Abstract

Abstract A beeper controlled auto security system in which a vehicle disabling device such as an ignition kill switch is selectively activated either by a hand held rf transmitter unit or a beeper paging system satellite transmission initiated by a telephone call which may be at a very remote location from the vehicle. A vehicle motion detector is also activated which turns on a monitor transmitter if the vehicle is thereafter moved, enabling detection by a portable monitor receiver carried by the vehicle owner or police vehicles.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 189 words
An auto vehicle security system comprising: selectively activated vehicle disabling means operable when activated to prevent operation of the vehicle; receiver-disable signal generator means for selectively activating said vehicle disabling means responsive to alternative activating means, said alternative activating means including a portable hand held transmitter selectively activatable to emit an rf signal to said receiver disable signal generator means to activate said receiver-disable signal generator means, and a telephone activated remote transmitter emitting another rf signal transmitted to said receiver-disable signal generator means, whereby said vehicle may selectively be disabled either by operation of said hand held transmitter or by a telephone activated transmission; said receiver-disable signal generator means comprising a beeper-receiver unit mounted within said vehicle adapted to emit an signal upon receipt of a signal originating from either of said hand held transmitter or said remote transmitter, and said selectively activated vehicle disabling means further including detector means mounted in said vehicle adjacent said beeper-receiver unit and tuned so as to be activated by emission of said signal by said beeper-receiver unit, said vehicle disabling means directly responsive to said signal emitted from said beeper-receiver unit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 189 words
An auto vehicle security system comprising: selectively activated vehicle disabling means operable when activated to prevent operation of the vehicle; receiver-disable signal generator means for selectively activating said vehicle disabling means responsive to alternative activating means, said alternative activating means including a portable hand held transmitter selectively activatable to emit an rf signal to said receiver disable signal generator means to activate said receiver-disable signal generator means, and a telephone activated remote transmitter emitting another rf signal transmitted to said receiver-disable signal generator means, whereby said vehicle may selectively be disabled either by operation of said hand held transmitter or by a telephone activated transmission; said receiver-disable signal generator means comprising a beeper-receiver unit mounted within said vehicle adapted to emit an signal upon receipt of a signal originating from either of said hand held transmitter or said remote transmitter, and said selectively activated vehicle disabling means further including detector means mounted in said vehicle adjacent said beeper-receiver unit and tuned so as to be activated by emission of said signal by said beeper-receiver unit, said vehicle disabling means directly responsive to said signal emitted from said beeper-receiver unit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 41 words
The security system according to claim 1 further including a vehicle motion sensor activated by said selectively operable vehicle disabling means, and a monitor transmitter turned on upon detection of vehicle motion by the sensor to broadcast a silent alarm signal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 42 words
The security system according to claim 1 further including a motion sensor activated by said beeper-receiver unit to thereafter generate a signal upon motion of said vehicle, and a monitor transmitter turned on by said signal to broadcast a silent alarm signal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 17 words
The security system according to claim 2 wherein said vehicle disabling means includes an ignition kill switch.
