Self-sufficient, compact sensor/converter/transmission combination system for cost-effective remote room access monitoring

by Mr Dipl.-Ing. Antonio Elster dated 03.06.2003.

Area: alarm systems, reporting systems, remote monitoring. Conventional alarm systems and reporting systems are often expensive for the end user and require a lot of installation work. Monitoring rooms that are far away, such as garden sheds or yachts, is also not easily possible. In addition, the alarm is often only sent to a location that has been determined in advance.

The system described here, currently called "TDC", is used for very cost-effective and flexible remote access monitoring. The signal of unauthorized access can be received by the authorized person in quasi-real time, regardless of his or her location. In terms of manufacturing technology, TDC is also a low-cost product:

A specially designed housing, about the size of a cigarette packet, is attached to the door or other access point such as a window, etc. The housing combines the transmitter holder and alarm trigger in a simple component, a one-piece is possible. Any mobile radio telephone (cell phone), preferably a prepaid version, is used as the transmitter. The housing is designed in such a way that commercially available cell phones can be inserted and fixed directly without any structural adjustments or changes.

After fastening and installation on (e.g.) the door, a mechanical trigger pulse is applied to the telephone's send button when the door is first opened slightly by a lever or bending arm attached to the housing, one end of which is held to the door frame with a defined holding force (permanent magnet, bending lever, catch, etc.).

The current prototype version is designed in such a way that a continuous adjustment/setting for different height levels between the door and the frame, as well as for different positions of the transmit button on the control panel of different mobile phone models, is easily possible.

When the door is opened, the number entered is dialed. It is difficult to prevent an alarm because the alarm is triggered as soon as the door is opened even slightly and the transmission is immediate and irreversible.

At this moment, the recipient receives either a call, an SMS, a fax or an email of their choice. In the cheapest, free and most flexible case, the cell phone number of the authorized person is entered as the reporting destination and the sender's phone number is stored in this cell phone under the name "BURGLARY-MUNICH". When the alarm is triggered, "BURGLARY-MUNICH" appears on the display regardless of the authorized person's location. There are no costs associated with the call. The recipient now knows that the door to their property is being opened at this moment and can immediately notify the police, neighbors or similar. The advantages from the user's perspective are:

* Immediate reporting procedure within seconds

* Can be used independently of other infrastructure in any region from forest to coast where a radio network is available

* No wiring

* No running costs

* No contractual obligations

* Can be received worldwide, regardless of location

* To any phone number

* Possible as call, SMS, fax or email

* Low purchase price

* Simple and quick installation: screw on, adjust - done!

Claims (8)

1. Self-sufficient, small sensor/converter/transmission combination system for cost-effective remote room access monitoring, by Mr Dipl.-Ing. Antonio Elster on 03.06.2003.
Self-sufficient, small sensor/converter/transmission combination system for cost-effective remote room access monitoring, characterized in that it consists of a housing with transmitter holder and alarm trigger. 2. System according to claim 1, characterized in that the transmitter consists of any mobile radio telephone. 3. System according to claim 1 and 2, characterized in that a lever or bending arm is attached to the housing for transmitting a mechanical or electrical trigger pulse to the transmitter button of the radio telephone. 4. System according to claim 1, 2 and 3, characterized in that it is structurally designed in such a way that either the mechanical door opening impulse (or that of the opening attempt) or the door path itself mechanically or electrically triggers commercially available mobile radio telephones. (Note: The terms ". .impuls" and ". .weg" are technical terms and therefore describe the physical quantities m.v and s) 5. System according to claim 1, 2, 3 and 4, characterized in that it is structurally designed in such a way that any number of different (or specifically defined) models of commercially available mobile radio telephones can be directly inserted and fixed - without structural changes/adaptations. 6. System according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, characterized in that it is structurally designed in such a way that easy adaptation/adjustment to different height levels between the door and the door frame is possible. 7. System according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, characterized in that it is structurally designed in such a way that a simple adaptation/adjustment to different positions of the transmit button on different commercially available radio telephone models is possible. 8. System according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, characterized in that it is structurally designed in such a way that when a photo-capable mobile phone is inserted, the intruders can be photographed (and the photo forwarded to the reporting destination).
