Abstract

A home and auto security system that enables a user to activate and deactivate various items, such as the locking and unlocking of a door, the turning on and off of lights, and the activation and deactivation of a security system, with the use of a wireless transmitter in a key fob. The key fob includes various buttons such that when depressed, signals are transmitted from the key fob. A receiver/controller is positioned in a building or home and a vehicle, such that upon the reception of a signal from the transmitter of the key fob, a predetermined function is carried out by the receiver/controller. The key fob includes a security device to prevent unauthorized users from operating the transmitter in the key fob.

Claims

1. A home keyless entry device, said device comprising;

a key fob, said key fob including a plurality of buttons and a transmitter, said transmitter for transmitting a first signal in response to the depression of at least a first of said plurality of buttons; and

a controller positioned in the home, said controller for receiving said signal transmitted from said transmitter, said controller for controlling the unlocking of a door in the home in response to receiving said first signal transmitted from said transmitter.

2. The device as recited in claim 1, wherein said plurality of buttons is a plurality of shapes to facilitate the identification of each of said plurality of buttons by shape.

3. The device as recited in claim 1, wherein said key fob includes a security device connected to said transmitter, said security device configured to permit select users to operate said transmitter.

4. The device as recited in claim 2, wherein said security device permitting the operation of said transmitter upon the depression of a pattern of said plurality of buttons.

5. The device recited in claim 1, wherein said key fob includes a light, said light operable in response to a user depressing one of said plurality of buttons.

6. The device as recited in claim 1, wherein said controller further for controlling the locking of the door in the home in response to receiving a signal from said transmitter.

7. The device as recited in claim 1, wherein said controller further for controlling the turning on and off of a light in the home in response to receiving a signal from said transmitter.

8. A security device comprising:

a transmitter for transmitting signals, said transmitter including a plurality of buttons, said transmitter transmitting signals in response to the depression of at least one of said plurality of buttons;

a first controller positioned in a home, said first controller for controlling the unlocking and locking of a door in the home in response to said first controller receiving a signal transmitted from said transmitter; and

a second controller positioned in a vehicle, said second controller for controlling the unlocking and locking of a door in vehicle in response to said second controller receiving a signal transmitted from said transmitter.

9. The security device as recited in claim 8, and further including a key fob, with said transmitter positioned in said key fob.

10. The security device as recited in claim 8, wherein said first controller further for controlling turning a light in the home on and off in response to said first controller receiving a signal transmitted from said transmitter.

11. The security device as recited in claim 8, wherein said first controller further for controlling the activation and deactivation of a security system in the home in response to said first controller receiving a signal transmitted from said transmitter.

12. The security device recited in claim 8, wherein said second controller further for controlling the activation and deactivation of a security system in the vehicle in response to said second controller receiving a signal transmitted from said transmitter.

13. The security device as recited in claim 9, wherein said key fob includes a security device connected to said transmitter, said security device configured to permit select users to operate said transmitter.

14. The security device as recited in claim 13, wherein said plurality of buttons is a plurality of shapes to facilitate the identification of each of said plurality of buttons by shape.

15. A security device comprising:
