Detailed Description of the Inventive Embodiment

1 is a system block diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the present invention. The active rescue request alert system 20 is used in a vehicle and consists of a plurality of sensors 30, burglar alarms 21, a wireless call device 25, and a GPS (Global Positioning System) device 26. The transmission path 201 is connected to the respective parts of the active rescue request alert system 20.

It should be emphasized that the burglar alarm 21 has a wireless communication device 25 and an electrical connection line 211. When the vehicle is placed in an alarm mode and one of the sensors 30 detects an abnormal situation and emits an abnormal signal (step SA), the burglar alarm 21 receives the abnormal signal and wirelessly connects it via the electrical connection line 211. Send a control signal to the call device 25 (step SB), thereby initiating a call of the wireless call device 25 (step SC), register with the base station and the call center 10 or the vehicle owner's mobile phone 40 Call (sd SD) to notify the vehicle owner of an abnormal situation.

The above-mentioned wireless communication device 25 may use Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), or various kinds of communication devices. The GPS device 26 provides information on the current location of the vehicle, such as, for example, latitude and longitude coordinates, and transmits the information to the vehicle owner via the wireless communication device 25 so that the vehicle owner can track the location of the vehicle. Do it. Any equivalent device capable of providing the vehicle's current location may be used with the GPS device 26.

Each sensor 30 provides a special function and is installed in a special position of the vehicle. When the vehicle engine is turned off and the vehicle owner leaves the car, the sensor 30 scans each part to detect any abnormal occurrence. For example, the door switch sensor 31 is mounted on the edge of the vehicle door to detect the open and closed state of the vehicle door. An abnormality occurs when the vehicle door is opened. An engine hood switch sensor 32 is mounted on the engine bonnet edge to detect the open and closed state of the vehicle engine hood. An abnormality occurs when the vehicle engine bonnet is opened. Trunk switch sensor 33 is installed on the edge surface of the vehicle trunk to detect the open and closed state of the vehicle trunk. An abnormality occurs when the vehicle trunk is opened. A tilting angle sensor 34 is mounted at an appropriate position of the vehicle to detect the tilting angle of the vehicle. When the inclination angle of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined value, abnormality occurs. For example, when the vehicle is tilted more than 15 ° or 20 °, the vehicle is shocked. The space sensor 35 is installed in the passenger compartment of the vehicle to detect the movement of an object in the passenger compartment. If an object movement is detected in the passenger compartment, an abnormality occurs. The space sensor 35 may use an infrared sensor or a thermal sensor.

The sensor 30 detection result is analyzed by using a Boolean expression to accurately determine various abnormalities and to eliminate the error of judgment. According to this preferred embodiment, five types of sensors 30 are installed in a vehicle. The number and shape of the sensors 30 can increase or decrease according to actual needs. For example, smoke sensors, temperature sensors, and the like may be added to enhance the functionality of the burglar alarm system.

In the event of an abnormality, the wireless call device 25 (GSM wireless phone) actively calls a single call center 10 to call the mobile phone owner 40 of the vehicle owner. Instruct on. As shown in FIG. 3, a system block diagram of a call center 10 consists of a call system 11 and a computer system 12 connected to a wireless call device 25. The call center 10 monitors the vehicle's internal situation through the wireless call device 25 to track the vehicle status when connected to or communicated with the wireless call device 25. Thus, if the vehicle owner accidentally touches a sensor 30, the call center 10 will dismiss the alarm after verifying the vehicle owner (eg, asking the vehicle owner to enter a password). If a real abnormal situation occurs, for example, if the vehicle is illegally moved, the call center 10 immediately calls the vehicle owner's mobile phone 40 to send a short message to the vehicle owner's mobile phone 40 or Alternatively, you can fax the car owner's home or office, send an e-mail to the car owner's e-mail address, or send a service man to meet the car owner in person.

The microprocessor 22 (shown in FIG. 1) of the burglar alarm 21 stores the main alarm program 50 (shown in FIG. 4) from the storage device 23 (shown in FIG. 1) in order to perform the above-mentioned tasks. To work). The main alert program 50 comprises a sensor initiated subprogram 51, which detects the sensors 30 and provides an electrical signal when an abnormal signal is recognized by the sensor 30. The corresponding signal is sent through the connection line 211 to start the radio call device 25 (GSM radio telephone). The main alert program 50 further comprises a subprogram 52 for calling the vehicle owner, which, when the wireless call device 25 is started, causes the wireless call device 25 to call the call center ( Have them call 10).

The main alert program 50 has a built-in database 53 (shown in FIG. 4) for storing the vehicle owner's personal information 531, the vehicle's model number / password 532, and the warning signal code / message 533. ) When the wireless call device 25 calls the call center 10, the vehicle owner's personal information 531 from the database 53 to the call center 10, the model number / password 532 of the vehicle, and Warning signal codes / messages 533 are also sent at the same time, allowing control center 10 to verify vehicle owner and vehicle status. In simple terms, the telephone number of the radio communication device 25 is set to the model number of the vehicle. When the wireless call device 25 is connected to the call center 10, the call center 10 can immediately know the identity of the vehicle and its owner through the caller ID number. The vehicle engine number may be used as the vehicle model number. Of course, the vehicle supplier can verify the vehicle model.

Since a plurality of sensors 30 are mounted in the vehicle, different warning signal codes are used to distinguish the sensing situation. For example, the warning signal code " 1 " indicates the occurrence of an abnormality detected by the door switch sensor 31; Warning signal code "2" indicates occurrence of an abnormality detected by the engine bonnet switch sensor 32; Warning signal code "3" indicates occurrence of an abnormality detected by the trunk switch sensor 33. Thus, the call center 10 can immediately know the type of abnormality that has occurred and can take the necessary steps when receiving a signal.

Since the database 53 of the main alarm program 50 has a built-in warning message, when a message is received by the call center 10, the warning signal code is displayed on the screen 24 of the burglar alarm 21. (Shown in Figure 1), it is converted into a corresponding message and notified to the vehicle owner. For example, when the space sensor 35 detects an abnormal occurrence, the call center 10 sends a message to the vehicle owner: "This is the call center. Someone has broken into your vehicle. Be careful. ! " Such a message is conveyed through sentences or voices. According to this preferred embodiment, the call center 10 immediately calls the vehicle owner's mobile phone 40. Alternatively, the wireless call device 25 may call the home phone, office phone, pager, or telephone of the vehicle owner directly, without using the call center 10, or the fax of the vehicle owner or the like. You can also send a warning message to an e-mail address.

Finally, the vehicle owner or call center 10 can actively respond to the intended theft by causing the active rescue request alert system 20 to receive and execute a command. For example, call center 10 may send a command to wireless call device 25 to cause an active rescue request alert system to lock the door of a vehicle, generate an acoustic alert signal to dissuade an intruder, or The device 26 provides location information of the vehicle to enable the vehicle owner to track the vehicle status.

As noted above, when an abnormal situation occurs, the wireless communication device 25 calls the call center 10 or the vehicle owner's mobile phone 40 for assistance. Thus, the vehicle owner can know the location of the vehicle and take the necessary defensive measures.
