Abstract

Security alarm Transmitting Device comprising the ability to receive and process input from security alarm sensors, including photographic imaging devices, and immediately transmit a wireless telecommunications notification to the user at a preselected destination point (telephone, cellular telephone, picture telephone, numeric or alphanumeric pager or text message device) via available cellular, satellite or internet telecommunications systems, including internet telephone calls, for the purpose of providing to the user direct notification of a security breach.

Claims

1. A Telecommunications Device comprising:

1. means for receiving and processing electronic information from any kind of vehicle or home security alarm sensor device, such as motion, shock or circuit interruption sensor devices, or photographic image devices used for capturing an image when triggered by an alarm event;

2. means for providing, via available telephone, cellular telephone, picture telephone or numeric or alphanumeric pager or text messaging system or device, transmitted via telecommunications channels, including internet telephone calls, immediate notification of a triggered alarm event;

3. means, either directly using a numeric key pad, or by coded wireless transmissions to the Transmitting Device via available telecommunications channels, for activating, deactivating and resetting the Transmitting Device, and changing the number to be called when providing immediate notification to the user of a triggered alarm event;

4. means to monitor full featured vehicle and home security alarm systems and initiate telecommunication notifications to telephones, cellular phones, picture phones, numeric and alphanumeric and text message devices, including internet telephone calls (requires a direct internet connection) resulting from triggered alarm sensor detections, and is powered by car voltage electricity, or an AC adapter for non vehicle use, such as for home or office security.

5. triggered alarm event means a predetermined occurrence resulting from an alarm system sensor or device intended to provide security for the monitored property or location, and that a breach of that security has occurred;

6. predetermined occurrence means a wireless telecommunications transmission consisting of an alarm notification message in the form of a numeric (Caller ID), alphanumeric or text or synthesized voice message notification, which can be accompanied by a photographic image for a picture phone;

7. wireless transmission means initiation and completion of a wireless telecommunications transmission, including photo imaging transmissions, via available telephone, cellular telephone, picture telephone, numeric or alphanumeric pager or text message systems, using cellular, satellite or internet telecommunications services, such as Internet Telephone Calls, after which the transmitting device automatically resets to repeat the programmed function. In the event that the transmission is not completed during the initial attempt, the Transmitting Device will repeat the function until completed.

8. photographic imaging transmission means an alarm system comprising a photographic imaging device designed to capture a photographic image when triggered by a sensor device, and the transmission of the captured image via telecommunications channels to a picture phone or other image receiving device.
