Point-of-interest-based anti-vehicle theft systems and processes for using the same

A sensing method, comprising:

• determining, via at least one computing device, a location of a vehicle via a positioning circuitry;
• determining, via the at least one computing device, that a point of interest (POI) is within a predetermined distance from the location;
• determining, via the at least one computing device, that a person is moving away from the vehicle based on a measurement associated with a remote device;
• in response to determining that the POI is within the predetermined distance and that the person is moving away from the vehicle, entering, via the at least one computing device, into an armed mode;
• detecting, via the at least one computing device, an intrusion into the vehicle while in the armed mode based at least in part on measurements from at least one sensor;
• and
• transmitting, via the at least one computing device, a message of the intrusion to a particular device associated with a user account.

A sensing system comprising:

• a transmission device comprising:
• a first transceiver;
• and
• a first computing device in communication with the first transceiver;
• and
• a sensing device comprising:
• a second transceiver;
• and
• a second computing device in communication with the second transceiver, the second computing device being configured to:
• determine that a point of interest (POI) associated with a predefined category of POIs corresponds to a location of the second computing device;
• determine, via the second transceiver, that a person is moving away from a vehicle based on communications with the first computing device via the first transceiver;
• in response to determining that the location of the vehicle corresponding to the POI and that the person is moving away from the vehicle, enter into an armed mode;
• detect an intrusion into the vehicle while in the armed mode;
• and
• generate an alarm in response to the intrusion.
