Problems solved by technology

However, in other cases, access to the phone may not be possible, or the driver may not be able to use the phone for safety reasons
[0003] Although there are alarm systems for vehicles (such as the panic system), it is not ideal in that it alerts the attacker that the alarm has been triggered
Whether it is a "panic" type alarm or an alarm that notifies the police, the triggering of the alarm escalates the attacker's actions towards the victim

Abstract

A system includes one or more processors configured to detect activation of an alarm trigger in communication with the one or more processors. The processors are further configured to determine a type of trigger and provide a subtle feedback response, based on the type of trigger, designed to avoid detection by an assailant. The processors are additionally configured to wirelessly contact an emergency responder and provide data usable in determining a vehicle location and a vehicle identification.

Description

technical field [0001] The illustrative embodiments relate generally to a method and apparatus for in-vehicle alarm activation and response processing. Background technique [0002] Physical attacks in and around vehicles are becoming more common in certain parts of the world. People experience kidnapping, carjacking, and other attacks while driving or otherwise using their vehicles. Victims of these personal emergencies will want to call for help. In some cases, they may have access to their mobile phone and be able to use it and dial for help. In other cases, however, access to the cell phone may not be possible, or the driver may not be able to use the cell phone for safety reasons. [0003] While there are alarm systems for vehicles such as panic systems, it is not ideal in that it alerts the assailant that the alarm has been triggered. Whether it is a "panic" type alarm or an alarm that notifies the police, the triggering of the alarm escalates the attacker's action...
