72. Defendants have infringed, contributed to the infringement, and induced others
to infringe the ‘151 Patent and, unless enjoined, will continue to infringe the ‘151 Patent
by manufacturing, using, selling, offering for sale, or by using the apparatus and
method(s) claimed in the ‘151 Patent or by contributing to or inducing others to make,

testing, making, using, offering for sale, selling, and/or importing of smartwatch
vehicular systems, components and software thereof made in the subject of the First
Claim for Relief.
77. Questions of fact common to all Defendants will arise in this action including, for
example, infringement by, or through use of, smartwatch vehicular systems,
components, and software thereof. Thus, joinder of the Defendants is proper in this

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
RELATED APPLICATION
Priority as claimed under 35 USC 119/e for Provisional
Patent Application 60/470,566, ?led May 14, 2003
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to interacting With a security
system through a Watch interface. The Watch Will be com
prised of a display screen(s) that Will shoW digital read-outs
of the security system’s status. The invention comprises
relaying regular Watch functions (time, date, etc.) also on a
display screen(s).
BACKGROUND
1. Field of Invention
This invention relates to security systems for vehicles and
Will later expand to homes. A user of the remote Watch Will
not only be able to keep track of the time but also Will be
able to arm/lock, disarm/unlock and remotely start their
vehicle by pushing speci?c buttons on the Watch. It is
common for people to lose or misplace their keys along With
the keyless remote that is attached to the keys. Since the
Watch is placed on the users Wrist, the user never has to
Worry about damage due to dropping it on a hard surface, in
liquids (ex. Water), or even losing their keyless remote as
you Would by having a keyless remote attached to keys or a
key chain.
2. Prior Art (Discussion and Criticism of the Relevant
Prior Art)
Some of the latest inventions in the ?eld of car security
have been the 2-Way transceivers.
They comprise of:
i. A display screen
ii. 4 buttons
iii. A small antennae
The 2-Way transceiver remote con?rms that your vehicle
has received signals and alerts the user to system triggers
and theft attempts. This remote can display 20 different
icons including transmit, receive, remote start, arm/disarm,
hood, trunk, door ajar, and extra sensors. The Auto Security
Compustar is a semi-small remote start keyless entry that
displays a car on the screen and shoWs the part ofthe car that
is being tampered With.
These particular devices look like toys. They both still
hold true to the traditional keyless entry remotes that can be
attached to a key chain and possibly damaged by those
people Who toss their keys around and lost by those Who are
careless. It is also not Waterproofas our invention can be and
Will not have the style along With convenience, as our
invention Will.
OBJECTIVES AND ADVANTAGES (POSITIVE
ASPECTS OF INVENTION)
The advantages of this invention are:
i. Digital or analog or a combination of digital/analog
ii. Linking the individual to his/her vehicle at all times
iii. Vibrates/beeping sound to alarm an individual When
ever the vehicle is being tampered With and When the
alarm is triggered.
iv. The Watch gives you feedback by transmitting the
condition of the vehicle.

v. This invention is located in the most convenient and
easy to access area, the user’s Wrist. Having the device
on the Wrist Will alloW hassle-free convenient usage.
Other car security devices have to be pulled out of a
pocket, bag, or another area.
vi. The Watch displays the time.
vii. Keeps track of time and a vehicle at all times.
viii. If you loose your keys you Will also loose your
keyless entry alarm remote. Since the security system
is located on the Watch, a person does not have to Worry
about losing the keyless remote.
ix. Ifyou loose your keys then a person can feel safe about
leaving a spare key in the car because they Will still be
able to unlock and disarm the security system from the
remote Watch Which is Worn on your Wrist and not
attached to the keys Which can be lost.

OPERATIONiMAIN EMBODIMENT (HOW IT
WORKS)
Explanation of Circuits
Figures 3, 4, 5, & 6
This design assumes the main source ofpoWer is a 3 V DC
supply for a Watch circuit and for a remote control trans
mitter circuit. It is assumed that eight single-post-single
single-throW sWitches are available, each connected to some
sWitched circuit and each With a loW voltage terminal and a
20

high voltage terminal. The circuit Works for a loW voltage
terminal post that is approximately at ground potential and
for small AC signals at open-circuited sWitch terminals. The
Lth pair of sWitch lines are connected to an impedance
(ZSDL) that models the L“ sWitched circuit, L e{l, 2, . . . ,
Figure 3
By assumption, eight sWitches are available from tWo
systems: the Watch and the remote control transmitter 300.
The sWitching circuitry 301 enables the controlling and
operating means of the Watch and security system functions
by the selection of any one of the eight pairs of lines 304
across Which a sWitch can be placed. This selection occurs
by placing a three-bit binary address on the sWitch select
lines 304. In addition, the sWitching circuitry 301 develops
an electronic sWitch that opens and closes, placing it across
the selected pair of lines (the Lth lines).
Figure 4
Normally a mechanical SPST sWitch With tWo terminals
is connected to a “sWitched circuit 400.” This sWitch is
removed, replaced by an electronic sWitch 403. The elec
tronic sWitch 403 consists primarily of an enhanced metal
oxide semiconductor ?eld effect transistor (EnMOSFET).
The EnMOSFET sWitch consists of a source 403a, gate
403b, and drain 4030. The EnMOSFET AC SWitch (EACS)
circuit indirectly connects the high 402 and loW 401 termi
nals of the sWitch for small AC signals. The 2 k9 resistor
404 on the drain provides on-state protection, and deter
mines a DC quiescent point.
Figure 5
A&B
FIG. 5a shoWs the EnMOSFET sWitch connected to the
AC output 50011. When the gate voltage of the EnMOSFET
sWitch is high 501a (~3 V), turning the transistor on, an AC
ground exists on the drain 505a terminal of the FET placing
the drain 505a and source 50611 at approximately the same
potential. FIG. 5b is the closed circuit condition of the
electron sWitch. When the gate voltage is loW 502b, AC
current ?oW discontinues resulting in an open circuit or the
open electron switch 503!) condition. The 2 k9 resistor 50419
on the drain provides on-state protection, and determines a
DC quiescent point.
Figure 6
This design assumes the main source ofpoWer is a 3 V DC
600 supply for a Watch circuit 602 and for a remote control
transmitter 601 circuit. It is assumed that eight single-post
single-single-throW sWitches are available, each connected
to some sWitched circuit and each With a loW voltage
terminal (603!) & 60419) and a high voltage terminal (603a
& 604a). The sWitching circuitry primarily consists of the
EACS 609 and tWo multiplexers. TWo 8-to-l multiplexers
operate in parallel sharing the same address lines (sWitch
select lines). One multiplexer 611 selects the high potential
terminal of the Lth sWitch and the other 612 selects the loW
potential terminal. The EACS 609 produces the opening and
closing actions of the sWitch.

Operation
Figure 2
Watch Transmitter
The remote Watch car alarm system includes the Watch
(see FIG. 2) and an onboard control module (see FIG. 1).
The Watch that is Worn by the vehicle oWner/operator
consists of an LCD screen 202, operational keypad 201,
code generator 210, mode controller 209, memory 203,
timer 208, transceiver 211, and buZZer 206. The onboard
module (see FIG. 1) Will consist of a controller processing
unit 100 or a microprocessor program controller, timer 105,
memory unit 104, transceiver 108, proximity detector 107,
sensor Zone circuitry 106, input interface 109, and an output
interface 110.
Referring to the schematic block diagram of FIG. 2, the
remote Watch includes a liquid crystal display 202 for
displaying such information as the time, date, Mode State of
the Watch, and preset alarm times. The said Watch Will also
include an operational keypad 201 for entering a variety of
functions including, information for the date and time or car
security functions such as arm/disarm, remote start and etc.
The control section 207 of the Watch has a mode control
ler 209, code generator 210, and an alarm timer 208. The
mode controller 209 sets the mode in Which the Watch Will
operate. The code generator 210 inputs code data 212 to the
circuitry ofthe transceiver 211. The timer 208 Will cause the
mode controller 209 to sWitch back to the Watch setting
(mode) after a car security button is pressed on the keypad
201. The timer 208 Will then alert the user When an alarm
time is activated via the buZZer 206. As Would be readily
understood by those skilled in the art.
The digital remote Watch further includes memory (203)
and a buZZer (206). The memory 203 Will be used for storage
of data such as the set alarm generating time (Wake-up
alarm), the mode being currently affected, the month, day,
year data, and the time (hour/minute). The buZZer 206 Will
chirp With the corresponding car security functions (ex.
ann/disarm) as Well as With (Wake-up) alarm settings.
Operation
Figure 1
Onboard Control Module
Referring to FIG. 1, the operational signal 103 from the
digital Watch remote 102 is received by the external antenna
101 then the transceiver 108 receives the ampli?ed signal
from the transmitting/receiving antenna 101 and feeds the
received operational signal to the proximity detector 107.
The proximity detector 107 veri?es the interrogating signal,
detects the level of received operation signal, generates a
proximity signal When the signal is above a predetermined
level, the detector then feeds the proximity signal to the
controller processing unit 100.
The controller-processing unit 100 generates a series of
control signals or pulses as its outputs. These include
activities such as locking the doors and arming the system.
For example, arming the system causes a ?ash of the
automobile parking lights 125, a single chirp from the siren
126, and causing the ?ashing the interior LED 124 status
indicator to activate. Additionally, arming the system causes
the starter 118 to be cut and if the interior dome light 123 is
on, to turn it off, as Would be readily understood by those
skilled in the art.
The timer component 105 measures a preset time and is
set and/or reset under the control of the controller-process
ing unit 100. The memory 104 functions as an internal
memory for the controller-processing unit 100 or as an
auxiliary memory for other components or devices incorpo
20

rated in the system. Data Writing to or reading from the
memory is performed under the control of the controller
processing unit 100. This is readily understood by those
skilled in the art.
As illustrated, the input interface 109 is connected to
various vehicle inputs including an ignition sWitch 111,
trunk sWitch 112, hood sWitch 113, door sWitches 114, key
in ignition sWitch, pre-Wam sensor, valet sWitch 115 and
Zone sensors 106. The sensor Zone circuitry 106 performs
the security function of the automobile. When the sensor
Zone circuitry 106 detects tampering, it generates a signal
and feeds it directly to the controller-processing unit 100. As
Would be readily understood by those skilled in the art, other
inputs are also contemplated by the present invention and
are described by the term sensor.
The output interface 110 of the controller-processing unit
100 can be connected to a variety of output devices. The
outputs may include and not limited to auxiliary relays such
as WindoW control 116 or remote start 121, as Would be
readily understood by those skilled in the art. Other outputs
include a panic output 117, starter kill 118, disarm/arm
outputs 119/120, dome light 123, parking lamps 125, siren
126, alphanumeric character display 122, and valet/dash
board red or green emitting LED’s 124.
