Abstract
Abstract In a digital PLMN network, the short message service of the network can be used for reporting a break-in into a vehicle and for monitoring the movements of the vehicle. An excitation signal arriving at the telephone, for example from a sensor at the driving wheel lock, causes the telephone to form and transmit a short message which includes the clock time, the identification data of a support station, the address of the short message terminal which is to receive the message, and possibly the identification data of the vehicle. The location of the vehicle can be determined from the support station identification data, which support stations transmit as system parameters.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A method for detecting a break-in into a vehicle equipped with a radio telephone which operates in a digital PLMN network, particularly a GSM network, which has a short message service and/or a data service, characterised in that an initial excitation signal arriving at the telephone (1) causes the telephone to form and transmit a short message which includes the clock time, support station identification data, the address of the receiving short message terminal (2), and possibly the identification data of the vehicle.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
83 words
A method for detecting a break-in into a vehicle equipped with a radio telephone which operates in a digital PLMN network, particularly a GSM network, which has a short message service and/or a data service, characterised in that an initial excitation signal arriving at the telephone (1) causes the telephone to form and transmit a short message which includes the clock time, support station identification data, the address of the receiving short message terminal (2), and possibly the identification data of the vehicle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method according to Claim 1, characterised in that the address of the short message terminal (2) receiving the message has been stored in advance in the memory of the telephone (1).
Claim 4
Independent Claim
37 words
A method according to Claims 1 and 2, characterised in that the service centre of the GSM system routes the short message to the receiving short message terminal (2) indicated by the address included in the message.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
A method according to Claim 1, characterised in that the initial excitation signal is an on/off signal received from a sensor outside the telephone adapted to detect theft of, or a break-in into, the vehicle.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
A method according to Claim 1, characterised in that a series of subsequent excitation signals is formed at regular intervals after the initial excitation signal, in which case the travel route of the vehicle can be determined from the location information included in the short message transmitted.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
111 words
A radio telephone installed in a vehicle and operating in a digital PLMN system, particularly a GSM system, the telephone automatically reporting a break-in into the vehicle, and having an MO message transmission in accordance with the GSM specification, characterised in that the telephone has a circuit arrangement which forms a short message including the clock time, the location of the telephone to the accuracy of a support station, the address of the receiving short message terminal, and the vehicle identification data, and that the telephone has a connection for an initial excitation signal which will initiate the formation of a short message and the transmission of a mobile originated message.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
111 words
A radio telephone installed in a vehicle and operating in a digital PLMN system, particularly a GSM system, the telephone automatically reporting a break-in into the vehicle, and having an MO message transmission in accordance with the GSM specification, characterised in that the telephone has a circuit arrangement which forms a short message including the clock time, the location of the telephone to the accuracy of a support station, the address of the receiving short message terminal, and the vehicle identification data, and that the telephone has a connection for an initial excitation signal which will initiate the formation of a short message and the transmission of a mobile originated message.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
36 words
A radio telephone according to Claim 6, characterised in that the initial excitation signal is an on/off signal received from a sensor outside the telephone adapted to detect theft of, or a break-in into, the vehicle.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
32 words
A radio telephone according to Claim 6, characterised in that a series of subsequent excitation signals is formed within the radio telephone itself at desired time intervals after the initial excitation signal.
