Brent W. Reed - Greenville SC
International Classification:
B60R 2510
US Classification:

Abstract:
An improved panic button apparatus suitable for use in various vehicle monitoring systems. The apparatus includes a portable transmitter in wireless communication with a receiver located on-board the vehicle. The transmitter includes a manual actuator, typically a button, functioning to selectively input a panic command from a user. The transmitter sends a coded signal to the receiver, preferably in the form of a frequency-varying spread spectrum signal. The particular code of the transmitted signal is decoded by the receiver, which informs the vehicle monitoring and alarm system through an appropriate output signal.
