VEHICLE ALARM SYSTEM

A vehicle alarm system comprises an electronic control unit within the vehicle interconnected with the ignition circuit of the vehicle such that, on breaking of the ignition circuit, the unit is primed for activation, and deactivation means operation of which deactivates the alarm system. The arrangement is such that, unless the deactivation means are operated prior to use of the vehicle - for example prior to completion of the ignition circuit or within a predetermined time of a user sitting on the driver's seat - the control unit transmits a signal indicative of unauthorised use of the vehicle, which signal activates receiving means remote from the vehicle. The receiving means may be mounted in traffic lights for relaying information as to vehicle movement to a central control.

A vehicle security system

A transmitter 20 is provided for transmitting a command signal, the transmitter including a rolling code generator 26 operable in response to a control logic 22 to provide a code forming at least part of said transmitted signal. The code is automatically changeable at intervals. A receiver 30 is provided which receives the transmitted signal for operating a vehicle lock. The receiver includes a rolling code generator 34 operable in response to a control logic 35 to provide a code associated with or related to the transmitted code and automatically changeable at intervals substantially in synchronism with the timing of code changes in the transmitter 20. The receiver is arranged to operate the security device even if the codes in the transmitter and receiver are up to a certain number of steps out of synchronism, that number increasing with time. The code change interval is notified to the receiver by the transmitter, and may itself change. ...

Vehicle tracking

User identifying vehicle control and theft prevention means

The control means comprises data entry means 30, 31 designed to transmit a predetermined signal to the system receiver 32, a decoder 33, 34 for processing the signal, means 38 to recognize which one of a plurality of valid signals was entered, and means to control vehicle electrical functions (driver seat position, mirrors, steering wheel etc) in response to which valid signal was recognized. In the theft prevention system, operation of the vehicle is disabled by interrupting the ignition circuit, but is enabled when an authorized operator enters a valid signal by means 30, 31. The system sounds an alarm and/or flashes the vehicle's interior lights, parking lights, and/or headlights, in the event of unauthorized entry or unusual disturbance. The system has the ability to differentiate between a plurality of authorized operators of the vehicle, and contains a logic processing device (72, Fig. 5) adapted to interface to automotive electrical functions such as memory devices programmed to ...

A two-step alarm disarming device

In an alarm for an enclosed space (eg a vehicle theft alarm) an externally accessible keyswitch (or the like) achieves temporary disarming to allow an authorised person sufficient access to an internal arming/disarming arrangement. The externally accessible device may be remotely actuable (eg by radio). The internal device may be associated with the ignition switch. ...

A TWO STEP ALARM DISARMING DEVICE WITH AUTOMATIC REARMING FEATURE

Vehicle security system with secure valet switch

Security locking device

A cylinder-type lock has sensors (for example proximity sensors) 20 mounted above tumblers 17, the outputs of the sensors being connected to a microprocessor (not shown). The correct key 30 produces a specific pattern of signals from the sensors 20 as it is inserted into the passageway 16 due to its distinct profile, and this pattern of signals is compared with a pattern preprogrammed into the microprocessor, to produce an output only if the two patterns of signals agree. The output of the microprocessor may, for example, be connected to an alarm system which is normally activated, but which is de-activated in response to an output from the microprocessor. Thus, even if the lock is picked or forced, the microprocessor will not product an output and the alarm will therefore remain activated such that it sounds when the door in which the lock is mounted is opened. Disk tumbler arrangements may be employed and the output can be used to disable a vehicle ignition. ...

ELECTRONIC ANTI-THEFT DEVICE

Portable anti-theft alarm

A portable bar (10) is provided which locks to a vehicle steering wheel (12), preferably at the uppermost section of the rim (13), and extends to where it is fully visible from outside of the vehicle. In the preferred embodiment, the bar is a hollow tube (30) in which a pair of clamping members, one being a fixed section (32) of the tube and the other part (34) hinged thereto, surrounds and is locked about the steering wheel rim. A cavity (57) in the tube protectively encloses, along with anti-saw-through bars (54, 65), alarm circuitry (44) and the batteries (57) therefor. Light and sound annunciators on the bar and a flashing LED armed-condition indicator are provided. A panic button on the outside of the tube to manually trigger the alarm, and push button selectors (53, 54) enclosed in the tube and accessible only when the device is unlocked to arm and disarm the alarm and to activate the light to serve as a flashlight or emergency flasher, are also provided. ...

SECURITY DEVICE

"Self-priming interlock/warning system"

The output of an interlock/warning system can be inhibited so that an abnormal condition can be permitted to exist without an interlock/warning output being generated. Once a condition of normality has returned and remains in existence for a predetermined period of time (timer A) the "Inhibit" is removed automatically from the output so that any subsequent abnormal condition will give rise to an interlock/warning output. An abnormal condition can be rendered ineffective within (say) 7 seconds of its existence (timer B) by the application of a "cancel" signal. Failure to apply a "cancel" signal (within the 7 second period) once an abnormal condition occurs will result in an interlock/warning output being generated for a predetermined period (timer C). One application is that of a vehicle alarm - where the use of seat switches enables the abnormal (occupied) condition to exist without sounding a warning once a cancel signal has been applied. Once the vehicle is left unattended with doors/ ...

When the proper numbered code is entered, the battery is rendered either operative or inoperative, as desired. When the battery has been inactivated and an incorrect number is entered, as by an unauthorized person, the battery remains inactivated, but an alarm (62) is energized.

Key detection switch for vehicle entry and security systems

A vehicle entry and security system includes a key cylinder that is operated using a key. A first cable has one end attached to the key cylinder. A mechanical actuator is attached to an opposite end of the first cable. A second cable has one end attached to the mechanical actuator. A latch is connected to an opposite end of the second cable and releases a door or a trunk. The mechanical actuator triggers a switch when the key operates the key cylinder. A vehicle security system triggers an alarm when the door or trunk is opened without using a key fob. The vehicle security system monitors the state of the switch and prevents the alarm from being triggered when the switch is in a second state. When the key is operated a first number of times within a first period, the vehicle security system reprograms the key fob.

Audible antitheft alarm for motor vehicle - has timing circuits to allow driver to alight before operating, and utilises door operated contact to actuate capacitor charging circuit

The antithief device is for a motor vehicle and provides an audible alarm signal whose sound is different according to the manner in which it was intitiated. This avoids confusion with the operation of the vehicle horn. A contact in the interior light switch is closed when the vehicle door is opened. This allows a capacitor to charge with a time constant of 20 seconds. This action allows a second capacitor to charge through a variable resistor to provide a timing circuit for the entry time. A parallel resistor set timing for the alarm duration. An output timing circuit has a parallel capacitor and resistor circuit which allows the driver time to arm the circuit and alight from the vehicle. A multivibrator operates a relay which controls an audible sound unit to produce a modulated signal.
