VEHICLE PROXIMITY ALARM SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a method of proximity detection based on transmitting at random intervals burst of an RF signal an d receiving, while not transmitting, a received RF signal. When detecting said received RF signal emitted by a target in range, an alarm signal is provided to warn of the proximity of the target. Another aspect of the invention is t o deploy the above method among members of a territory and provide a monitorin g patrol to verify if the proximity of those members can be detected from thei r RF signal. Another aspect of the invention is to provide to those members a plurality of statuses among which each member selects one corresponding to i ts current status and transmits that status in the RF signal he transmits, thereby informing other members in range of his current status.
