Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the prevention and alerting of the tampering or unwarranted opening of cases, including but not exclusively suitcases and briefcases.
  • This invention relates generally to tamper-indicating devices, and more particularly to an improved device for use with personal baggage or luggage used by travelers. Monitoring the opening and closing of a secure container such as a suitcase is useful in determining whether the security of the container has been violated or compromised.
  • the present invention relates to an assembly which detects opening and closing of a suitcase, briefcase or container and provides an alert of such events which is transmitted to the owner via a Bluetooth method hidden inside the said case or container.
  • the assembly includes a twin switch strip connected within the container. Opening and closing of the container parts the two strips which are mounted to either side of the two opening sections of the case. When these strips are separated they alert the device which then submits a delivery signal via Bluetooth to a nearby located hand held device such as a smart phone or tablet owned by the user. This alert can be noted as a live event or recorded onto the device for perusal at a later time.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,343,819 to S. Shiozaki shows a security tag or seal of molded plastic material that is capable of being threaded through eyelets or holes then sealed; and carries a two part identification card bearing the same serial number on each part. One part is removed after the tag is applied and serves as a receipt or identification of ownership. While the device would be quite effective on soft-sided luggage it isn't applicable to hard-sided luggage. In addition, since it is made of molded plastic, it would be very costly; especially since adding the unique serial number to it would most likely require a secondary manufacturing operation.
  • Patent Application U.S. 2002/0038744 Al filed Sep. 24, 2001 by I. Sukoff and published Apr. 4, 2002 also shows a device that appears to look like a standard cable tie with an attached "flag" to which some indica could be included. Here again, the device would only be applicable to soft-sided bags as there is no way it could be used to seal a hard-sided bag.
  • Patent Applications U.S. 2003/0201893 Al filed Apr. 24, 2003 by L. Redburn and K. F. Florek (Published Oct. 30, 2003) and U.S. 2004/0164564 Al filed Feb. 17, 2004 (Published Aug. 26, 2004) reveal a Security Fastener and Method of Securing Luggage based on using an I.D.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,667,091 to E. De Lima Castro Netto shows a device which is very similar to standard cable tie in appearance and usage. It also has a unique feature to incorporate a strip of paper with unique indica. The paper is fed through the mold as the tie is being made using a special molding technique. This device is only applicable to soft sided luggage and the manufacturing process requires the creation of the paper strip before molding the tie.
  • Tamper seal (marketed through tamperseal.com), Magellan's new Luggage Seal (which is based on the cable tie approach), Hellermanntyton Tyton Co's. Travel Ties (which are essentially colored standard cable ties), ITVV's Tamper Evident Luggage Seals ( These too are essentially cable ties) and CCTV which makes a wide variety of cable tie like devices. All of these have one thing in common, they are only applicable to luggage using side fasteners or zippers; they cannot be used with hard-sided bags and all require the passenger to record all the serial numbers ( when they have them ) to be sure that they haven't been replaced.
  • Nanoseal is an electronic device which will record the each time a bag is opened, both the date and time of the day and the time of the intrusion. It is supposed to good for 1000 seals. However, an intrusion wouldn't necessarily be evident until you opened the bag; for it is placed in the bag and it has a very high price tag.
  • the present invention aims to provide a method by which a device is able to alert them directly to their hand held device, such as an iPhone or iPad and computer either as a live alert of a stored event for them to view at a later time.
  • a device which can detect when two seal strips are parted and then sends a Bluetooth signal to a user to inform them that the case or container has been opened. Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a tamper-alert device for detecting opening and closing events of a secure case or container.
  • the device includes a pair of magnetic adhesive strips or parts having a first portion connected to the area close to the edge of one opening side of a case or container.
  • the second corresponding magnetic strip or part being opposite and close the first but located to the second opening side of the case.
  • To the second strip or part is a small linked transmitter for Bluetooth.
  • a microcontroller then permits the change in the connection of the magnetic strips to be sent as a Bluetooth signal to a hand held device within the vicinity.
  • the owner of the case or container is then sent an alert message to inform them that the case or container was opened at what time and for what period.
  • the device may be used and applied to any situation where two opening surfaces would require monitoring. For example; if a laptop has sensitive information on it and is closed and sealed during transit or storage. The strips may be applied to the edge, as with the cases.
  • Figures 1 show a case tamper alert device located inside a suitcase and transmitting to a hand held device;
  • Figures 2 show a close view of the opening of a case with the device located therein;
  • Figures 3 show a working flow table of the devices operative stages;
  • Figures 4 show the device located to the side of a flight case container;
  • Figures 5 show the device located to a brief case.
  • FIG. 1 A typical embodiment of the invention is illustrated in Figure 1 and comprise a device 1 which is self-adhesive and located inside a suitcase or other container 2.
  • the device 1 communicates remotely with the hand held device 3 via Bluetooth.
  • Figure 2 shows the device 1 A self-adhesive strips which are magnetic and are placed opposite each other on each side of the two opening sections 5 and 6 of a suitcase or other container 2A.
  • the sides 5 and 6 separate and the magnetic field is broken between 1 A. This is noted by the processor and Bluetooth sender device 4, which is battery powered.
  • the processor and Bluetooth sender 4 then sends an alert message to the hand held device 3A, such as a smart phone or other suitable type with Bluetooth facilities built in.
  • the hand held device 3A such as a smart phone or other suitable type with Bluetooth facilities built in.
  • the magnetic strips 1 A re-join opposite each other and the magnetic switch resets and primes the system again.
  • the case is initially closed when the person packs or fills the case and the system is primed. The following stages are shown in Figure 3.
  • the case is closed and the magnetic strips and switch are primed.
  • the case is then opened and the magnetic strips are separated and thus the magnetic switch is turned to the on position.
  • the user receives the message via their hand held device such as the smart phone or PC / tablet.
  • This alert may include additional information such as the time the case was opened, period of opening, for example.
  • the magnetic strip device may be applied to other locations around the rim of the case where the two opening edges meet, as shown in Figures 4 and 5.
  • This information may of course be received and checked live or may be checked after the journey period, as the message from the device 1 and 4 will always be stored on their device.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une alerte de manipulation non autorisée de valise ou mallette 2 par Bluetooth, un dispositif 1 étant en outre obtenu sous forme de deux bandes autoadhésives 1A qui sont magnétiques. Une desdites bandes est reliée à un processeur alimenté par batterie et une unité d'émetteur Bluetooth 4, ces derniers sont placés dans la valise choisie près du bord des deux sections d'ouverture 5 et 6 de telle sorte que, à mesure que la valise 2 est fermée, les deux bandes magnétiques sont placées ensemble et un champ magnétique est formé, ce qui amorce le dispositif. À mesure que la valise est ouverte, les deux bandes magnétiques se séparent, ce qui rompt le champ et allume le commutateur magnétique, ce qui avertit le processeur qui amène l'émetteur Bluetooth 4 à envoyer un message à l'utilisateur et son appareil portatif 3 selon lequel la valise a été ouverte ou altérée. Ce message peut inclure l'instant et la période d'ouverture comme exemple de deux d'un nombre de détails de message illimités.
