Abstract

A remote keyless system having a light; and a controller coupled to the light. The controller has a processor and memory having stored thereon a plurality of executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive a door closing signal from a door locking system. The door closing signal indicates that one or more doors of a vehicle have been opened and then closed within a predetermined amount of time. The instructions further cause the computer to turn the light on in response to receiving the door closing signal, send a locking signal to the door locking system, and receive a confirmation signal from the door locking system. The confirmation signal indicates that all doors of the vehicle have been successfully locked. The instructions further cause the computer to turn the light off in response to receiving the confirmation signal.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

receive a door closing signal from a door locking system, wherein the door closing signal is received by a remote keyless system and wherein the door closing signal indicates that one or more doors of a vehicle have been opened and then closed within a predetermined amount of time, wherein door closing signal is transmitted by the door locking system only when all of the doors of the vehicle have been closed, wherein the predetermined amount of time ranges from about 1 second to about 30 seconds;

turn an indicator coupled to the remote keyless system on in response to receiving the door closing signal, wherein the indicator indicates that the doors of the vehicle have not been locked and wherein indicator comprises a light;

send a locking signal from the remote keyless system to the door locking system;

receive a confirmation signal from the door locking system, wherein the confirmation signal indicates that all doors of the vehicle have been successfully locked;

turn the indicator off in response to receiving the confirmation signal; and

keep the indicator on if no confirmation signal is received from the door locking system to indicate that the doors cannot be locked.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1, further comprising instructions configured to send a signal to alarm and/or disalarm the vehicle.

2. A remote keyless system, comprising:

a light; and

a controller coupled to the light, wherein the controller has a processor and memory having stored thereon a plurality of executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;

receive a door closing signal from a door locking system, wherein the door closing signal indicates that one or more doors of a vehicle have been opened and then closed within a predetermined amount of time, wherein door closing signal is transmitted by the door locking system only when all of the doors of the vehicle have been closed, wherein the predetermined amount of time ranges from about 1 second to about 30 seconds;

turn the light on in response to receiving the door closing signal, wherein the light being turned on indicates that the doors of the vehicle have not been locked;

send a locking signal to the door locking system;

receive a confirmation signal from the door locking system, wherein the confirmation signal indicates that all doors of the vehicle have been successfully locked;

turn the light off in response to receiving the confirmation signal; and

keep the light on if no confirmation signal is received from the door locking system to indicate that the doors cannot be locked.

3. The remote keyless system of claim 2, further comprising a receiver for receiving the door closing signal from the door locking system.

4. The remote keyless system of claim 2, further comprising a transmitter for sending the locking signal to the door locking system.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

receive a door closing signal at a remote keyless system from a door locking system, wherein the door closing signal indicates that one or more doors of a vehicle have been opened and then closed within a predetermined amount of time, wherein door closing signal is transmitted by the door locking system only when all of the doors of the vehicle have been closed;

turn a light coupled the remote keyless system on in response to receiving the door closing signal, wherein the light being turned on indicates that the doors of the vehicle have not been locked;

send a locking signal from the remote keyless system to the door locking system;

receive a confirmation signal from the door locking system, wherein the confirmation signal indicates that all doors of the vehicle have been successfully locked; and

turn the light off in response to sending the locking signal.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 5, wherein the light is turned off only upon receipt of the confirmation signal.
