Patent number: 6694258Abstract: A car locator system includes a hand held locator which receives information with regard to the location of a vehicle and then stores that information for display on the hand held locator. The hand held locator could be a key fob having buttons to command operation to the vehicle. When a command signal is transmitted to the vehicle, the vehicle then transmits its position location to the hand held location for storage. In this way, an operator will be able to have an indication of the location of the vehicle. The vehicle can communicate with GPS satellites to determine its location, or may communicate with ground based local transmitters. The ground based local transmitters can be programmed to provide an indication of the location of the vehicle within a parking lot.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2001Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Siemens VDO Automotive CorporationInventors: Susan Johnson, Tejas Desai

Patent number: 6545629Abstract: A key fob for signaling a receiver on a vehicle includes a housing and a transmitter capable of transmitting multiple signals. The signals actuate multiple vehicle devices on the vehicle. Switches to control the signals include at least one dome protruding through the housing for initiating transmission of a signal. The dome includes a first element depressable for initiating a first signal and a second element depressable independently of the first element for initiating a second signal different from the first signal. The first element protrudes from the housing to a different height than the second element. Thus, the elements can be easily actuated separately from each other.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2000Date of Patent: April 8, 2003Assignee: Siemens VDO Automotive CorporationInventors: Susan Johnson, Iejas Desai, Debbie Lambert, Jonathan Clark, Jeralyn Reese

Patent number: 6518882Abstract: An improved key fob and key combination allows the mechanical key to be removed from the key fob and given to a valet attendant. The key is provided with a mechanical latch which may be easily removed from the key fob. When the key is removed, secured areas on the vehicle are locked. Moreover, the vehicle has limited operation when the mechanical key is not received with the key fob. In a second feature of this invention, a locator function on the key fob provides an indication of an approximate direction to a vehicle in a parking area. The key fob relies upon RF transmissions from the vehicle to determine an approximate direction to the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2001Date of Patent: February 11, 2003Assignee: Siemens VDO Automotive CorporationInventors: Susan Johnson, Tejas Desai, Deborah Marie Lambert, Jonathan Clark, Jeralyn Reese
