Definitions
- the system consists of an integrator between regular alarms and cellular mobile voice systems. This system has the following main functions: a) to alert the vehicle owner and third parties that the alarm was activated, regardless of the place where the vehicle is located; b) to advise three or more people or entities about the danger situation through a silent alarm; and c) the user, when responding to the alert cali can block the vehicle electronic system by impeding it to turn it on or off if started.
- the alarm scope is to cover just a specific and short distance. > With the alarms, the vehicle owner can only perceive that the alarm has been activated, but he needs to travel to the place where the vehicle is located.
- the system enables to alert the owner of the vehicle and third parties that the alarm is activated, regardless of the place where it is located.
- the system allows to advise three or more people or entities about the dangerous situation by means of a silent alarm.
- the user when responding to the alert cali, can block the system electronically and / or electrically by impeding to turn it on or off if ignited.
- the alert system scope is limited only to a cellular telephony server range, which is virtually limited.
- the system is absolutely personalized. > Since it is a two way communication system, there are assorted possib ⁇ lit ⁇ es between the owner and the vehicle.
- the patent application for the Command Alert and Receiver system through Cellular Telephony applied to veh ⁇ cle alarms as it may be seen in Figure 1, consists of:: a) a micro controller 1, b.) A dialing interface 2; c) a data memory 3; d) a cellular transmitter / receiver 4; e) a communication interface 5; f) a dtmf tone decoder 6; g) an digital audio recorder 7; h) a tone generator 8; and i) an external interface 9.
- the micro controller 1 is in charge of the system operation, which communicates through control lines and data and controls the other components. Besides, it makes the necessary decisions depending on the situations that may arise.
- the micro controller 1 can dial telephone numbers that are programmed in the system.
- the cellular transmitter / receiver 4 is the device used to make and receive calis.
- the micro controller 1 uses the communication interface 5 to receive and send audio signáis (tones and voice) to the transmitter / receiver 4.
- the dtmf tone decoder 6 converts dtmf tones received from the audio signal in codes that the micro controller 1 can interpret.
- the audio message that sends the alarm is digitally stored in the digital recording module 7. This message may be re-recorded as many times as required.
- the micro controller By means of the tone generator 8, the micro controller generates confirmation tones, validation and refusal of different commands.
- the external interface 9 consists of four modules, which enables external communication as follows: a) an electronic vehicle blockage system 10; b) visual light indicator 11; c) a silent alarm 12 and d) an alarm 13.
- the visual light indicator 11 indicates to the user if the system is active, by blocking the vehicle or turning it off. When it is active, and the vehicle is not blocked, the indicator 11 is on.
- the indicator When the vehicle is blocked, the indicator blinks, and when the indicator deactivates, ⁇ t turns off.
- the silent alarm 12 receives the alarm switch signal and indicates this to the micro controller 1 the emergency situation, so that it can start making the different calis involved in this process.
- the alarm 13 detects when the vehicle alarm is activated and sends the signal to the micro controller 1 to start the alert process.
- This module has a detector indicating what type of alarm the vehicle has.
- an external alert module 14 which is connected to the system and it is optionally activated when the vehicle is turned off once the cali is made or when the vehicle is turned off after dialing the system. At the time the alarm is activated, the parking lights start blinking and the horn sounds in the same manner. This module does not act ⁇ vate when the vehicle is turned off after the system has been called by actuating the silent alarm.
- the micro controller 1 detects that the alarm 13 is activated and the dial ⁇ ng process to advise that something abnormal is taking place starts. This process is described below: 1) It reads the first telephone number it is going to dial on the data memory 3.
- codes are sent to the cellular transmitter / receiver 4, which generates the calis to the programmed telephones.
- the communication interface activates 5 to enable audio in and out.
- the digital recording unit 7 is enabled to send the message through the call that is being made.
- the micro controller 1 turns on a timer, which regulates the maximum on hold time in the event the cali cannot be made or a voice mail machine answers.
- the dtmf decoder 6 is ready to receive the dtmf tones sent from the answering telephone.
- the dtmf tone decoder 6 receives the dtmf tones and converts them so that the micro controller 1 interprets them:
- the system blocks the vehicle both electronically and electrically through a blocking module 10 that belongs to the external interface 9, and keeps dialing; that is, it dials the second number if it has dialed the first number and there is no answer; then it dials the third one if it has dialed the second one and so on; if it has dialed the last number it re-starts the cycle.
- the hidden switch is activated, the switch is detected by the micro computer 1 through the external module.
- codes are sent to the cellular transmitter / receiver 4, which generates the calis to the programmed telephones.
- the communication interface activates 5 to enable audio in and out.
- the digital recording unit 7 is enabled to send the message through the call that is being made.
- the micro controller 1 turns on a timer, which regulates the maximum on hold time in the event the cali cannot be made or a voice mail machine answers.
- the dtmf decoder 6 is ready to receive the dtmf tones sent from the answering telephone.
- the system remains on hold for the dtmf tones sent in order to determine the action to be taken.
- the dtmf tone decoder 6 receives the dtmf tones ano! converts them so that the micro controller 1 interprets them: a) If code 1 # is received, the system blocks the vehicle both electronically and electrically through a blocking module 10 that belongs to the external interface 9 and stops the dialing process. This blockage is made at intervals to sim ⁇ late a failure in the vehicle and not an intentional blockage. It has an on and off cycle.
- the alert module 14 does not activate.
- the system blocks the vehicle both electronically and electrically through a blocking module 10 that belongs to the external interface 9, and keeps dialing; that is, it dials the third number if it has dialed the second number and there is no answer; then it dials the fourth one if it has dialed the third one and so on; if it has dialed the last number it re-starts the cycle.
- the blockage in this process is made at intervals to sim ⁇ late a failure ⁇ n the veh ⁇ cle and not an intentional blockage. It has an on and off cycle.
- the alert module 14 does not activate.
- the password which consists of 4 digits, must be dialed. It is preceded by a * and it ends with the #. If the correct password is dialed, the confirmation tone is heard. It consists of three high frequency successive tones. If the password is incorrect, a refusal tone, which consists of three low frequency tones, is heard.
- an acceptance tone which is the combination of the three successive high frequency tones, is heard.
- This function is used to listen to the pre-recorded message in the system. When the message ends, a tone indicating that the message ended, is heard, but it can be still listened until exiting that function by press ⁇ ng #.
- This function is used to record a personalized message that is sent by the system when activated. After pressing the function code, the confirmation tone is received and the recording mode is immediately available. You must speak loudly and clearly. There are 10 s to record the message. When the message ends, * must be pressed. In order to have a better recording, you must lócate yourself at more than 20 m far from the system.
- the first telephone number can be stored in the system memory. After pressing * 3, the telephone number is dialed and it ends with #. At this time, you have to hold until a confirmation tone is heard indicating that the telephone is recorded properly (2s to 3s).
- This telephone number is the first one dialed by the alarm system when the alarm 13 is activated. *
- This function is similar to the previous one. With this function, the second telephone number that is dialed when the alarm 13 is activated is stored in the memory system and the first humber is dialed when the silent alarm is activated. The operation as in the previous case is 4 *, ccepts a telephone number of maximum 11 digits, # holds for confirmation tone (2s to 3s).
- # * This function helps to activate the alert module 14 and the vehicle is blocked either electronically or electrically. An interval tone indicating that module 14 is active is heard. In order to turn off the module, # must be presses for one second.
