Abstract
A cellular mobile radiotelephone (CMR 12) which detects and reports security breach conditions is disclosed. The CMR (12) includes a remotely programmable unit (RPU 48) in which alarm parameter data (1200) may be recorded from a remote programming (RP) host (22). An input (54) may be adapted to receive a vehicle alarm system (26) output. When the alarm system activates, a Mode 1 Alarm procedure (1700) is performed. If the alarm indication is deemed genuine, the CMR (12) automatically places a call to a security service (28). When a vehicle ignition signal (52) has just turned 'on', a Mode 2 Alarm procedure (1800) is performed. A user is given a period of time, which is established remotely (1214), to enter a disarming code. If the disarming code is not entered in time, a genuine alarm event is assumed, and the CMR (12) places a call to the security service (28). In placing calls to the security service (28), numerous alarm parameters are established remotely. Thus, multiple call attempts to multiple telephone numbers (1216-1218), repeat call attempts for multiple iterations (1220), delays between call attempts (1222), diverse data formats (1224-1226), and multiple security breach reporting intervals (1228) are programmed remotely as needed to achieve a desired level of security protection.
