SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMOBILE PROTECTION THROUGH RESIDENTIAL SECURITY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A residential security system having at least one central sensing component for sensing activities within a central environment;
- the residential security system comprising;
central security system controls comprising,protective state components for determining a protective state of the security system, andprotective zone controls for defining a protected zone of the security system, the protective zone extendable beyond the central environment; and
at least one selectively recognized remote sensing component located within an object remote from the central environment, wherein the selective recognition is dependent upon the protective state and the protective zone controls.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method and system for providing a residential security system that is also capable of protecting a remote mobile object. The remote mobile object may be a vehicle such as an automobile. The residential security system may include at least one central sensing component for sensing activities within a central environment and central security system controls such as protective state components for determining a protective state of the security system and protective zone controls for defining a protected zone of the security system. The protective zone is extendable beyond the central environment. The system may additionally include at least one selectively recognized remote sensing component located within an automobile remote from the central environment, wherein the selective recognition is dependent upon the protective state and the protective zone controls.

12. A residential security system having multiple protective states for protecting a residence, the protective states including at least an armed occupied state and an armed unoccupied state, the residential security system comprising:
-
a remote sensor disposed within a remote object; central security system controls for communicating with the remote sensor; an alarm system for generating an alarm based upon communications from the remote sensor to the central security system controls; and a timing component triggering a predetermined time span upon exit of a user from the residence and entry of the residential security system into the armed unoccupied state, wherein during the predetermined time span, the remote sensor communicates with the central security system controls without automatically activating the alarm system. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method for protecting a remote object through a residential security system, the residential security system having security system central controls, and the remote object equipped with a remote sensor in communication with the residential security system, the method comprising:
-
receiving communications at the security system central controls from the remote sensor upon detection by the remote sensor of intrusion into the remote object; and selectively reacting to the communications from the remote sensor based upon a protective state of the residential security system and a protective zone of the residential security system, wherein the security system central controls generate an alert only if the remote object is in the protective zone and is in a predetermined protective state. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
