Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a vehicle locator system that can tell the user where the car is located by giving them the direction and height of the vehicle. The system uses GPS to get the vehicle's position and compares it to the user's remote unit to find the car's direction of travel. The system is easy to use and cost-effective to manufacture.

Problems solved by technology

If the signal of the radio frequency carrier is too weak, the child is too far away from the adult who has the child positioning monitoring device.

Embodiment Construction

[0108]Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which similar reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views, FIGS. 1 through 5 illustrate the vehicle locator system of the present invention indicated generally by the numeral 10.

[0109]The vehicle locator system 10 is illustrated in FIG. 1 for use by a person 12 to locate a particular vehicle 13 within a parking lot 14. This figure illustrates the parking lot 14 including a plurality of vehicles 18 parked therein. When parking a vehicle in such a parking lot 14 it is easy to forget where the vehicle was parked. When the parking lot is full, the person 12 who parked the vehicle 13 will have a very difficult time locating the vehicle 13 if the location of the vehicle is forgotten. The vehicle locator system 10 of the present invention utilizes the Global Positioning Satellite Network, illustrated by the satellite 16 orbiting the earth for aiding the person 12 in determining the location of the vehicle 13....

Abstract

A vehicle locating system that includes a hand-held remote unit associated with a user and a locator unit associated with a vehicle. The locator unit utilizes a GPS to store a location of the vehicle. The remote unit is selected from the group laptop computer, key ring, GPS watch, cellular telephone and PDA, and it utilizes a GPS to store a location of the user. The remote unit queries the locator unit to obtain the location of the vehicle, and then compares the location of the vehicle to its own location, whereupon the remote unit displays a direction for the user to travel in order to reach the vehicle.
