## Abstract

An alarm system comprises an enclosure, a power source, an alerting module, a sensor and a controller. The power source, the alerting module, the sensor and the controller are contained in the enclosure. The alerting module generates an alarm when receiving power from the power source. The sensor detects its own position information. A sensitivity of the sensor is sufficient to detect an opening of the enclosure. The controller is operatively connected to the power source, the alerting module and the sensor. The controller receives the position information from the sensor, detects a change of the position information received from the sensor and, in response to detecting the change of the position information, causes the power source to deliver power to the alerting module.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An alarm system, comprising:
an enclosure;
a power source contained in the enclosure;
an alerting module contained in the enclosure and adapted to generate an alarm when receiving power from the power source;
a sensor contained in the enclosure and adapted to detect a position information of the sensor, a sensitivity of the sensor being sufficient to detect an opening of the enclosure; and
a controller contained in the enclosure and operatively connected to the power source, the alerting module and the sensor, the controller being configured to:
receive the position information from the sensor,
detect a change of the position information received from the sensor, and
in response to detecting the change of the position information, cause the power source to deliver power to the alerting module.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The alarm system of claim 1, wherein the alerting module comprises a sound output device and the generated alarm is an audible sound.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The alarm system of claim 2, wherein the sound output device is a siren.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The alarm system of claim 1, wherein the alerting module comprises a wireless transmitter adapted to transmit an alert signal toward a remote alerting module.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The alarm system of claim 1, further comprising a relay contained in the enclosure, the controller being further configured to cause the relay to connect the alerting module to the power source in response to detecting the change of the position information.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The alarm system of claim 5, wherein the controller is further configured to cause the relay to disconnect the alerting module from the power source a predetermined period of time after the connection of the alerting module to the power source.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The alarm system of claim 1, further comprising a power converter contained in the enclosure, electrically connected to the power source and adapted to energize the sensor and the controller.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The alarm system of claim 7, further comprising a wireless receiver contained in the enclosure, energized by the power converter and adapted to:
receive, from a remote terminal, commands to turn on and turn off the alarm system;
electrically connect the sensor and the controller to the power converter when receiving the command to turn on the alarm system; and
disconnect the sensor and the controller from the power converter when receiving the command to turn off the alarm system.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The alarm system of claim 1, wherein the power source is a battery of a vehicle.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The alarm system of claim 1, wherein the sensor is a gyroscope.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The alarm system of claim 1, wherein :
the sensor is further adapted to calculate the position information of the alarm system at regular intervals; and
the controller is further adapted to:
receive the position information at each regular interval, and
cause the power source to deliver power to the alerting module when a difference between a newly received position information and position information stored in the controller is greater than a predetermined threshold.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The alarm system of claim 11, wherein:
the sensor is further adapted to calculate the position information of the alarm system as a three-dimensional (3D) data set; and
the controller is further adapted to:
compare a newly received 3D data set with a stored 3D data set, and
cause to the power source to deliver power to the alerting module when a difference between at least one dimension of the newly received 3D data set and a corresponding at least one dimension of the stored 3D data set is greater than the predetermined threshold.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The alarm system of claim 1, wherein the enclosure is a lockable enclosure.
