Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an anti-theft system. The anti-theft system may include electrical and mechanical components to prevent, and deter theft. The anti-theft system includes a battery-powered electric system logic board, creating remote-use for the anti-theft system. An arming and disarming feature of the anti-theft system may include using a programmed code on an external keypad.
Claims20
An anti-theft system, the system comprising:
- a microcontroller unit;
- an accelerometer module configured to detect both dynamic and static acceleration and communicate a signal corresponding to the dynamic and static acceleration to the microcontroller unit;
- a brake control circuit communicatively coupled to the microcontroller unit and the accelerometer module and configured to engage a braking system based on the dynamic and static acceleration;
- a siren control circuit communicatively coupled to the microcontroller unit and configured to engage a siren based on the dynamic and static acceleration;
- and
- a keypad, wherein the microcontroller unit is programmed with instructions configured that, when implemented, permit entry of a personalized code for locking and unlocking the anti-theft system using the keypad.
3 more elements
A method of using an anti-theft system, the system comprising:
- mounting the anti-theft system;
- attaching a set of wires on a first end of the anti-theft system to a vehicle and a second set of wires on a second end of the anti-theft system to a trailer;
- powering on the anti-theft system;
- arming the anti-theft system;
- monitoring, at an accelerometer, both static and dynamic acceleration of the anti-theft system against a baseline;
- determining, based upon the comparison of the static and dynamic acceleration against the baseline, whether a theft event is occurring;
- and
- activating a braking system and/or a siren system based upon the determination that the theft event is occurring.
