Abstract

A security alarm system and method for an electronic device generates analog sensing signals in the security device if the security device is being unlocked. The system and method further converts the analog sensing signals into digital sensing signals, and generates an alert instruction according to the digital sensing signals.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising a security alarm system, the device comprising:

a wireless BLUETOOTH module in communication with a security device;

a display screen;

a loudspeaker;

a sensing module operable to detect whether the security device is being unlocked, and to generate analog sensing signals if the security device is being unlocked;

a converting module operable to convert the analog sensing signals into digital sensing signals, and transmit the digital sensing signals to the electronic device via the wireless BLUETOOTH connection; and

an alarm module operable to generate an alert instruction according to the digital sensing signals and transmit the alert instruction to the display screen and/or the loudspeaker.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the alert instruction comprises a visual alert instruction and an audio alert instruction.

3. The system according to claim 2, wherein the alarm module is further operable to transmit the visual alert instruction to the display screen of the electronic device.

4. The system according to claim 2, wherein the alarm module is further operable to transmit the audio alert instruction to the loudspeaker of the electronic device.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein the security device comprises a coded lock and a keylock.

6. A security alarm method for an electronic device, the method comprising:

establishing a wireless BLUETOOTH connection between a security device and the electronic device;

invoking a security alarm system in the electronic device and the security device;

detecting whether the security device is being unlocked by a sensor in the security device;

generating analog sensing signals in the security device if the security device is being unlocked;

converting the analog sensing signals into digital sensing signals;

transmitting the digital sensing signals to the electronic device via the wireless BLUETOOTH connection;

generating an alert instruction according to the digital sensing signals; and

transmitting the alert instruction to a display screen and/or a loudspeaker.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the alert instruction comprises a visual alert instruction and an audio alert instruction.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the visual alert instruction is transmitted to the display screen of the electronic device.

9. The method according to claim 7, wherein the audio alert instruction is transmitted to the loudspeaker of the electronic device.

10. The method according to claim 6, wherein the security device comprises a coded lock and a keylock.

11. A storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform security alarm method for an electronic device, the method comprising:

establishing a wireless BLUETOOTH connection between a security device and the electronic device;

invoking a security alarm system in the electronic device and the burglar system in the security device;

detecting whether the security device is being unlocked by a sensor in the security device;

generating analog sensing signals in the security device if the security device is being unlocked;

converting the analog sensing signals into digital sensing signals;

transmitting the digital sensing signals to the electronic device via the wireless BLUETOOTH connection;

generating an alert instruction according to the digital sensing signals; and

transmitting the alert instruction to a display screen and/or a loudspeaker.

12. The medium according to claim 11, wherein the alert instruction comprises a visual alert instruction and an audio alert instruction.

13. The medium according to claim 12, wherein the visual alert instruction is transmitted to the display screen of the electronic device.

14. The medium according to claim 12, wherein the audio alert instruction is transmitted to the loudspeaker of the electronic device.

15. The medium according to claim 11, wherein the security device comprises a coded lock and a key lock.
