Description

IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO ALARM SYSTEMS.
This invention relates to alarm systems and more especially it relates to panic alarms. Panic alarms which include a manually operable panic button are well known and are quite commonly offered as a feature in fixed alarm installations of the kind used for intruder alarms in shops, banks, or domestic premises so that an alarm can be rapidly activated in an emergency by simply pressing the panic button. Presently used systems generally comprise a panic button or buttons installed at a convenient permanent location or locations, as the case may be, with the disadvantage that in the event of an unexpected emergency, a person may not be in a position to access a panic button easily or discreetly. Moreover, there are some alarm applications in which, although there is a requirement for a panic button, its provision with existing systems is difficult if not impossible. One such application is in high security mobile delivery services where there may be risk of a hi-jack.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved alarm system wherein the aforementioned disadvantages and difficulties are obviated, at least in part.
According to the present invention an alarm system comprises a portable device which embodies a panic alarm button, a coded signal generator, and a first radio transmitter, the system additionally comprising, separate from the device, a mobile phone which includes a receiver, for reception of coded signals originated by the coded signal generator, a mobile phone transmitter, a position indication system and an auto-call generator, the system being functionally arranged so that consequent upon operation of the panic alarm button in the device, a coded signal is transmitted from the device by the first transmitter, which when received by the receiver in the mobile phone initiates the transmission by the mobile phone transmitter, to a remote monitoring station, of an alarm call generated by the auto-call system, which alarm call is arranged to identify the position of the mobile phone as indicated by the position indication system.
The device, which may be strapped to the wrist of a user, or carried in a pocket or handbag, or secured to a key ring for example, may thus be kept conveniently to hand at all times and accordingly may be operated as required discreetly and unobtrusively.
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention the receiver may comprise the mobile phone receiver itself and in this case the first transmitter will be arranged to transmit on the mobile phone f equency but at much reduced power so as to restrict transmission range.
Alternatively the receiver may be additional to the receiver of the mobile phone itself and may be arranged to operate in a different frequency band, such as a f equency as designated in accordance with the 'Blue Tooth' standard for example, the first transmitter provided in the device being arranged to transmit in the same frequency band.
The device may include a SIM on which a unique code recognisable by the receiver is stored for transmission when the panic button is operated.
An alarm signal cancellation function may be provided in the mobile phone, an alarm signal once generated, being repeated at intervals until the cancellation function is selected at the mobile phone.
Alternatively provision in the device may be made for the generation of an alarm cancellation function.
It is envisaged that a phone service provider may offer the panic button as an optional facility and provide for reception and progressing of panic button alarm calls which may include notifying emergency services as necessary, as well as taking account of information updates concerning mobile position, or alarm signal cancellation.
Some embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein corresponding parts of the various figures bear as appropriate the same numerical designations and in which; Figure 1, is a drawing of an alarm system which includes a device with a panic button and a mobile phone;
Figure 2, is a generally schematic block diagram of one alarm system; Figure 3, is a generally schematic block diagram of another alarm system, and;
Figure 4, is a generally schematic block diagram of a further alarm system.
Referring firstly to Figure 1, an alarm system comprises a device 1, which is worn on the wrist 2, of a user rather like a watch, and held in place by means of strap 3. The device 1, is arranged to embody a panic button 4, positioned in place of a watch winder button, and a transmitter, (not shown in Figure 1), to facilitate communication with a mobile phone 5, as will hereinafter be explained. As shown in Figure 2, according to one embodiment, the device comprises a SIM card 6, in which is stored a unique code, which is transmitted by a transmitter 7, using the 'Blue Tooth' communication standard, via a device antenna 8, conveniently integrated with the strap 3 (shown in Figure 1). The mobile phone 5, includes in addition to its mobile phone receiver (not shown), a 'Blue Tooth receiver 9, which is arranged to receive via an antenna 10, a coded signal generated by the transmitter 7, when the panic button 4, is operated. Following detection of the coded signal in a code detector 11, a call is initiated 12, which is arranged to include destination information 13, predetermined message information 14, and location data 15, which is generated by means of any position determination system such as the GPS for example. The elements 12, 13, 14, and 15, as shown, thus effectively represent in combination, a flow diagram showing the composition and routing of information to a mobile phone transmitter 16, and its associated antenna 17. The mobile phone then serves automatically to transmit this pre-set information as a normally routed mobile phone call to a predetermined nominated telephone number, which may be a police station for example, thereby automatically to raise an alarm with all relevant information required to respond to it.
In an alternative embodiment as shown in Figure 3, a similar system is provided which serves to initiate a mobile phone call to a receiver 18, (having an antenna 19) of an emergency control centre 20, operated in this example by the phone service. As shown in Figure 3, the transmitter 16, is arranged to provide phone identity data 21, in addition to the location data 15, this information being transmitted repeatedly to the emergency control centre 20, until an alarm cancellation or over-ride signal 22, is generated by the mobile phone user. In accordance with this embodiment, the emergency control centre 20, makes contact with the appropriate emergency services and monitors the call until such time as the over-ride signal 22, is received. In another embodiment of the invention as shown in Figure 4, a system is provided which is rather similar to the arrangement of Figure 3, but wherein provision is made for generation of an over-ride signal 23, from the device 1 itself, as indicated. In practice, this may be generated by pressing the alarm button 4, for a longer period than is required to initiate an alarm or by pressing another button (not shown) provided specifically for this purpose. In order to detect this over-ride signal, a phone and a worn device identity is provided in the mobile phone. This feature thus serves to facilitate the use of several different individual devices each having its own unique identity,, which may therefore be used with the same mobile phone, or alternatively a worn device which is able to communicate with any compatible mobile phone, thereby to provide for a 'mix and match approach'.
