Patent References 3703714 3893069 Anti-theft door actuated hazard light and horn circuits for automobiles Anti-theft control system Vehicle security system Cellular/GPS system for vehicle tracking Vehicle security system Position reporting cellular telephone Controlling automobile alarm systems Patent #: 5677664 InventorApplicationNo. 792948 filed on 01/21/1997US Classes:340/426.19, Using GPS (i.e., location)307/10.2, Antitheft340/426.21, Paging340/988VEHICLE POSITION INDICATIONExaminersPrimary: Swarthout, Brent A.Assistant: La, Anh International ClassB60R 025/10AbstractA pager vehicle theft prevention and recovery system including an electronic transceiver and associated global positioning system(GPS) discreetly situated within a vehicle and coupled to an associated alarm system. The transceiver is adapted to transmit a pager electronic alarm signal via free space upon the activation of the alarm system. The system further comprises a remotely positionable portable receiver such as a conventional pager for receiving the pager electronic alarm signal from the transceiver via free space and further providing an audible alarm to a user. Upon verification that the vehicle is indeed stolen, the user may instruct the transceiver to transmit a continuous pager signal containing longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates generated by the GPS. To activate the transceiver in such a mode, a recovery signal may be deployed from a conventional phone or in the alternative be transmitted directly from the remotely positionable portable receiver. The longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates allow the car to be traced and recovered. | |
