CA 2462524

A security pack (20) for assisting in the recovery of stolen monies includes a housing (24) disguised as a bundle of currency bills but containing a GPS receiver (40) for receiving GPS signals from overhead satellites, a cellular phone transmitter (44), a microprocessor (46), and a battery (50). Following a bank robbery, the microprocessor activates the cellular phone transmitter to dial the telephone number of a central monitoring station. The microprocessor obtains location data from the GPS receiver and transmits the location data, along with identification information, to the central monitoring station. The security pack may also include a separate conventional RF beacon transmitter (56) for allowing authorities to home-in on the security pack within a large building or other structure, either after the GPS signals are lost, or after the location of the security pack is localized to a specific building or area.

Cette invention a trait à un dispositif de sécurité (20) contribuant au recouvrement de sommes d'argent volées, lequel dispositif comporte un boîtier (24) se présentant sous l'aspect d'une liasse de billets mais contenant un récepteur GPS (40), recevant des signaux GPS émanant de satellites, un émetteur radiotéléphonique cellulaire (44), un microprocesseur (46) et des accumulateurs (50). Suite au braquage d'une banque, le microprocesseur active l'émetteur radiotéléphonique cellulaire afin de composer le numéro de téléphone d'une station de surveillance centrale. Ce microprocesseur acquiert des données de localisation émanant du récepteur GPS et les transmet, accompagnées d'une information d'identification, à cette station de surveillance centrale. Le dispositif de sécurité peut également comporter un émetteur, séparé, classique, de radiobalisage à radiofréquence (56) permettant aux autorités responsables d'avoir accès au dispositif de sécurité, même dans un grand bâtiment ou tout autre structure, soit après avoir perdu les signaux GPS, soit à la suite de la localisation du dispositif dans un immeuble ou un secteur particulier.
