Problems solved by technology

While these "panic" features have allowed for the selective generation of substantially uniform "noise" they have generally failed to provide the level or amount of desired deterrence that they have sought.
In fact, it is this regularly timed "noise" which is generated and / or transmitted during "false alarms".

Embodiment Construction

[0014] Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a vehicle security system 10 made in accordance with the teachings of the preferred embodiment of the invention. As shown, vehicle security system 10 includes a controller 12 operating under stored program control and adapted to be in selective communication with hand-held transmitter 14. Controller 12 is further electrically and communicatively coupled to a sensor 16, such as and without limitation a shock sensor, a motion sensor, and / or a pin or door switch, and which is adapted to sense attempted tampering with and / or attempted entry into a vehicle and to generate an alarm condition sensing signal (e.g. a "trip" signal 101) to the controller 12.

[0015] As is further shown in FIG. 1, system 10 includes a starter inhibition device 18 which is physically, electrically, and communicatively coupled to the controller 12 and to the starter 13 of the vehicle, and which is adapted to selectively prevent and / or diminish the probability of start...

Abstract

A vehicle security system 10 having a "panic" and / or "alarm tripping" feature which is adapted to allow the activation of a siren / horn / visual indicator in a pseudo-random or "human-like"0 manner. The system may comprise a portable system to protect an individual or non-automotive object.

Description

[0001] (1) Field of the Invention[0002] This invention relates to a vehicle security system and more particularly to a vehicle security system adapted to selectively and pseudo-randomly and / or non-uniformly activate a horn or other audible and / or visual alarm in a "human-like" manner in response to a "panic" type signal selectively generated and / or transmitted by a user and / or operator of the security system, or in response to an alarm "trip" condition. This invention also relates to a portable alarm system which may be selectively worn by a person or placed upon an object to be protected.[0003] (2) Background of the Invention[0004] Vehicle security systems are normally deployed within vehicles to prevent and / or to diminish the probability that the vehicle will be tampered with, stolen, and / or destroyed or damaged. While many of these vehicle security systems provide these theft prevention and / or deterrence features, such as disabling the starter of the vehicle when the system is pl...
