Abstract

A vehicle burglar alarm system includes a global position system installed in a vehicle for receiving a satellite signal, and an on-vehicle main unit installed in the vehicle and electrically connected with the global position system, the on-vehicle main unit having a first flag, the first flag having a first status without satellite signal and a second status with satellite signal for indicating satellite receiving status of the global position system, the on-vehicle main unit being to output a relocation signal immediately after changing of the first flag from the first status without satellite signal to the second status with satellite signal during burglar alarming mode.

Claims

1. A vehicle burglar alarm system comprising:

a global position system installed in a vehicle and adapted to receive at least one satellite signal; and

an on-vehicle main unit installed in the vehicle , said on-vehicle main unit having a first flag stored therein and having electrically connected thereto at least one sensor, at least one alarm, and said global position system, said at least one sensor being installed in the vehicle in a predetermined position and adapted to output a corresponding abnormal signal to said on-vehicle main unit, said on-vehicle main unit controlling said at least one alarm to output an alarm signal correspondingly, said first flag comprising a first status without satellite signal and a second status with satellite signal for indicating satellite receiving status of said global position system;

wherein when said first flag is changed from said first status without satellite signal to said second status with satellite signal after said on-vehicle main unit has been set into the burglar alarming mode, said on-vehicle main unit will output a relocation signal to said at least one alarm and control said at least one alarm to output another alarm signal.

2. The vehicle burglar alarm system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said at least one alarm includes at least one siren.

3. The vehicle burglar alarm system as claimed in claim 1, said at least one alarm includes a wireless communication apparatus wirelessly connectable to a communication address assigned by the owner of the vehicle.

4. The vehicle burglar alarm system as claimed in claim 3, wherein said communication address is a cellular telephone number.

5. The vehicle burglar alarm system as claimed in claim 3, wherein said wireless communication apparatus is a cellular telephone.

6. The vehicle burglar alarm system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said another alarm signal is a short message.
