Radio-signal-responsive vehicle device control system
First Claim
1. A radio-signal-responsive vehicle device control system comprising:
- a personal paging unit in a paging system for receiving a radio signal generated based on a signal transmitted from a calling telephone unit and containing a sound transducer which is activated based on the received radio signal to generate sounds said personal paging unit being of the type for emitting when it receives a signal initiated by a calling telephone unit a small number of distinct detectable sounds for sensing by a user, such sounds including a calling sound followed by a message sound;
personal paging unit storage means mounted in a motor vehicle for storing said personal paging unit;
detector means located in relation to said personal paging unit storage means for detecting activation of the transducer and producing detected signals including the calling detected signal and a message detected signal corresponding to the detectable sounds form the transducer of said personal paging unit;
control means which is activated by a calling detected signal from said detector means and operative for producing a control signal based on at least the message detected signal; and
actuator means for controlling at least one device in the motor vehicle based on the control signal from said control means.

Abstract
A radio-signal-responsive vehicle device control system including a receiver unit (9, 41, 74, 100) for receiving a radio signal generated based on a signal transmitted from a calling telephone unit and for generating a detectable signal based on the received radio signal, receiver unit storage structure (8, 91, 102) mounted in a motor vehicle for storing the receiver unit, a detector (D, 42, 73) for producing a detected signal in response to detection of the detectable signal from the receiver unit, a control unit (S, S'"'"', 43, 60) responsive to the detected signal from the detector for producing a control signal based on at least the detectable signal, and an actuator (A, F, 52, 56, 46, 68, 75, 517A) for controlling at least one device in the motor vehicle based on the control signal from the control unit. The vehicle device control system allows the vehicle device to be remotely controlled through a simple and low-cost arrangement, making it possible for a vehicle radio telephone unit with no reception capability to receive and transmit a signal.
