Abstract

The invention concerns a warning system through detection of the movement of the protected object contained in a space whereof the dimension is more or less that of a credit card or which is adapted to the contour of the object. Said feature provides for exceptional transportability and discreet and efficient protection of certain objects which are generally difficult to make secure. The sealed housing encloses the set of electronic components integrated to a circuit benefiting from the special characteristics of a rod type detector, which constitutes an essential functionality for the inventive system. The remote-controlled system, with wave reception alarm scanner requiring only a slight shake of the detector when switched on, is capable of enabling or disabling the selected detector or alarm without direct access to the assembly positioned on or in the protected object. Said portable security system based on the capacity of the detector to operate on all the angles comprises an electronic circuit including a series of switches which close for receiving coded frequencies of the remote control and which immediately set up an interruption of the circuit following transposition of the codes, thereby enabling maximum saving of batteries during the waiting time for a movement and moreover renders the device undetectable. Said circuit also provides a system with scanner remotely triggering the alarm to track the abandoned object and the use thereof if the latter is without scanner, in situations and environments sensitive to radio frequencies. Said system on account of its features is inventive and particularly useful at times when the security of property and personal belongings is daily at risk in certain circumstances.

Description

Cette invention est du domaine des avertisseurs personnels par détection de mouvements et de vibrations et plus particulièrement de la catégorie des alarmes portatives pour la protection ponctuelle ou permanente des biens personnels de l'individu, d'espace de vie et d'objets nécessitant dans certaines circonstances une sécurité d'appoint.This invention is in the field of personal alarms by motion and vibration detection and more particularly the category of portable alarms for the punctual or permanent protection of personal property of the individual, living space and objects requiring in certain circumstances extra security.

Les accessoires proposés sur le marché pour la protection d'objets d'usage personnels (sacs à main, mallettes, ordinateurs) et les équipements plus élaborés, développés pour la surveillance des espaces immobiliers et certains appareils ou ameublements dans les espaces publics l'ont été en s'inspirant des systèmes fixes plus complexes utilisés depuis déjà longtemps et qui font appel à un groupe d'alimentation en électricité lourd, embarqué ou dépendant du service public. Tout en reconnaissant les avancées réalisées ces dernières années autour des systèmes compacts et particulièrement ceux visant la protection des objets personnels, il n'en demeure pas moins que ceux-ci restent encombrants par leur forme, leur fonctionnement et parfois même par leur technique de mise en marche. Quant aux systèmes plus lourds s'adressant à des objets plus imposants ou des espaces importants, ils ont peu changé bien que sensiblement allégés (Nous faisons évidemment exception ici des antivols autos gérés par GPS qui s'écartent des techniques que nous comparons ici).The accessories offered on the market for the protection of personal use objects (handbags, briefcases, computers) and more elaborate equipment developed for the surveillance of real estate and some appliances or furnishings in public spaces have This has been inspired by the more complex fixed systems that have been in use for a long time and that rely on a heavy electricity supply group, on-board or dependent on public service. While recognizing the progress made in recent years around compact systems and particularly those aimed at the protection of personal objects, the fact remains that they remain cumbersome in their form, their operation and sometimes even their technical implementation. working. As for heavier systems for larger objects or large spaces, they have changed little although significantly lightened (We are of course an exception here GPS autos anti-theft that deviate from the techniques we are comparing here).

Le but de ces systèmes est le même : déclencher une alarme lorsqu'un intru entre dans un espace privé pour cambrioler le propriétaire des lieux ou qu'un malfaiteurcherche à s'emparer d'un objet. Pourtant, la solution apportée par plusieurs des systèmes est souvent médiocre et limitée, la négligence de certains aspects de sécurité des ensembles proposés, présentant des inconvénients qui n'incitent guère l'individu à vouloir mieux protéger ses biens, son entourage et ses déplacements au quotidien.The purpose of these systems is the same: to trigger an alarm when an intruder enters a private space to rob the owner of the place or a malefactor to seize an object. However, the solution provided by many of the systems is often mediocre and limited, the negligence of certain aspects of security of the proposed sets, presenting drawbacks that hardly incite the individual to want better to protect his goods, his entourage and his movements to the daily.

Par exemple, l'un des systèmes de protection personnelle pour sac à main déclenche l'alarme en retirant une tige du boîtier-alarme qui rétablit le circuit électronique d'alimentation en énergie lorsque le vandale s'empare de l'objet porté par la victime. La faiblesse de ce système a deux volets; d'une part, le cri strident qui provient du boitier caché dans le sac ne peut s'arrêter que lorsque la tige ou la goupille retenue par une ficelle à la personne qui portait l'objet, est remis dans son emplacement initial; et d'autre part, il suffit au vandale temporairement pris au piège de retirer du sac le boitier facilement repérable par sa taille pour s'éloigner prestement avec son butin tandis que l'alarme continue à semer la panique chez les gens qui n'arrive plus à repérer le malfaiteur et parfois même la victime.For example, one of the personal protection systems for purse triggers the alarm by removing a rod from the alarm box that restores the electronic power supply circuit when the vandal seizes the object carried by the victim. The weakness of this system has two parts; on the one hand, the shriek that comes from the box hidden in the bag can stop only when the rod or the pin held by a string to the person who carried the object, is returned to its original location; and on the other hand, it is enough for the vandal temporarily trapped to remove the bag easily identifiable by its size to quickly get away with his booty while the alarm continues to sow panic in people who do not arrive more to spot the perpetrator and sometimes even the victim.

Un second système portatif qui sert à détecter le moindre mouvement de l'objet dans lequel il est placé a le désavantage de ne pouvoir s'activer que si le circuit d'alimentation embarqué a préalablement été actionné par un interrupteur de type quelconque : clé, bouton, etc. Pour assurer une constante protection, ce système doit donc être activé en tout temps à savoir jusqu'à l'épuisement de ses piles. Et comme une urgence de ce type ne peut être prévue avec certitude... Lorsqu'un mouvement se produit, ce système qui fonctionne à partir d'un détecteur à bille placé dans un petit tube bipôlaire, déclenche l'alarme intégrée à l'ensemble placé dans ou attaché à l'objet si les piles ont toujours de l'énergie en réserve. Le comportement du vandale sera presqu'identique à l'exemple précédant en sectionnant la courroie liant le boîtier de sécurité au bagage laissant derrière lui l'alarme qui s'épuise ou que la victime pourra seul neutraliser.A second portable system that is used to detect the slightest movement of the object in which it is placed has the disadvantage of being able to activate only if the onboard power supply circuit has been previously actuated by a switch of any type: key, button, etc. To ensure constant protection, this system must be activated at all times, ie until the batteries are depleted. And as an emergency of this type can not be predicted with certainty ... When a movement occurs, this system which works from a ball detector placed in a small bipolar tube, triggers the alarm integrated in the set placed in or attached to the object if the batteries still have energy reserved. The behavior of the vandal will be almost identical to the previous example by sectioning the belt linking the security box to the luggage leaving behind the alarm that runs out or that the victim can only neutralize.

Les interrupteurs à mercure sont très semblables par leur fonctionnement à l'interrupteur à bille mais leur contact positif et stable est plus facile à gérer. Ainsi, moins sensible à l'oxidation, ces composants dits mouillés se prêtent pourtant davantage au modification d'angle (Les composants à mercure sont depuis prohibés). Quant à l'interrupteur à aimant, celui-ci convient de préférence an rapprochement ou à l'écartement entre deux parties d'un tout qu'à la détection du mouvement en résultant. Ce type de composant a aussi l'inconvénient de requérir en complément la présence d'un accessoire aimanté qui attire ou repousse les mini-lamelles de contact qui présente le désavantage de pouvoir, une fois localisé, être assez facilement neutralisées.Mercury switches are very similar in operation to the ball switch but their positive and stable contact is easier to manage. Thus, less sensitive to oxidation, these so-called wet components yet lend themselves more to angle modification (Mercury components have since been prohibited). As for the magnet switch, it is preferably a reconciliation or spacing between two parts of a while that the detection of the resulting movement. This type of component also has the disadvantage of requiring in addition the presence of a magnetic accessory that attracts or pushes the mini-contact strips which has the disadvantage of being able, once located, to be easily neutralized.

Mise à part les systèmes de détection de mouvement par infrarouge (ou déplacement d'air), à l'intérieur d'un espace déterminé (ce qui ne nous concerne pas ici, la protection devant être directement porté par l'objet protégé), il existe ces réseaux de protection fixes s'alimentant à partir d'un même circuit électrique utilisé pour protéger toutes les ouvertures d'un bâtiment ou d'un véhicule. Le problème de ces systèmes pourtant très performants et particulièrement dissuasifs est que justement tous les points de protection n'ont généralement qu'un seul point d'alimentation en énergie. Dans ce cas, il suffit à l'intru de trouver la source d'énergie et tous les points de protection deviennent accessibles. Ces systèmes de sécurité malgré l'allègement progressif de leur structure ne peuvent répondre aux besoins de protection très ponctuels de l'individu appelé à se déplacer fréquemment.Apart from the infrared movement detection systems (or air movement), within a specific space (which does not concern us here, the protection to be directly carried by the protected object), there are these fixed protection networks feeding from the same electrical circuit used to protect all the openings of a building or a vehicle. The problem with these highly efficient and particularly dissuasive systems is that precisely all protection points generally have only one power supply point. In this case, it is enough for the intruder to find the source of energy and all the protection points become accessible. These safety systems, despite the gradual lightening of their structure, can not meet the very specific protection needs of the individual who is expected to move frequently.

Tous ces systèmes présentement disponibles sont par conséquent fort dépendant en énergie, manquent d'autonomie et bien que plus compacts sont toujours encombrants et d'un fonctionnement généralement complexe ou trop élémentaire et en fin de compte peu versatile.All these systems currently available are therefore highly energy-dependent, lack autonomy and although more compact are always bulky and generally complex or too basic and ultimately not very versatile operation.

Notre invention propose une système de sécurité miniaturisé, très léger, complètement autonome, sans limite et restriction dues au type de détecteurs utilisés, à économie d'énergie maximale, sans contrainte de fonctionnalité à cause de ses facultés d'adaptabilité, à multi-usages et simple d'utilisation.Our invention proposes a miniaturized security system, very light, completely autonomous, without limit and restriction due to the type of detectors used, to maximum energy saving, without constraint of functionality because of its adaptability, to multipurpose and easy to use.

Notre invention se veut un concept nouveau d'une portabilité exceptionnelle, sans contrainte dans le positionnement du détecteur de mouvement, une fonctionnalité unique qui rend le système indétectable et capable de s'adapter facilement aux différentes situations auxquelles répondent les systèmes décrits plus haut.Our invention is a new concept of exceptional portability, without constraint in the positioning of the motion detector, a unique feature that makes the system undetectable and able to easily adapt to different situations that meet the systems described above.

Notre intention en développant cet équipement était de rendre ce type de protection accessible à tous là où une protection dissuasive, ponctuelle ou permanente est requise pour un objet, un espace de vie ou une personne.Our intention in developing this equipment was to make this type of protection accessible to all where a deterrent, punctual or permanent protection is required for an object, a living space or a person.

Le système que nous proposons cherche à sécuriser l'individu et ses biens personnels mais également à dissuader intru pris sur le fait le laissant s'éloigner discrètement en abandonnant son projet sans autre effet pour la victime. Il cherche aussi à surveiller son espace de vie permanent ou temporaire ainsi que les objets personnels qui lui tiennent à coeur allant des documents importants aux équipements qui animent son quotidien tels la bicyclette en passant par le simple portefeuille. D'une adaptabilité, d'une durabilité et d'une solidité exceptionnelle, notre invention peut aussi répondre à des besoins spécifiques à l'environnement institutionnel et industriel.The system that we propose seeks to secure the individual and his personal belongings but also to dissuade intruder caught on the fact leaving him discreetly leaving by abandoning his project without any other effect for the victim.

La résolution de la problématique soulevée est atteinte grâce au système selon la revendication 1.The resolution of the problem raised is achieved by the system according to claim 1.

Pour mettre à la disposition de la population un système d'alarme multi-usages, l'ensemble détecteur/avertisseur devait être miniaturisé au point d'être plus ou moins de la taille d'une carte de crédit ou de forme spécialement adaptée aux contours de l'objet à sécuriser, pouvoir s'adapter à toutes circonstances pouvant de façon soudaine menacer la tranquillité et la sécurité de la personne et de sa propriété, se fixer facilement sur tout objet que l'on souhaite sécuriser, contenir un circuit de fonctionnement capable d'assurer une durée de vie exceptionnellement aux piles alimentant le système et offrir différents niveaux de détection pouvant convenir aux besoins de protection les plus divers.To provide the population with a multi-purpose alarm system, the detector / alarm unit had to be miniaturized to the point of being more or less the size of a credit card or of a shape specially adapted to contours. of the object to be secured, to be able to adapt to all circumstances that can suddenly threaten the tranquility and the security of the person and his property, to fix easily on any object that one wishes to secure, to contain an operating circuit capable of providing exceptionally long battery life to the system and providing different levels of detection for a variety of protection needs.

Ce système devait de plus être complété par un émetteur/récepteur à fréquence radio codée exclusive à chaque unité pour l'activation et la désactivation du détecteur sélectionné à partir d'une télécommande.This system also had to be supplemented by a coded radio frequency transmitter / receiver exclusive to each unit for activating and deactivating the selected detector from a remote control.

En position d'attente active, le système de protection devait avoir la qualité de pouvoir rester inerte pendant de longues périodes de temps, sans possibilité de repérage électronique, sans consommer d'énergie mais sur simple détection d'un mouvement de l'objet protégé, le circuit devait aussitôt déclencher le piezo intégré qui aurait la capacité de s'interrompre quelques secondes après si aucune nouvelle vibration n'était perçue par le détecteur. Autrement, l'alarme aurait la particularité de se réenclencher de façon consécutive jusqu'à l'arrêt des vibrations. A partir de la télécommande le propriétaire aurait la possibilité s'il le jugeait nécessaire, d'activer en continu l'alarme placée sur l'objet subtilisé afin de suivre ou de faire suivre le voleur à la trace et pour repérer l'objet abandonné dans la poursuite. (Cette dernière caractéristique requerrait un transceiver avec scrutateur de réception d'on-despour être prêt à réagir aux ordres de la télécommande. Autrement, le circuit qui fait partie de notre invention devait exclure le scrutatuer qui a le désavantage d'être une nuisance dans certains environnements (par exemple, les hôpitaux) et pour certains individus dont la condition physique est sensible aux émissions d'ondes radio (par exemple, les patients souffrant d'arythmie cardiaque et ceux devant porter un Pacemaker).In the active waiting position, the protection system had to have the quality of being able to remain inert for long periods of time, without the possibility of electronic tracking, without consuming energy but simply by detecting a movement of the protected object. , the circuit should immediately trigger the integrated piezo which would have the ability to pause a few seconds later if no new vibration was perceived by the detector. Otherwise, the alarm would have the particularity to re-engage consecutively until the vibration stops. From the remote control the owner would have the possibility if he deemed it necessary, to continuously activate the alarm placed on the object stolen in order to follow or track the thief to trace the object abandoned in the pursuit. (This last feature would require a transceiver with an on-chip scanner to be ready to respond to commands from the remote control.) Otherwise, the circuit that forms part of our invention should exclude the scanner which has the disadvantage of being a nuisance in certain environments (for example, hospitals) and for certain individuals whose physical condition is sensitive to radio wave emissions (for example, patients suffering from cardiac arrhythmia and those having to wear a Pacemaker).

Assez petit pour être transporté sans encombrement au fond d'une poche et assez bruyant pour être entendu de loin, ce système de protection qu'est notre invention cherche à résoudre le souci quotidien des plagistes, des vacanciers inattentifs, des voyageurs pressés et de tout individu ayant soudainement besoin d'une protection ponctuelle pour sa personne, ses biens et même sa propriété.Small enough to be transported without clutter to the bottom of a pocket and loud enough to be heard from afar, this protection system that our invention seeks to solve the daily concern of beach attendants, vacationers inattentive, travelers in a hurry and everything an individual who suddenly needs punctual protection for his person, property and even property.

L'originalité de l'ensemble de protection qu'est notre invention tient entre autres aux caractéristiques du composant intégré au système et qui sur détection d'une vibration, complète un des circuits électroniques de l'ensemble de protection, ce qui engage aussitôt le fonctionnement des éléments principaux et selon le protocole des commandes préprogrammées, déclenche l'alarme.The originality of the protection package that is our invention lies among others in the characteristics of the component integrated in the system and which on detection of a vibration, completes one of the electronic circuits of the protection assembly, which immediately commits the operation of the main elements and according to the protocol of the preprogrammed commands, triggers the alarm.

La puce préprogrammée captent et retient les ordres reçus de la télécommande par l'entremise du récepteur radio commandé.The pre-programmed chip picks up and retains orders received from the remote through the controlled radio receiver.

Le système de protection se met en position d'attente de mouvement à partir de la télécommande et selon le type de détecteur sélectionné : mode (a) grande sensibilité; (b) sensibilité réduite; (c) protection sac à main et portefeuille.The protection system moves to the position of movement waiting from the remote control and according to the type of detector selected: mode (a) high sensitivity; (b) reduced sensitivity; (c) purse and wallet protection.

Durant l'attente d'une vibration, toute activité électronique est stoppée ce qui assure une durée maximale des piles et rend indétectable le système de surveillance si le récepteur est sans scrutateur d'ondes. L'alimentation en énergie se fait uniquement pendant la durée de fonctionnement des circuits de commandes de l'unité.While waiting for a vibration, all electronic activity is stopped which ensures a maximum battery life and makes the monitoring system undetectable if the receiver is without a wave scanner. The power supply is only during the period of operation of the control circuits of the unit.

Selon le type de radio commande utilisé, la mise en marche du système est automatique avec le transceiver avec scrutateur d'ondes ou requiert une légère secousse de l'objet contenant le détecteur si le récepteur radio commandé est sans scrutateur d'ondes.Depending on the type of radio control used, the system starts automatically with the transceiver with wave scanner or requires a slight jerk of the object containing the detector if the radio receiver is controlled without a wave scanner.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation:According to particular embodiments:

La présente invention est un système qui pour répondre au protocole de la démarche descriptive (voir la figure 1) prend ici la taille d'une carte de crédit sous forme d'une mince plaquette (1) faite d'un matériel composite très résistant et hermétique qui retient sous scellé deux piles puissantes de format montre-bracelet (2 - 3), un piezo de taille correspondant à résonance élevée (4), trois unités de détection (5 - 6 - 7), un capteur de vibration pour l'activation du circuit de mise en marche (8), une micropuce préprogrammée ( 9) intégrée au circuit imprimé (10) reliant tous les composants entre eux et un bouton interrupteur manuel (11). Auxquels s'ajoutent, un récepteur d'ondes radio fonctionnel à bonne distance (12) qui sert de lien avec la télécommande porte-clé fait d'un matériel composite très résistant (18) complètement étanche et qui comprend les éléments de base suivants: une pile longue durée (14), un émetteur à radio commande (13) et trois boutons pressions (15-16 -17) correspondant aux détecteurs A, B et C de la plaquette (1) et un bouton pression STOP pour la désactivation du système de sécurité sans besoin d'accès au détecteur/alarme dissimulé.The present invention is a system that responds to the protocol of the descriptive approach (see Figure 1) here takes the size of a credit card in the form of a thin wafer (1) made of a highly resistant composite material and hermetic which holds under seal two powerful batteries of wristwatch size (2 - 3), a piezo of size corresponding to high resonance (4), three detection units (5 - 6 - 7), a vibration sensor for the activation of the start circuit (8), a preprogrammed microchip (9) integrated in the printed circuit (10) connecting all the components together and a manual switch button (11). To this is added a well-functioning radio-frequency receiver (12) which serves as a link with the key-operated remote control made of a highly resistant composite material (18) which is completely waterproof and which comprises the following basic elements: a long-life battery (14), a radio transmitter (13) and three snaps (15-16 -17) corresponding to detectors A, B and C of the wafer (1) and a STOP button for deactivating the security system without access to detector / concealed alarm.

La dimension réduite de l'ensemble et les facilités d'attaches permettent d'utiliser ce détecteur dans toutes les situations où la sécurité d'un objet ou d'une personne peut être remise en cause. L'usage du système est de longue durée, sans entretien, ne requiert aucun changement de piles et la technique de montage et de moulage assure l'étanchéité des deux unités, à savoir la plaquette et particulièrement la télécommande.The reduced size of the assembly and the ease of fasteners make it possible to use this detector in all situations where the safety of an object or a person can be questioned. The use of the system is long-lasting, maintenance-free, requires no change of batteries and the mounting and molding technique ensures the tightness of both units, namely the plate and particularly the remote control.

Comme cet ensemble de protection miniaturisé est complètement autonome à savoir qu'il n'est dépendant d'aucun système ou réseau intermédiaire et qu'il est capable de répondre à des niveaux de sensibilité variables, celui-ci peut se prêter aux besoins les plus divers.Since this miniaturized protection system is completely autonomous, namely that it is not dependent on any intermediate system or network and that it is capable of responding to varying levels of sensitivity, it can be adapted to the most demanding needs. various.

Ainsi cette petite plaquette toute discrète renfermant tous les composants qui sont à l'origine de notre invention peut, par exemple, sécuriser les bagages du voyageur et les sacs de plages que l'on laissent sans surveillance le tems d'une baignade. Cette même plaquette peut plus tard se retrouver dans le sac à main de madame ou le portefeuille de monsieur en sélectionnant le détecteur approprié. A l'hôtel et encore sur simple modification de la sensibilité, la même plaquette peut être posée là où la sécurité semble réduite (fenêtre trop facilement accessible par l'extérieur, porte sans véritable serrure, etc). Ce système peut également être utile chez soi lorsque l'on souhaite laisser une porte ou une fenêtre entr'ouverte ou laisser au système la tache de surveiller une partie de la maison. Ce système qu'est notre invention peut même servir à protéger pendant une très longue période un document scellé placé dans un coffre-fort personnel.Thus this small discrete plate containing all the components that are at the origin of our invention can, for example, secure the luggage of the traveler and the beach bags that are left unattended the time of a swim. This same wafer can later end up in the lady's handbag or the gentleman's wallet by selecting the proper detector. At the hotel and again on simple modification of the sensitivity, the same plate can be put where the safety seems reduced (window too easily accessible from the outside, door without real lock, etc). This system can also be useful at home when you want to leave a door or window ajar or leave the system task to monitor a part of the house. This system of our invention can even serve to protect for a very long time a sealed document placed in a personal safe.

Notre invention peut protéger les objets lourds ou encombrants laissés à l'extérieur de la maison en fixant tout simplement la plaquette de détection de mouvement sur l'article ( ameublements de jardin, barbecue, etc.) le détecteur/alarme peut également être fixé sur une bicyclette ou une mobylette, des skis, le coffre de voiture, l'autoradio ...Our invention can protect heavy or bulky objects left outside the house by simply fixing the motion detection pad on the item (garden furniture, barbecue, etc.) the detector / alarm can also be attached to a bicycle or moped, skis, car trunk, car radio ...

Enfin ce système peut aussi être d'utilité publique pour la protection discrète des objets d'arts et de cultes. Les hôpitaux et autres institutions peuvent aussi profiter de ce système autonome pour gérer l'accès à certaines armoires, cabinets et frigos interdits sans autorisation.Finally this system can also be of public utility for the discrete protection of the objects of arts and cults. Hospitals and other institutions can also take advantage of this autonomous system to manage access to certain unauthorized cupboards, cabinets and fridges.

Notre invention est la solution à la problématique des systèmes trop encombrants, trop restrictifs et dépendants. Une ou plusieurs plaquettes rivetées aux bons endroits suffisent à dissuader l'intru sinon à le piéger.Our invention is the solution to the problem of systems that are too bulky, too restrictive and dependent. One or more riveted plates in the right places are enough to dissuade the intruder if not to trap him.

  • La figure I illustre ce qu'est la forme et la composition structurelle et électronique de notre invention.
  • Les figures 2 à 8 sont une représentation de l'essentiel de la fonctionnalité des circuits électroniques qui gèrent et font la particularité de l'invention illustrée dans la figure 1.
The attached figures which illustrate the invention:
  • Figure I illustrates what is the shape and the structural and electronic composition of our invention.
  • Figures 2 to 8 are a representation of most of the functionality of the electronic circuits that manage and make the feature of the invention illustrated in Figure 1.

La figure 2 'Système OFF' présente sommairement la configuration du circuit électronique tel qu'il se présente lorsqu'il est totalement neutralisée, donc rn position OFF. Les portes (ou les aiguillages contrôlées par la micropuce préprogrammée) 4-5-6 des détecteurs A, B et C sont ouvertes tandis que les portes directionnelles (7, 3, 8 et 1) des différents circuits susceptibles d'être empruntés sont en position de complétion possible de réseaux. Seul la porte 2 se fermant également à la fermeture du détecteur éventuellement sélectionnée (4, 5 ou 6) reste ouverte.FIG. 2 'System OFF' briefly presents the configuration of the electronic circuit as it is when it is completely neutralized, thus rn OFF position. The doors (or switches controlled by the preprogrammed microchip) 4-5-6 detectors A, B and C are open while the directional doors (7, 3, 8 and 1) of the various circuits likely to be borrowed are in position of possible completion of networks. Only the door 2 which also closes when the optionally selected detector (4, 5 or 6) is closed remains open.

La figure 3 'Système ON' montre dans un premier temps la porte 8 fermée et aiguillonnée en direction du capteur, ce qui rend possible, en secouant très légèrement l'ensemble, la complétion du circuit contenant le "capteur de mise marche" et la porte 1. Ce contact qui engage l'alimentation en énergie, permet alors à la micropuce de modifier en quelques centièmes de secondes, le parcours du circuit en ouvrant la porte 8 et en redirigeant le tracé directement vers la porte 1 en évitant ou contournant le capteur ayant servi à la mise en marche. Ce changement assure alors pendant quelques secondes une almentation énergétique continue du circuit contenant en outre le récepteur radio commandé (ainsi 8 + * +1 > devient 8 + 1). Ce circuit activé permet alors pendant quelques secondes à la télécommande (Figure 4) d'émettre la fréquence codée du détecteur souhaité. (Comme exemple, le détecteur A correspondant à la porte 4 est utilisée dans la figure 5). Le circuit des portes 8 et 1 est abansonné et laisse alors place au circuit des portes 4 - 3 - 2 . Le détecteur A est aussitôt activé (Figure 5 'Système alarme en attente'). Les autres détecteurs correspondant aux portes 5 et 6 si choisie, ne modifient en rien le tracé 3 - 2 qui reste constant.FIG. 3 'System ON' firstly shows the door 8 closed and gated towards the sensor, which makes it possible, by shaking very lightly all, the completion of the circuit containing the "start sensor" and the door 1. This contact which engages the supply of energy, then allows the microchip to modify in a few hundredths of seconds, the course of the circuit by opening the door 8 and redirecting the trace directly to the door 1 by avoiding or bypassing the sensor used for start-up. This change then ensures for a few seconds a continuous energy supply of the circuit containing in addition the radio controlled receiver (thus 8 + * +1> becomes 8 + 1). This activated circuit then allows for a few seconds the remote control (Figure 4) to transmit the coded frequency of the desired detector. (As an example, detector A corresponding to gate 4 is used in FIG. 5). The gate circuit 8 and 1 is abansonned and then leaves room for the gate circuit 4 - 3 - 2. The detector A is immediately activated (Figure 5 'Alarm system pending'). The other detectors corresponding to the doors 5 and 6 if chosen, do not modify in nothing the plot 3 - 2 which remains constant.

Dès la détection d'un mouvement ou d'une vibration, le capteur A (exemple utilisé) complète le circuit 4 - 3 - 2, qui aussitôt se modifie en contournant le détecteur A et passe au circuit 4-2 pour déclencher, pendant une durée prédéterminées par la micropuce, le piezo qui donne l'alarme (Figure 6 'Système alarme activée quelques secondes'). Si aucune vibration n'est par la suite perçue, la micropuce redonne au détecteur A son circuit initiale à savoir sa position d'attente en redonnant la position de base à la porte 3 pour rétablir le circuit d'attente 4-3-2 (Figure 7 Système - alarme de retour en attente').As soon as a motion or vibration is detected, the sensor A (example used) completes the circuit 4 - 3 - 2, which immediately changes by bypassing the detector A and goes to the circuit 4-2 to trigger, during a duration predetermined by the microchip, the piezo that gives the alarm (Figure 6 'Alarm system activated a few seconds'). If no vibration is subsequently perceived, the microchip restores the detector A to its initial circuit, namely its standby position by restoring the basic position to the door 3 to restore the standby circuit 4-3-2 ( Figure 7 System - back-up alarm ').

La mise de l'alarme en mode continu ne change pas le tracé électronique en cours mais doit se faire alors que l'alarme est en activité en appuyant plus longuement sur le bouton de la télécommande correspondant au détecteur activé. C'est la micropuce qui capte le message de la télécommande, enregistre et interprète la requête en modifiant la durée d'activation de l'alarme.The setting of the alarm in continuous mode does not change the current electronic trace but must be done while the alarm is active by pressing longer on the button of the remote corresponding to the activated detector. This is the microchip that captures the message from the remote control, records and interprets the request by changing the duration of activation of the alarm.

Pour arrêter l'alarme et revenir au circuit de base partiellement neutralisé (Figure 8 'Système ON'), le bouton STOP de la télécommande (8 - Fig. 1) doit être enfoncer quelques secondes. La micropuce en captant par l'entremise du récepteur, la fréquence radio codée du bouton ouvre toutes les portes des différents circuits électroniques neutralisant ainsi les différents détecteurs A-B-C, ne gardant fermées que les portes 8 et 1 et laissant le 'capteur de mise en marche' en position pour recréer le circuit 8 -1 (Figure 3' Système ON') et donner la possibilité à la télécommande (Figures 4 et 5) de réactiver le système de protection qu'est notre invention.To stop the alarm and return to the partially neutralized basic circuit (Figure 8 'System ON'), the STOP button on the remote control (8 - Fig. 1) must be pressed for a few seconds. The microchip captures by means of the receiver, the coded radio frequency of the button opens all the doors of the various electronic circuits thus neutralizing the different detectors ABC, keeping closed only the doors 8 and 1 and leaving the 'start-up sensor in position to recreate the circuit 8 -1 (Figure 3 'System ON') and give the possibility to the remote control (Figures 4 and 5) to reactivate the protection system that is our invention.

Le circuit ne nécessite peu de changement de tracé s'il est décidé d'élargir la capacité de de détection en donnant au système la qualité de capter à distance l'objet volée. Cette capacité signifie néanmoins l'utilisation d'un transceiver à radio commande qui doit pouvoir émettre à période rapprochée, un signal de reconnaissance pour lui permettre de scruter toute commande provenant de la télécommande sans que la plaquette fixé à l'objet volé n'ait besoin d'être bousculée pour réactiver à distance le circuit de l'un ou l'autre des détecteurs (A-B-C) intégrés à la plaquette. La seule différence apportée au circuit de base est que le 'capteur de mise en marche' (*) est retiré du circuit ainsi que la porte 8 pour un tracé sans coupure (Figure 8' Système ON'- voir porte 8 et le 'capteur' qui sont mis en relief) alors que le transceiver des plaquettes de détection de mouvements viennent avec scrutateur de réception d'ondes.The circuit requires little change of course if it is decided to expand the detection capability by giving the system the ability to remotely capture the stolen object. This capacity nevertheless means the use of a radio control transceiver which must be able to emit at a short period of time, a recognition signal enabling it to scrutinize any command from the remote control without the wafer attached to the stolen object having need to be jostled to reactivate remotely the circuit of any of the detectors (ABC) integrated in the wafer. The only difference made to the basic circuit is that the 'start sensor' (*) is removed from the circuit as well as the gate 8 for an uninterrupted path (Figure 8 'System ON' - see gate 8 and the 'sensor' 'which are highlighted) while the transceiver of motion detection pads come with wave receiving scanner.

Comment fonctionne l'inventionHow the invention works

Avant de placer la plaquette (1 - Fig.1) contenant le système de détection sur ou dans l'objet que l'on souhaite protéger, il faut dans une premier temps mettre le système en état de fonctionner (Fig. 2 «Système OFF' porte 8-1 de la Fig. 2) en donnant au bouton manuel (11) la position ON (Fig.3). Une fois cette étape accomplie, on peut alors fixer ou dissimuler la plaquette (1), dont le système est partiellement neutralisé, à ou dans l'objet que l'on souhaite sécuriser. Le circuit de la plaquette sans ou avec 'capteur de mise en marche' (*) peut rester dans la position de mise en marche sans craindre un enclenchement inopportun de l'alarme aussi longtemps que l'on ne souhaite pas faire appel à celle-ci (Fig. 3 'Système ON' - porte 8 et 1; voir aussi 8 - Fig. 1). Ce circuit bien qu'actionné en partie permet tant qu'il n'y a pas de commande émise par la télécommande, la mise en place en toute tranquillité de la plaquette sur l'objet à protéger. Cela fait, notre invention peut en un instant mettre le système de protection en phase 'surveillance' à partir de la télécommande sans devoir accéder à la plaquette maintenant discrètement en position. Cela est rendu possible par le capteur de mise en marche qui fonctionne comme les autres détecteurs utilisés dans notre invention en faisant entrer en contact une extrémité du composant le temps d'un bref instant suffisamment pour compléter le circuit, de ce système de sécurité qui se veut d'abord dissuasif. L'alimentation assurée, la sélection d'un détecteur à partir d'un bouton de la télécommande peut alors se faire dans les quelques secondes d'émissions radio disponibles ce qui place aussitôt le détecteur xsélectionné en position de mise en attente. Cette seconde phase en utilisant la télécommande ne se fait que lorsqu'un besoin de protection se fait sentir (ex. Fig 3-4-5). Ainsi grâce à ce circuit spécifique, aucune manipulation malplacé devient évidente lorsqu'une urgence nécessite une protection discrète mais immédiate. Le système de détection est armé en toute discrétion (mis à part un léger beep injdicatif) souvent à l'insu des malfaiteurs potentiels en secouant d'abord légèrement l'objet potentiellement menacé et en sélectionnant ensuite le détecteur à partir de la télécommande (Fig.4) .Before placing the plate (1 - Fig.1) containing the detection system on or in the object to be protected, the system must first be ready for operation (Fig. 2 "OFF system Door 8-1 of Fig. 2) by giving the manual knob (11) the ON position (Fig.3). Once this step has been completed, it is then possible to fix or conceal the wafer (1), the system of which is partially neutralized, with or in the object that it is desired to secure. The circuit of the wafer without or with 'start sensor' (*) can remain in the start position without fearing an undesirable activation of the alarm as long as it is not desired to use this alarm. (Fig. 3 'System ON' - door 8 and 1, see also 8 - Fig. 1). This circuit, although partially activated, allows as long as there is no command issued by the remote control, the setting up in any tranquility of the wafer on the object to protect. That is, our invention can in an instant put the protection system in 'monitoring' phase from the remote without having to access the wafer now discreetly in position. This is made possible by the start-up sensor which functions like the other detectors used in our invention by contacting one end of the component for a short time enough to complete the circuit, of this safety system which first wants to dissuade. The ensured power supply, the selection of a detector from a button of the remote control can then be done within a few seconds of available radio transmissions which immediately places the xselected detector in the standby position. This second phase using the remote control is only done when there is a need for protection (eg Fig 3-4-5). Thus, thanks to this specific circuit, no misplaced manipulation becomes obvious when an emergency requires discrete but immediate protection. The detection system is armed discreetly (apart from a slight injecting beep) often unbeknownst to potential criminals by first shaking the potentially threatened object slightly and then selecting the detector from the remote control (Fig. .4).

Si l'objet à sécuriser n'est pas déjà en mouvement, la complétion du circuit se fait donc en secouant très légèrement l'objet auquel est joint la plaquette qui contient l'ensemble des mécanismes de détection. Cette secousse anime le capteur de mise en marche ( 8 - Fig. 1 et Fig. 3-4) ce qui permet alors de compléter et d'activer pendant quelques secondes le circuit imprimé associant récepteur radio commandé, micropuce préprogrammée et pile d'alimentation secondaire (Fig. 3 - 'Système ON' portes 8 et 1). Le récepteur ainsi activé permet à l'émetteur de la télécommande (18 - Fig. 1 et Fig. 4) de communiquer avec la puce programmée (9 - Fig. 1) de la plaquette et d'activer , le mode de détection convenant le mieux à la situation (par ex. le détecteur A - Fig. 5 'Système - alarme en attente' porte 4-3-2) en pressant sur un des trois boutons 15-16-17 - Fig. 1). A partir de cet instant le mouvement subi par l'objet sécurisé sera transféré au détecteur de la plaquette habilité à le reconnaître (par ex. le détecteur A) qui complètera alors le circuit lié au piezo qui déclenchera l'alarme pendant quelques secondes (par ex. - Fig. 6 - 'Système - alarme activée quelques secs' portes 4-3-2 > 3-2) pour aussitôt se remettre en position d'attente de la prochaine vibration (Fig. 7 'Système d'alarme de retour en attente - portes 4-3-2).If the object to be secured is not already in motion, the completion of the circuit is done by shaking very slightly the object to which is attached the plate that contains all the detection mechanisms. This shake animates the start-up sensor (8 - Fig. 1 and Fig. 3-4), which allows to complete and activate for a few seconds the printed circuit combining radio controlled receiver, preprogrammed microchip and power supply battery. secondary (Fig. 3 - 'System ON' doors 8 and 1). The receiver thus enabled allows the transmitter of the remote control (18 - Fig. 1 and Fig. 4) to communicate with the programmed chip (9 - Fig. 1) of the wafer and to activate the appropriate detection mode. better to the situation (eg detector A - Fig. 5 'System - alarm waiting' door 4-3-2) by pressing one of the three buttons 15-16-17 - Fig. 1). From this moment on, the movement undergone by the secure object will be transferred to the detector of the plate able to recognize it (eg detector A) which will then complete the circuit connected to the piezo which will trigger the alarm for a few seconds (by eg - Fig. 6 - 'System - alarm activated a few secs' doors 4-3-2> 3-2) to immediately return to the waiting position for the next vibration (Fig. 7' Return alarm system waiting - doors 4-3-2).

Dans la position d'attente ou lorsque l'alarme (4) est déclenchée , il est de plus possible, dans un rayon raisonnable et, à partir de la télécommande, de placer l'alarme en mode continu. Il suffit pour cela de presser sur le bouton correspondant au détecteur déjà sélectionné (par exemple le bouton A de la télécommande, (Fig. 1 et Fig. 4) en direction de la plaquette. Pour l'arrêter, il suffira ensuite de presser sur le bouton STOP (18 - Fig. 1 et Fig. 4) de la télécommande ce qui, par la même occasion, désactive et neutralise partiellement tout le système de détection en le remettant au point de mise en marche (Fig. 8 - 'Système ON' - portes 3-2 > 8-1). Le système redevient alors disponbile sans plus, prêt à faire face tout discrètement à une nouvelle menace.In the standby position or when the alarm (4) is triggered, it is also possible, within a reasonable range and, from the remote control, to set the alarm in continuous mode. To do this, simply press the button corresponding to the detector already selected (for example button A on the remote control, (Fig.1 and Fig.4) in the direction of the wafer.To stop it, simply press on the STOP button (18 - Fig. 1 and Fig. 4) on the remote control which, at the same time, partially deactivates and deactivates the entire detection system by returning it to the starting point (Fig. 8 - 'System ON '- doors 3-2> 8-1) The system then becomes available again without any more, ready to face all discreetly a new threat.

Le détecteur peut être laissé u point de mise en marche s'il doit éventuellement être réactivé dans un espace de temps plus ou moins court. Sinon, on stoppera totalement le système en accédant à la plaquette discrètement dissimulée en glissant le bouton manuel sur la position OFF (retour donc à la figure 2 'Système - OFF' portes 8-1 > 0).The detector can be left at the start point if it has to be reactivated in a more or less short space of time. Otherwise, the system will be completely stopped by accessing the discreetly hidden wafer by sliding the manual button to the OFF position (return to Figure 2 'System - OFF' doors 8-1> 0).

La télécommande et les détecteurs du système répondant à des fréquences codées exclusives, l'unité (ou les unités) de protection associée(s) à la télécommande ne peut (peuvent) servir ou être déclenchée(s) par un équipement étranger à l'ensemble qui ne peut de plus vérifier si l'interception est valide qu'en provoquant le détecteur... Cette particularité devient encore plus évidente si le système de protection utilise un récepteur sans scrutateur de réception d'ondes.The remote control and the sensors of the system responding to exclusive coded frequencies, the unit (or units) of protection associated with the remote control can not be used or be triggered by equipment that is not part of the assembly and can not verify whether the interception is valid by causing the detector ... This feature becomes even more obvious if the protection system uses a receiver without a wave reception scanner.

Finalement, l'angle ou la position prise par la plaquette lorsque fixé sur l'objet à sécuriser n'a aucune importance puisque notre système de détection a la capacité d'être entièrement fonctionnelle et efficace peu importe l'emplacement ou le déplacement subi par l'objet, le détecteur étant actif sur un axe de 360°.Finally, the angle or position taken by the wafer when attached to the object to be secured is of no importance since our detection system has the ability to be fully functional and effective regardless of the location or displacement suffered by the object, the detector being active on a 360 ° axis.

  4. - A protection system by detection of movement of the object ptotected according to claim 3 characterized by unit (1) which following a light shock if the transmitter/receiver (12) works without a frequency scanner allows the electroniccircuit (Fig. 1-2-3) from the remote control unit (18 et Fig. 4) and without need to physically access the unit fixed on or inside the so secured object to set the system to work in order to select the appropriate detector and at the same time set the alarm in a standby position or otherwise partially neutralize the functionality of the unit, by immediately breaking contact with the two batterries (2-3) to insure maximum economy of the power system and lon life to the ensemble.
  5. - A protection system by detection of movement of the object ptotected according to claim 4 characterized by the fact that it comprises an external manual button bouton to sswitch off the entire system (1) which can not be put in a true OFF position inless there has been previously executed a partial neutralization of the activated detector and thus the circuit (Fig. 6-7-8), from the remote control unit (18 et Fig. 4) rendering otherwise inefficient and useless the manipulation of the manual switvch by the intruder if he so succeeds in reaching the credit sized plate alarm (1).
  6. - A protection system by detection of movement of the object ptotected characterized according to claim 1, en as it comprises a complementary detection effectuated by metal balls switchers that supervise the swiveling action of the object, allowing a normal use even though initial vibrations have been detected by the system (detector C in Fig. 2) and which otherwise brihgs about by the detection of an abrupt vibration the setting off of the alarm (4) stopped solely by the intervention of the remote control unit (18).
  7. - A protection system by detection of movement of the object ptotected characterized according to claim 1 by a vibration detector (8 and Fig. 3) which by shaking it slightly serves as to complete a first circuit of the system (1) to startup the unit and allowsa few seconds for the circuit to be energized and make the radio frequency receiver (12) available the transmission of a coded frequency from the remote control unit (18 and Fig. 4) and then cut the power and leave the system on standby undetectable (Fig. 5) and thus without consequence on the environment.
  8. - A protection system by detection of movement of the object protected according to claim 1 characterized by the fact that the exclusion of the startup detector from the circuit (8 et Fig. 3) as stated in claim 1, allows the replacement of the receiver (12) by a transceiver with a radio frequency scanner to allow the setting off of the alarm at a distance without trequiring previous detection of a vibration (Fig. 4-5) by the activated detector (8), this modification allowing the tracking and finding of the object abandoned by the thief while fleeing, characteristic which excludes nevertheless the use of this scanning module which does carry risks in location and situations known to be sensitive to radio frequencies.
