Panic device with local alarm and distal signaling capability
First Claim
1. A device configured to communicate with both (a) a local receiver associated with a motor vehicle, and (b) a distant receiver, comprising:
- a portable, hand-carried housing that houses a first input and a second input, a transmitter, and a speaker;
wherein the first input is configured to trigger electronic, wireless transmission of a first alarm signal from outside the motor vehicle to the local receiver; and
wherein the second input is capable of triggering electronic, wireless transmission of a second alarm signal to the distant receiver to assist the distant receiver in identifying a geographical position, and wherein the second alarm signal is a cellular signal.

Abstract
A panic device operable in conjunction with a local device is configured to unlock a locking mechanism. The panic device can take the form of an electronic key fob, a key shaft, or a key holder. A first trigger on the panic device triggers a local alarm that is on-board or off-board the panic device. A second trigger on the panic device can activate an alarm circuitry that utilizes a local device to provide position information to a distant dispatch station. The local device uses a GPS-aware circuitry or other non-GPS means such as triangulation to determine the position information. The position information can then be sent to the distant dispatch station with or without the aid of the local device.
