Portable Instantaneous Wireless Event Based Photo Identification and Alerting Security System
First Claim
1. A method for providing portable instantaneous wireless event based photo identification and alerting comprising:
- detecting, by at least one sensor, an intrusion;
taking at least one picture of an intruder responsive to detecting the intrusion;
compressing the at least one picture to form a compressed format file;
communicating, by a portable wireless device, an electronic message including the compressed format file, the electronic message indicating detection of the intrusion to at least one of a person or a device;
playing at least one audio message to alert the intruder that the intrusion has been detected; and
thereby providing instantaneous wireless event based photo identification and alerting.

Abstract
A portable instantaneous wireless event based photo identification and alerting security system ideally suited for mobile protection of property, spaces and people, and for protection in motor vehicles, residences, businesses and other commercial locations, either as a stand alone system or as an addition in whole or in part to existing security systems when an intruder enters into personal spaces, detection devices determine the intruder'"'"'s presence and digital photographs are immediately taken, and securely transmitted to pre-determined recipients that may include an owner-operator, apprehending authorities or others. Time and date are annotated to these photographs. Furthermore, an audio message is sent to the owner-operator, apprehending authorities or others that the intrusion is occurring, also annotating this information with time and date, thus enabling an opportunity to respond immediately to the intrusion. If desired, a local audio message at the intrusion location may announce to the intruder that detection has been made and or that photographs have already been taken and securely transmitted.

8. A method for providing portable instantaneous wireless event based photo identification and alerting, said method comprising:
-
monitoring a local environment and one or more preset conditions for any changes by at least one central processing unit (CPU);
detecting one or more changes to said preset conditions by said CPU and commanding at least one digital camera to commence taking one or more digital photographs of said local environment in response to detection of said changes to said preset conditions;
storing said digital photographs in a data storage module;
annotating said digital photographs with at least one of a date and a time and compressing said digital photographs to form a compressed format file; and
transmitting, via wireless communication, an electronic message that indicates detection of said changes to said preset conditions, to a pre-programmed address, said electronic message including the annotated and compressed digital photographs. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
