Theft-proof system has been widely used in houses, automobiles and motorcycles to prevent them from being invaded, destroyed or stolen. The theft-proof system will place a host inside the object (such as houses, automobiles, motorcycles and etc.) that is being monitored, and will also set sensors or vibration switches on windows, doors, car hoods, car doors or trunks. When the system is working, a remote controller is used to activate/deactivate the theft-proof system for the purpose of remote controlling. When the object suffer from unusual vibration or being invaded, and that will make host inside the object send a warning message to inform the user at the same time.
But this kind of alarm sometimes confuses the user, because most users have not heard the sound of the theft-proof alarm. Thus when once hearing the alarm you even don't know what the sound is, and in this way you will not only lose the first chance to handle this situation but also lose the chance to call the police at the right moment. Finally, a heavy loss will be unavoidable.
There is another car theft-proof system can be seen on market, it can send a message to the remote-controller of the user and the alarm in the car will start to ring at the same time when the car is being invaded. The user will know this from the flashing light of the remote-controller when it received a message from the car. But this just only give the user simple information of your car is being touched or hit. In many situations the alarm in your car starts to ring just because of the vibration cause by a pass by of a truck or the crawl of a cat or a dog. Hence, a simple message warning cannot let the user know what kind of situation run into your car and even cannot tell if the car is being invaded or not. It will result in a waste of effort and time of the user to check what's going on. The drawbacks of existing theft-proof system are obviously as we just describe above, and there is still a lot of improving space for the theft-proof system.
In order to effectively resolve the drawbacks that usually annoy the user, the inventor finished this universal theft-proof device with the advantages of both convenience and safety via studying, testing, and improving constantly. Hopefully, this invention will bring much more safety to the humankind.
This invention is about a universal remote-controllable theft-proof device. Its main functions including single user mode and multi-user mode, and both modes can set theft-proof state on each part (the default picture is shown on the screen) of one or more subjects that are being monitored. It will notify the user by ways of appearing in sound, vibration or display picture immediately when the part is invaded, and that can make the user react properly and seek a solution at the right moment. Therefore, it makes this invention become a more convenient, practical and humanized one.
In this case, this system needs a host to be placed inside the object (such as houses, automobiles, motorcycles and etc.) that is being monitored in order to cooperate with the theft-proof device. This remote-controller contains a shell which has a circuit structure inside it and its surface including: a.) A display screen which was used to display the representative symbol of the subject being monitored and can also reveal which part of the object is being hit or burst into. Besides the display screen also shows all the keys used to setup the system. b.) One power ON/OFF key, which is used to turn on/off the theft-proof system. c.) One step control key, which includes up, middle and down buttons. The up and down buttons are used to enter the option menu or leave it, and the middle button is used to select the function you want. d.) Three function keys and they are used to lock/unlock the object being monitored and activate/deactivate the theft-proof system and to open the specific part of the object. e.) One antenna is connected to the TX-RX module to transmit signal and receive the signal to the CPU module. f.) One key ring which is used to attach the keys. And the circuit structure includes:
This invention provide a novel remote-controllable theft-proof device, especially the one which can show the representative symbol of each part of one or more than one object being monitored on the display screen 11 of the remote-controller 1. When detecting a signal from the sensor it will flash the symbol of the part on the object on the display screen to let the user know which part is being destroyed or invaded. Thus a much more convenient and practical way is come up to against burglar.
The appearance of the remote-controller 1 is show in
A display screen 11, which is used to display all the keys used to setup the system, the representative symbol of the object being monitored, and can reveal which part of the object is being invaded or destroyed.
A power ON/OFF key 12, which is used to turn on/off the theft-proof system.
A step control key 13, which includes up, middle and down buttons, the up and down buttons are used to enter the option menu or leave, and the middle button is used to select the function you want.
Three function keys (14, 15 and 16), and they are used to lock/unlock the object being monitored, activate/deactivate the theft-proof system, and to open the specific part of the object.
An antenna 17, which is connected to the TX-RX module 22. This antenna is also used to transmit signal or receive signal to the CPU module 21.
A key ring 18, which is used to attach the keys;
The circuit structure 20 described above are shown in
A CPU module 21, which is the core cell of this device. Its main function includes: (a) decoding the digital signal received from the TX-RX module 22; (b) monitoring all the sensors and checking if they are being triggered; (c) sending a signal through LCD1 to the display screen 11 to let the user know which sensor is being triggered; (d) in the standby mode, when receiving a signal from the sensor it will send a beep message from Q1 (BUZZER DRIVER) to inform the user. If the user switches into the vibrating mode a vibrating message from Q3 (MOTOR DRIVER) will be send to inform the user instead; (e) this CPU module also control the operation and function of SW1˜SW7.
A TX-RX module is used to receive the radio signal at the desired frequency, and the CPU module is used to decode the signal.
A power supply which provide a 1.5-volt voltage and that will be boosted to 3.0 volt via U4 for the CPU module to use; U3 (POWER ON RESET) that will reset the CPU module to restart the whole system.
The universal theft-proof device is constructed from all the components described above.
The build-in representative symbol of the object being monitored in our remote-controller of this theft-proof system at least includes: automobiles, houses, garage doors, and motorcycles. And the object being monitored will need a host placed inside and sensors to be setup at important parts of it.
About the setup and operation of the remote-controller, please also refer to
When the system is in its standby mode, each time the sensor is being triggered the antenna of the remote-controller will receive a signal from RX-RX module 22 and send it to the CPU module 21. Then the CPU module 21 will send a signal to LCD1, and then show on the display screen of which part of your object is being invaded or destroyed. Thus, the user can immediately react and perform a right solution at the first moment.
To summarize, this invention-universal theft-proof device has its own special semi-automatic design. Thus, it has the advantages of safety, convenience, power saving and humanization. However this invention has not been seen in the paper or used on market, so it is suitable for the application of new invention.
