Abstract

The invention provides a method and apparatus for alarm control. The system includes a processor in communication with a vehicle computing system (VCS) and a remote target. The processor is configured to receive an alarm message from the VCS, including GPS coordinates. The processor is further configured to interpret the alarm message to retrieve at least the GPS coordinates. The processor is also configured to perform reverse geocoding on the GPS coordinates to associate an address with the GPS coordinates. Also, the processor is configured to package the address in a new alarm message. Finally, the processor is configured to send the new alarm message to the remote destination target

Description

technical field [0001] The illustrative embodiments relate generally to a method and system for alarm control. Background technique [0002] Physical assaults in and around vehicles are becoming more common in certain areas of the world. People experience kidnapping, carjacking and other attacks while driving or using their vehicles. Victims of these personal emergencies expect to call someone for help. In some cases, they may be able to obtain their phone and use it to dial for help. In other cases, however, the phone may not be accessible, or the driver may not be able to use the phone for safety reasons. [0003] Although an alarm system (such as a panic system) exists for the vehicle, it may not be desirable to alert an attacker that the alarm has been triggered. Whether it is a "panic" type alert or an alert notifying the police, an alert trigger may cause the attacker to step up his actions against the victim. [0004] US Patent 8,013,734 generally discusses metho...
