Abstract

A wireless keyless entry system can lock, unlock automotive doors, trunks, etc. without the use of an ignition key and can disarm an onboard anti-theft alarm system or in the alterative can trigger the alarm as a deterrent. The novelty of this invention relates to the fact that the owner of the vehicle is unaware of an alarm state triggered at the vehicle if the owner is out of eye sight and or ‘ear shot’ of the vehicle. The new wireless and keyless entry system would include an RF transmitter in the vehicle that would transmit a unique code when the vehicle is in an alarm state. The unique signal would be received by a portable receiver/controller carried by the owner/operator of the vehicle, triggering a visible light; an audible alarm, pulsing or steady; and/or a vibrator alerting the owner to investigate the automotive alarm emanating from the vehicle.

Claims

1. An alarm alert system for a vehicle with an anti-theft system for providing a sensory signal to an individual that such vehicle is in an alarm state comprising:

a transmitter and controller outputting an encoded RF signal from a vehicle indicative of an alarm condition from the vehicle'"'"'s anti-theft system;

an alerting device(s) which has a controller for receiving and comparing such signal to a preset code in such controller and a second controller within such device(s) which would cause the alerting device(s) to emit a sound, light and/or vibration when triggered by such first transmitter and controller.

2. The alarm alert system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said alerting device(s) is portable and the logic and circuitry is integrated into a portable, wireless and keyless vehicle entry receiver/controller.

3. The alarm alert system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said alerting device(s) is portable and the logic and circuitry is contained in a separate device independent of a wireless and keyless vehicle entry receiver/controller.

4. The alarm alert system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said alerting device(s) in claim 2 and claim 3 contains a battery recharging port.

5. The alarm alert system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said alerting device(s) in claim 2 and claim 3 contains a multi position switch which enables the operator to select the functions of on/off, sound, vibration, light or any combination thereof.

6. The transmitter and controller as set forth in claim 1, wherein the transmitter and controller logic and circuitry are integrated in the anti-theft circuitry of the vehicle.

7. The transmitter and controller as set forth in claim 1, wherein the transmitter and controller logic and circuitry is contained in a separate device that can be connected to the anti-theft circuitry of the vehicle.
