Abstract
Abstract A burglarproofing device for a car-carried acoustic apparatus prevents operation of the car-carried acoustic apparatus if the apparatus is stolen. The device allows only an owner of a car who holds a controller to render the apparatus operative. The controller is in the form of a card having keys for entering a pass number and a memory for storing a pass number thus entered. The pass number is transmitted to the car-carried acoustic apparatus when the controller is inserted into a hole formed in the car-carried acoustic apparatus, and is compared with a verification number stored in discriminating means, and only when coincidence is found, is power made available to the apparatus.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
189 words
A burglarproofing device for a car-carried acoustic apparatus, comprising: a portable controller having memory means in which a pass number or word is sorted and data outputting means connected to said memory means located at a predetermined position on said controller; said car-carried acoustic apparatus having a receiving hole for receiving said controller inserted therein, and including data inputting means located at a predetermined position in said receiving hole in opposing relationship to said data outputting means of said controller when said controller is inserted in said receiving hole, discriminating means for discriminating coincidence between the pass number of word read out from said controller through said data outputting means to said data inputting means and a verification number or word previously stored in said discriminating means, and enabling means responsive only to a coincidence signal received from said discriminating means for enabling operation of said car-carried acoustic apparatus, whereby said car-carried acoustic apparatus is rendered operative only when said controller has been inserted into said receiving hole of said car-carried acoustic apparatus and the pass number or word thereof coincides with said previously stored verification number or word.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
189 words
A burglarproofing device for a car-carried acoustic apparatus, comprising: a portable controller having memory means in which a pass number or word is sorted and data outputting means connected to said memory means located at a predetermined position on said controller; said car-carried acoustic apparatus having a receiving hole for receiving said controller inserted therein, and including data inputting means located at a predetermined position in said receiving hole in opposing relationship to said data outputting means of said controller when said controller is inserted in said receiving hole, discriminating means for discriminating coincidence between the pass number of word read out from said controller through said data outputting means to said data inputting means and a verification number or word previously stored in said discriminating means, and enabling means responsive only to a coincidence signal received from said discriminating means for enabling operation of said car-carried acoustic apparatus, whereby said car-carried acoustic apparatus is rendered operative only when said controller has been inserted into said receiving hole of said car-carried acoustic apparatus and the pass number or word thereof coincides with said previously stored verification number or word.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A burglarproofing device according to claim 1, wherein said controller further includes a switch means which is closed upon insertion of said controller into said receiving hole of said car-carried acoustic apparatus to allow transmission of data from said data outputting means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A burglarproofing device according to claim 2, wherein said controller is in the form of a card and further includes a battery contained therein.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
A burglarproofing device according to claim 2, wherein said controller is in the form of a card and further includes operation keys for entering said pass number or word therethrough and a display means for indicating data entered through said operation keys.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
50 words
A burglarproofing device according to claim 1, wherein said car-carried acoustic apparatus further includes operation keys for entering said verification number or word therethrough, the verification number or word entered being stored in said discriminating means, and a display means for indicating data entered by way of said operation keys.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
57 words
A burglarproofing device according to claim 1, wherein said car-carried acoustic apparatus further includes a second switch means which is closed upon insertion of said controller into said receiving hole of said car-carried acoustic apparatus to allow reception of data by said inputting means of said car-carried acoustic apparatus from said data outputting means of said controller.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
70 words
A burglarproofing device according to claim 1, wherein said car-carried acoustic apparatus further includes means for entering said verification number or word therethrough and is connected to be energized by a car-carried battery as its power source whereby if said car-carried acoustic apparatus is disconnected from said car-carried battery, the verification number or word which has been entered through said entering means and stored into said discriminating means is cancelled.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
25 words
A burglarproofing device according to claim 1, wherein the verification number or word is permanently stored in and cannot be cancelled from said discriminating means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
48 words
A burglarproofing device as defined in claim 1, wherein said car-carried acoustic apparatus is connected to a car power source, and said enabling means includes a switching circuit which connects said car power source to operate said car-carried acoustic apparatus in response to receipt of said coincidence signal.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
39 words
A burglarproofing device as defined in claim 1, wherein said car-carried acoustic apparatus includes a music selection unit which is connected to said data inputting means and is controlled in accordance with music selection data provided from said controller.
