`
`®) A microprocessor monitors vehicle/personal po-
`sition by way of coordinates obtained frorn Navstar
`Global Positioning System. Upon activation, through
`sensing unauthorized access to a vehicle or a
`change in its position, the microprocessor identifies
`itseif to a central dispatch office and alerts the same
`to the nature of the disturbance. The system periodi-
`cally updates vehicle location by way of digital sig-
`nals sent to the central dispatch station by way of a
`cellular mobile telephone system. The central dis-
`patch office can interrogate the microprocessor via
`the telephone link by addressing its unique serial
`number in order to obtain its position should the
`vehicle be stolen without activation of the micro-
`processor. A plurality of logic inputs and outputs are
`opprovided for accommodating conventional anti-van-
`€{dalism and anti-theft detectors which may be in-
`tegrated into the total protection system.
