Abstract

Hand held Remote Transponder Breathalyzer comprises of a portable breathalyzer device having a breath sensor circuitry used for converting given breath sample content into electronic signals; and a processor for storing a toxic breath setting and processing received conditioned electronic signals, and for comparing the received electronic conditioned signals with a preset threshold setting stored in the memory storage of the processor, and accordingly controlling the functional operation of a uniquely coded transponder circuitry.

If given breath sample into the transponder breathalyzer sensor generated electronic conditioned signal is below toxic breath setting threshold. The processor upon receipt of the non-toxic electronic signal transmits a signal to activate for a preset time the functional operation of the transponder circuitry.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention the Remote Transponder Breathalyzer additionally utilizes a voice recognition method, accordingly only given user be able to operate the Remote Transponder Breathalyzer.

Claims

1. - A hand held remote RFID Transponder Breathalyzer device comprises of,

a battery as power supply to provide power to the breathalyzer sensor circuitry, for converting user given breath content into electronic signals, and

a processor for storing a toxic breath setting in the memory storage, and processing the conditioned electronic signals, and for comparing the processed conditioned signals with stored toxic breath setting, and for controlling the functional operation of a uniquely coded transponder circuitry,

said transponder being operative in response to user given breath sample into said transponder breathalyzer device in which the conditioned electronic signals are substantially similar to one of below the toxic breath setting threshold, the processor upon receipt of said below toxic threshold breath signal, transmits a signal to activate for a preset time the functional operation of the transponder circuitry.

2. - Remote RFID transponder breathalyzer as claimed in claim 1 wherein said transponder breathalyzer device is designed to communicate with a vehicle mount engine immobilizer CPU equipped with an RF transponder reader circuitry, being installed in a vehicle having a processor to store the uniquely coded remote transponder code, which upon reading said uniquely coded transponder code disables said vehicle engine immobilizer circuitry.

3. - Remote RFID transponder breathalyzer as claimed in claim 2 wherein said vehicle mount engine immobilize unit of the present invention uses a processor designed to passively interlock the vehicle engine when the vehicle engine is turned off, to ascertain the vehicle operator not be able to restart vehicle engine without the use of remote RFID transponder breathalyzer.

4. - Remote RFID breathalyzer as claimed in claim 1 wherein said remote breathalyzer sensor circuit additionally utilizes human breath sensor, or microphone circuitry to determine given breath into remote breathalyzer is of human versus bogus air.

5. - Remote RFID breathalyzer as claimed in claim 1 wherein said remote breathalyzer additionally utilizes an electronic speech and or voice recognition circuitry, designed to allow given user speech password or voice recognition to activate for a preset time the operation of said remote transponder, comprises of;

a microphone for converting spoken expression into electronic signals and a breathalyzer sensor for converting given breath content into electronic signals, an audio and breathalyzer sensor circuit for conditioning the electronic signals from the microphone and breathalyzer sensor, a memory storage for storing speech templates and toxic breath setting, a processor for processing the conditioned electronic signals and for simultaneously comparing the processed conditioned electronic signals with the speech templates, and the toxic breath setting threshold stored in said memory storage, the processor generating a signal to activate for a preset time functional operation of transponder circuitry, only when the processed conditioned electronic signals are substantially similar to one of the speech templates and below the toxic breath setting threshold.

6. - Remote RFID transponder breathalyzer as claimed in claim 1 said remote RFID transponder breathalyzer additional contains built-in RF transmitter for transmitting remote RF signal(s) to a vehicle mount RF receiver unit to lock/unlock said vehicle doors, open truck, or start said vehicle engine.

7. - Remote speech or voice recognition RFID tag device utilizing an electronic speech and or voice recognition circuitry, designed to allow given user speech password or voice recognition to activate for a preset time the operation of said remote transponder, which comprises of;

a microphone for converting spoken expression into electronic signals, and a processor for conditioning the electronic signals from the microphone, a memory storage for storing speech templates, said processor for processing said conditioned electronic signals and for comparing the processed conditioned electronic signals with the speech templates stored in said memory storage, said processor generating a signal to activate for a preset time functional operation of said transponder circuitry in response to processed conditioned electronic signals which are substantially similar to one of the speech templates.

8. - A hand held Remote Transponder Breathalyzer comprises of a portable breathalyzer device having a breath sensor circuitry used for converting given breath sample content into electronic signals;

and a processor for storing a toxic breath setting and processing received conditioned electronic signals, and for comparing the received electronic conditioned signals with a preset threshold setting stored in the memory storage of the processor, accordingly controlling the functional operation of a uniquely coded transponder circuitry,

said transponder being operative in response to user given breath sample into said transponder breathalyzer device in which the conditioned electronic signals are below toxic breath setting threshold, the processor upon receipt of said below toxic threshold breath signal transmits a signal to activate for a preset time the functional operation of the transponder circuitry.
