Abstract

Disclosed is a burglarproof apparatus for an automobile using a mobile phone, which includes a door sensor for recognizing opening and closing of a door and sending a control signal accordingly, an input unit installed near a driver seat for receiving image and voice and sending it to an in-car mobile phone, and an in-car mobile phone in wire connection to the door sensor and the input unit for wireless communication so that the in-car mobile phone makes a phone call to a mobile phone of an owner of the car when it is detected that the door is abnormally opened in order to prevent burglary of the car in advance and so that, even though the car is robbed, the car may be retaken with the use of GPS (geometric positioning system) of the in-car mobile phone installed in the car and through features, voice and surrounding noise input to and transmitted by the input unit.
