Abstract

A vehicular burglar-proof system includes (i) a plurality of alarm unit, (ii) a detection unit for detecting movement, opening, and closing of a movable body, and (iii) a control unit connected to the plurality of alarm unit and the detection unit. A predetermined operation of the movable body allows the control unit to turn off the plurality of alarm unit or change the alarm unit into a predetermined alarming state. This structure can provide a user-friendly vehicular burglar-proof system in which an alarming state can easily be selected according to the use.

Claims (15)

1. A vehicular burglar-proof system comprising:

a plurality of alarm units configured to indicate an alarm has been activated;

a detection unit for detecting movement, opening, and closing of at least one of a plurality of movable bodies; and

a control unit coupled to the plurality of alarm units and the detection unit;

wherein a predetermined operation of the at least one of the plurality of movable bodies allows the control unit to select one of the plurality of alarm units to indicate a predetermined alarming state.

2. The vehicular burglar-proof system of claim 1 , wherein a predetermined operation of the at least one of the plurality of movable bodies allows the control unit to select one or more of the plurality of alarm units such that a combination of the selected alarm units indicates a predetermined alarming state.

3. The vehicular burglar-proof system of claim 1 , wherein the control unit stores an alarming state before the plurality of alarm units are turned off, and a predetermined operation of the at least one of the plurality of movable bodies restores the alarming state before the plurality of alarm units are turned off.

4. The vehicular burglar-proof system of claim 1 , wherein a predetermined operation of the at least one of the plurality of movable bodies allows the control unit to sequentially change an alarming state.

5. The vehicular burglar-proof system of claim 1 , wherein a second predetermined operation of the at least one of the plurality of movable bodies allows the control unit to turn off the plurality of alarm units.

6. The vehicular burglar-proof system of claim 5 , wherein if one of the plurality of the movable bodies sequentially comes into a predetermined condition and comes out from the predetermined condition, the alarming state is canceled.

7. The vehicular burglar-proof system of claim 1 , wherein if while one of the plurality of the movable bodies is kept in a predetermined condition, another of the plurality of the movable bodies is operated a predetermined number of times successively, then one of the plurality of alarm units corresponding to the predetermined number of times is selected.

8. The vehicular burglar-proof system of claim 2 , wherein if while one of the plurality of the movable bodies is kept in a predetermined condition, another of the plurality of the movable bodies is successively operated a predetermined number of times, then said ones of the plurality of alarm units corresponding to the predetermined number of times is selected.

9. The vehicular burglar-proof system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of movable bodies is one of a door knob, a locking knob, and a key cylinder.

10. The vehicular burglar-proof system of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of movable bodies include a door knob, a locking knob, and a key cylinder.

11. The vehicular burglar-proof system of claim 5 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of movable bodies is a key cylinder.
