`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`The present
`
`invention pertains to a control,
`
`monitoring and/or security apparatus and method and,
`
`in
`
`particular,
`
`to a control, monitoring, and/or security,
`
`apparatus and method for exercising and/or providing
`
`control, monitoring and/or security,
`
`for vehicles, motor
`
`vehicies, marine vessels and vehicles, aircraft,
`
`recreational vehicles, residential premises; commercial
`
`premises, structures and/or equipment,
`
`in a network
`
`environment.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`Anti-theft devices for vehicles and premises are
`
`known in the prior art for preventing and/or thwarting the
`
`theft of a vehicle and/or of a premises. Vehicle recovery
`
`devices or systems are also known for recovering a motor
`
`vehicle.
`
`These known anti-theft and/or vehicle recovery

`
`devices may be of the active or passive variety and are
`
`typically available in many forms (i.e. steering wheel
`
`locks, hood locks,
`
`ignition system cut-off devices, alarms,
`
`vehicle homing devices with associated receiving devices,
`
`ete.).
`
`In some cases,
`
`these devices may be of a very simple
`
`design, while in other cases,
`
`they may be of a more
`
`sophisticated design. However, as is well known,
`
`these
`
`known anti-theft and/or vehicle recovery devices or systems
`
`may be easily defeated by thieves, and especially, by
`
`professional thieves and/or have other disadvantages
`
`associated with their use. Experience has shown that even
`
`the most sophisticated of anti-theft devices may be defeated
`
`by an experienced, and determined,
`
`thief, and that vehicle
`
`recovery systems also have drawbacks associated with their
`
`use.
`
`In the case of some vehicle recovery devices,
`
`their use may be limited by the availability, or lack
`
`thereof, of the corresponding tracker or receiver device(s)
`
`in the particular locality, or the lack of same by the law
`
`enforcement department
`
`in a@ particular area.
`
`In recent
`
`times, an even more disturbing criminal
`
`practice,
`
`involving the theft of motor vehicles, has
`
`rendered most anti-theft devices virtually useless. This

`
`eriminal practice, known as car-jacking, has gained
`
`widespread attention. Car-jacking usually occurs when
`
`thief or thieves confront a motorist or motor vehicle
`
`operator, when the motor vehicle engine is running, or
`
`when
`
`the car thief obtains easy access to the motor vehicle
`
`ignition keys and to the motor vehicle, either by force or
`
`by the threat of force,
`
`thereby bypassing, and rendering
`
`useless, any of the widely known anti-theft and/or theft-
`
`deterrent devices,
`
`thereby gaining control and/or possession
`
`of the motor vehicle.
`
`In these instances,
`
`the motorist or
`
`motor vehicle operator is well advised to surrender the
`
`motor vehicle. However, once surrendered,
`
`the motor vehicle
`
`is virtually lost to the car thief,
`
`Anti-theft and/or theft-deterrent devices which
`
`attempt to defeat
`
`the ultimate vehicle theft, such as caused
`
`by car-jacking, by disabling the motor vehicle during the
`
`"getaway",
`
`such as by shutting off power to the motor
`
`vehicle engine, have major disadvantages and drawbacks
`
`in
`
`that they could shut-off the vehicle engine at an
`
`inopportune instant
`
`in time,
`
`thereby causing a dangerous
`
`condition to exist which could lead to an accident and
`
`resulting injuries to individuals as well as damage to
`
`property.
`
`These accidents may arise when the motor vehicle
`
`power is suddenly shut-off while the vehicle is in motion,

`
`which condition could cause the vehicle to suddenly, or even
`
`gradually,
`
`lose power on a roadway or highway, while
`
`traveling at a moderate or at a high rate of speed and/or
`
`when a power steering and/or a power braking system, which
`
`derives its power from the vehicle engine, suddenly loses
`
`Power upon the loss of the engine power.
`
`As noted above,
`
`accidents such as these may result in injuries to people,
`
`both inside and outside the vehicle, as well as property
`
`damage caused by, and to,
`
`the vehicle.
`
`The above described disadvantages and drawbacks of
`
`the prior art devices may also pose accident liability
`
`concerns to those manufacturers and/or sellérs of these
`
`devices, as well as to the owner or operator of the motor
`
`vehicle, as these entities and/or individuals may be held
`
`liable for the injuries and/or the damages sustained as a
`
`result of the above described accidents.
`
`Vehicle recovery systems are known which include a
`
`vehicle homing device, which is activated and which emits
`
`homing signals which are used to home in on, or to locate,
`
`the vehicle. These vehicle recovery systems usually require
`
`that
`
`the law enforcement agency have corresponding homing
`
`Signal receivers and/or equipment and that they be kept
`
`in
`
`operating condition,
`
`in order to effectively home in on, or
`
`ty

`
`locate,
`
`the vehicle. Unless the local police or law
`
`enforcement authorities have such equipment,
`
`the homing
`
`Signal recovery device serves little purpose in recovering
`
`the vehicle in that
`
`locale.
`
`Other vehicle recovery systems require that a
`
`police report be made prior to an activation of the homing
`
`and/or recovery equipment, which practice could result
`
`in
`
`the loss of valuable time in the vehicle recovery process.
`
`The above problems concerning vehicle security are equally
`
`applicable to and present an equal or even greater problem
`
`in providing security for marine vessels and vehicles,
`
`aircraft and/or recreational vehicles,
`
`Providing security for residential premises,
`
`commercial premises, structures, and/or equipment,
