Abstract

A door bell notification and personal protection system includes a warning notification module adapted to recognize at least one of a door bell notification from a door bell ringer or emergency transmission signal from a wireless transmitter and thereafter provide a recognition signal to a microprocessor. The microprocessor is adapted to retrieve dog barking sounds stored in a memory and provide the dog barking sounds to at least one of an amplifier or radio frequency transmitter after the microprocessor receives the recognition signal from the warning notification module. Dog barking sounds can be broadcasted using the wireless transmitter. A delay module can enable processing with a delay time after first receipt of the recognition signal. A random module can enable random retrieval of various dog barking sounds from memory for processing. A time out module can disable operation of the microprocessor at a set time after recognition signal receipt.

Claims

1. A door bell notification and personal security system, comprising:

a warning notification module adapted to recognize at least one of a door bell notification initiated from a door bell ringer or an emergency transmission signal sent from a wireless transmitter including a portable transmitter carried by a user, and to thereafter provide a recognition signal to a microprocessor;

a memory containing dog barking sounds; and

a microprocessor adapted to retrieve dog barking sounds from the memory and provide the dog barking sounds to at least one of an amplifier or radio frequency transmitter after the microprocessor receives the recognition signal from the warning notification module,

a delay module cooperating with the a microprocessor to retrieves dog barking sounds from the memory and provides the dog barking sounds to at least one of an amplifier or radio frequency transmitter a present delay of one or more seconds after the microprocessor receives the recognition signal from the warning notification module; and

a random module cooperating with the microprocessor to retrieve various dog barking sounds for a preselected dog type from the memory and provides the various dog barking sounds for preselected dog type randomly to at least one of an amplifier or radio frequency transmitter with a delay time after the microprocessor receives the recognition signal from the warning notification module.

2. The door bell notification and personal protection system of claim 1 further comprising a time out module, wherein the time out module disable operation of the microprocessor at a set time after the microprocessor first receives the recognition signal from the warning notification module.

3. The door bell notification and personal protection system of claim 1 wherein radio frequency transmitter is adapted to broadcast the dog barking sounds provided by the microprocessor to at least one public radio station frequency.

4. The door bell notification and personal protection system of claim 1 further comprising a microphone, wherein the microphone operates with the microprocessor and the memory to recognize door bell sounds, wherein said door bell sounds are first recognized to enable retrieval of dog barking sounds from memory and rendering of the dog barking sounds by the system via the least one of the radio frequency transmitter or the amplifier.

13. The method of claim 1 further comprising a step wherein a microphone is provided that operates with the microprocessor and the memory to enable the microprocessor to recognize door bell sounds stored in the memory.

5. A security system, comprising:

a warning notification module adapted to recognize at least one of a door bell notification initiated from a door bell ringer or an emergency transmission signal sent from a wireless transmitter including a portable transmitter carried by a user, and to thereafter provide a recognition signal to a microprocessor;

a memory containing dog barking sounds;

a microprocessor adapted with a delay module to retrieve dog barking sounds from the memory and provide the dog barking sounds to at least one of an amplifier or radio frequency transmitter at least one second after the microprocessor receives the recognition signal from the warning notification module; and

a random module, wherein the random module enables the microprocessor to retrieves various dog barking sounds from the memory and provides the various dog barking sounds randomly to at least one of an amplifier or radio frequency transmitter with a delay time after the microprocessor receives the recognition signal from the warning notification module;

wherein said portable transmitter includes buttons that allow the user to control home security system arming functionality and emergency calling functions through said personal security system.

6. The security system of claim 5 further comprising a time out module, wherein the time out module disable operation of the microprocessor at a set time after the microprocessor first receives the recognition signal from the warning notification module.

7. The security system of claim 5 wherein radio frequency transmitter is adapted to broadcast the dog barking sounds provided by the microprocessor to at least one public radio station frequency.

8. The security system of claim 5 further comprising a microphone, wherein the microphone operates with the microprocessor and the memory to recognize door bell sounds, wherein said door bell sounds are first recognized to enable retrieval of dog barking sounds from memory and rendering of the dog barking sounds by the system via the least one of the radio frequency transmitter or the amplifier.

9. A method providing door bell notification and personal security toil occupants of a residence, comprising:

providing a home security system including door bell notification and personal security system and further including a memory containing dog barking sounds and a microprocessor programmed to recognize at least one of a door bell notification initiated from a door bell ringer or an emergency transmission signal sent from a wireless transmitter including a portable transmitter carried by a user;

wirelessly providing alarm functionality and emergency call rendering functions from the portable transmitter through said system;

the microprocessor recognizing at least one of a door bell notification initiated from the door bell ringer or an emergency transmission signal sent from the wireless transmitter;

the microprocessor retrieving dog barking sounds from a memory after a preset delay;

the microprocessor providing the dog barking sounds to at least one of an amplifier or radio frequency transmitter;

a delay module cooperating with the microprocessor to retrieve dog barking sounds from the memory and provides the dog barking sounds to the at least of an amplifier or radio frequency transmitter a preset delay of one or more seconds after the microprocessor receives the recognition signal from the warning notification module; and

a random module cooperating with the microprocessor to retrieve various dog barking sounds for a preselected dog type from the memory and provides the various dog barking sounds for the preselected dog type randomly to at least one of an amplifier or radio frequency transmitter with a delay time after the microprocessor receives the recognition signal from the warning notification module.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising a step wherein the microprocessor retrieves dog barking sounds from the memory and provides the dog barking sounds to at least one of an amplifier or radio frequency transmitter at least one second after the microprocessor receives the recognition signal from the warning notification module.

11. The method of claim 9 further comprising a step operation of the door bell notification and personal security system is suspended at a set time after the microprocessor recognizing at least one of a door bell notification initiated from a door bell ringer or an emergency transmission signal sent from a wireless transmitter.

12. The method of claim 9 further comprising a step wherein a radio frequency transmitter is provided that is adapted to broadcast the dog barking sounds provided by the microprocessor to at least one public radio station frequency.
