Description

The invention relates to burglar alarm systems and can be used by people equipped with individual warning equipment (hereinafter, system subscribers) for prompt notification of interested persons (relatives, close friends) and specialized services (police, rescue services, etc.) about emerging threats to the security of system subscribers.

There are known alarm systems containing a central monitoring point (control station) (central monitoring station) and object equipment installed at the protected objects: monitoring sensors (security detectors) and object terminal devices connected via a notification transmission system to the monitoring station.

In the general case, to protect a moving object, for example, a car from theft or theft, a global satellite navigation receiver (GPS module) is introduced into the object equipment. The output of the GPS module is connected to the input of the object terminal device for transmitting information on the vehicle’s current location via radio channel to the monitoring station (for example, US patent No. 5650770, G 08 V 25/10).

The disadvantages of such systems are the complexity, the relatively high cost and large dimensions of the radio transmitting equipment, resulting in the inconvenience, and in some cases the inability to use the specified equipment in a portable version. This is a consequence of the use of high radiation power for transmitting information to the monitoring station.

High-power radiation creates, in addition, interference to radioelectronic devices operating in the system coverage area, which also limits the possibilities of practical application of such systems.

A well-known solution to this problem is the use of terrestrial relay networks, in particular microcellular data networks (MRTDs). So, in patent RU No. 2182088, 60 R 25/00, a radio-channel alarm system is presented which contains fixed security detectors installed on protected real estate objects connected via buffer devices to stationary object terminal devices having stationary antennas for radio communication, portable object terminals located at the protected subscribers of the system with integrated antennas for radio communication, a control center with a processing and display processor I cartographic and semantic information, the radio connection is made in the form of MRTD with base stations and relays, configured to receive code messages from object terminals, selection and relay of these messages to the nearest base station or relay.

The use of data transmission in the MRTD system, on the one hand, is the advantage of the system compared to the above-mentioned systems (relatively low radiation power and, accordingly, the possibility of implementing a wearable version of subscriber equipment), and on the other hand, causes its drawback, which manifests itself all the more the larger the required system coverage.

This drawback is the need to increase the number of ground-based relay devices in proportion to the area of the desired system coverage area. This complicates the infrastructure of the system, increases its cost and, most importantly, creates very serious organizational and technical problems (the need to coordinate the frequency-territorial plan for station location with law enforcement agencies, obtain permits for land use and construction work, etc.).

The technical solution according to patent RU No. 2198800, 60 R 25/00, G 08 B 13/00, according to which the aforementioned radio channel alarm system containing fragments of the MRTD, is directed to increase the effective area of the system without significantly complicating and increasing the cost of ground-based infrastructure, a dispatch center with a device for processing and displaying cartographic and semantic information, as well as stationary alarm installations and portable object terminals located at the protected subscribers of the system construction, introduced:

- in stationary alarm installations - a stationary radio modem connected to a standard network of a mobile land radio service,

- to the dispatch center - a central radio modem connected to a standard network of a mobile land radio service.

At the same time, a standard GSM mobile network is used as a standard network of a land mobile radio service, and stationary and central GSM modems, respectively, as a stationary and central radio modems.

Thanks to these innovations, the above-described radio channel system provides the required coverage area with a significantly smaller number of relay stations than the prototype system. This allows you to significantly reduce the capital cost of creating an ISMT, but does not remove the problems of an organizational and legal nature.

Significantly simpler in practical implementation is the alarm system and location of remote objects according to US patent No. 6636175, Н 04 В 7/185, which focuses on standard communication and data network services provided by the provider of these services.

This system contains a dispatch center associated with the equipment of the provider and configured to interact with forces and means of responding to security threats to subscribers, subscriber units located at the subscribers, each of which contains a microprocessor connected to the display and connected to the subscriber’s interface, as well as the specified microprocessor GPS module, a Bluetooth module and a transceiver module, configured to interact over a standard communication network and transmit data with equipment a provider associated with equipment located with interested individuals or services ensuring the safety of the subscriber, for example, with a dispatch center configured to operatively interact with response forces and means.

The specified system provides the ability to identify and determine the location of a remote subscriber of the system, for example, a child returning from school, equipped with the above subscriber unit.

In one of the possible embodiments of the system, discussed in the aforementioned US patent No. 6636175, Н 04 В 7/185, the role of the standard communication and data transmission network is played by the paging network, and the role of the transceiver module of the subscriber unit is the subscriber's pager. The dispatch center sends a paging request message to the aforementioned pager included in the subscriber unit. Using the GPS module, the subscriber unit determines the location of the subscriber of the system and generates a response message containing the measured coordinates of the subscriber. Through a paging network, this message is sent to the provider's equipment, which transmits the coordinates of the subscriber to the control center equipment associated with the forces and means of rapid response.

In the event of a security threat to the subscriber of the system, the latter gives an alarm signal that contains information about its location obtained using the GPS module. The transceiver module sends this alarm message through the paging network to the provider, which forwards it to the dispatch center, which decides to use certain response forces and means to eliminate the subscriber’s security risk.

A similar service, but using a standard cellular mobile network, implements the well-known MTS Mobile Bodyguard project (www.mts.ru). As a subscriber device, it uses a specialized model of a GSM phone with built-in GPS module and / or panic button.

Such specialized GSM-phone models are, for example, phones of the Finnish company Benefon, information about which is presented on the website www.08911.ru. So, Benefon Track Pro GSM phone is a device that combines a GSM cell phone and a professional security tool with a built-in GPS module. It allows you to transmit alarm information in an emergency by pressing a special key on the phone. When an alarm is received, it is possible to automatically request the operator’s coordinates of the subscriber’s coordinates and receive them from his GSM phone.

The system according to US patent No. 6636175, H 04 B 7/185 with a subscriber device in the form of a specialized cell phone type Benefon Track Pro is selected as a prototype of the present invention.

The disadvantages of the prototype system include the following.

Specialized GSM-phones with built-in GPS-module are expensive electronic devices that are not available to all subscribers. But the main drawback is not so much the high price as the restriction on the freedom of choice of a cell phone model by the subscriber. It is known that in addition to functionality, buyers are interested in the appearance of the phone, the location of the interface buttons, display settings and much more. Finally, many subscribers do not want to abandon the GSM-phone model they have already loved. The technical solution described above does not allow them to realize this opportunity, limiting the choice to two or three expensive models of GSM-phones such as Benefon Track Pro. In addition, the open use of the GSM-phone interface buttons in an extreme situation (for example, during an unexpected attack on the street, in the elevator or in the building entrance) can lead to inadequate actions by the attacker, which are associated with a threat to the health and life of the subscriber of the system.

The proposed technical solution is aimed at eliminating these shortcomings of the prototype system.

The subject of the invention is an alarm and location determination system comprising a GPS module and a subscriber device located at a subscriber, which includes a first Bluetooth module and a GSM phone including a microprocessor configured to exchange data with a first Bluetooth module, as well as a display connected to the microprocessor and an interface and a transceiver module connected to the microprocessor, made with the possibility of two-way data exchange via a standard communication network and transmitting data from the device a provider’s tour associated with a dispatch center configured to interact with reaction forces and means and with the ability to turn on external alarm devices — in this case, a panic button with a second Bluetooth module is covertly placed with the subscriber, and the GPS module is a stand-alone Wearable device equipped with a third Bluetooth module.

Particular features of the invention are as follows.

The first Bluetooth module is made in the form of a standalone wearable device connected to a microprocessor of a GSM telephone with a cable.

The dispatch center is a station serviced by one or more operators, which is equipped with a processor connected to the provider's equipment and configured to affect expansion modules, and a text liquid crystal indicator (LCD) connected to its outputs and a relay configured to control external alarm devices.

The dispatch center contains a monitoring station associated with the equipment of the provider, and a unit for processing and displaying cartographic and semantic information, which is configured to determine the location of the subscriber using the coordinates of the subscriber, measured using the GPS module, and electronic versions of the map plan, serviced by one or more operators terrain or floor plan of the building in which the subscriber is located, and the input of the processing and display unit of cartographic and semantic information is connected to the output A monitoring station configured to control external alarm devices.

The objective of the invention is the creation of an alarm system and location, which would allow the subscriber in an emergency, for example, in case of a sudden attack (on the street, in the stairwell, elevator) to covertly transmit an alarm containing data about its location, by pressing a single button, without removing GSM phone from your pocket or bag. Moreover, the subscriber could use any commercially available model of a GSM phone to transmit an alarm notification. At the same time, all the possibilities of the two-way exchange of information with the dispatch center, which the prototype system has, should be preserved.

The technical result achieved is achieved through the use of wireless communication between autonomously operating nodes:

GSM-telephone, GPS-module and panic button using the Bluetooth-modules connected with these nodes.

The invention is illustrated in figures 1-3.

Figure 1 presents the General structural diagram of the system. Figure 2 shows the structural diagram of a component of the proposed system - the dispatch center (one of the possible options). In Fig.3 shows a structural diagram of the same as in Fig.2, an integral part of the proposed system - the dispatch center (another possible variant of the circuit implementation).

Figure 1-3 used the following notation: 1 - subscriber device; 2 - the first Bluetooth module; 3 - panic button; 4 - second Bluetooth module; 5 - GPS module; 6 - the third Bluetooth module; 7 - GSM phone; 8 - microprocessor; 9 - transceiver module; 10 - interface; 11 - display; 12 - provider equipment; 13 - dispatch center; 14 or 14 '- the monitoring station; 15 - processor; 16 - text LCD; 17 - relay; 18 - block processing and display of cartographic and semantic information.

The proposed alarm system and location determination contains wearable (that is, located at the subscriber - in clothes, bag, etc.) equipment: subscriber unit 1, panic button 3 and GPS module 5.

In addition to wearable equipment, the proposed system also includes:

- dispatch center 13, made with the possibility of interaction with response forces and means (for example, with foot patrol police units, crews of patrol cars, rescue services and other means);

- provider equipment 12, connected using a standard communication and data network, for example, a GSM network, with a GSM phone 7, which is part of the subscriber unit 1.

Moreover, the provider equipment 12 is also connected to the dispatch center 13 and is configured to identify the cell number of the standard communication network and data transmission through which an alarm notification generated by the GSM telephone 7 was transmitted.

The structure of the wearable equipment includes a number of built-in (or connected via cables) autonomous Bluetooth modules that automatically enter into two-way communication when located at a certain distance from each other:

- the first Bluetooth module 2, which is part of the subscriber device 1;

- the second Bluetooth module 4, which is part of the panic button 3;

- the third Bluetooth module 6, which is part of the GPS module 5.

Dispatch center 13 can be performed in various ways. In the simplest embodiment, the control center 13 is a monitoring station 14 (Fig.2), which includes a processor 15 associated with the equipment 12 of the provider. Moreover, the control of the monitoring station 14 is carried out by the operator of the dispatch center 13, connected, for example, using a mobile phone, with the forces and means of response. The outputs of the processor 15, which is part of the monitoring station 14, are connected to the text LCD 16 and to the relay 17, which has an output to external alarm devices (siren, light alarm, etc.). Various expansion modules (personal computer, printer, additional processor, etc.) can also be connected to the processor 15.

Wider functionality provides the option of building a control center 13, shown in figure 3. In this embodiment, the dispatch center 13 consists of a monitoring station 14 '(configured to program, but not operational control by the operator of the dispatch center 13) and a block 18 for processing and displaying cartographic and semantic information (controlled by the operator of the dispatch center 13). The monitoring station 14 'is connected (similar to the construction of the dispatch center 13, shown in figure 2) with the equipment 12 of the provider. The operator of the dispatch center 13, in turn, is connected, for example, using a mobile phone, with the forces and means of response. At the same time, the output of the monitoring station 14 'is connected to the input of the block 18 for processing and displaying cartographic and semantic information, made with the possibility of control by the operator of the dispatch center 13.

All nodes used in the proposed system are known and widely used in practice.

So, a GSM phone 7 is a regular mobile phone in the basic configuration: a microprocessor 8 connected to the display 11 and connected to the transceiver module 9 and with the interface 10 (with an alphanumeric keyboard). Moreover, unlike the prototype system, focused on the use of a specialized model of a GSM phone, the proposed system can use any mass-produced model of a GSM phone 7 that attracts the attention of the subscriber.

Panic button 3 is one of the widely used components of security systems. So, for example, the Rif Ring-701 radio-channel security system, commercially available by the applicant enterprise (certificate of conformity No.POCC.RU.ME30.B.00543), includes one of the panic button 3 options: the short-range radio button RR-701TM ( catalog "Radio channel security systems", LLC "Altonika", Moscow, 2003, p.6). The short-range radio button RR-701TM is a miniature transmitter designed to transmit alarms when you press the only mechanical button located on its body. A mechanical button is pressed by the subscriber in an emergency, for example, in the event of a sudden attack on him, to call medical personnel, etc. The short-range radio button RR-701TM has a transmitter output power of about 5 mW, a range of several hundred meters. It works in the temperature range from minus 20 to plus 40 ° C. Its dimensions do not exceed 55 × 32 × 32 mm with a mass (with battery and carbine) of not more than 30 g.

GPS modules 5 are also widely used in practice. So, one of the options for GPS-module 5 is part of the REEF GSM-3000 information and security system, also commercially available by the applicant company (certificate of conformity No. РОССRU.ME96.H00184, Automotive Security Systems catalog, Moscow, Altonika LLC , 2003, p.16).

The first 2, second 4 and third 6 Bluetooth modules are well-known means of wireless communication - standard microchips with a relatively low data transfer rate (just over 700 kbit / s) and a range depending on the device class: "class 3" - 10 m, “class 2” - 20 m and “class 1” - 100 m (for example, the publication of Ksenin A. “Practice: creating a home network without wires” dated 10/07/2004 on the website www.soom.cnews.ru).

It is known that the first trial version of the Bluetooth standard was released in 1999 under the name Bluetooth 1.0. In the same year, Ericsson produced the first set of wireless communications with a GSM cell phone in the form of a miniature headset containing a headphone and microphone. In 2000, the Bluetooth 1.1 standard was published, and on its basis in early 2002, the high-speed standard Bluetooth, registered by the international chamber of IEEE-SA standards as IEEE 802.15.1, appeared.

Bluetooth specifications provide for the work in the range of 2400-2483.5 MHz, free of licensing. Low-power devices operating at a distance of up to 10 m ("class 3") can be purchased and used completely freely. The first GSM phones with built-in Bluetooth module were Ericsson T365, Ericsson R520, Ericsson S42, Nokia 6310. Currently, the fleet of GSM phone models with built-in Bluetooth module has expanded significantly.

GPS module 5 with an integrated third Bluetooth module 6 is also well known in the commercial market. So, in 2004, the American company Mobile Crossing demonstrated a model of a twelve-channel GPS module that supports the Bluetooth 1.1 protocol, with a range of up to 5 m. This device has dimensions of no more than 3.54 × 1.97 × 0.63 inches, just one a control (switch) on the case, three color LED status indicators and a low battery indicator. The built-in lithium-ion battery allows the specified GPS module 5 to work autonomously for at least eight hours.

With panic buttons 3 (produced for radio channel security systems, for example, for the aforementioned radio channel security system Rif Ring-701), the OSA-24 Bluetooth module, commercially available by the applicant company, has dimensions of not more than 30 × 19 × 5 mm, range up to 30 m and a data transfer rate of up to 115.2 Kbps (Advertising materials of the applicant company on the website www.altonika.ru). The OSA family of Bluetooth modules can be easily integrated into any other electronic device that has an interface that supports Bluetooth technology. At the same time, they can be installed both in one housing with this electronic device (built-in version), or used as a separate unit connected to the electronic device using a cable (stand-alone version).

Thus, all components of the wearable apparatus shown in FIG. 1 are currently fully represented in the commercial market.

As for the equipment of 12 providers, it is typical for providers of standard cellular mobile networks with licenses for the provision of data services and telematic services (for example, V. Grigoriev, “Organization of activities in the field of radio communications”, Moscow, “ECO- TRENDZ ", 2001). The functionality of this equipment allows, in particular, to roughly determine the location of the subscriber - by the cell number from which the alarm notification arrived.

Various options for building a control center 13 are described in patents RU No. 2155684, 60 R 25/00, G 08 B 25/10, RU No. 2174923, 60 R 25/00, G 08 B 25/10, RU No. 2201363, B 60 R 25/00, G 08 B 25/08, RU No. 2216463, 60 R 25/00, G 08 B 13/00 and in a number of other patents previously obtained by the applicant company.

The structure of the simplest control center 13 (Fig. 2) may include, for example, the RS-200P monitoring station (Catalog "Radio channel security systems", Moscow, Altonika LLC, 2003), which is intended for use in systems centralized radio security of various real estate objects (trade pavilions, warehouses, garages, summer residences, etc.).

The monitoring station 14, which is part of the simplest control center 13, shown in figure 2, has a digital processor 15, a text LCD 16 (the RS-200P monitoring station includes a text LCD on two lines of sixteen characters each), relay 17 for controlling various external alarm devices (siren, dialer and other devices), a standard interface for communication with various expansion modules. The control center 13 also includes communication and data exchange equipment with response forces and means, for example, a conventional mobile phone.

In the dispatch center 13 with wider functional capabilities (Fig. 3), the block 18 for processing and displaying cartographic and semantic information is connected to the monitoring station 14 'via standard outputs (for example, RS-232). This connection allows you to specify the current location of the subscriber. As a rule, this is done using a geographic information system (GIS) by linking the subscriber’s coordinates obtained using the GPS module 5 to the local map or, when the subscriber is in the building, to the floor plan of this building. Electronic versions of the map-plan and floor plans of buildings indicated by subscribers are contained in the long-term memory of the block 18 for processing and display of cartographic and semantic information and are called from there by the corresponding requests of the monitoring station 14 '(as shown, for example, in patent descriptions RU No. 2201363, 60 R 25 / 00, G 08 B 25/08, RU No. 2216463, B 60 R 25/00, G 08 B 13/00).

Thus, all the functional units of the proposed system are well known and the possibility of their practical implementation in the framework of the proposed technical solution is not in doubt.

The considered alarm system and positioning works as follows.

A person who is a subscriber of the system has portable equipment with him in the following composition:

- subscriber device 1 with a built-in or stand-alone first Bluetooth module 2;

- panic button 3 with a second Bluetooth module 4;

- GPS module 5 with a third Bluetooth module 6.

At the same time, the subscriber device 1 includes a GSM phone 7 with an integrated or stand-alone (cable-connected) first Bluetooth module 2. An autonomous option for using the first Bluetooth module 2 is more preferable from the point of view of the problem to be solved, since it gives the subscriber greater freedom select the model of GSM-phone 7. In the smallest possible configuration of wearable equipment, the subscriber only has an alarm button 3 with a second Bluetooth module 4 and a GSM phone 7 with a built-in or stand-alone first Bluetooth module 2. In extreme conditions, tending to make for example a surprise attack thief in the entrance of the building, pressing (secretive) single mechanical button on the alarm button body 3, a subscriber system via a second Bluetooth-module 4 emits an alarm ether. An alarm can also be generated without any sudden action that directly threatens the life or health of the subscriber. An example of such an event is the loss of a dog, which must be urgently found. Any alarm is received by the first Bluetooth module 2, which activates the GSM phone 7 to transmit an alarm. The specified activation of the GSM phone 7 is effected by the alarm notification received by the first Bluetooth module 2 on the microprocessor 8 of the GSM phone 7 connected to the transceiver module 9, which sends an alarm notification over the air via a standard communication and data network.

The microprocessor 8 stores a pre-dialed subscriber using the interface 10 and monitored on the display screen 11 the telephone number of the equipment 12 provider. In addition, the microprocessor 8 stores a pre-programmed SMS message corresponding to the alarm notification received from the panic button 3, for example, LOAD. The text of the alarm notification can be typed and transmitted to the microprocessor 8 also immediately before the alarm, for example, the DOG has disappeared. After receiving an alarm notification from the first Bluetooth module 2, the microprocessor 8 transmits from its memory the text of the SMS message to the transceiver module 9, which sends an alarm notification via a standard communication network and data transmission to a predetermined phone number of the provider equipment 12.

After receiving the alarm notification, the provider equipment 12 automatically identifies the subscriber by the telephone number received in the alarm notification. Then, the provider equipment 12 sends the received SMS message to the addresses specified by the subscriber - to the cell phones of individuals (for example, relatives or close friends of the subscriber who sent the alarm message) and / or transmits this message to one or more control centers 13. If the subscriber has portable equipment in the smallest possible configuration (panic button 3 and GSM-phone 7), then in the alarm notification there is no coordinate data, for which the input must be included in the composition of the portable equipment be GPS-module 5. Coordinate data alerting may not be available in the case where the GPS-module 5 obscure any above-ground structures. The provider equipment 12 detects the absence of coordinate data in the alarm notification and supplements the alarm notification with “coarse coordinates” of the subscriber’s location (by the cell number of the standard communication and data transmission network through which the specified alarm notification was received).

An option is also possible for direct (that is, without the participation of the equipment of the provider 12) sending SMS messages to 7 phone numbers of system users registered in the GSM phone — to individuals and / or to dispatch centers 13. However, in this case, if the subscriber does not have GPS module 5, the system loses the ability to at least roughly determine the location of the subscriber, since the operators of standard cellular mobile networks do not provide such a service.

In principle, an alarm notification can be transmitted not only by means of an SMS message, but also via a voice channel with an audio signal or in the form of a voice message. The alarm channel is transmitted through the voice channel in almost real time (there are difficult to predict delays when sending SMS messages) and is much more reliable. However, the ability to support a voice channel is not provided by all models of GSM phones 7, while SMS messages are supported by almost all modern models of mobile GSM phones 7.

In the dispatch center 13, an alarm message arrives at the monitoring station 14 (figure 2) or 14 '(figure 3), which goes from standby mode to the ALARM state. The processor 15 generates a corresponding message, which is sent to the text LCD 16. For example, the subscriber’s GSM phone number 7 and the type of alarm can be displayed, which allows the operator to quickly respond to a subscriber security risk. At the same time, the corresponding command is sent to the relay 17, which activates external alarm devices, such as light and / or sound indicators. If the SMS message was received not by the dispatch center 13, but by an individual, then in fact the role of the monitoring station 14 is played by his cell phone (this option is not shown in the drawings).

For high-precision location of the subscriber, the latter should have, along with the panic button 3 and GSM-phone 7, also a GPS-module 5 with a third Bluetooth-module 6, and the control center 13 should be performed in accordance with the scheme shown in FIG. .3. That is, the dispatch center 13 should contain a monitoring station 14 'and a block 18 for processing and displaying cartographic and semantic information that implements GIS technology. The operator of the dispatch center 13 does not interact with the monitoring station 14 ', but with the indicated unit 18 for processing and displaying cartographic and semantic information. The display of the location of the subscriber is carried out on the screen of the monitor, which is part of the block 18 for processing and displaying cartographic and semantic information, against the background of an electronic map of the area (or against the background of the electronic floor plan of the building in which the subscriber is located).

This is done using GIS technology. For example, commercial MapInfo software product or its modifications can be used. The choice of a specific GIS technology is not essential for the present invention. In any case, the processing result will be a visual representation of the subscriber’s location mark on the monitor screen against the background of the plan map of the served area, or against the floor plan of the building in which the subscriber is currently located. The indicated mark is accompanied by identifying reference text information (for example, the subscriber’s identification data, the coordinates of the subscriber, an indication of the nature of the alarm, etc.).

After identifying the subscriber and establishing his location by the operator of the dispatch center 13 (or any other interested person), urgent measures must be taken to counter the threat to the security of the subscriber. For this, it is necessary to turn to the appropriate response forces and means and interact with them in the process of eliminating this threat. Consideration of the process of this interaction and its possible options is beyond the scope of the present invention.

The operator of the dispatch center 13 may itself initiate subscriber request signals. For this, the operator of the dispatch center 13, being in a constant state of communication with the equipment 12 of the provider, can send the text of the SMS message with the request to the subscriber to the equipment 12 of the provider. For example, the operator of the dispatch center 13 may ask the subscriber to indicate their exact location (text such as MESSAGE LOCATION). The provider equipment 12 generates an appropriate SMS message and sends it over a standard communication and data network to a subscriber’s GSM phone 7. In the GSM phone 7, this SMS message is received by the transceiver module 9 and transmitted to the microprocessor 8. The microprocessor 8 acts on the interface 10, including the light and sound signaling of the call, and on the display 11, forming the corresponding text message.

The receipt of such an SMS message serves as a sign for the subscriber that he should give a response message to the dispatch center 13, indicating his current location (for example, that he is on the seventh floor of the building with coordinates corresponding to the data received from GPS module 5). In turn, the operator of the dispatch center 13 either clarifies the current location of the subscriber taking into account his response message (by making appropriate changes to the help text information), or if there are no answers to several of his messages like COMMUNICATE LOCATION, he contacts the response forces and means to organize a subscriber search.

Thus, combining the above-described functional elements into a single system allows us to solve the problem, namely, to create an alarm and location system that allows the subscriber to use for the transmission of alarm notifications and data about his location the usual GSM-phone model 7. Moreover the subscriber can carry out the transmission of emergency alerts by pressing a single mechanical button on the body of the panic button 3 without removing the panic button 3 out of pocket. The GSM phone 7 can be located anywhere (in a bag, in a jacket pocket, etc.), but within the range of the used Bluetooth channel. This can play a decisive role in an extreme situation, for example, in case of a sudden attack on a subscriber in the entrance, on the street, in the elevator.

The technical result achieved is achieved through the implementation of wireless communication between autonomously operating nodes: a GSM phone 7, panic button 3 and GPS module 5 using the first 2, second 4 and third 6 Bluetooth modules built into them (or autonomous), respectively.
