c. The owner may program alarm system 10 to make an emergency telephone call to one number or up to twelve numbers, on either land lines or wireless lines. Alarm system 10 will make one telephone call per cycle, with each cycle lasting approximately three minutes. The keys of telephone system 12 are used to program all the telephone numbers. d. To activate alarm system 10 when the vehicle has been broken into or stolen, the owner may program alarm system 10 to make one or up to twelve telephone calls. These telephone numbers are stored in memory and may be wireless numbers or land line telephone numbers. Alarm system 10 generates a specific tone via telephone system 12, indicating that alarm system 10 has been activated. The specific tone informs the recipient(s) of the call(s) that the vehicle has been broken into or stolen. The first telephone call lasts approximately one minute whereupon alarm system 10 automatically ends the telephone call and begins to call any remaining numbers, approximately every three minutes. After the last stored telephone number is called, alarm system 10 automatically redials the numbers in order, until the owner deactivates or resets the system through an activator, button, switch or key. The reset device is hidden in the vehicle. Alarm system 10 also may have a transmitter 90 installed. Transmitter 90 is activated when the vehicle is broken into or stolen, and may locate the vehicle by using a receiver with the same frequency.

Alarm system 10 of the present invention may be used in trucks, pick-ups, maritime vessels, airplanes or any other type of vehicle.

2. THEFT OF VEHICLE WHEN ALARM SYSTEM IS NOT ACTIVATED

If the vehicle is broken into or if the owner has not activated alarm system 10, the owner can activate alarm system 10 by making a telephone call to alarm system 10, through wireless telephone 15 or land line telephone 19. At the fourth ring, alarm system 10 will automatically activate the functions, set forth above (A.l.a. or l.b). Alarm system may also activate first microphone 500 or second microphone 501, enabling the owner to listen to any conversations taking place inside the vehicle, for approximately three minutes. Then alarm system 10 returns to the cycle set forth above (1.d).

3. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

Alarm system 10 of the present invention may connect keyboard 560 through interface circuit 70 which enables the user to make a non-emergency telephone call. Each time the user opens a door connected to detector circuit 80 of alarm system 10, whether installed in a vehicle or a building, or activates an activator 400 connected in parallel with keyboard 560, keyboard 560 is blocked and cannot be used to make a telephone call. In order to unblock keyboard 560 and make a telephone call, the user must then enter a code or sequence into keyboard 560. This function of blocking keyboard 560 use prevents an intruder or car-jacker from using keyboard 560 to make a telephone call.

The keyboard blocking function and activation of alarm system 10 may also be initiated by the user's activating any activator (401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, or 407) of alarm system 10 for approximately six seconds. Alarm system 10 of the present invention may use telephone display 17 to indicate messages received, the time, the date, a calendar, etc. and may have an analog-digital circuit to interface with signals from the protected premises. For example, alarm system 10 may convert the analog signals from a vehicle, including temperature, oil pressure, gasoline, speed, movement of the pistons, etc., into digital data which are then sent via telephone system 12 as tones to one or more pre-programmed telephone numbers. The data received in tones may be received with a tone receiver, and a computer with an appropriate program at the receiving end may process and monitor these data, from any remote location. B. PROTECTION OF BUILDINGS

Alarm system 10 of the present invention is also designed to protect buildings such as houses, apartments, commercial buildings, banks, bank vaults, etc. If an intruder triggers any of the sensors located strategically at doors, garages, windows, railings, etc., of the area to be protected, alarm system 10 is designed to place a telephone call via wireless telephone 15 and/or land line telephone 19 and transmit a given sound (tone) to a telephone at any location in the world which the owner has programmed into the system. This telephone call lasts approximately one minute and once this time has ended, alarm system 10 automatically ends the telephone call and sequentially dials any other telephone numbers that have been programmed into the alarm system 10, approximately every three minutes. When the last telephone number has been called, alarm system 10 redials the telephone numbers in order, until the owner deactivates or resets the system through the hidden switch or device specified for this purpose. Simultaneously, alarm system 10 activates or deactivates any electrical system linked to it, for example: sirens, closed circuit television, tape recorders, lights, answering machines, computers, fax modems, etc.

The owner can program alarm system 10 with one or up to twelve telephone numbers for wireless telephone 15 and land line telephone 19. In addition, the owner may call via telephone to alarm system 10 without deactivating the system. At the fourth ring, alarm system 10 can activate one or more of the microphones 500 and 501 hidden inside the protected area of alarm system 10 and the owner can listen for approximately three minutes.

The owner may also connect alarm system 10 to a tape recorder with a previously recorded message giving the location and nature of the situation. Alarm system 10 may also be linked at the same time to a computer fax modem or to the Internet. Thus, in the case of theft of a vehicle and without the thieves being aware of it, alarm system 10 can send this recorded message to the programmed telephone numbers. The persons or security monitoring service receiving these calls can listen to activities occurring in the vehicle or buildings where alarm system 10 is installed.

C. TELEPHONE CALLS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY

If the owner is confronted with an emergency or robbery, by pressing the strategically hidden activator 404, the system activates only wireless telephone system 15 or land line telephone 19 and places one telephone call to a previously stored number. This number is designated "01" in the memory of wireless telephone 15 or land line telephone 19. The person receiving this call can hear what is happening inside the vehicle or building and he can also speak to the driver if the situation permits. The person receiving this call can notify the authorities from a different telephone line, while simultaneously monitoring the situation taking place in the vehicle or building. If necessary, the person receiving the call can activate the circuits to end the call, then call the telephone number of alarm system 10 to deactivate the vehicle ignition and activate the sirens, lights, etc. in order to preserve the life of the driver. The person receiving the call can also activate auxiliary microphone 501 to listen to what is happening inside the vehicle or building, but this time is limited to listening periods of approximately three minutes. Thereafter, alarm system 10 dials the telephone numbers programmed in the memory of wireless telephone 15 or land line telephone 19, one by one. When alarm system 10 is installed with a cellular telephone, the general location of the vehicle may be determined by assessing the cellular telephone cell used to make the telephone calls with the help of the telephone company. A receiver with the same frequency as transmitter 90 installed in the vehicle can be used to pinpoint the vehicle's location.

D. NORMAL TELEPHONE CALLS

Alarm system 10 has been designed to be modified, if required, by the telephone company. By pressing an activator on alarm system 10, the owner of the system can ask the telephone company to process a normal call, as alarm system 10 uses a plug that is connected to the audio system of wireless telephone 15. In this manner the owner can have a conversation through hidden microphones 500 and 501 of alarm system 10. All this can be achieved without activating the various security systems such as deactivating the ignition, activating the alarm, etc.

E. CALL WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE SYSTEM AND INTERFACE

Alarm system 10 can be telephoned by authorized persons via wireless telephone 15 or land line telephone 19 of the system. Such authorized person may communicate with a person in a building without activating the rest of the circuits. A blinking light (LED) or buzzer will be activated for a given time to alert the driver or occupant of the building. Communication is established through hidden microphone 501 and connected to the audio system of wireless telephone 15 or land line telephone 19 through a plug. With that call or through an activator, alarm system 10 can also activate a computerized system in the vehicle which monitors the state of the vehicle's electronic circuits, such as the temperature, speed, oil pressure, gasoline, movement of the pistons, etc. This digitized information is sent to interface circuit 70 of alarm system 10 and to telephone system 12 in tones. These tones can be processed with a tone receiver and the appropriate programs. The information about the vehicle is received at the other end of the line. For buildings, telephone system 12 activates the other parts of the circuit that have been programmed to be activated such as lights, closed circuit television, computers, fax modem, etc. For a given time, and the owner is capable of communication with anyone in the building and can even monitor what is happening in the buildings via the Internet.

DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY A. IN THE EVENT OF THEFT

Alarm system 10 operates as follows: after activator SI 401 has been activated and switch S2 402 is closed, which is connected via resistor Rl 101 with the +5 Volt line to input pin 4 of quad AND-Ul-b 302 and the other input pin 5 of the gate of quad AND-Ul-b 302 is "Hi," output pin 6 of quad AND-Ul-b 302 is "Hi," then when activator SI 401, connected to ground, is activated, "Lo," input pin 4 of the gate of quad AND-Ul-b 302 becomes "Lo" and output pin 6 of quad AND-Ul-b 302 becomes "Lo" and this is connected to pin 1 of 4-bit latch U2 305, this pin 1 is the activator (enabler) of 4 bit latch U2305 and its input pins 3,4, and 10 which are "Hi" go to the output pins 2,5, and 9 "Hi" and stay there stored until they are reset. 4-bit latch U2305 pin 13 with a "Lo" signal and again its output pins 2-5 and 9 become "Lo".

These output signals of 4-bit latch U2305 pins 2, 5 and 9 go to different connection points. Pin 2 "Hi" goes to the input resistor Rl 1 111 base of PNP transmitter Ql 351 and converts its output to "Hi" and this signal is connected through resistor R13 113 to pin 3 of the gate of triac Q6356 and deactivates (opens) the internal circuit between pin 1 and pin 2, and the 110 Volt line is opened, with the previous signal in "Lo" to pin 3 of the gate of triac Q6356, its internal circuit with pin 2 (+5 Volt) of triac Q6 356 was closed and kept its excitation and also kept the internal circuit closed between pin 2 and pin 3 to the 110 Volt line.

The other connection point of pin 2 "Hi" of 4-bit latch U2305 is connected to resistor R8 108 at the base of NPN transmitter Q2 352 and the collector of Q2 352 becomes "Lo" by the signal emitted by ground and the collector of Q2 352 is connected to the +5 Volt by resistor R9 109 and the other point of connection of the collector is to pin 3 of the gate of triac Q7 357 through resistor RIO 110 the excitation circuit is closed with pin 2 of triac Q7 357, this is connected with +5 Volt and triac Q7 357 closes the internal circuit between pin 1 and pin 2 and the line between pins 1 and 2 is closed and activates any system connected to the 110 Volt line.

Pin 9 "Hi" goes to the base of NPN transmitter Q3 353 through resistor R14 114 and activates its collector "Lo", which is connected to +12 Volt one pole - double throw relay 510, which deactivates the ignition and activates the sirens. Relay Kl 510 has diode D4 344 of protection connected inversely to coil of relay Kl 510, in order to protect transistor Q3 263 from a return voltage produced by the coil of relay Kl 510.

The "Hi" signal of pin 5 of 4-bit latchU2305 is connected to three points: one point "Hi" goes to pin 5 of the gate of quad OR-U3-b 307 and its output pin 6 is activated and it goes to pin 4 reset of pulse generator U8 322, unblocking pulse generator U8 322, because pin 4 is the reset (block) and now pulse generator U8 322 begins to generate a 2,5 "Hi" pulse per second approximately by output pin 3 and it goes to pulse input pin 9 of dual hex counter Ul 5 328. Dual hex counter U15 328 is connected in series (cascade) with dual hex counter U16329 to form 13 bits of data which are connected to EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) U14 20 and these are the addresses A0 to A 12, which EPROM U14 20 has stored in the program of advance, activation, deactivation, waiting time of the wireless telephone and the reset of certain parts of the circuit.

When dual hex counter Ul 5 328 receives its two first pulses at input pin 9, its output pins are set in this manner: pin 11 "Hi" and the rest in "Lo" (U16 - A13 - A14 = 000-0000-0000-0010) including dual hex counter U16 329, these become the addresses of EPROM U14 20 and as the enabler of EPROM U14 20 is activates pins 20 and 22 to "Lo" (ground), its data pin 13 (D2) becomes "Hi", and the rest of the data in "Lo", which is saved in this manner and this "Hi" signal goes to pin 9 of the gate of quad OR-U4-C 312 and its output pin 8 becomes "Hi" and goes to pin 6 of quad bilateral switch U7 321 and that "Hi" signal activates an enabler or excitation in order to close quad bilateral switch U7321 internal circuit between pin 8 and pin 9, which operate like a switch, and this signal is connected to the two contact points of the ADVANCE 16 of wireless telephone 15 and advances to the position in memory of wireless telephone 15 from 00 to 01, where there is a telephone number stored; then on the fifth pulse of pulse generator U8 322 the outputs of dual hex counter Ul 5 328 are: pin 11 and pin 13 "Hi" and the rest including the outputs U16 (A13 and A14) are "Lo" = 000-0000-0000-0101 and this is connected to the address of EPROM U14 20 and its data pin 11 (DO) becomes "Hi" and the rest of the output data in "Lo" according to its program, this "Hi" signal goes to pin 5 of the gate of quad OR-U4-b 311 and its output pin 6 becomes "Hi" and goes to pin 13 of quad bilateral switch U7 321 and that signal activates an enabler or exciter in order to close the internal circuit of switch U7321 between pin 1 and pin 2, which functions like a switch, this signal connects the two points of contact of the "SEND" of wireless telephone 15, which activates wireless telephone 15 and sends the telephone number stored in display 17 or first position of the memory of wireless telephone 15 (01), (first telephone call).

The second connection of pin 5 "Hi" of 4-bit latch U2305 goes to pin 9 of the gate of quad AND-Ul-c 303 and the output of pin 8 of quad AND-Ul-c 303 becomes "Hi", since the other input of the gate of quad AND-Ul-c 303 pin 10 is "Hi", the output pin of quad AND-8 Ul-c 303 is "Hi" and goes to reset pin 4 and unblocks tone generator U9 323 which does the function of a tone generator and begins to generate a tone at pin 3 through two electrolytic condensers. A first electrolytic condenser C6 206 is connected to transmitter TX 90, which then sends a tone signal through antenna 525 of the vehicle, later to be detected by a receiver with the same frequency and in this way the vehicle is located. A second condenser C7 207 goes connected to a cathode of germanium diode D5 345 and the anode of diode D5 345 goes to first microphone Ml 500 of wireless telephone 15 and to auxiliary microphone M2 501 and in this way the person can listen to the tone when he receives the telephone call, this tone identifying that the system has been activated. Diode D5345 is used to block the conversations or any signal sent by microphones 500 and 501 to wireless telephone 15 of alarm system 10 so that these signals are not permitted to be transmitted by transmitter TX 90.

The third "Hi" signal of pin 5 of 4-bit latch U2305 goes to pin 5 of inverter U5-c 316 and output pin 6 of inverter U5-c 316 becomes "Lo" and goes to clear pins 3 and pin 11 of the dual one shot U6 320 and blocks dual one shot U6 320 against any output pulse at pin 13 and pin 5.

Then on pulse #130 (approximately 50 seconds) of pulse generator U8 322, the address of dual hex counters U15 328 and U16 329 for EPROM U14 20 plus the A13 and A14 is "Hi": 000-0000-0000- 1000-0010 and its data pin 12 (D 1 ) is "Hi", and the rest of the output data are "Lo" and this "Hi" signal goes to pin 5 of quad bilateral 321 switch U7 and this "Hi" signal activates an enabler or exciter in order to close the internal circuit between pin 3 and pin 4 of quad bilateral switch U7321, which operates like a switch, and this signal is connected to two contact points of the "END" of wireless telephone 15. which ends the telephone call being made by wireless telephone 15.

Then on pulse #133 of pulse generator U8 322, the address of dual hex counters U15 328 and U16 329 (A13 - A14 is "Lo") for EPROM U14 20 is: 000-0000-1000-0101 and its data pin

19 (D7) and data pin 15 (D3) are "Hi" and the rest of the output data are "Lo" and those "Hi" go to pin 13 of the gate of the quad OR-U3-d 309 and its output pin 11 becomes "Hi" and goes to clear pin 7 of dual hex counter U12-a 326 and clear pin 15 of dual hex counter U12-b 326 and with that "Hi" signal clears its output to "Lo", in case they had any data "Hi" in its output.

After approximately three minutes of waiting and at pulse #584 of pulse generator U8 322, the address of dual hex counters U15 328 andUlό 329 (A13 - A14 is "Lo") forEPROMU14

20 is: 000-0010-0100-1000 and data pin 13 (D2) of EPROM U14 20 is "Hi" and it activates the ADVANCE 16 of wireless telephone 15. The telephone number recorded in the first position of the memory, then on the pulse #587 of pulse generator U8 321, the address of dual hex counters U15 328 and U16329 and (A13 - A14 is "Lo") for EPROM U1420 is: 000-0010-0100-101 l and its data pin 13 (D2) returns to "Hi" and activates it for a second time and in a short time the ADVANCE 16 of wireless telephone 15 brings up in its display 17 the second position of the memory, ready to be sent; then on pulse #590 of pulse generator U8 322, the address of dual hex counters U15 328 and U16329 and (A13 - A14 is "Lo") for EPROM U1420 is: 000-0010-0100- 1110 and data pin 11 (DO) is "Hi" and goes to the "SEND" of wireless telephone 15 to activate the telephone call of the number in wireless telephone display 17 or the telephone number stored in the second position of the memory of wireless telephone 15, and the person answering the telephone call will hear the tone sent by the tone generator U9 323 as explained previously.

On pulse #715 (approximately 50 seconds after the SEND-pulse #590) of pulse generator U8 322, the address of dual hex counters U15 328 and U16 329 (A13-14 is "Lo") for EPROM U14 20 is 000-0010-1101-0010 and data pin 12 (Dl) is "Hi" and the signal activates the "END" of wireless telephone 15, deactivating the telephone call. (The telephone call is ended and does not last more than one minute.)

Then on pulse #718 of pulse generator U8 322, the address of dual hex counters Ul 5328 and U16 329 (A13 - A14 is "Lo") for EPROM U14 20 is 000-0010-1101-0101 and data pin 19 (D7) and data pin 13 (D3) are "Hi" and those signals clear the outputs in "Lo" of the dual hex counters U12-a 326 and U12-b 326 as explained previously. This cycle is repeated with the difference of the ADVANCE program, wherein the program sends one more "Hi" signal (pulse) in order to advance wireless telephone 15 with respect to the last telephone call. This changes wireless telephone 15 to the next position (telephone number in its memory) to be sent later (SEND) and deactivated (END).

For example, if the program sends two "Hi" pulses to the ADVANCE contact points 16 of wireless telephone 15, the next time that EPROM U14 20 sends a "Hi" signal (pulse), the ADVANCE 16 will be three "Hi" pulses and in this way advances to the third position of the memory of wireless telephone 15 with the telephone number stored in that position. The program in EPROM U14 20 repeats this cycle until it reaches the twelve "Hi" pulses to the advance and sends its DO "Hi" to the "SEND" and Dl "Hi" for the END and then the D7 and D3 "Hi" clear for dual hex counters U12-a 326 and U12-b 326; EPROM U14 20 program sends by its data pin 18 (D6) a "Hi", which goes to pin 10 of the gate or U3-c and its output pin 8 becomes "Hi" and goes to the clear pins 7 and 15 of dual hex counters U15 328 and U16 329 and in this way all outputs of dual hex counters U15 328 and U16329 are cleared and all the addresses of EPROM U1420 are at "Lo": "000-0000-0000-0000 and in this way the reactivation of the first advance program is restarted as explained previously when the alarm system 10 was activated; until activator S3403 is activated, which resets alarm system 10.

When alarm system 10 is activated, the person can call the telephone number which has been assigned to wireless telephone 15 of the system. Once the line is free, wireless telephone 15 of alarm system 10 (waiting time between calls) rings. Each time it rings, that signal of the ring goes to signal amplifier NPN transmitter Q4354, which is located between the ringing circuit of wireless telephone 15 and timer Ul 0324. The ring signal makes the collector of NPN transmitter Q4354 to go "Lo" and goes to input pin 2 of timer U10 324. This generates a "Hi" pulse at pin 3 and goes to input pin 2 of dual one shot Ul 1 325 and generates one "Hi" pulse at pin 13, which goes to two points: a "Hi" point at input pin 1 and pin 9 of dual hex counters U12-a 326 and U12- b 326. Pin 3 and pin 11 become "Hi" (Qc-0100) and go to three points: one point "Hi" goes to pin 9 of inverter U5-d 317 and its pin 8 becomes "Lo" and goes to pin 4 reset of timer U10 324 and blocks 4-bit latch U2305, which was already activated and there are no changes in its output pins. Pin 8 of quad Ul-c 303 goes to pin 4 reset of tone generator U9 323, with this signal "Lo" blocks tone generator U9323 for wireless telephone 15 and transmitter TX 90 and in this way the person can listen without interference from tones or noise. The output "Hi" of pin 13 of dual hex counter U12-b 326 goes to three points: one point

"Hi" goes to pin 2 of the gate of quad OR-U24-a 337 and its output pin 3 goes to pin 23 (A 13) of EPROM U14 20; the second point "Hi" goes to pin 10 of the gate of quad OR-U24-C 339 and its output pin 8 becomes "Hi", even though the other input pin 9 of the gate of quad OR-U24-C 339 is "Hi" in order to make its output pin 8 "Hi" with any of its inputs "Hi" and in this way the corresponding circuit is activated; the third point "Hi" of pin of dual hex counter 13 U12-b 326 goes to pin 13 of the gate of quad AND-Ul-d 304 and because the pulse of pin 13 of dual one shot Ul 1 325 is "Hi" for a given period of time, it goes to pin 12 of the same gate of quad AND-Ul-d 304, makes its gate of quad OR-U3-C 308 and its output pin 8 becomes "Hi" and pins 7 and 15 of dual hex counters U15 328 and U16 329 and it resets or clears the output pins to "Lo" and the addresses for EPROM U14 20 are: 0-0000-0000-0000 (from A0 to Al 1 and A12 pin 2 is "Lo").

The second "Hi" point pin 5 of dual hex counter U12-a326 goes to pin 27 of EPROM Ul 4 20 and its address is A14 (16,384): 100-0000-0000-0000. Because the output of pin 13 of dual hex counter U12-b 326 is "Hi", this one goes to pin 2 of the gate of quad U24-a 337 and its output pin 3 becomes "Hi" and goes to gate of quad U24-a 337 and its output pin 26 (A13) of EPROM U14 20 and is kept there, now the address of EPROM U14 20 is A13 and A14 "Hi": 110-0000- 0000-0000 (24,576) and it puts a "Hi" in its output pin 11 (DO); this activates the "SEND" of wireless telephone 15. Wireless telephone 15 is activated automatically by the call that is being made and in this manner the person making the call can listen by auxiliary microphone M2 501 hidden inside the vehicle, in order to listen to any information which may aid in the location of the vehicle. Auxiliary microphone M2 501 operates for approximately three minutes.

On pulse #452 of pulse generator U8 322, the address of dual hex counters U15 328 and U16 329 for EPROM U14 20: 110-0001-1100-0100 and its output data pins (18, 19, and 15 or D3, D6, andD7) are "Hi". This resets dual hex counters U15328, U16329, U12-a326, andU12- b 326, making all the addresses for EPROM U14 20 in "Lo": 000-0000-0000-0000. In this manner the system of telephone calls of the numbers stored in the wireless telephone is restarted, starting with the first pulse "Hi" to the input pin 9 of dual hex counter U15 328. B. IN THE EVENT OF THEFT OR THE SYSTEM NOT ACTIVATED

If the vehicle is stolen or connecting switch S2 402 is not activated and then the vehicle is stolen, the owner can make a telephone call to the assigned telephone number of wireless telephone 15 of the alarm system 10. This call can be placed from any telephone, wireless or land line, and at the fourth ring the vehicle will be stopped and the sirens, auxiliary and any other electrical device connected to the alarm system will be activated.

The alarm system 10 operates as follows: after the alarm system 10 receives a call and generates a ring. This ringing signal goes to a signal amplifier, comprising NPN transistor Q4354 and timer U10 324. The ringing signal makes the collector of NPN transistor Q4 354 to go to "Lo" and goes to input pin 2 of timer U10 324 and in this manner produces a "Hi" pulse at pin 3 which goes to input pin 2 of dual one shot Ul 1 325. This generates a "Hi" pulse at pin 3 and goes to two points: one "Hi" goes to input pin 1 and pin 9 of dual hex counters U12-a 326 and U12-b 326 and output pins 3 and 11 become "Hi" (Qa-0001). When wireless telephone 15 sends the fourth ring and on the fourth pulse "Hi" goes to output pin 1 of dual hex counter U12-a 326 and to pin 9 of dual hex counter U12-b 326 (Qc-0100) and becomes "Hi" and the point "Hi" of pin 5 of dual hex counter U12-a 326 goes to three points: one "Hi" point goes to pin 9 of inverter U5-d 317 whose output pin 8 becomes "Lo" and goes to reset pin 4 of timer U10 324 and it makes its output pin 4 to be "Hi" and receives a "Lo" at pin 2, and that same signal "Lo" of pin 8 of inverter U5-d 317 goes to pin 5 and pin 10 of quad AND-Ul-b 302 and the gate of quad Ul-c 303, and it makes its output pin 6 and pin 8 "Lo"; pin 6 of quad Ul-b 302 goes to pin 1 of 4-bit latch U2305, which activates its output pins 2, 5, and 9 to "Lo". This blocks its output pin 3 and does not generate a tone for transmitter TX 90 nor for wireless telephone 15 and in this manner the person can listen freely to what is going on inside the vehicle, for approximately three minutes.

These output signals of 4-bit latch U2 305 pins 2, 5, and 9 go to different connection points. Pin 2 "Hi" goes to the input resistor Rl 1 111 at the base of PNP transistor Ql 351 and converts its output to "Hi". This signal connects through resistor Rl 3 113 to pin 3 of gate of triac Q6356 and deactivates (opens) the internal circuit between pin 1 and pin 2 and the 110 Volt line becomes open, because with the previous "Lo" signal to pin 3 of the gate of triac Q6 356 was closed its internal circuit with pin 2 (+5 Volt) of triac Q6 356 and keeps its excitation and also keeps the internal circuit between pin 2 and pin 3 closed to the 110 Volt line.

The other connection point of pin 2 "Hi" of 4-bit latch U2305 is connected to resistor R8 108 at the base of NPN transistor Q2 352. The collector becomes "Lo" due to the signal sent by transmitter (ground) and the collector of NPN transistor Q2352 is connected to +5 Volt by resistor R9 109. The other point of connection of the collector is pin 3 of the gate of triac Q7357 through resistor R10 110 and closes the excitation circuit with pin 2 of triac Q7357, which is connected to +5 Volt. Triac Q7 357 closes its internal circuit between pin 1 and pin 2 and the line between these two pins becomes closed and activates any system connected to that 110 Volt line.

Pin 9 "Hi" goes to the base of NPN transistor Q3 353 through resistor R14 114 and activates its collector "Lo", which is connected to +12 Volt one pole - double through relay Kl 510, which disconnects the ignition of the vehicle and activates siren 590 through the +12 Volt in point of the pole. Relay 510 has diode D4 344 for protection connected inversely to its coil.

The "Hi" signal of pin 5 of 4-bit latch U2305 is connected to three points: one "Hi" goes to pin 5 of inverter U5-c 316 and output pin 6 of dual one shot U6 320 and blocks any output pulse at pin 13 and pin 5.

The second connection "Hi" of pin 5 of 4-bit latch U2305 goes to pin 9 of the gate of quad AND-Ul-c 303, but because the other gate of pin 10 is already "Lo", its output pin 8 continues on "Lo", and does not activate tone generator U9 323.

The third connection "Hi" of pin 5 of 4-bit latch U2 305 goes to pin 5 of the gate of quad OR-U3-b 307 and its output becomes "Hi" and goes to reset pin 6 of pulse generator U8 322 and unblocks it and this beings to generate a "Hi" pulse, at output pin 3 to input pin 9 of dual hex counter Ul 5 328.

The output of pin 13 of dual hex counter U12-b 326 goes to three points: one "Hi" point goes to pin 2 of the gate of quad OR-U24-a 337 and its output pin 3 goes to pin 26 (A13) of EPROM U14 20. The second point "Hi" goes to pin 10 of the gate of quad OR-U24-C 339 and its output pin 8 becomes "Hi" in order to make its output pin 8 "Hi" with any of its inputs "Hi" and in this manner activates the corresponding circuit. The third point "Hi" of pin 13 of dual hex counter U12-b 326 goes to pin 13 of the gate of quad AND-Ul-d 304 and because the pulse of pin 13 of dual one shot Ul 1 325 is "Hi" for a given period of time and goes to pin 12 of the same gate of quad AND-Ul-d 304, its output pin 11 "Hi" and goes to pin 1 of the gate of quad OR-U3-a 306 and its output pin 3 becomes "Hi" and goes to pin 9 of the gate of quad OR-U3-C 306 and its output pin 8 becomes "Hi" and goes to pins 7 and 15 of dual hex counters U15 328 and U16329 and resets or blocks its input pins to "Lo" and its addresses for EPROM U1420 is: 0-0000-0000 (from A0 to Al 1 and A12 pin 2 which is "Lo").

The second point "Hi" pin 5 of dual hex counter U12-a 326 goes to pin 27 of EPROM Ul 4 20 which is the address A14 (16384)= 1-00-0000-0000-0000 and because output pin 13 of dual hex counter Ul 2-b 326 is "Hi" and goes to pin 2 of the gate of quad OR-U24-a 337 and its output pin 3 becomes "Hi" and goes to pin 26 (A13) of EPROM U14 20 and is kept there, making address of EPROM U14 20 is A13 and A14 "Hi": 110-0000-0000-0000 (24,576). This puts a

"Hi" in EPROM U14 20 output pin 11 (DO), which activates the "SEND" in wireless telephone

15. Wireless telephone 15 is thus activated automatically so that the person making the call can listen by hidden auxiliary microphone M2501 located in the vehicle, in order to obtain any helpful information. Microphone M2 501 operates for approximately three minutes.

On pulse #451 of pulse generator U8322, approximately three minutes after the "SEND", the address of dual hex counters U15 328 and U16 329 for EPROM U1420 is: 110-0001-1100- 0011 and its output data pin 12 (Dl) is "Hi" and activates the "END" of wireless telephone 15.

On pulse #452 of pulse generator U8 322, the address of dual hex counters U15 328 and U16 329 for EPROM U14 20 is: 110-0001-1100-0100 and its output data pins (D6) (D7), and (D3) (15, 18 and 19) are "Hi", which resets dual hex counters U15 328, U16329, U12-a 326, and U12-b 326, making all the addresses for EPROM U14 20 in "Lo": 000-0000-0000-0000 and in this manner the system initiates the sequence of telephone calls from the numbers stored in the memory of wireless telephone 15, starting the first "Hi" pulse to input pin 9 of dual hex counter U15 328.

After the three dual hex counters U 15328, U 16329, U 12-a 326, and U 12-b 326 have been reset, the system initiates its cycle; even though 4-bit latch U2 305 continues activated, because its output pins 2, 5, and 9 continue being "Hi" and the cycle is repeated completely, as explained in the case of theft, with the exception of 4-bit latch U2305 which was activated by the telephone call to wireless telephone 15 of the system (rings) and not by the activation of activator SI 401. C. TELEPHONE CALLS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY

In the event of an emergency, such as car-jacking, the owner or the driver of the vehicle can press activator S4 404 which is placed strategically in the vehicle. After activator S4 404, which is grounded, has been pressed for approximately one second, the other point of activator S4404 is connected through resistor R3 103 to +5 Volt and activator S4 404 sends a "Lo" signal to pin 1 of inverter U5-a 314 and its output pin 2 becomes "Hi" and goes to two points: one "Hi" point goes to pin 1 of the gate of quad AND-Ul-a 301. This AND circuit is provided to prevent false "Hi" pulses to the "SEND" of wireless telephone 15. The other "Hi" goes point goes to input of pin 10 of inverter U5-e 318 and its output pin 11 becomes "Lo" and goes to input pin 1 of dual one shot U6 320 and in this way is activated (the signal "Lo" to activator S4 404 has been done through the two inverters at pin 1 of dual one shot U6320 and not directly in order to avoid a false shot pulse); pin 13 of dual one shot U6320 generates a "Hi" pulse (less than one second) and goes to pin 10 of the gate of quad OR-U4-C 312 and generates a "Hi" at output pin 8 and activates the

ADVANCE contacts points 16 in wireless telephone 15 and brings up display 17 of the telephone number stored in the first location of the memory. The "Hi" pulse of pin 13 of dual one shot U6 320 also goes to the input pin 9 of the other dual one shot U6 320 and when this "Hi" pulse becomes "Lo" the output pin 5 of dual one shot U6 320 generates a "Hi" pulse and goes to pin 2 of the gate of quad AND-Ul-a 301 and because the other gate of quad AND-Ul-a 301 pin 1 is "Hi" due to the activator S4 404, pin 3 becomes "Hi" and goes to input pin 4 of the gate of quad OR-U4-b 311 and its output pin 6 becomes "Hi", activating the "SEND" of wireless telephone 15. 4-bit latch U2 305 is not activated and as a result, the vehicle's ignition is not turned off.

D. NORMAL TELEPHONE CALLS

After the strategically placed activator S5 405 has been pressed for three seconds inside the vehicle or any fixed point a "Hi" signal goes to pin 1 of the gate of quad OR-U4-a 310 and its output pin 3 becomes "Hi" and goes to pin 13 of quad bilateral switch U20 333 and close the internal switch pin 1 and pin 2 and activates number "Nine" of keyboard 18 of the wireless telephone 15 of alarm system 10 for three seconds, activating the "SEND" of wireless telephone 15 with the telephone number of the telephone company stored in the memory of wireless telephone 15, the call can allow the person to request a telephone number from the number provided by the wireless telephone company.

E. INTERFACE

The system has a circuit to control the tones of the keyboard through a computerized system. The system can interrupt its routine sending a "Hi" via activator S7 407 or if the computerized system has a routine of asking or access output port at elf there is a "Hi" data 5 pin 17 of EPROM U14 20, which goes by pin 5 of the connector Jl 540 and in this way the computerized system can send data (DO, Dl, D2, and D3) through connector Jl 540 and its enabler (chip select) to the input of tristate buffer U17 330 and the enabler of the "Hi" goes in input pin 13 of inverter U5-f 319 and its output pin 12 becomes "Lo" and goes to pins 1 and 15 of tristate buffer U17330 and activates it; and input data pins (2, 4, 6, 10, and 12) to output pins (3, 5, 7, 9, and 11), which are connected to resistors (R30 130, R31 131, R32 132, and R33 133). Resistors (R30 130, R31 131, R32 132, and R33 133) are connected to +5 Volt, so that the outputs of tristate buffer Ul 7330 do not remain floating when the enabler (chip select) does not activate; with the exception of output pin 11 which is connected to resistor R35 135 and the other point of the resistance goes connected to ground "Lo", so that the input of pin 6 of quad bilateral switch U20333 becomes "Lo" when the enabler (chip select) of tristate buffer Ul 7330 is not activated; one "Hi" at pin 6 of quad bilateral switch U20333 closes the internal circuit of pins 11 and 12 and activates the "CLEAR" of wireless telephone 15. The other connection point of the output pins of tristate buffer U17 330 (10, 13, 12, and 11) (A, B, C, and D) of BCD decoder U18 331 and its output are "Lo" and once this receives a combination of data at input pins, this makes one of its output "Hi" and the rest of its outputs pins (3, 14, 2, 15, 1, 6, 7, 5, 4, and 9) go to the input activation (enabler) of one of the three quad bilateral switches U 19332, U20333, or U21 334 and activates one of its internal circuits and closes the connection between the two points which correspond. This also activates one of the numbers in keyboard 18 of the wireless telephone 15 from 0 to 9 and that tone of the number selected by the computerized system is sent by wireless telephone 15 of alarm system 10 to the number dialed and in this manner every time that the computerized system sends a tone, it also sends the specific data (tristate buffer) together with the enabler (chip select), in this way BCD decoder Ul 8331 selects the telephone number and sends it by one of the three quad bilateral switches U19332, U20 333, or U21 334; and this closes the internal circuit and activates the telephone number selected and the telephone number will appear in display 17 of wireless telephone 15 and that number will send a tone to the telephone number dialed and in this way the computerized system can send a series of data which finally converts to the activation of keyboard 18 of the wireless telephone 15 of the alarm system 10 and in this way it can send various tones one by one to the telephone number dialed and this in turn can have an electronic receptor device with a program and in this manner the data sent (temperature, oil pressure, gasoline, speed, movement of the pistons, etc.) can be translated by the computerized system from a long or short distance. F. TELEPHONE CALL WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE SYSTEM

The owner can call alarm system 10 at mobile points (vehicles, sea and air vessels) or fixed points (houses, warehouses, commercial buildings, banks etc.) in order to activate parts of the system that he wishes.

The owner may make two telephone calls to the telephone number of alarm system 10 in order to carry out this function.

When the owner makes the first telephone call to alarm system 10 and permits only two rings prior to ending the telephone call, dual hex counter U12 326, which has two internal counters (for this reason it is called a dual hex counter and is designated as hex counter (A) or U12-a 326 and hex counter (B) or U12-b 326), receives two "Hi" pulse at input pins 1 and 9, and its output pins 4 and 12 become "Hi". The "Hi" of input pin 12 of dual hex counter U12-b 326 goes to two points: one point "Hi" goes to input pin 5 of the gate of quad OR-U24-b 338 and its output pin 6 becomes "Hi" and goes to pin 2 address (A 12) of EPROM U1420, and is kept there; the second "Hi" point of pin 12 of dual hex counter U12-b 326 goes to pin 1 of the gate of quad

OR-U24-a 337 and its output becomes "Hi" and goes to pin 26 address (Al 3) of EPROM U1420 and to pin 4 of the gate of quad OR-U3-b 307 and its output pin 6 becomes "Hi" and goes to the reset pin 4 of pulse generator U8322 and unblocks and starts to generate "Hi" pulses at output pin

3 and goes to input pin 9 of dual hex counter U15 328 and this begins to generate addresses together with dual hex counter U16329 for EPROM U1420. The address of EPROM U14 20 is

A12 (pin2) andA13 (pin26) "Hi": 011-0000-0000-0000 (12,288) and all its output data are "Lo".

Pulse generator U8 322 begins to send a "Hi" pulse to dual hex counter U15 328, then after 38

"Hi" pulses the address of EPROM U14 20 is: 011-0000-0001-0110 (12,326) or approximately

15 seconds of waiting time to create a routine if the person making the activation telephone call completes four rings directly or if the person is making a telephone call of two rings; for this reason it has 15 seconds of waiting time because each ring has approximately 5 seconds, then after those approximately 15 seconds, the address of EPROM U 1420 is: 011 -0000-0001 -0110 and the

EPROM U1420 has in its output pin 19 a "Hi" and this pin goes to pin 13 of the gate of quad OR-

U3-d 309 and its output pin 11 becomes "Hi" and goes to pin 12 of the gate of quad OR-U4-d 313 and its output pin 11 becomes "Hi" and goes to reset pin 7 of dual hex counter U12-a 326 and clears its "Hi" output pin 4 to "Lo"; then EPROM U1420 sends data "Hi" and "Lo" ten times by output pin 16 (D4) and this goes to light-emitting diode D7 347 through resistor R40 140 connected to ground to indicate that a call is coming. If the person does not call a second time, pulse generator U8322 keeps sending "Hi" pulses and on pulse #338, the address of EPROM U 14

20 is: 011-0001-0101-0010 (12,626), approximately two minutes of waiting time with respect to the address: 011-0000-0001-0110 (12,326), which had a waiting time of 15 seconds for the second call; the address is: 011-0001-0101-0010 (12,626), EPROM U14 20 sends a "Hi" at its pins (15 and 18) and resets the counters of dual hex counters U15 328, U16329, and U12-b 326 to "Lo"; returning it to its normal state.

The second telephone call must be made within approximately two minutes after making the first telephone call with only two rings.

When the second telephone call is made and at the second ring or at the second "Hi" impulse that enters pins 1 and 9 of dual hex counters U12-a 326 and U12-b 326, the hex counter U12-b 326 has stored a "Hi" at pin 12 (Qb) and this dual hex counter U12-b 326 once it receives those two "Hi"pulses, has now four "Hi" pulses stored and its output pin 13 (Qb) becomes a "Hi" and is connected to three points: one "Hi" point goes to pin 13 of the gate of quad AND-Ul-d 304 and because the other input pin 12 is connected to pin 13 of dual one shot Ul 1 325 and this generates a "Hi" pulse with a period, long enough for quad AND-Ul-d 304 to generate at output pin 1 la "Hi" when it receives a "Hi" at input pin 13; that "Hi" of pin 11 of quad Ul-d 304 goes to pin 1 of the gate of quad OR-U3-a 306 and its output pin 3 becomes "Hi" and goes to pin 9 of the gate of quad OR-U3-C 308 and its output pin 8 becomes "Hi" and goes to the reset pins 7 and 15 of dual hex counters U15 328 and U16329 and clears its output to "Lo".

The third connection of the "Hi" point of pin 13 of dual hex counter Ul 2-b 326 goes to pin 2 of the gate of quad OR-U24-a 337 and its output becomes "Hi" and goes to pin 26 (A13) of EPROM U1420 and to pin 4 of the gate of quad OR-U3-b 307 and its output pin 6 becomes "Hi" and goes to pin 4 (reset) of pulse generator U8 322 and it activates it as explained previously; the address of EPROM U1420 is pin 26 (A13) "Hi": 010-0000-0000-0000 (8,192) and its output data is "Lo", then on the first pulse "Hi" of pulse generator U8 322 the address of EPROM U14 20 becomes: 010-0000-0000-0001 (8,193) and its output pin 11 (DO) Hi" and this activates the "SEND" of wireless telephone 15 of alarm system 10; then on the second "Hi" pulse of pulse generator U8322 the address of EPROM U1420 is: 010-0000-0000-0010 (8,194) and sets a "Hi" at pin 19 (D7) and this resets dual hex counter U 12-a 326, and sets another "Hi" at pin 17 (D5) and this goes to pin 5 of connector Jl 540 to the computerized system, then after approximately three minutes of activation of wireless telephone 15, the address of EPROM U14 20 is: 010-0001- 1100-0010 (8,642) and its output pin 12 (Dl) becomes "Hi" and ends the telephone call, then on the next "Hi" pulse of pulse generator U8322 the address of EPROM U1420 is: 010-0001-1100- 0011 (8,643) and its output pins 18, 19, and 15 become "Hi" and reset all the counters of dual hex counters U15 328, U16 329, U12-a 326, and U12-b 326 ; and sets the system to its normal state. G. RESET

After grounded activator, switch-on key switch S3 403 is activated, it sends a "Lo" signal to two points, which previously were "Hi" through resistor R2 102 connected to a +5 Volt line; one "Lo" point goes to pin 3 of inverter U5-b 315 and its output pin 4 becomes "Hi" and goes to three points: one "Hi" goes to pin 12 of the gate of quad OR-U3-d 309 and its output pin 11 becomes "Hi" and goes to pin 12 of the gate of quad OR-U4-d 313 and its output pin 11 becomes "Hi" and goes to clear pin 7 of dual hex counter U12-a 326, this clears its output pins of any "Hi" that they could have and output pins are set to "Lo", the second "Hi" point of pin 4 of inverter US- fa 315 goes to input pin 2 of the gate of quad OR-U3-a 306 and its output pin 3 becomes "Hi" and goes to input pin 9 of the gate of quad OR-U3-C 308 and its output pin 8 becomes "Hi" and goes to reset pins 7 and 15 of dual hex counters U15 328 and U16 329 and this way clears its outputs to "Lo"; the third "Hi" point of pin 4 of inverter U5-b 315 goes through resistor R41 141 connected to resistor R22 122 and capacitor C9 209; and the output of the collector of NPN transistor Q5 355 becomes "Lo" and goes to input pin 2 of timer U13 327 and its output pin 3 becomes "Hi" and goes to two points; one "Hi" goes to pin 13 of the gate of quad OR-U4-d 313 and its output pin 11 becomes "Hi" and goes to pin 7 clear of dual hex counter U12-a 326; the other "Hi" point of pin 3 of timer U13 327 goes to pin 13 of the gate of quad OR-U24-d 340 and its output pin 11 becomes "Hi" and goes to pin 15 clear of dual hex counter U12-b 326. The other "Hi" point of activator S3 403 (reset) goes to clear pin 13 of 4-bit latch U2305, which clears its output pins 2, 5 and 9 to "Lo" and sets all its circuits to their original states. H. AUTOMATIC RESET FOR VOLTAGE PEAKS

When the ignition of the vehicle is started, the sensitivity of the amplifier made up by NPN transistor Q4 354 could pick up a voltage peak and generate a "Lo" to its collector and because this goes to pin 2 of timer U10 324, this generates a "Hi" pulse at output pin 3 and goes to input pin 2 of the dual one shot Ul 1 325 and this generates a "Hi" pulse at output pin 13 and goes to input pins 1 and 9 of dual hex counters U12-a 326 and U12-b 326 and generates a "Hi" pulse at pin 3 (Qa) and pin 11 (Qa) and remains stored and when dual hex counters U12-a 326 and U12-b 326 receive the fourth "Hi" pulse, dual hex counter U12-a 326 sends at output pin 5 a "Hi" and turns off the ignition of the vehicle, activates wireless telephone 15, etc. as if it were calling the same telephone number assigned to the wireless telephone of the system; for this reason this circuit was designed to avoid false shots and activations.

The circuit is made up by an amplifier, one NPN transistor Q5 355 and is similar to the circuit made up by NPN transistor Q4 354, but more sensitive. After the vehicle is started, this circuit collects any signal of peak voltage and converts collector of NPN transistor Q5 355 from "Hi" to "Lo" and this "Lo" signal goes to input pin 2 of timer U 13 327 and generates a "Hi" pulse at output pin 3, but with a longer delay of the "Hi" pulse than the delay generated by the "Hi" pulse received by dual hex counters U 12-a 326 and U 12-b 326 at input pins 1 and 9 and that "Hi" pulse goes to input pin 13 of the gate of quad OR-U24-d 340 and its output pin 11 becomes "Hi" and goes to clear pins 7 and 15 of dual hex counters U12-a 326 and U12-b 326, and clears its outputs to "Lo", which neutralizes any signal or "Hi" pulse that reaches the gate of dual hex counters U12-a 326 and U12-b 326 pins 1 and 9, because the "Hi" of clear pin 7 and pin 15 is longer than the one received at input pins 1 and 9 of dual hex counters U12-a 326 and U12-b 326 and in this way it keeps its outputs "Lo" from false shots. I. POWER SUPPLY

The voltage for wireless telephone 15 and the circuit of alarm system 10 is delivered through two voltage regulators U22 335 and U23 336. After activator S6 406 is activated, +12 Volt battery B 1 530 is connected to fuse F 1 550 in order to protect the system from a short circuit, and to 5 Watt resistor R34 134 to reduce some of the voltage of input pin 1 to voltage regulators U22 335 (+5 Volt) and U23 336 (+8 Volt) to approximately +12 Volt to +10 Volt so that the voltage regulators work with a better performance. Output pin 3 of each voltage regulator U22 335 and U23 336 is connected to a negative (ground). Output pins 2 of voltage regulators U22 335 and U23 336 send +8 Volt for the rest of the circuits of alarm system 10.

Voltage regulators U22 335 and U23 336 have between pins (1 and 3) and (2 and 3), four capacitors of 10 microfarads (C20220, C21 221, C22222, and C23 223), connected to the circuit of the system in order to avoid voltage peaks and drops between its components.

After activator S6 406 is activated, this power on the circuit of the system and dual one shot Ul 1 325 pin 5 sends a "Hi" pulse to pin 12 of quad bilateral switch U7 321 and closes the internal circuit between pins 10 and 11 and these are connected to the two contacts of the power on wireless telephone 15 and turn it on.

Light emitting diode LED Dl 341 on indicates that alarm system 10 is activated. Light emitting diode D2 342 on indicates that alarm system 10 is powered up but not activated; when alarm system 10 is activated, this LED D2 342 goes off. Light emitting diode LED D3 343 illuminates each time wireless telephone 15 rings.
