Patent ID: RE44102

Claim:
An indexed database alarm and monitor system , for assigning each unit of a multiple unit system, from a position labeled index of pre-selected designations and or descriptions of use by a voice-playback and reporting, by an audible fixed pattern alarm followed by said voice-playback of a first detecting units assigned designation and or description of use by said each unit in the system; each said unit consisting of the following components, a fire smoke sensor, an alarm IC with piezo horn output and detection I/O, a multiple position encoder, a 8-bit dip switch, a radio frequency decoder transmitter and a receiver encoder, an antenna switch and an antenna, a voice-playback device with speaker, and a microcontroller all housed within one unit; a complete system being comprised of a plurality of said units, equal to the number of positions, on the multiple position encoder; wherein said multiple position encoder has said index of labeled positions and outputs a different 4-bit binary coded decimal at each said labeled position to be used as a database index, wherein said voice-playback device contains indexed pre-recorded voice segments with 8-bit starting addresses , as a database; wherein said labeled positions relate to the indexed pre-recorded voice segments, and the multiple position encoders, output at each labeled position is used as the index into the voice segment database, being mapped one-to-one into the said 8-bit starting address of a voice segment; wherein said radio frequency decoder transmitter of said first detecting unit decodes and transmits a 12-bit signal, consisting of an 8-bit system ID from the 8-bit dip switch, and the 4-bit database index from the its said multiple position encoder, the wherein said radio frequency receiver encoder validates encoders of all other units validate the transmitted 8-bit system ID and outputs apply the transmitted 4-bit database index to their said voice-playback devices ; said antenna switch and said antenna default to the radio frequency receiver encoder unless fire smoke sensor detects smoke, if smoke detected said antenna switch is enabled and said antenna is applied to the decoder transmitter; said microcontroller is used as a state machine and is interrupt driven with 3 -states initialization, monitor and interrupt, only two interrupts are allowed interrupt 1 -local, said fire smoke sensor detects smoke, and interrupt 2 -remote, said receiver encoder validates transmission of matching said 8-bit system ID.
