1. A personal security system (5) for automatically warning a user when an item is lost (i.e., has passed beyond a predetermined distance or range from the user), or after being so lost is then found (i.e., is once again brought back within range). The system (5), is comprised of:

  • a first transceiver;

    a second transceiver in communication with the first transceiver;

    an operational communication link connecting the first and second transceivers and having a predetermined operating distance or range;

    a first memory operationally connected to the first transceiver;

    a first microprocessor operationally connected to the first memory;

    a predetermined signal stored in the first memory;

    a first user interface including a display screen operationally connected to the first transceiver;

    a first data processor operationally connected to the first transceiver;

    a first vibration device operationally connected to the first transceiver;

    a first sound device operationally connected to the first transceiver;

    a second memory operationally connected to the second transceiver;

    a second microprocessor operationally connected to the second memory;

    a predetermined signal stored in the second memory;

    a second user interface including a display screen operationally connected to the second transceiver;

    a second data processor operationally connected to the second transceiver;

    a second vibration device operationally connected to the second transceiver;

    a second sound device operationally connected to the second transceiver;

    wherein when the first and second transceivers are separated by a distance exceeding the predetermined operating range for a predetermined duration, the first transceiver and second transceiver each generates the predetermined signal (which may include vibration of the first and second transceivers and playing a predetermined alarm sound) for a predetermined duration; and

    when after being so separated, the first and second transceivers are brought back within a defined distance or operating range, the first transceiver and second transceiver each generates the predetermined signal once again for a predetermined duration. The system may include a single, second transceiver, or multiple second transceivers, each being identical except with respect to their digital signatures and settings such as range, sound, volume and duration of alarms.
