Abstract

The Personal possession alarm comprises of a fob and a receiver. The fob is a portable wireless device while the receiver is fixed to the personal possession. Both the fob and the receiver are made up of rigid plastic with the electrical components enclosed. At present the system provides three function options:

1: Proximity Detection—when a preset distance between the fob and the receiver is exceeded, the system will trigger an alarm on both the fob and receiver.

2: Movement Detection—when the personal possession is disturbed, the system will trigger an alarm on both the fob and receiver.

3: Both functions can operate simultaneously.

As the alarm alerts the user of the possible theft or disturbance of the possession, it also forces the thief to abandon the possession. This device could be effectively adhered to a wide variety of personal possessions.
