Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
A vehicle door locking system comprising: a plurality of electrically actuated vehicle door locks for a vehicle; means for detecting the closure status of the vehicle doors, said means detecting that all the vehicle doors are closed; input circuit means for controlling said door locks; and a microcontroller coupled to said door locks, to said detecting means and to said input circuit means, said microcontroller responsive to input signals from said input circuit means for locking all doors of the vehicle, wherein when one of said input signals is received from said input circuit means when at least one of said vehicle doors is open, said microcontroller is responsive to said one of said input signals to lock all doors of the vehicle a predetermined time period after said detecting means detects that all doors have been closed.
