SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACTIVATING AND DEACTIVATING A REMOTELY CONTROLLED VEHICLE STARTER
First Claim
1. In combination with a vehicle having a remotely controlled starter, a system for at least one of activating and deactivating said remotely controlled starter, said system comprising:
- (a) a wireless communication device positioned within confines of said vehicle for receiving a first command signal and for transmitting a second command signal, said wireless communication device having at least a sound emitting speaker mounted therewithin;
(b) a wireless transmitter positioned within said confines of said vehicle for transmitting a third command signal in response to receipt of said second command signal, said third command signal causing at least one of activation and deactivation of said remotely controlled starter; and
(c) means for electrically connecting a speaker circuit of said wireless communication device to a start switch circuit disposed within said wireless transmitter.

Abstract
A system for activating and deactivating a remotely controlled vehicle starter includes a handheld mobile communication device having at least a speaker mounted therein and a wireless transmitter having at least a start switch mounted therein. A first wire connects a negative voltage supply path to the speaker circuit with a negative voltage supply path to the start switch circuit. A variable resistor is provided and has a pair of end terminals. There is a second wire having each of a first end thereof electrically connected to a positive voltage supply path to the speaker circuit and an opposed second end thereof electrically connected to one terminal end of the variable resistor. A third wire is also provided to connect an opposed end terminal of the variable resistor to a positive voltage supply path to the start switch.

9. A method for at least one of activating and deactivating a remotely controlled vehicle starter by a combination of a handheld mobile communication device and a handheld transmitter, said method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) coupling a negative voltage supply path to a speaker circuit of said handheld mobile communication device to a negative voltage supply path to a start switch circuit of said handheld transmitter; (b) coupling one end terminal of a variable resistor to a positive voltage supply path to said speaker circuit; (c) coupling an opposed end terminal of a variable resistor to a positive voltage supply path to said start switch circuit; (d) adjusting said variable resistor to supply a predetermined voltage to said start switch circuit; (e) positioning each of said handheld mobile communication device, said variable resister and said handheld transmitter, coupled therebetween in steps (a) through (c) within confines of said vehicle; (f) generating, at a remote location, a first command signal; (g) receiving, at said handheld mobile communication device, said first command signal; (h) transmitting, with said handheld mobile communication device, a second command signal; (i) receiving, at said handheld transmitter, said second command signal, transmitted in step (i); and (j) transmitting, with said handheld transmitter, a third command signal. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
