Abstract

An alert system having a first wireless tag; and a control device capable of being in communication with the first wireless tag, wherein when the control device receives a signal from the wireless tag it is an indication of no event, and when the control device does not receive a signal from the wireless tag it is an indication of an even, thus the control device sends a notification to the user.

Claims (12)

1. An alert system comprising:

a first wireless tag; and

a control device capable of being in communication with the first wireless tag,

wherein when the first wireless tag is paired with the control device and the first wireless tag and the control device move together with minimal or no change in proximity and when a motion sensor does not detect a vehicular motion, then the control device unarms itself,

wherein when the first wireless tag is paired with the control device and the first wireless tag and the control device move together with minimal or no change in proximity and when the motion sensor detects a vehicular motion, then the control device arms itself, and

wherein once armed, when the first wireless tag and the control device at least one of (i) lose communication contact, (ii) separate a pre-determined distance, or (iii) change proximity by a pre-determined distance, then the armed control device communicates a notification to a user.

2. The alert system of claim 1 , wherein the motion sensor is incorporated in at least one of the control device, a device incorporating the first wireless tag, and a device separate from the control device or the device incorporating the first wireless tag.

3. The alert system of claim 1 , wherein the notification is communicated to the user at a predetermined time after the first wireless tag and the control device (i) separate a pre-determined distance, (ii) change proximity by a pre-determined distance, (iii) lose communication with one another, and a combination thereof.

4. The alert system of claim 1 further comprising a second wireless tag in communication with at least one of the first wireless tag and the control device.

5. The alert system of claim 4 , wherein the first wireless tag and the second wireless tag are paired to the control device and wherein when the control device, the first wireless tag, and the second wireless tag move together and in proximity to each other and when the motion sensor detects a movement in a manner consistent with a motion of a vehicle, then the alert system arms itself.

6. The alert system of claim 5 , wherein the first wireless tag and the second wireless tag are paired to the control device and wherein the control device, the first wireless tag, and the second wireless tag move together and in proximity to each other and when the motion sensor does not detect a movement in a manner consistent with a motion of a vehicle, then the alert system disarms itself.

7. The alert system of claim 5 , wherein the second wireless tag is paired to the control device and wherein the control device and the second wireless tag move together and in proximity to each other and when the motion sensor does not detect a movement in a manner consistent with a motion of a vehicle, then the alert system disarms itself.
