Definitions
- This invention relates to consumer displays and, more particularly, to a modular touchscreen display platform that enables dynamic reconfiguration of the touchscreen with modules to provide different functionality depending on current needs of the user.
- LCD liquid crystal display
- Conventional consumer touchscreens are generally designed for either single task applications (e.g. picture frame) or for multi-task applications supported by a pre-determined and fixed hardware capability. For example, if the touchscreen installed in a home was configured for a first type of use, and the touchscreen was subsequently required to perform a different type of use, then a new touchscreen would be required having a different hardware function (e.g. directly manage a heating and air-conditioning system or a security panel) that supported the different use type. Consequently, the conventional touchscreens offer an inflexible architecture for supporting new applications as user needs change over time. Also, the conventional touchscreens make it relatively expensive to deploy new features due to the hardware inflexibility. Furthermore, the conventional touchscreens make it difficult for manufacturers or sellers of the touchscreens to address new applications and market trends because of the time required to redesign a touchscreen to support new features.

- a modular touchscreen platform is described that enables dynamic reconfiguration of the touchscreen for different functions or functionality.
- the touchscreen platform of an embodiment includes the touchscreen display and one or more plug-in modules that each enable different functions in the touchscreen platform.
- the modules therefore provide different functionality through the touchscreen depending on current needs of the user.
- the touchscreen platform can be used as an in-home consumer touchscreen with uses including, for example, home management, including energy management, security, surveillance, health monitoring, elder care and other consumer applications, to name a few.
- an integrated security system that integrates broadband and mobile access and control with conventional security systems and premise devices to provide a tri-mode security network (broadband, cellular/GSM, POTS access) that enables users to remotely stay connected to their premises.
- the integrated security system while delivering remote premise monitoring and control functionality to conventional monitored premise protection, complements existing premise protection equipment.
- the integrated security system integrates into the premise network and couples wirelessly with the conventional security panel, enabling broadband access to premise security systems.
- Automation devices (cameras, lamp modules, thermostats, etc.) can be added, enabling users to remotely see live video and/or pictures and control home devices via their personal web portal or webpage, mobile phone, and/or other remote client device. Users can also receive notifications via email or text message when happenings occur, or do not occur, in their home.
- a wireless system e.g., radio frequency (RF)
- RF radio frequency
- the system includes an RF-capable Gateway device (physically located within RF range of the RE-capable security system) and associated software operating on the Gateway device.
- the system also includes a web server, application server, and remote database providing a persistent store for information related to the system.
- the security systems of an embodiment extend the value of traditional home security by adding broadband access and the advantages of remote home monitoring and home control through the formation of a security network including components of the integrated security system integrated with a conventional premise security system and a premise local area network (LAN).
- LAN local area network
- conventional home security sensors, cameras, touchscreen keypads, lighting controls, and/or Internet Protocol (IP) devices in the home (or business) become connected devices that are accessible anywhere in the world from a web browser, mobile phone or through content-enabled touchscreens.
- IP Internet Protocol
- the integrated security system experience allows security operators to both extend the value proposition of their monitored security systems and reach new consumers that include broadband users interested in staying connected to their family, home and property when they are away from home.
- the integrated security system of an embodiment includes security servers (also referred to herein as iConnect servers or security network servers) and an iHub gateway (also referred to herein as the gateway, the iHub, or the iHub client) that couples or integrates into a home network (e.g., LAN) and communicates directly with the home security panel, in both wired and wireless installations.
- the security system of an embodiment automatically discovers the security system components (e.g., sensors, etc.) belonging to the security system and connected to a control panel of the security system and provides consumers with full two-way access via web and mobile portals.
- the gateway supports various wireless protocols and can interconnect with a wide range of control panels offered by security system providers.
- IP cameras IP cameras
- security devices such as interactive touchscreen keypads.
- the integrated security system adds an enhanced value to these security systems by enabling consumers to stay connected through email and SMS alerts, photo push, event-based video capture and rule-based monitoring and notifications. This solution extends the reach of home security to households with broadband access.
- the integrated security system builds upon the foundation afforded by traditional security systems by layering broadband and mobile access, IP cameras, interactive touchscreens, and an open approach to home automation on top of traditional security system configurations.
- the integrated security system is easily installed and managed by the security operator, and simplifies the traditional security installation process, as described below.
- the integrated security system provides an open systems solution to the home security market.
- CPE customer premises equipment
- the integrated security system DeviceConnect technology that enables this capability supports protocols, devices, and panels from GE Security and Honeywell, as well as consumer devices using Z-Wave, IP cameras (e.g., Ethernet, wifi, and Homeplug), and IP touchscreens.
- the DeviceConnect is a device abstraction layer that enables any device or protocol layer to interoperate with integrated security system components. This architecture enables the addition of new devices supporting any of these interfaces, as well as add entirely new protocols.
- DeviceConnect provides supplier flexibility.
- the same consistent touchscreen, web, and mobile user experience operate unchanged on whatever security equipment selected by a security system provider, with the system provider's choice of IP cameras, backend data center and central station software.
- the integrated security system provides a complete system that integrates or layers on top of a conventional host security system available from a security system provider.
- the security system provider therefore can select different components or configurations to offer (e.g., CDMA, GPRS, no cellular, etc.) as well as have iControl modify the integrated security system configuration for the system provider's specific needs (e.g., change the functionality of the web or mobile portal, add a GE or Honeywell-compatible TouchScreen, etc.).
- the integrated security system integrates with the security system provider infrastructure for central station reporting directly via Broadband and GPRS alarm transmissions. Traditional dial-up reporting is supported via the standard panel connectivity. Additionally, the integrated security system provides interfaces for advanced functionality to the CMS, including enhanced alarm events, system installation optimizations, system test verification, video verification, 2-way voice over IP and GSM.
- the integrated security system is an IP centric system that includes broadband connectivity so that the gateway augments the existing security system with broadband and GPRS connectivity. If broadband is down or unavailable GPRS may be used, for example.
- the integrated security system supports GPRS connectivity using an optional wireless package that includes a GPRS modem in the gateway.
- the integrated security system treats the GPRS connection as a higher cost though flexible option for data transfers. In an embodiment the GPRS connection is only used to route alarm events (e.g., for cost), however the gateway can be configured (e.g., through the iConnect server interface) to act as a primary channel and pass any or all events over GPRS. Consequently, the integrated security system does not interfere with the current plain old telephone service (POTS) security panel interface.
- POTS plain old telephone service
- the integrated security system provides a web application interface to the CSR tool suite as well as XML web services interfaces for programmatic integration between the security system provider's existing call center products.
- the integrated security system includes, for example, APIs that allow the security system provider to integrate components of the integrated security system into a custom call center interface.
- the APIs include XML web service APIs for integration of existing security system provider call center applications with the integrated security system service. All functionality available in the CSR Web application is provided with these API sets.
- the Java and XML-based APIs of the integrated security system support provisioning, billing, system administration, CSR, central station, portal user interfaces, and content management functions, to name a few.
- the integrated security system can provide a customized interface to the security system provider's billing system, or alternatively can provide security system developers with APIs and support in the integration effort.
- the integrated security system provides or includes business component interfaces for provisioning, administration, and customer care to name a few. Standard templates and examples are provided with a defined customer professional services engagement to help integrate OSS/BSS systems of a Service Provider with the integrated security system.
- the integrated security system components support and allow for the integration of customer account creation and deletion with a security system.
- the iConnect APIs provides access to the provisioning and account management system in iConnect and provide full support for account creation, provisioning, and deletion. Depending on the requirements of the security system provider, the iConnect APIs can be used to completely customize any aspect of the integrated security system backend operational system.
- the integrated security system includes a gateway that supports the following standards-based interfaces, to name a few: Ethernet IP communications via Ethernet ports on the gateway, and standard XML/TCP/IP protocols and ports are employed over secured SSL sessions; USB 2.0 via ports on the gateway; 802.11b/g/n IP communications; GSM/GPRS RF WAN communications; CDMA 1xRTT RF WAN communications (optional, can also support EVDO and 3G technologies).
- the gateway supports the following proprietary interfaces, to name a few: interfaces including Dialog RF network (319.5 MHz) and RS485 Superbus 2000 wired interface; RF mesh network (908 MHz); and interfaces including RF network (345 MHz) and RS485/RS232bus wired interfaces.
- the integrated security system uses SSL to encrypt all IP traffic, using server and client-certificates for authentication, as well as authentication in the data sent over the SSL-encrypted channel.
- SSL Secure Sockets Layer
- integrated security system issues public/private key pairs at the time/place of manufacture, and certificates are not stored in any online storage in an embodiment.
- the integrated security system does not need any special rules at the customer premise and/or at the security system provider central station because the integrated security system makes outgoing connections using TCP over the standard HTTP and HTTPS ports. Provided outbound TCP connections are allowed then no special requirements on the firewalls are necessary.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the integrated security system 100 , under an embodiment.
- the integrated security system 100 of an embodiment includes the gateway 102 and the security servers 104 coupled to the conventional home security system 110 .
- the gateway 102 connects and manages the diverse variety of home security and self-monitoring devices.
- the gateway 102 communicates with the iConnect Servers 104 located in the service provider's data center 106 (or hosted in integrated security system data center), with the communication taking place via a communication network 108 or other network (e.g., cellular network, internet, etc.).
- These servers 104 manage the system integrations necessary to deliver the integrated system service described herein.
- the combination of the gateway 102 and the iConnect servers 104 enable a wide variety of remote client devices 120 (e.g., PCs, mobile phones and PDAs) allowing users to remotely stay in touch with their home, business and family.
- remote client devices 120 e.g., PCs, mobile phones and PDAs
- the technology allows home security and self-monitoring information, as well as relevant third party content such as traffic and weather, to be presented in intuitive ways within the home, such as on advanced touchscreen keypads.
- the integrated security system service (also referred to as iControl service) can be managed by a service provider via browser-based Maintenance and Service Management applications that are provided with the iConnect Servers. Or, if desired, the service can be more tightly integrated with existing OSS/BSS and service delivery systems via the iConnect web services-based XML APIs.
- the integrated security system service can also coordinate the sending of alarms to the home security Central Monitoring Station (CMS) 199 .
- Alarms are passed to the CMS 199 using standard protocols such as Contact ID or SIA and can be generated from the home security panel location as well as by iConnect server 104 conditions (such as lack of communications with the integrated security system).
- the link between the security servers 104 and CMS 199 provides tighter integration between home security and self-monitoring devices and the gateway 102 . Such integration enables advanced security capabilities such as the ability for CMS personnel to view photos taken at the time a burglary alarm was triggered.
- the gateway 102 and iConnect servers 104 support the use of a mobile network (both GPRS and CDMA options are available) as a backup to the primary broadband connection.
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram of components of the integrated security system 100 , under an embodiment. Following is a more detailed description of the components.
- the iConnect servers 104 support a diverse collection of clients 120 ranging from mobile devices, to PCs, to in-home security devices, to a service provider's internal systems. Most clients 120 are used by end-users, but there are also a number of clients 120 that are used to operate the service.
- Clients 120 used by end-users of the integrated security system 100 include, but are not limited to, the following:
- the iConnect servers 104 support PC browser-based Service Management clients that manage the ongoing operation of the overall service. These clients run applications that handle tasks such as provisioning, service monitoring, customer support and reporting.
- server components of the iConnect servers 104 of an embodiment including, but not limited to, the following: Business Components which manage information about all of the home security and self-monitoring devices; End-User Application Components which display that information for users and access the Business Components via published XML APIs; and Service Management Application Components which enable operators to administer the service (these components also access the Business Components via the XML APIs, and also via published SNMP MIBs).
- the server components provide access to, and management of, the objects associated with an integrated security system installation.
- the top-level object is the “network.” It is a location where a gateway 102 is located, and is also commonly referred to as a site or premises; the premises can include any type of structure (e.g., home, office, warehouse, etc.) at which a gateway 102 is located. Users can only access the networks to which they have been granted permission.
- Every object monitored by the gateway 102 is called a device. Devices include the sensors, cameras, home security panels and automation devices, as well as the controller or processor-based device running the gateway applications.
- Automations define actions that occur as a result of a change in state of a device. For example, take a picture with the front entry camera when the front door sensor changes to “open”. Notifications are messages sent to users to indicate that something has occurred, such as the front door going to “open” state, or has not occurred (referred to as an iWatch notification). Schedules define changes in device states that are to take place at predefined days and times. For example, set the security panel to “Armed” mode every weeknight at 11:00 pm.
- the iConnect Business Components are responsible for orchestrating all of the low-level service management activities for the integrated security system service. They define all of the users and devices associated with a network (site), analyze how the devices interact, and trigger associated actions (such as sending notifications to users). All changes in device states are monitored and logged. The Business Components also manage all interactions with external systems as required, including sending alarms and other related self-monitoring data to the home security Central Monitoring System (CMS) 199 .
- CMS Central Monitoring System
- the Business Components are implemented as portable Java J2EE Servlets, but are not so limited.
- Additional iConnect Business Components handle direct communications with certain clients and other systems, for example:
- the iConnect Business Components store information about the objects that they manage in the iControl Service Database 240 and in the iControl Content Store 242 .
- the iControl Content Store is used to store media objects like video, photos and widget content, while the Service Database stores information about users, networks, and devices. Database interaction is performed via a JDBC interface.
- the Business Components manage all data storage and retrieval.
- the iControl Business Components provide web services-based APIs that application components use to access the Business Components' capabilities. Functions of application components include presenting integrated security system service data to end-users, performing administrative duties, and integrating with external systems and back-office applications.
- the primary published APIs for the iConnect Business Components include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Each API of an embodiment includes two modes of access: Java API or XML API.
- the XML APIs are published as web services so that they can be easily accessed by applications or servers over a network.
- the Java APIs are a programmer-friendly wrapper for the XML APIs.
- Application components and integrations written in Java should generally use the Java APIs rather than the XML APIs directly.
- the iConnect Business Components also have an XML-based interface 260 for quickly adding support for new devices to the integrated security system.
- This interface 260 referred to as DeviceConnect 260 , is a flexible, standards-based mechanism for defining the properties of new devices and how they can be managed. Although the format is flexible enough to allow the addition of any type of future device, pre-defined XML profiles are currently available for adding common types of devices such as sensors (SensorConnect), home security panels (PanelConnect) and IP cameras (CameraConnect).
- the iConnect End-User Application Components deliver the user interfaces that run on the different types of clients supported by the integrated security system service.
- the components are written in portable Java J2EE technology (e.g., as Java Servlets, as JavaServer Pages (JSPs), etc.) and they all interact with the iControl Business Components via the published APIs.
- JSPs JavaServer Pages
- End-User Application Components generate CSS-based HTML/JavaScript that is displayed on the target client. These applications can be dynamically branded with partner-specific logos and URL links (such as Customer Support, etc.).
- End-User Application Components of an embodiment include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Service Management Application Components are responsible for overall management of the service. These pre-defined applications, referred to as Service Management Application Components, are configured to offer off-the-shelf solutions for production management of the integrated security system service including provisioning, overall service monitoring, customer support, and reporting, for example.
- the Service Management Application Components of an embodiment include, but are not limited to, the following:
- the iConnect servers 104 also support custom-built integrations with a service provider's existing OSS/BSS, CSR and service delivery systems 290 . Such systems can access the iConnect web services XML API to transfer data to and from the iConnect servers 104 . These types of integrations can compliment or replace the PC browser-based Service Management applications, depending on service provider needs.
- the integrated security system of an embodiment includes a gateway, or iHub.
- the gateway of an embodiment includes a device that is deployed in the home or business and couples or connects the various third-party cameras, home security panels, sensors and devices to the iConnect server over a WAN connection as described in detail herein.
- the gateway couples to the home network and communicates directly with the home security panel in both wired and wireless sensor installations.
- the gateway is configured to be low-cost, reliable and thin so that it complements the integrated security system network-based architecture.
- the gateway supports various wireless protocols and can interconnect with a wide range of home security control panels. Service providers and users can then extend the system's capabilities by adding IP cameras, lighting modules and additional security devices.
- the gateway is configurable to be integrated into many consumer appliances, including set-top boxes, routers and security panels. The small and efficient footprint of the gateway enables this portability and versatility, thereby simplifying and reducing the overall cost of the deployment.
- FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the gateway 102 including gateway software or applications, under an embodiment.
- the gateway software architecture is relatively thin and efficient, thereby simplifying its integration into other consumer appliances such as set-top boxes, routers, touch screens and security panels.
- the software architecture also provides a high degree of security against unauthorized access. This section describes the various key components of the gateway software architecture.
- the gateway application layer 302 is the main program that orchestrates the operations performed by the gateway.
- the Security Engine 304 provides robust protection against intentional and unintentional intrusion into the integrated security system network from the outside world (both from inside the premises as well as from the WAN).
- the Security Engine 304 of an embodiment comprises one or more sub-modules or components that perform functions including, but not limited to, the following:
- the security manager can be upgraded “over the air” to provide new and better security for communications between the iConnect server and the gateway application, and locally at the premises to remove any risk of eavesdropping on camera communications.
- a Remote Firmware Download module 306 allows for seamless and secure updates to the gateway firmware through the iControl Maintenance Application on the server 104 , providing a transparent, hassle-free mechanism for the service provider to deploy new features and bug fixes to the installed user base.
- the firmware download mechanism is tolerant of connection loss, power interruption and user interventions (both intentional and unintentional). Such robustness reduces down time and customer support issues.
- Gateway firmware can be remotely download either for one gateway at a time, a group of gateways, or in batches.
- the Automations engine 308 manages the user-defined rules of interaction between the different devices (e.g. when door opens turn on the light). Though the automation rules are programmed and reside at the portal/server level, they are cached at the gateway level in order to provide short latency between device triggers and actions.
- DeviceConnect 310 includes definitions of all supported devices (e.g., cameras, security panels, sensors, etc.) using a standardized plug-in architecture.
- the DeviceConnect module 310 offers an interface that can be used to quickly add support for any new device as well as enabling interoperability between devices that use different technologies/protocols. For common device types, pre-defined sub-modules have been defined, making supporting new devices of these types even easier.
- SensorConnect 312 is provided for adding new sensors, CameraConnect 316 for adding IP cameras, and PanelConnect 314 for adding home security panels.
- the Schedules engine 318 is responsible for executing the user defined schedules (e.g., take a picture every five minutes; every day at 8 am set temperature to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, etc.). Though the schedules are programmed and reside at the iConnect server level they are sent to the scheduler within the gateway application. The Schedules Engine 318 then interfaces with SensorConnect 312 to ensure that scheduled events occur at precisely the desired time.
- the Schedules Engine 318 then interfaces with SensorConnect 312 to ensure that scheduled events occur at precisely the desired time.
- the Device Management module 320 is in charge of all discovery, installation and configuration of both wired and wireless IP devices (e.g., cameras, etc.) coupled or connected to the system.
- Networked IP devices such as those used in the integrated security system, require user configuration of many IP and security parameters—to simplify the user experience and reduce the customer support burden, the device management module of an embodiment handles the details of this configuration.
- the device management module also manages the video routing module described below.
- the video routing engine 322 is responsible for delivering seamless video streams to the user with zero-configuration. Through a multi-step, staged approach the video routing engine uses a combination of UPnP port-forwarding, relay server routing and STUN/TURN peer-to-peer routing.
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram of components of the gateway 102 , under an embodiment.
- the gateway 102 can use any of a number of processors 402 , due to the small footprint of the gateway application firmware.
- the gateway could include the Broadcom BCM5354 as the processor for example.
- the gateway 102 includes memory (e.g., FLASH 404 , RAM 406 , etc.) and any number of input/output (I/O) ports 408 .
- the gateway 102 of an embodiment can communicate with the iConnect server using a number of communication types and/or protocols, for example Broadband 412 , GPRS 414 and/or Public Switched Telephone Network (PTSN) 416 to name a few.
- broadband communication 412 is the primary means of connection between the gateway 102 and the iConnect server 104 and the GPRS/CDMA 414 and/or PSTN 416 interfaces acts as back-up for fault tolerance in case the user's broadband connection fails for whatever reason, but the embodiment is not so limited.

- the gateway as described herein functions to enable a separate wireless network, or sub-network, that is coupled, connected, or integrated with another network (e.g., WAN, LAN of the host premises, etc.).
- the sub-network enabled by the gateway optimizes the installation process for IP devices, like the touchscreen, that couple or connect to the sub-network by segregating these IP devices from other such devices on the network.
- This segregation of the IP devices of the sub-network further enables separate security and privacy policies to be implemented for these IP devices so that, where the IP devices are dedicated to specific functions (e.g., security), the security and privacy policies can be tailored specifically for the specific functions.
- the gateway and the sub-network it forms enables the segregation of data traffic, resulting in faster and more efficient data flow between components of the host network, components of the sub-network, and between components of the sub-network and components of the network.
- the touchscreen of an embodiment includes a core functional embedded system that includes an embedded operating system, required hardware drivers, and an open system interface to name a few.

- UI user interface
- a first UI 802 of the touchscreen includes icons by which a user controls or accesses functions and/or components of the security system (e.g., “Main”, “Panic”, “Medic”, “Fire”, state of the premise alarm system (e.g., disarmed, armed, etc.), etc.); the first UI 802 , which is also referred to herein as a security interface, is always presented on the touchscreen.
- a second UI 804 of the touchscreen includes icons by which a user selects or interacts with services and other network content (e.g., clock, calendar, weather, stocks, news, sports, photos, maps, music, etc.) that is accessible via the touchscreen.
- the second UI 804 is also referred to herein as a network interface or content interface.
- a third UI 806 of the touchscreen includes icons by which a user selects or interacts with additional services or components (e.g., intercom control, security, cameras coupled to the system in particular regions (e.g., front door, baby, etc.) available via the touchscreen.
- additional services or components e.g., intercom control, security, cameras coupled to the system in particular regions (e.g., front door, baby, etc.) available via the touchscreen.
- a component of the application engine is the Presentation Engine, which includes a set of libraries that implement the standards-based widget content (e.g., XML, HTML, JavaScript, Flash) layout and interactivity.
- This engine provides the widget with interfaces to dynamically load both graphics and application logic from third parties, support high level data description language as well as standard graphic formats.
- the set of web content-based functionality available to a widget developer is extended by specific touchscreen functions implemented as local web services by the Core Engine.
- the resident application of the touchscreen is the master service that controls the interaction of all widgets in the system, and enforces the business and security rules required by the service provider. For example, the resident application determines the priority of widgets, thereby enabling a home security widget to override resource requests from a less critical widget (e.g. a weather widget). The resident application also monitors widget behavior, and responds to client or server requests for cache updates.
- a less critical widget e.g. a weather widget
- the core engine of the touchscreen manages interaction with other components of the integrated security system, and provides an interface through which the resident application and authorized widgets can get information about the home security system, set alarms, install sensors, etc.
- the Core Engine's main interactions are through the PanelConnect API, which handles all communication with the security panel, and the gateway Interface, which handles communication with the gateway.
- both the iHub Interface and PanelConnect API are resident and operating on the touchscreen.
- the PanelConnect API runs on the gateway or other device that provides security system interaction and is accessed by the touchscreen through a web services interface.
- the Core Engine also handles application and service level persistent and cached memory functions, as well as the dynamic provisioning of content and widgets, including but not limited to: flash memory management, local widget and content caching, widget version management (download, cache flush new/old content versions), as well as the caching and synchronization of user preferences.
- the Core engine incorporates the bootloader functionality that is responsible for maintaining a consistent software image on the touchscreen, and acts as the client agent for all software updates.
- the bootloader is configured to ensure full update redundancy so that unsuccessful downloads cannot corrupt the integrated security system.
- Video management is provided as a set of web services by the Core Engine. Video management includes the retrieval and playback of local video feeds as well as remote control and management of cameras (all through iControl CameraConnect technology).
- Both the high level application layer and the mid-level core engine of the touchscreen can make calls to the network. Any call to the network made by the application layer is automatically handed off to a local caching proxy, which determines whether the request should be handled locally. Many of the requests from the application layer are web services API requests; although such requests could be satisfied by the iControl servers, they are handled directly by the touchscreen and the gateway. Requests that get through the caching proxy are checked against a white list of acceptable sites, and, if they match, are sent off through the network interface to the gateway. Included in the Network Subsystem is a set of network services including HTTP, HTTPS, and server-level authentication functions to manage the secure client-server interface. Storage and management of certificates is incorporated as a part of the network services layer.
- Server components of the integrated security system servers support interactive content services on the touchscreen. These server components include, but are not limited to the content manager, registry manager, network manager, and global registry, each of which is described herein.
- the Content Manager oversees aspects of handling widget data and raw content on the touchscreen. Once created and validated by the service provider, widgets are ‘ingested’ to the Content Manager, and then become available as downloadable services through the integrated security system Content Management APIs.
- the Content manager maintains versions and timestamp information, and connects to the raw data contained in the backend Content Store database. When a widget is updated (or new content becomes available) all clients registering interest in a widget are systematically updated as needed (a process that can be configured at an account, locale, or system-wide level).
- the Registry Manager handles user data, and provisioning accounts, including information about widgets the user has decided to install, and the user preferences for these widgets.
- the Network Manager handles getting and setting state for all devices on the integrated security system network (e.g., sensors, panels, cameras, etc.).
- the Network manager synchronizes with the gateway, the advanced touchscreen, and the subscriber database.
- the Global Registry is a primary starting point server for all client services, and is a logical referral service that abstracts specific server locations/addresses from clients (touchscreen, gateway 102 , desktop widgets, etc.). This approach enables easy scaling/migration of server farms.
- the touchscreen of an embodiment operates wirelessly with a premise security system.
- the touchscreen of an embodiment incorporates an RF transceiver component that either communicates directly with the sensors and/or security panel over the panel's proprietary RF frequency, or the touchscreen communicates wirelessly to the gateway over 802.11, Ethernet, or other IP-based communications channel, as described in detail herein.
- the gateway implements the PanelConnect interface and communicates directly to the security panel and/or sensors over wireless or wired networks as described in detail above.
- the touchscreen of an embodiment is configured to operate with multiple security systems through the use of an abstracted security system interface.
- the PanelConnect API can be configured to support a plurality of proprietary security system interfaces, either simultaneously or individually as described herein.
- the touchscreen incorporates multiple physical interfaces to security panels (e.g. GE Security RS-485, Honeywell RF, etc.) in addition to the PanelConnect API implemented to support multiple security interfaces.
- security panels e.g. GE Security RS-485, Honeywell RF, etc.
- the change needed to support this in PanelConnect is a configuration parameter specifying the panel type connection that is being utilized.
- the ‘panelType’ parameter is used by the setARMState function (and in practice by all of the PanelConnect functions) to select an algorithm appropriate to the specific panel out of a plurality of algorithms.
- the touchscreen of an embodiment is self-installable. Consequently, the touchscreen provides a ‘wizard’ approach similar to that used in traditional computer installations (e.g. InstallShield).
- the wizard can be resident on the touchscreen, accessible through a web interface, or both.

This places the gateway in an install mode. Once in install mode, the gateway shifts to a default (Install) Wifi configuration. This setting will match the default setting for other integrated security system-enabled devices that have been pre-configured to work with the integrated security system. The gateway will then begin to provide 1106 DHCP addresses for these IP devices.

Other settings are also configured as appropriate for that type of device. Once all devices have been configured, the user is notified and the user can exit install mode. At this point all devices will have been registered 1114 with the integrated security system servers.
- the installer switches 1116 the gateway to an operational mode, and the gateway instructs or directs 1118 all newly configured devices to switch to the “secured” Wifi sandbox settings.
- the gateway then switches 1120 to the “secured” Wifi settings.
- the gateway can create or generate a dynamic network security configuration based on the unique ID and private key in the gateway, coupled with a randomizing factor that can be based on online time or other inputs. This guarantees the uniqueness of the gateway secured network configuration.
- the gateway analyzes the RF spectrum of the 802.11x network and determines which frequency band/channel it should select to run.
- An alternative embodiment of the camera/IP device management process leverages the local ethernet connection of the sandbox network on the gateway. This alternative process is similar to the Wifi discovery embodiment described above, except the user connects the targeted device to the ethernet port of the sandbox network to begin the process.

- This alternative embodiment of the IP device discovery and management begins with the user/installer placing the system into install mode.
- the user is instructed to attach an IP device to be installed to the sandbox Ethernet port of the gateway.
- the IP device requests a DHCP address from the gateway which, in response to the request, provides the address.
- the user is presented the device and is asked if he/she wants to install the device. If yes, the system configures the device with the secured Wifi settings and other device-specific settings (e.g., camera settings for video length, image quality etc.).
- the user is next instructed to disconnect the device from the ethernet port.
- the device is now available for use on the secured sandbox network.

- the user presses one of the panic alarm buttons, and confirms the alarm with a second button press (Step 1).
- Step 2 the touchscreen sends the alarm signal to both the security panel and the gateway (using the PanelConnect or remote Svc API interface described above).
- Step 3 the security panel alerts other keypads and touchscreens (once again through the PanelConnect interface) of the alarm condition, and flashes lights/sounds sirens as appropriate.
- the gateway or security panel calls the CMS on the hard-wired phone line. Simultaneously, the gateway sends a signal to the iConnect Server system over the broadband connection and, if so configured, uses GPRS to call a cell phone relay station with the alarm data.
- the iConnect Server system routes the information, formatted using an industry standard alarm format such as ContactID or SIA, to a suitable broadband receiver in the CMS (for example the DSC Surguard broadband alarm receiver, or directly to the CMS automation software server).

- Step 1 the installer initiates entry into sensor learning mode by activating the installation UI on the touchscreen.
- the gateway picks up the wireless communication from the sensor and pushes information about the sensor to the touchscreen (Step 3).
- the installer can program the specific name of the sensor and its zones. This process is repeated for all of the sensors in the system. Once all sensors have been ‘learned’ in this way, the information is transmitted via interne or cellular IP networks to the iConnect server.
- the sensor information is associated with a ‘network’ (e.g., a location), but has not yet been associated with a specific user or account.
- the installer then creates a user account, and the previously created network is then associated with that account in the iConnect user database.
- This embodiment allows systems, devices, touchscreens, panels, and the like to be pre-associated, packaged, and/or installed without reference to a user or subscriber account.
- Step 4 the gateway pushes the open/close information to the iConnect servers, which alert the CMS to verify that a signal has been received for the sensor on the back end.
- Step 5 the CMS acknowledges that the sensor has been installed correctly and is operational, and that acknowledgement is pushed back through the system.

- FIG. 15 is a data flow diagram for a camera event 1500 , under an embodiment.
- Cameras can be integrated with alerts that are generated by sensor events. For example, a consumer who wishes to see who is at her front door would set up the front door sensor to trigger an iControl Notification to the touchscreen, signifying a camera alert. When the sensor is activated, a pop-up appears on the touchscreen telling the user that the front door sensor has been activated, and asking the user if he or she would like to view the video.
- the flow diagram for the camera event 1500 shows the flow of data from the sensor to the security panel and the gateway during a camera event.
- the gateway receives information regarding automation ‘rules’ between camera and sensor event from the iConnect servers as a part of the periodic state updates that occur between gateway client and server.
- Step 1 a sensor or multiple sensors are triggered.
- the gateway and/or Security Panel receives notification that a sensor state has changed through a network connection (wired or wireless) with the sensor, and if a rule exists for that device or set of devices, the touchscreen is then alerted via the PanelConnect interface running either locally on the touchscreen or remotely on the gateway.
- the touchscreen puts up the alert and, if requested, opens a video stream from the camera.
- the touchscreen is in a quiescent mode instead of a dialog popup the IP video is immediately displayed, and an audible alert may sound as an option in the notification.
- Step 3 of the data flow also shows an alternate route over which the gateway, if so configured, can send the sensor information the iControl servers (Step 4), which in turn forward the information in the form of an SMS alert or direct IP notification to a cell phone (Step 5).
- the cell phone user could then set up a video stream from the camera.

- An installer later places the gateway in a user's premises along with the premises security system.
- the installer uses a computer to navigate to a web portal (e.g., integrated security system web interface), logs in to the portal, and enters the authorization key of the installed gateway into the web portal for authentication.
- a web portal e.g., integrated security system web interface
- the gateway automatically discovers devices at the premises (e.g., sensors, cameras, light controls, etc.) and adds the discovered devices to the system or “network”.
- the installer assigns names to the devices, and tests operation of the devices back to the server (e.g., did the door open, did the camera take a picture, etc.).
- the security device information is optionally pushed or otherwise propagated to a security panel and/or to the server network database.
- the installer finishes the installation, and instructs the end user on how to create an account, username, and password.
- the user enters the authorization key which validates the account creation (uses a valid authorization key to associate the network with the user's account).
- New devices may subsequently be added to the security network in a variety of ways (e.g., user first enters a unique ID for each device/sensor and names it in the server, after which the gateway can automatically discover and configure the device).
- FIG. 17 , element 1710 is a Dialog system and the WSP ( FIG. 17 , element 1711 ) is a SimonXT available from General Electric Security, and the Gateway ( FIG. 17 , element 1720 ) is the iHub available from iControl Networks, Palo Alto, Calif., and described in detail herein. Descriptions of the install process for the SimonXT and iHub are also provided below.
- GE Security's Dialog network is one of the most widely deployed and tested wireless security systems in the world.
- the physical RF network is based on a 319.5 MHz unlicensed spectrum, with a bandwidth supporting up to 19 Kbps communications. Typical use of this bandwidth—even in conjunction with the integrated security system—is far less than that.
- Devices on this network can support either one-way communication (either a transmitter or a receiver) or two-way communication (a transceiver).
- Certain GE Simon, Simon XT, and Concord security control panels incorporate a two-way transceiver as a standard component.
- the gateway also incorporates the same two-way transceiver card.
- the physical link layer of the network is managed by the transceiver module hardware and firmware, while the coded payload bitstreams are made available to the application layer for processing.
- Sensors in the Dialog network typically use a 60-bit protocol for communicating with the security panel transceiver, while security system keypads and the gateway use the encrypted 80-bit protocol.
- the Dialog network is configured for reliability, as well as low-power usage. Many devices are supervised, i.e. they are regularly monitored by the system ‘master’ (typically a GE security panel), while still maintaining excellent power usage characteristics.
- a typical door window sensor has a battery life in excess of 5-7 years.
- the gateway has two modes of operation in the Dialog network: a first mode of operation is when the gateway is configured or operates as a ‘slave’ to the GE security panel; a second mode of operation is when the gateway is configured or operates as a ‘master’ to the system in the event a security panel is not present.
- a first mode of operation is when the gateway is configured or operates as a ‘slave’ to the GE security panel; a second mode of operation is when the gateway is configured or operates as a ‘master’ to the system in the event a security panel is not present.
- the gateway has the ability to ‘listen’ to network traffic, enabling the gateway to continually keep track of the status of all devices in the system.
- the gateway can address and control devices that support setting adjustments (such as the GE wireless thermostat).
- the gateway In the configuration in which the gateway acts as a ‘slave’ to the security panel, the gateway is ‘learned into’ the system as a GE wireless keypad. In this mode of operation, the gateway emulates a security system keypad when managing the security panel, and can query the security panel for status and ‘listen’ to security panel events (such as alarm events).
- the gateway incorporates an RF Transceiver manufactured by GE Security, but is not so limited.
- This transceiver implements the Dialog protocols and handles all network message transmissions, receptions, and timing. As such, the physical, link, and protocol layers of the communications between the gateway and any GE device in the Dialog network are totally compliant with GE Security specifications.
- the gateway emulates the behavior of a GE wireless keypad utilizing the GE Security 80-bit encrypted protocol, and only supported protocols and network traffic are generated by the gateway.
- Extensions to the Dialog RF protocol of an embodiment enable full control and configuration of the panel, and iControl can both automate installation and sensor enrollment as well as direct configuration downloads for the panel under these protocol extensions.
- the gateway participates in the GE Security network at the customer premises. Because the gateway has intelligence and a two-way transceiver, it can ‘hear’ all of the traffic on that network.
- the gateway makes use of the periodic sensor updates, state changes, and supervisory signals of the network to maintain a current state of the premises. This data is relayed to the integrated security system server (e.g., FIG. 2 , element 260 ) and stored in the event repository for use by other server components.
- This usage of the GE Security RF network is completely non-invasive; there is no new data traffic created to support this activity.
- the gateway can directly (or indirectly through the Simon XT panel) control two-way devices on the network.
- the gateway can direct a GE Security Thermostat to change its setting to ‘Cool’ from ‘Off’, as well as request an update on the current temperature of the room.
- the gateway performs these functions using the existing GE Dialog protocols, with little to no impact on the network; a gateway device control or data request takes only a few dozen bytes of data in a network that can support 19 Kbps.
- the gateway By enrolling with the Simon XT as a wireless keypad, as described herein, the gateway includes data or information of all alarm events, as well as state changes relevant to the security panel. This information is transferred to the gateway as encrypted packets in the same way that the information is transferred to all other wireless keypads on the network.
- the gateway can also initiate the same panel commands that a keypad can initiate. For example, the gateway can arm or disarm the panel using the standard Dialog protocol for this activity.
- the gateway can arm or disarm the panel using the standard Dialog protocol for this activity.
- the only incremental data traffic on the network as a result of the gateway is the infrequent remote arm/disarm events that the gateway initiates, or infrequent queries on the state of the panel.
- the gateway is enrolled into the Simon XT panel as a ‘slave’ device which, in an embodiment, is a wireless keypad. This enables the gateway for all necessary functionality for operating the Simon XT system remotely, as well as combining the actions and information of non-security devices such as lighting or door locks with GE Security devices.
- the only resource taken up by the gateway in this scenario is one wireless zone (sensor ID).
- the gateway of an embodiment supports three forms of sensor and panel enrollment/installation into the integrated security system, but is not limited to this number of enrollment/installation options.
- the enrollment/installation options of an embodiment include installer installation, kitting, and panel, each of which is described below.
- the installer enters the sensor IDs at time of installation into the integrated security system web portal or iScreen. This technique is supported in all configurations and installations.
- Kits can be pre-provisioned using integrated security system provisioning applications when using the kitting option. At kitting time, multiple sensors are automatically associated with an account, and at install time there is no additional work required.
- the gateway has the capability to automatically extract the sensor information from the system and incorporate it into the user account on the integrated security system server.
- the gateway and integrated security system of an embodiment uses an auto-learn process for sensor and panel enrollment in an embodiment.
- the deployment approach of an embodiment can use additional interfaces that GE Security is adding to the Simon XT panel. With these interfaces, the gateway has the capability to remotely enroll sensors in the panel automatically.
- the interfaces include, but are not limited to, the following: EnrollDevice(ID, type, name, zone, group); SetDeviceParameters(ID, type, Name, zone, group), GetDeviceParameters(zone); and RemoveDevice(zone).
- the integrated security system incorporates these new interfaces into the system, providing the following install process.
- the install process can include integrated security system logistics to handle kitting and pre-provisioning.
- Pre-kitting and logistics can include a pre-provisioning kitting tool provided by integrated security system that enables a security system vendor or provider (“provider”) to offer pre-packaged initial ‘kits’. This is not required but is recommended for simplifying the install process.
- a ‘Basic’ kit is preassembled and includes one (1) Simon XT, three (3) Door/window sensors, one (1) motion sensor, one (1) gateway, one (1) keyfob, two (2) cameras, and ethernet cables.
- the kit also includes a sticker page with all Zones (1-24) and Names (full name list).
- the provider uses the integrated security system kitting tool to assemble ‘Basic’ kit packages.
- the contents of different types of starter kits may be defined by the provider.
- a worker uses a bar code scanner to scan each sensor and the gateway as it is packed into the box.
- An ID label is created that is attached to the box.
- the scanning process automatically associates all the devices with one kit, and the new ID label is the unique identifier of the kit.
- These boxes are then sent to the provider for distribution to installer warehouses. Individual sensors, cameras, etc. are also sent to the provider installer warehouse. Each is labeled with its own barcode/ID.
- An installation and enrollment procedure of a security system including a gateway is described below as one example of the installation process.
- An installation and enrollment procedure of a security system including a gateway is described below as an alternative example of the installation process.
- This installation process is for use for enrolling sensors into the SimonXT and integrated security system and is compatible with all existing GE Simon panels.
- the integrated security system supports all pre-kitting functionality described in the installation process above. However, for the purpose of the following example, no kitting is used.
- the panel of an embodiment can be programmed remotely.
- the CMS pushes new programming to SimonXT over a telephone or GPRS link.
- iControl and GE provide a broadband link or coupling to the gateway and then a link from the gateway to the Simon XT over GE RF.

- This invention relates to consumer displays and, more particularly, to a modular touchscreen display platform that enables dynamic reconfiguration of the touchscreen with modules to provide different functionality depending on current needs of the user.
- Conventional consumer touchscreens, many of which are in the form of liquid crystal display (LCD) panels, are generally designed for either single task applications (e.g. picture frame) or for multi-task applications supported by a pre-determined and fixed hardware capability. For example, if the touchscreen installed in a home was configured for a first type of use, and the touchscreen was subsequently required to perform a different type of use, then a new touchscreen would be required having a different hardware function (e.g. directly manage a heating and air-conditioning system or a security panel) that supported the different use type. Consequently, the conventional touchscreens offer an inflexible architecture for supporting new applications as user needs change over time. Also, the conventional touchscreens make it relatively expensive to deploy new features due to the hardware inflexibility. Furthermore, the conventional touchscreens make it difficult for manufacturers or sellers of the touchscreens to address new applications and market trends because of the time required to redesign a touchscreen to support new features.

FIG. 18 is a flow diagram for wirelessly ‘learning’ the gateway into an existing security system and discovering extant sensors, under an embodiment. - A modular touchscreen platform is described that enables dynamic reconfiguration of the touchscreen for different functions or functionality. The touchscreen platform of an embodiment includes the touchscreen display and one or more plug-in modules that each enable different functions in the touchscreen platform. The modules therefore provide different functionality through the touchscreen depending on current needs of the user. The touchscreen platform can be used as an in-home consumer touchscreen with uses including, for example, home management, including energy management, security, surveillance, health monitoring, elder care and other consumer applications, to name a few.
- Additionally, an integrated security system is described that integrates broadband and mobile access and control with conventional security systems and premise devices to provide a tri-mode security network (broadband, cellular/GSM, POTS access) that enables users to remotely stay connected to their premises. The integrated security system, while delivering remote premise monitoring and control functionality to conventional monitored premise protection, complements existing premise protection equipment. The integrated security system integrates into the premise network and couples wirelessly with the conventional security panel, enabling broadband access to premise security systems. Automation devices (cameras, lamp modules, thermostats, etc.) can be added, enabling users to remotely see live video and/or pictures and control home devices via their personal web portal or webpage, mobile phone, and/or other remote client device. Users can also receive notifications via email or text message when happenings occur, or do not occur, in their home.
- Although the detailed description herein contains many specifics for the purposes of illustration, anyone of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that many variations and alterations to the following details are within the scope of the embodiments described herein. Thus, the following illustrative embodiments are set forth without any loss of generality to, and without imposing limitations upon, the claimed invention.
- In accordance with the embodiments described herein, a wireless system (e.g., radio frequency (RF)) is provided that enables a security provider or consumer to extend the capabilities of an existing RF-capable security system or a non-RF-capable security system that has been upgraded to support RF capabilities. The system includes an RF-capable Gateway device (physically located within RF range of the RE-capable security system) and associated software operating on the Gateway device. The system also includes a web server, application server, and remote database providing a persistent store for information related to the system.
- The security systems of an embodiment, referred to herein as the iControl security system or integrated security system, extend the value of traditional home security by adding broadband access and the advantages of remote home monitoring and home control through the formation of a security network including components of the integrated security system integrated with a conventional premise security system and a premise local area network (LAN). With the integrated security system, conventional home security sensors, cameras, touchscreen keypads, lighting controls, and/or Internet Protocol (IP) devices in the home (or business) become connected devices that are accessible anywhere in the world from a web browser, mobile phone or through content-enabled touchscreens. The integrated security system experience allows security operators to both extend the value proposition of their monitored security systems and reach new consumers that include broadband users interested in staying connected to their family, home and property when they are away from home.
- The integrated security system of an embodiment includes security servers (also referred to herein as iConnect servers or security network servers) and an iHub gateway (also referred to herein as the gateway, the iHub, or the iHub client) that couples or integrates into a home network (e.g., LAN) and communicates directly with the home security panel, in both wired and wireless installations. The security system of an embodiment automatically discovers the security system components (e.g., sensors, etc.) belonging to the security system and connected to a control panel of the security system and provides consumers with full two-way access via web and mobile portals. The gateway supports various wireless protocols and can interconnect with a wide range of control panels offered by security system providers. Service providers and users can then extend the system's capabilities with the additional IP cameras, lighting modules or security devices such as interactive touchscreen keypads. The integrated security system adds an enhanced value to these security systems by enabling consumers to stay connected through email and SMS alerts, photo push, event-based video capture and rule-based monitoring and notifications. This solution extends the reach of home security to households with broadband access.
- The integrated security system builds upon the foundation afforded by traditional security systems by layering broadband and mobile access, IP cameras, interactive touchscreens, and an open approach to home automation on top of traditional security system configurations. The integrated security system is easily installed and managed by the security operator, and simplifies the traditional security installation process, as described below.
- The integrated security system provides an open systems solution to the home security market. As such, the foundation of the integrated security system customer premises equipment (CPE) approach has been to abstract devices, and allows applications to manipulate and manage multiple devices from any vendor. The integrated security system DeviceConnect technology that enables this capability supports protocols, devices, and panels from GE Security and Honeywell, as well as consumer devices using Z-Wave, IP cameras (e.g., Ethernet, wifi, and Homeplug), and IP touchscreens. The DeviceConnect is a device abstraction layer that enables any device or protocol layer to interoperate with integrated security system components. This architecture enables the addition of new devices supporting any of these interfaces, as well as add entirely new protocols.
- The benefit of DeviceConnect is that it provides supplier flexibility. The same consistent touchscreen, web, and mobile user experience operate unchanged on whatever security equipment selected by a security system provider, with the system provider's choice of IP cameras, backend data center and central station software.
- The integrated security system provides a complete system that integrates or layers on top of a conventional host security system available from a security system provider. The security system provider therefore can select different components or configurations to offer (e.g., CDMA, GPRS, no cellular, etc.) as well as have iControl modify the integrated security system configuration for the system provider's specific needs (e.g., change the functionality of the web or mobile portal, add a GE or Honeywell-compatible TouchScreen, etc.).
- The integrated security system integrates with the security system provider infrastructure for central station reporting directly via Broadband and GPRS alarm transmissions. Traditional dial-up reporting is supported via the standard panel connectivity. Additionally, the integrated security system provides interfaces for advanced functionality to the CMS, including enhanced alarm events, system installation optimizations, system test verification, video verification, 2-way voice over IP and GSM.
- The integrated security system is an IP centric system that includes broadband connectivity so that the gateway augments the existing security system with broadband and GPRS connectivity. If broadband is down or unavailable GPRS may be used, for example. The integrated security system supports GPRS connectivity using an optional wireless package that includes a GPRS modem in the gateway. The integrated security system treats the GPRS connection as a higher cost though flexible option for data transfers. In an embodiment the GPRS connection is only used to route alarm events (e.g., for cost), however the gateway can be configured (e.g., through the iConnect server interface) to act as a primary channel and pass any or all events over GPRS. Consequently, the integrated security system does not interfere with the current plain old telephone service (POTS) security panel interface. Alarm events can still be routed through POTS; however the gateway also allows such events to be routed through a broadband or GPRS connection as well. The integrated security system provides a web application interface to the CSR tool suite as well as XML web services interfaces for programmatic integration between the security system provider's existing call center products. The integrated security system includes, for example, APIs that allow the security system provider to integrate components of the integrated security system into a custom call center interface. The APIs include XML web service APIs for integration of existing security system provider call center applications with the integrated security system service. All functionality available in the CSR Web application is provided with these API sets. The Java and XML-based APIs of the integrated security system support provisioning, billing, system administration, CSR, central station, portal user interfaces, and content management functions, to name a few. The integrated security system can provide a customized interface to the security system provider's billing system, or alternatively can provide security system developers with APIs and support in the integration effort.
- The integrated security system provides or includes business component interfaces for provisioning, administration, and customer care to name a few. Standard templates and examples are provided with a defined customer professional services engagement to help integrate OSS/BSS systems of a Service Provider with the integrated security system.
- The integrated security system components support and allow for the integration of customer account creation and deletion with a security system. The iConnect APIs provides access to the provisioning and account management system in iConnect and provide full support for account creation, provisioning, and deletion. Depending on the requirements of the security system provider, the iConnect APIs can be used to completely customize any aspect of the integrated security system backend operational system.
- The integrated security system includes a gateway that supports the following standards-based interfaces, to name a few: Ethernet IP communications via Ethernet ports on the gateway, and standard XML/TCP/IP protocols and ports are employed over secured SSL sessions; USB 2.0 via ports on the gateway; 802.11b/g/n IP communications; GSM/GPRS RF WAN communications; CDMA 1xRTT RF WAN communications (optional, can also support EVDO and 3G technologies).
- The gateway supports the following proprietary interfaces, to name a few: interfaces including Dialog RF network (319.5 MHz) and RS485 Superbus 2000 wired interface; RF mesh network (908 MHz); and interfaces including RF network (345 MHz) and RS485/RS232bus wired interfaces.
- Regarding security for the IP communications (e.g., authentication, authorization, encryption, anti-spoofing, etc), the integrated security system uses SSL to encrypt all IP traffic, using server and client-certificates for authentication, as well as authentication in the data sent over the SSL-encrypted channel. For encryption, integrated security system issues public/private key pairs at the time/place of manufacture, and certificates are not stored in any online storage in an embodiment.
- The integrated security system does not need any special rules at the customer premise and/or at the security system provider central station because the integrated security system makes outgoing connections using TCP over the standard HTTP and HTTPS ports. Provided outbound TCP connections are allowed then no special requirements on the firewalls are necessary.
-
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of theintegrated security system 100, under an embodiment. Theintegrated security system 100 of an embodiment includes thegateway 102 and thesecurity servers 104 coupled to the conventionalhome security system 110. At a customer's home or business, thegateway 102 connects and manages the diverse variety of home security and self-monitoring devices. Thegateway 102 communicates with theiConnect Servers 104 located in the service provider's data center 106 (or hosted in integrated security system data center), with the communication taking place via acommunication network 108 or other network (e.g., cellular network, internet, etc.). Theseservers 104 manage the system integrations necessary to deliver the integrated system service described herein. The combination of thegateway 102 and theiConnect servers 104 enable a wide variety of remote client devices 120 (e.g., PCs, mobile phones and PDAs) allowing users to remotely stay in touch with their home, business and family. In addition, the technology allows home security and self-monitoring information, as well as relevant third party content such as traffic and weather, to be presented in intuitive ways within the home, such as on advanced touchscreen keypads. - The integrated security system service (also referred to as iControl service) can be managed by a service provider via browser-based Maintenance and Service Management applications that are provided with the iConnect Servers. Or, if desired, the service can be more tightly integrated with existing OSS/BSS and service delivery systems via the iConnect web services-based XML APIs.
- The integrated security system service can also coordinate the sending of alarms to the home security Central Monitoring Station (CMS) 199. Alarms are passed to the
CMS 199 using standard protocols such as Contact ID or SIA and can be generated from the home security panel location as well as byiConnect server 104 conditions (such as lack of communications with the integrated security system). In addition, the link between thesecurity servers 104 andCMS 199 provides tighter integration between home security and self-monitoring devices and thegateway 102. Such integration enables advanced security capabilities such as the ability for CMS personnel to view photos taken at the time a burglary alarm was triggered. For maximum security, thegateway 102 andiConnect servers 104 support the use of a mobile network (both GPRS and CDMA options are available) as a backup to the primary broadband connection. - The integrated security system service is delivered by hosted servers running software components that communicate with a variety of client types while interacting with other systems.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of components of theintegrated security system 100, under an embodiment. Following is a more detailed description of the components. - The
iConnect servers 104 support a diverse collection ofclients 120 ranging from mobile devices, to PCs, to in-home security devices, to a service provider's internal systems.Most clients 120 are used by end-users, but there are also a number ofclients 120 that are used to operate the service. -
Clients 120 used by end-users of theintegrated security system 100 include, but are not limited to, the following: -
- Clients based on gateway client applications 202 (e.g., a processor-based device running the gateway technology that manages home security and automation devices).
- A
web browser 204 accessing a Web Portal application, performing end-user configuration and customization of the integrated security system service as well as monitoring of in-home device status, viewing photos and video, etc. Device and user management can also be performed by this portal application. - A mobile device 206 (e.g., PDA, mobile phone, etc.) accessing the integrated security system Mobile Portal. This type of client 206 is used by end-users to view system status and perform operations on devices (e.g., turning on a lamp, arming a security panel, etc.) rather than for system configuration tasks such as adding a new device or user.
- PC or browser-based “widget”
containers 208 that present integrated security system service content, as well as other third-party content, in simple, targeted ways (e.g. a widget that resides on a PC desktop and shows live video from a single in-home camera). “Widget” as used herein means applications or programs in the system. - Touchscreen
home security keypads 208 and advanced in-home devices that present a variety of content widgets via an intuitive touchscreen user interface. - Notification recipients 210 (e.g., cell phones that receive SMS-based notifications when certain events occur (or don't occur), email clients that receive an email message with similar information, etc.).
- Custom-built clients (not shown) that access the iConnect web services XML API to interact with users' home security and self-monitoring information in new and unique ways. Such clients could include new types of mobile devices, or complex applications where integrated security system content is integrated into a broader set of application features.
- In addition to the end-user clients, the
iConnect servers 104 support PC browser-based Service Management clients that manage the ongoing operation of the overall service. These clients run applications that handle tasks such as provisioning, service monitoring, customer support and reporting. - There are numerous types of server components of the
iConnect servers 104 of an embodiment including, but not limited to, the following: Business Components which manage information about all of the home security and self-monitoring devices; End-User Application Components which display that information for users and access the Business Components via published XML APIs; and Service Management Application Components which enable operators to administer the service (these components also access the Business Components via the XML APIs, and also via published SNMP MIBs). - The server components provide access to, and management of, the objects associated with an integrated security system installation. The top-level object is the “network.” It is a location where a
gateway 102 is located, and is also commonly referred to as a site or premises; the premises can include any type of structure (e.g., home, office, warehouse, etc.) at which agateway 102 is located. Users can only access the networks to which they have been granted permission. Within a network, every object monitored by thegateway 102 is called a device. Devices include the sensors, cameras, home security panels and automation devices, as well as the controller or processor-based device running the gateway applications. - Various types of interactions are possible between the objects in a system. Automations define actions that occur as a result of a change in state of a device. For example, take a picture with the front entry camera when the front door sensor changes to “open”. Notifications are messages sent to users to indicate that something has occurred, such as the front door going to “open” state, or has not occurred (referred to as an iWatch notification). Schedules define changes in device states that are to take place at predefined days and times. For example, set the security panel to “Armed” mode every weeknight at 11:00 pm.
- The iConnect Business Components are responsible for orchestrating all of the low-level service management activities for the integrated security system service. They define all of the users and devices associated with a network (site), analyze how the devices interact, and trigger associated actions (such as sending notifications to users). All changes in device states are monitored and logged. The Business Components also manage all interactions with external systems as required, including sending alarms and other related self-monitoring data to the home security Central Monitoring System (CMS) 199. The Business Components are implemented as portable Java J2EE Servlets, but are not so limited.
- The following iConnect Business Components manage the main elements of the integrated security system service, but the embodiment is not so limited:
-
- A
Registry Manager 220 defines and manages users and networks. This component is responsible for the creation, modification and termination of users and networks. It is also where a user's access to networks is defined. - A
Network Manager 222 defines and manages security and self-monitoring devices that are deployed on a network (site). This component handles the creation, modification, deletion and configuration of the devices, as well as the creation of automations, schedules and notification rules associated with those devices. - A
Data Manager 224 manages access to current and logged state data for an existing network and its devices. This component specifically does not provide any access to network management capabilities, such as adding new devices to a network, which are handled exclusively by theNetwork Manager 222. - To achieve optimal performance for all types of queries, data for current device states is stored separately from historical state data (a.k.a. “logs”) in the database. A Log Data Manager 226 performs ongoing transfers of current device state data to the historical data log tables.
- A
- Additional iConnect Business Components handle direct communications with certain clients and other systems, for example:
-
- An
iHub Manager 228 directly manages all communications with gateway clients, including receiving information about device state changes, changing the configuration of devices, and pushing new versions of the gateway client to the hardware it is running on. - A
Notification Manager 230 is responsible for sending all notifications to clients via SMS (mobile phone messages), email (via a relay server like an SMTP email server), etc. - An Alarm and CMS Manager 232 sends critical server-generated alarm events to the home security Central Monitoring Station (CMS) and manages all other communications of integrated security system service data to and from the CMS.
- The Element Management System (EMS) 234 is an iControl Business Component that manages all activities associated with service installation, scaling and monitoring, and filters and packages service operations data for use by service management applications. The SNMP MIBs published by the EMS can also be incorporated into any third party monitoring system if desired.
- An
- The iConnect Business Components store information about the objects that they manage in the
iControl Service Database 240 and in theiControl Content Store 242. The iControl Content Store is used to store media objects like video, photos and widget content, while the Service Database stores information about users, networks, and devices. Database interaction is performed via a JDBC interface. For security purposes, the Business Components manage all data storage and retrieval. - The iControl Business Components provide web services-based APIs that application components use to access the Business Components' capabilities. Functions of application components include presenting integrated security system service data to end-users, performing administrative duties, and integrating with external systems and back-office applications.
- The primary published APIs for the iConnect Business Components include, but are not limited to, the following:
-
- A
Registry Manager API 252 provides access to the Registry Manager Business Component's functionality, allowing management of networks and users. - A
Network Manager API 254 provides access to the Network Manager Business Component's functionality, allowing management of devices on a network. - A
Data Manager API 256 provides access to the Data Manager Business Component's functionality, such as setting and retrieving (current and historical) data about device states. - A
Provisioning API 258 provides a simple way to create new networks and configure initial default properties.
- A
- Each API of an embodiment includes two modes of access: Java API or XML API. The XML APIs are published as web services so that they can be easily accessed by applications or servers over a network. The Java APIs are a programmer-friendly wrapper for the XML APIs. Application components and integrations written in Java should generally use the Java APIs rather than the XML APIs directly.
- The iConnect Business Components also have an XML-based
interface 260 for quickly adding support for new devices to the integrated security system. Thisinterface 260, referred to asDeviceConnect 260, is a flexible, standards-based mechanism for defining the properties of new devices and how they can be managed. Although the format is flexible enough to allow the addition of any type of future device, pre-defined XML profiles are currently available for adding common types of devices such as sensors (SensorConnect), home security panels (PanelConnect) and IP cameras (CameraConnect). - The iConnect End-User Application Components deliver the user interfaces that run on the different types of clients supported by the integrated security system service. The components are written in portable Java J2EE technology (e.g., as Java Servlets, as JavaServer Pages (JSPs), etc.) and they all interact with the iControl Business Components via the published APIs.
- The following End-User Application Components generate CSS-based HTML/JavaScript that is displayed on the target client. These applications can be dynamically branded with partner-specific logos and URL links (such as Customer Support, etc.). The End-User Application Components of an embodiment include, but are not limited to, the following:
-
- An
iControl Activation Application 270 that delivers the first application that a user sees when they set up the integrated security system service. This wizard-based web browser application securely associates a new user with a purchased gateway and the other devices included with it as a kit (if any). It primarily uses functionality published by the Provisioning API. - An iControl
Web Portal Application 272 runs on PC browsers and delivers the web-based interface to the integrated security system service. This application allows users to manage their networks (e.g. add devices and create automations) as well as to view/change device states, and manage pictures and videos. Because of the wide scope of capabilities of this application, it uses three different Business Component APIs that include the Registry Manager API, Network Manager API, and Data Manager API, but the embodiment is not so limited. - An
iControl Mobile Portal 274 is a small-footprint web-based interface that runs on mobile phones and PDAs. This interface is optimized for remote viewing of device states and pictures/videos rather than network management. As such, its interaction with the Business Components is primarily via the Data Manager API. - Custom portals and targeted client applications can be provided that leverage the same Business Component APIs used by the above applications.
- A Content
Manager Application Component 276 delivers content to a variety of clients. It sends multimedia-rich user interface components to widget container clients (both PC and browser-based), as well as to advanced touchscreen keypad clients. In addition to providing content directly to end-user devices, theContent Manager 276 provides widget-based user interface components to satisfy requests from other Application Components such as theiControl Web 272 andMobile 274 portals.
- An
- A number of Application Components are responsible for overall management of the service. These pre-defined applications, referred to as Service Management Application Components, are configured to offer off-the-shelf solutions for production management of the integrated security system service including provisioning, overall service monitoring, customer support, and reporting, for example. The Service Management Application Components of an embodiment include, but are not limited to, the following:
-
- A
Service Management Application 280 allows service administrators to perform activities associated with service installation, scaling and monitoring/alerting. This application interacts heavily with the Element Management System (EMS) Business Component to execute its functionality, and also retrieves its monitoring data from that component via protocols such as SNMP MIBs. - A
Kitting Application 282 is used by employees performing service provisioning tasks. This application allows home security and self-monitoring devices to be associated with gateways during the warehouse kitting process. - A CSR Application and
Report Generator 284 is used by personnel supporting the integrated security system service, such as CSRs resolving end-user issues and employees enquiring about overall service usage. Pushes of new gateway firmware to deployed gateways is also managed by this application.
- A
- The
iConnect servers 104 also support custom-built integrations with a service provider's existing OSS/BSS, CSR andservice delivery systems 290. Such systems can access the iConnect web services XML API to transfer data to and from theiConnect servers 104. These types of integrations can compliment or replace the PC browser-based Service Management applications, depending on service provider needs. - As described above, the integrated security system of an embodiment includes a gateway, or iHub. The gateway of an embodiment includes a device that is deployed in the home or business and couples or connects the various third-party cameras, home security panels, sensors and devices to the iConnect server over a WAN connection as described in detail herein. The gateway couples to the home network and communicates directly with the home security panel in both wired and wireless sensor installations. The gateway is configured to be low-cost, reliable and thin so that it complements the integrated security system network-based architecture.
- The gateway supports various wireless protocols and can interconnect with a wide range of home security control panels. Service providers and users can then extend the system's capabilities by adding IP cameras, lighting modules and additional security devices. The gateway is configurable to be integrated into many consumer appliances, including set-top boxes, routers and security panels. The small and efficient footprint of the gateway enables this portability and versatility, thereby simplifying and reducing the overall cost of the deployment.
-
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of thegateway 102 including gateway software or applications, under an embodiment. The gateway software architecture is relatively thin and efficient, thereby simplifying its integration into other consumer appliances such as set-top boxes, routers, touch screens and security panels. The software architecture also provides a high degree of security against unauthorized access. This section describes the various key components of the gateway software architecture. - The
gateway application layer 302 is the main program that orchestrates the operations performed by the gateway. TheSecurity Engine 304 provides robust protection against intentional and unintentional intrusion into the integrated security system network from the outside world (both from inside the premises as well as from the WAN). TheSecurity Engine 304 of an embodiment comprises one or more sub-modules or components that perform functions including, but not limited to, the following: -
- Encryption including 128-bit SSL encryption for gateway and iConnect server communication to protect user data privacy and provide secure communication.
- Bi-directional authentication between the gateway and iConnect server in order to prevent unauthorized spoofing and attacks. Data sent from the iConnect server to the gateway application (or vice versa) is digitally signed as an additional layer of security. Digital signing provides both authentication and validation that the data has not been altered in transit.
- Camera SSL encapsulation because picture and video traffic offered by off-the-shelf networked IP cameras is not secure when traveling over the Internet. The gateway provides for 128-bit SSL encapsulation of the user picture and video data sent over the internet for complete user security and privacy.
- 802.11b/g/n with WPA-2 security to ensure that wireless camera communications always takes place using the strongest available protection.
- A gateway-enabled device is assigned a unique activation key for activation with an iConnect server. This ensures that only valid gateway-enabled devices can be activated for use with the specific instance of iConnect server in use. Attempts to activate gateway-enabled devices by brute force are detected by the Security Engine. Partners deploying gateway-enabled devices have the knowledge that only a gateway with the correct serial number and activation key can be activated for use with an iConnect server. Stolen devices, devices attempting to masquerade as gateway-enabled devices, and malicious outsiders (or insiders as knowledgeable but nefarious customers) cannot effect other customers' gateway-enabled devices.
- As standards evolve, and new encryption and authentication methods are proven to be useful, and older mechanisms proven to be breakable, the security manager can be upgraded “over the air” to provide new and better security for communications between the iConnect server and the gateway application, and locally at the premises to remove any risk of eavesdropping on camera communications.
- A Remote
Firmware Download module 306 allows for seamless and secure updates to the gateway firmware through the iControl Maintenance Application on theserver 104, providing a transparent, hassle-free mechanism for the service provider to deploy new features and bug fixes to the installed user base. The firmware download mechanism is tolerant of connection loss, power interruption and user interventions (both intentional and unintentional). Such robustness reduces down time and customer support issues. Gateway firmware can be remotely download either for one gateway at a time, a group of gateways, or in batches. - The
Automations engine 308 manages the user-defined rules of interaction between the different devices (e.g. when door opens turn on the light). Though the automation rules are programmed and reside at the portal/server level, they are cached at the gateway level in order to provide short latency between device triggers and actions. -
DeviceConnect 310 includes definitions of all supported devices (e.g., cameras, security panels, sensors, etc.) using a standardized plug-in architecture. TheDeviceConnect module 310 offers an interface that can be used to quickly add support for any new device as well as enabling interoperability between devices that use different technologies/protocols. For common device types, pre-defined sub-modules have been defined, making supporting new devices of these types even easier.SensorConnect 312 is provided for adding new sensors,CameraConnect 316 for adding IP cameras, andPanelConnect 314 for adding home security panels. - The
Schedules engine 318 is responsible for executing the user defined schedules (e.g., take a picture every five minutes; every day at 8 am set temperature to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, etc.). Though the schedules are programmed and reside at the iConnect server level they are sent to the scheduler within the gateway application. TheSchedules Engine 318 then interfaces withSensorConnect 312 to ensure that scheduled events occur at precisely the desired time. - The
Device Management module 320 is in charge of all discovery, installation and configuration of both wired and wireless IP devices (e.g., cameras, etc.) coupled or connected to the system. Networked IP devices, such as those used in the integrated security system, require user configuration of many IP and security parameters—to simplify the user experience and reduce the customer support burden, the device management module of an embodiment handles the details of this configuration. The device management module also manages the video routing module described below. - The
video routing engine 322 is responsible for delivering seamless video streams to the user with zero-configuration. Through a multi-step, staged approach the video routing engine uses a combination of UPnP port-forwarding, relay server routing and STUN/TURN peer-to-peer routing. -
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of components of thegateway 102, under an embodiment. Depending on the specific set of functionality desired by the service provider deploying the integrated security system service, thegateway 102 can use any of a number ofprocessors 402, due to the small footprint of the gateway application firmware. In an embodiment, the gateway could include the Broadcom BCM5354 as the processor for example. In addition, thegateway 102 includes memory (e.g.,FLASH 404,RAM 406, etc.) and any number of input/output (I/O)ports 408. - Referring to the
WAN portion 410 of thegateway 102, thegateway 102 of an embodiment can communicate with the iConnect server using a number of communication types and/or protocols, forexample Broadband 412,GPRS 414 and/or Public Switched Telephone Network (PTSN) 416 to name a few. In general,broadband communication 412 is the primary means of connection between thegateway 102 and theiConnect server 104 and the GPRS/CDMA 414 and/orPSTN 416 interfaces acts as back-up for fault tolerance in case the user's broadband connection fails for whatever reason, but the embodiment is not so limited. - Referring to the
LAN portion 420 of thegateway 102, various protocols and physical transceivers can be used to communicate to off-the-shelf sensors and cameras. Thegateway 102 is protocol-agnostic and technology-agnostic and as such can easily support almost any device networking protocol. Thegateway 102 can, for example, support GE and Honeywellsecurity RF protocols 422, Z-Wave 424, serial (RS232 and RS485) 426 for direct connection to security panels as well as WiFi 428 (802.11b/g) for communication to WiFi cameras. - The integrated security system includes couplings or connections among a variety of IP devices or components, and the device management module is in charge of the discovery, installation and configuration of the IP devices coupled or connected to the system, as described above. The integrated security system of an embodiment uses a “sandbox” network to discover and manage all IP devices coupled or connected as components of the system. The IP devices of an embodiment include wired devices, wireless devices, cameras, interactive touchscreens, and security panels to name a few. These devices can be wired via ethernet cable or Wifi devices, all of which are secured within the sandbox network, as described below. The “sandbox” network is described in detail below.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram 500 of network or premise device integration with apremise network 250, under an embodiment. In an embodiment, network devices 255-257 are coupled to thegateway 102 using a secure network coupling or connection such as SSL over an encrypted 802.11 link (utilizing for example WPA-2 security for the wireless encryption). The network coupling or connection between thegateway 102 and the network devices 255-257 is a private coupling or connection in that it is segregated from any other network couplings or connections. Thegateway 102 is coupled to the premise router/firewall 252 via a coupling with apremise LAN 250. The premise router/firewall 252 is coupled to abroadband modem 251, and thebroadband modem 251 is coupled to aWAN 200 or other network outside the premise. Thegateway 102 thus enables or forms a separate wireless network, or sub-network, that includes some number of devices and is coupled or connected to theLAN 250 of the host premises. The gateway sub-network can include, but is not limited to, any number of other devices like WiFi IP cameras, security panels (e.g., IP-enabled), and security touchscreens, to name a few. Thegateway 102 manages or controls the sub-network separately from theLAN 250 and transfers data and information between components of the sub-network and theLAN 250/WAN 200, but is not so limited. Additionally,other network devices 254 can be coupled to theLAN 250 without being coupled to thegateway 102. -
FIG. 6 is a block diagram 600 of network or premise device integration with apremise network 250, under an alternative embodiment. The network or premise devices 255-257 are coupled to thegateway 102. The network coupling or connection between thegateway 102 and the network devices 255-257 is a private coupling or connection in that it is segregated from any other network couplings or connections. Thegateway 102 is coupled or connected between the premise router/firewall 252 and thebroadband modem 251. Thebroadband modem 251 is coupled to aWAN 200 or other network outside the premise, while the premise router/firewall 252 is coupled to apremise LAN 250. As a result of its location between the broadband modern 251 and the premise router/firewall 252, thegateway 102 can be configured or function as the premise router routing specified data between the outside network (e.g., WAN 200) and the premise router/firewall 252 of theLAN 250. As described above, thegateway 102 in this configuration enables or forms a separate wireless network, or sub-network, that includes the network or premise devices 255-257 and is coupled or connected between theLAN 250 of the host premises and theWAN 200. The gateway sub-network can include, but is not limited to, any number of network or premise devices 255-257 like WiFi IP cameras, security panels (e.g., IP-enabled), and security touchscreens, to name a few. Thegateway 102 manages or controls the sub-network separately from theLAN 250 and transfers data and information between components of the sub-network and theLAN 250/WAN 200, but is not so limited. Additionally,other network devices 254 can be coupled to theLAN 250 without being coupled to thegateway 102. - The examples described above with reference to
FIGS. 5 and 6 are presented only as examples of IP device integration. The integrated security system is not limited to the type, number and/or combination of IP devices shown and described in these examples, and any type, number and/or combination of IP devices is contemplated within the scope of this disclosure as capable of being integrated with the premise network. - The integrated security system of an embodiment includes a touchscreen (also referred to as the iControl touchscreen or integrated security system touchscreen), as described above, which provides core security keypad functionality, content management and presentation, and embedded systems design. The networked security touchscreen system of an embodiment enables a consumer or security provider to easily and automatically install, configure and manage the security system and touchscreen located at a customer premise. Using this system the customer may access and control the local security system, local IP devices such as cameras, local sensors and control devices (such as lighting controls or pipe freeze sensors), as well as the local security system panel and associated security sensors (such as door/window, motion, and smoke detectors). The customer premise may be a home, business, and/or other location equipped with a wired or wireless broadband IP connection.
- The system of an embodiment includes a touchscreen with a configurable software user interface and/or a gateway device (e.g., iHub) that couples or connects to a premise security panel through a wired or wireless connection, and a remote server that provides access to content and information from the premises devices to a user when they are remote from the home. The touchscreen supports broadband and/or WAN wireless connectivity. In this embodiment, the touchscreen incorporates an IP broadband connection (e.g., Wifi radio, Ethernet port, etc.), and/or a cellular radio (e.g., GPRS/GSM, CDMA, WiMax, etc.). The touchscreen described herein can be used as one or more of a security system interface panel and a network user interface (UI) that provides an interface to interact with a network (e.g., LAN, WAN, internet, etc.).
- The touchscreen of an embodiment provides an integrated touchscreen and security panel as an all-in-one device. Once integrated using the touchscreen, the touchscreen and a security panel of a premise security system become physically co-located in one device, and the functionality of both may even be co-resident on the same CPU and memory (though this is not required).
- The touchscreen of an embodiment also provides an integrated IP video and touchscreen UI. As such, the touchscreen supports one or more standard video CODECs/players (e.g., H.264, Flash Video, MOV, MPEG4, M-JPEG, etc.). The touchscreen UI then provides a mechanism (such as a camera or video widget) to play video. In an embodiment the video is streamed live from an IP video camera. In other embodiments the video comprises video clips or photos sent from an IP camera or from a remote location.
- The touchscreen of an embodiment provides a configurable user interface system that includes a configuration supporting use as a security touchscreen. In this embodiment, the touchscreen utilizes a modular user interface that allows components to be modified easily by a service provider, an installer, or even the end user. Examples of such a modular approach include using Flash widgets, HTML-based widgets, or other downloadable code modules such that the user interface of the touchscreen can be updated and modified while the application is running. In an embodiment the touchscreen user interface modules can be downloaded over the internet. For example, a new security configuration widget can be downloaded from a standard web server, and the touchscreen then loads such configuration app into memory, and inserts it in place of the old security configuration widget. The touchscreen of an embodiment is configured to provide a self-install user interface.
- Embodiments of the networked security touchscreen system described herein include a touchscreen device with a user interface that includes a security toolbar providing one or more functions including arm, disarm, panic, medic, and alert. The touchscreen therefore includes at least one screen having a separate region of the screen dedicated to a security toolbar. The security toolbar of an embodiment is present in the dedicated region at all times that the screen is active.
- The touchscreen of an embodiment includes a home screen having a separate region of the screen allocated to managing home-based functions. The home-based functions of an embodiment include managing, viewing, and/or controlling IP video cameras. In this embodiment, regions of the home screen are allocated in the form of widget icons; these widget icons (e.g. for cameras, thermostats, lighting, etc) provide functionality for managing home systems. So, for example, a displayed camera icon, when selected, launches a Camera Widget, and the Camera widget in turn provides access to video from one or more cameras, as well as providing the user with relevant camera controls (take a picture, focus the camera, etc.)
- The touchscreen of an embodiment includes a home screen having a separate region of the screen allocated to managing, viewing, and/or controlling internet-based content or applications. For example, the Widget Manager UI presents a region of the home screen (up to and including the entire home screen) where internet widgets icons such as weather, sports, etc. may be accessed). Each of these icons may be selected to launch their respective content services.
- The touchscreen of an embodiment is integrated into a premise network using the gateway, as described above. The gateway as described herein functions to enable a separate wireless network, or sub-network, that is coupled, connected, or integrated with another network (e.g., WAN, LAN of the host premises, etc.). The sub-network enabled by the gateway optimizes the installation process for IP devices, like the touchscreen, that couple or connect to the sub-network by segregating these IP devices from other such devices on the network. This segregation of the IP devices of the sub-network further enables separate security and privacy policies to be implemented for these IP devices so that, where the IP devices are dedicated to specific functions (e.g., security), the security and privacy policies can be tailored specifically for the specific functions. Furthermore, the gateway and the sub-network it forms enables the segregation of data traffic, resulting in faster and more efficient data flow between components of the host network, components of the sub-network, and between components of the sub-network and components of the network.
- The touchscreen of an embodiment includes a core functional embedded system that includes an embedded operating system, required hardware drivers, and an open system interface to name a few. The core functional embedded system can be provided by or as a component of a conventional security system (e.g., security system available from GE Security). These core functional units are used with components of the integrated security system as described herein. Note that portions of the touchscreen description below may include reference to a host premise security system (e.g., GE security system), but these references are included only as an example and do not limit the touchscreen to integration with any particular security system.
- As an example, regarding the core functional embedded system, a reduced memory footprint version of embedded Linux forms the core operating system in an embodiment, and provides basic TCP/IP stack and memory management functions, along with a basic set of low-level graphics primitives. A set of device drivers is also provided or included that offer low-level hardware and network interfaces. In addition to the standard drivers, an interface to the
RS 485 bus is included that couples or connects to the security system panel (e.g., GE Concord panel). The interface may, for example, implement the Superbus 2000 protocol, which can then be utilized by the more comprehensive transaction-level security functions implemented in PanelConnect technology (e.g SetAlarmLevel (int level, int partition, char *accessCode)). Power control drivers are also provided. -
FIG. 7A is a block diagram of atouchscreen 700 of the integrated security system, under an embodiment. Thetouchscreen 700 generally includes an application/presentation layer 702 with aresident application 704, and acore engine 706. Thetouchscreen 700 also includes one or more of the following, but is not so limited: applications ofpremium services 710,widgets 712, acaching proxy 714,network security 716,network interface 718,security object 720,applications supporting devices 722,PanelConnect API 724, agateway interface 726, and one ormore ports 728. - More specifically, the touchscreen, when configured as a home security device, includes but is not limited to the following application or software modules:
RS 485 and/or RS-232 bus security protocols to conventional home security system panel (e.g., GE Concord panel); functional home security classes and interfaces (e.g., Panel ARM state, Sensor status, etc.); Application/Presentation layer or engine; Resident Application; Consumer Home Security Application; installer home security application; core engine; and System bootloader/Software Updater. The core Application engine and system bootloader can also be used to support other advanced content and applications. This provides a seamless interaction between the premise security application and other optional services such as weather widgets or IP cameras. - An alternative configuration of the touchscreen includes a first Application engine for premise security and a second Application engine for all other applications. The integrated security system application engine supports content standards such as HTML, XML, Flash, etc. and enables a rich consumer experience for all ‘widgets’, whether security-based or not. The touchscreen thus provides service providers the ability to use web content creation and management tools to build and download any ‘widgets’ regardless of their functionality.
- As discussed above, although the Security Applications have specific low-level functional requirements in order to interface with the premise security system, these applications make use of the same fundamental application facilities as any other ‘widget’, application facilities that include graphical layout, interactivity, application handoff, screen management, and network interfaces, to name a few.
- Content management in the touchscreen provides the ability to leverage conventional web development tools, performance optimized for an embedded system, service provider control of accessible content, content reliability in a consumer device, and consistency between ‘widgets’ and seamless widget operational environment. In an embodiment of the integrated security system, widgets are created by web developers and hosted on the integrated security system Content Manager (and stored in the Content Store database). In this embodiment the server component caches the widgets and offers them to consumers through the web-based integrated security system provisioning system. The servers interact with the advanced touchscreen using HTTPS interfaces controlled by the core engine and dynamically download widgets and updates as needed to be cached on the touchscreen. In other embodiments widgets can be accessed directly over a network such as the Internet without needing to go through the iControl Content Manager.
- Referring to
FIG. 7A , the touchscreen system of an embodiment is built on a tiered architecture, with defined interfaces between the Application/Presentation Layer 702 (the Application Engine) on the top, theCore Engine 706 in the middle, and thesecurity panel API 724 andgateway API 728 at the lower level. The architecture is configured to provide maximum flexibility and ease of maintenance. - The touchscreen of an embodiment is a modular touchscreen platform that enables dynamic reconfiguration of the touchscreen for different functions or functionality. The touchscreen platform of an embodiment includes the touchscreen display and one or more modules that each enable different functions in the touchscreen platform. Each module is removeably coupled (e.g., plug-in, etc.) to the touchscreen, but is not so limited. The modules therefore provide different functionality through the touchscreen depending on current needs of the user. The touchscreen platform can be used as an in-home consumer touchscreen with uses including, for example, home management, including energy management, security, surveillance, health monitoring, elder care and other consumer applications, to name a few.
- The touchscreen platform of an embodiment enables the provision of new features and capabilities via the touchscreen through the use of different modules that interface and function with a common touchscreen or display platform. The modules can be connected to or disconnected from the touchscreen by a user and do not require any reconfiguration of the touchscreen by the user. In this manner, new modules supporting new functionality can be produced and used by the user with the touchscreen without any need to replace the touchscreen. The modules can be stand-alone modules or, alternatively, the modules can communicate with a remote device and/or system to provide desired functionality.
- The touchscreen platform includes a display device having a receptacle or region that accepts or receives a module. The module includes the circuitry, hardware, and/or firmware to support a function that corresponds to the module. Modules can support any desired functionality without impacting the size, weight or cost of the base display unit. For example a security module enables the touchscreen platform with security panel functionality such that the touchscreen functions as a security system, or interfaces with a security system. The modules can also enable the touchscreen platform with functionality or features corresponding to a thermostat, energy management device, rechargeable battery support, elder-care monitoring, and/or remote health monitoring device, to name just a few.

FIG. 8 is anexample screenshot 800 of a networked security touchscreen, under an embodiment. Thisexample screenshot 800 includes three interfaces or user interface (UI) components 802-806, but is not so limited. Afirst UI 802 of the touchscreen includes icons by which a user controls or accesses functions and/or components of the security system (e.g., “Main”, “Panic”, “Medic”, “Fire”, state of the premise alarm system (e.g., disarmed, armed, etc.), etc.); thefirst UI 802, which is also referred to herein as a security interface, is always presented on the touchscreen. Asecond UI 804 of the touchscreen includes icons by which a user selects or interacts with services and other network content (e.g., clock, calendar, weather, stocks, news, sports, photos, maps, music, etc.) that is accessible via the touchscreen. Thesecond UI 804 is also referred to herein as a network interface or content interface. Athird UI 806 of the touchscreen includes icons by which a user selects or interacts with additional services or components (e.g., intercom control, security, cameras coupled to the system in particular regions (e.g., front door, baby, etc.) available via the touchscreen. - A component of the application engine is the Presentation Engine, which includes a set of libraries that implement the standards-based widget content (e.g., XML, HTML, JavaScript, Flash) layout and interactivity. This engine provides the widget with interfaces to dynamically load both graphics and application logic from third parties, support high level data description language as well as standard graphic formats. The set of web content-based functionality available to a widget developer is extended by specific touchscreen functions implemented as local web services by the Core Engine.
- The resident application of the touchscreen is the master service that controls the interaction of all widgets in the system, and enforces the business and security rules required by the service provider. For example, the resident application determines the priority of widgets, thereby enabling a home security widget to override resource requests from a less critical widget (e.g. a weather widget). The resident application also monitors widget behavior, and responds to client or server requests for cache updates.
- The core engine of the touchscreen manages interaction with other components of the integrated security system, and provides an interface through which the resident application and authorized widgets can get information about the home security system, set alarms, install sensors, etc. At the lower level, the Core Engine's main interactions are through the PanelConnect API, which handles all communication with the security panel, and the gateway Interface, which handles communication with the gateway. In an embodiment, both the iHub Interface and PanelConnect API are resident and operating on the touchscreen. In another embodiment, the PanelConnect API runs on the gateway or other device that provides security system interaction and is accessed by the touchscreen through a web services interface.
- The Core Engine also handles application and service level persistent and cached memory functions, as well as the dynamic provisioning of content and widgets, including but not limited to: flash memory management, local widget and content caching, widget version management (download, cache flush new/old content versions), as well as the caching and synchronization of user preferences. As a portion of these services the Core engine incorporates the bootloader functionality that is responsible for maintaining a consistent software image on the touchscreen, and acts as the client agent for all software updates. The bootloader is configured to ensure full update redundancy so that unsuccessful downloads cannot corrupt the integrated security system.
- Video management is provided as a set of web services by the Core Engine. Video management includes the retrieval and playback of local video feeds as well as remote control and management of cameras (all through iControl CameraConnect technology).
- Both the high level application layer and the mid-level core engine of the touchscreen can make calls to the network. Any call to the network made by the application layer is automatically handed off to a local caching proxy, which determines whether the request should be handled locally. Many of the requests from the application layer are web services API requests; although such requests could be satisfied by the iControl servers, they are handled directly by the touchscreen and the gateway. Requests that get through the caching proxy are checked against a white list of acceptable sites, and, if they match, are sent off through the network interface to the gateway. Included in the Network Subsystem is a set of network services including HTTP, HTTPS, and server-level authentication functions to manage the secure client-server interface. Storage and management of certificates is incorporated as a part of the network services layer.
- Server components of the integrated security system servers support interactive content services on the touchscreen. These server components include, but are not limited to the content manager, registry manager, network manager, and global registry, each of which is described herein.
- The Content Manager oversees aspects of handling widget data and raw content on the touchscreen. Once created and validated by the service provider, widgets are ‘ingested’ to the Content Manager, and then become available as downloadable services through the integrated security system Content Management APIs. The Content manager maintains versions and timestamp information, and connects to the raw data contained in the backend Content Store database. When a widget is updated (or new content becomes available) all clients registering interest in a widget are systematically updated as needed (a process that can be configured at an account, locale, or system-wide level).
- The Registry Manager handles user data, and provisioning accounts, including information about widgets the user has decided to install, and the user preferences for these widgets.
- The Network Manager handles getting and setting state for all devices on the integrated security system network (e.g., sensors, panels, cameras, etc.). The Network manager synchronizes with the gateway, the advanced touchscreen, and the subscriber database.
- The Global Registry is a primary starting point server for all client services, and is a logical referral service that abstracts specific server locations/addresses from clients (touchscreen,
gateway 102, desktop widgets, etc.). This approach enables easy scaling/migration of server farms. - The touchscreen of an embodiment operates wirelessly with a premise security system. The touchscreen of an embodiment incorporates an RF transceiver component that either communicates directly with the sensors and/or security panel over the panel's proprietary RF frequency, or the touchscreen communicates wirelessly to the gateway over 802.11, Ethernet, or other IP-based communications channel, as described in detail herein. In the latter case the gateway implements the PanelConnect interface and communicates directly to the security panel and/or sensors over wireless or wired networks as described in detail above.
- The touchscreen of an embodiment is configured to operate with multiple security systems through the use of an abstracted security system interface. In this embodiment, the PanelConnect API can be configured to support a plurality of proprietary security system interfaces, either simultaneously or individually as described herein. In one embodiment of this approach, the touchscreen incorporates multiple physical interfaces to security panels (e.g. GE Security RS-485, Honeywell RF, etc.) in addition to the PanelConnect API implemented to support multiple security interfaces. The change needed to support this in PanelConnect is a configuration parameter specifying the panel type connection that is being utilized.
- So for example, the setARMState( ) function is called with an additional parameter (e.g., Armstate=setARMState(type=”ARM STAY|ARM AWAY|DISARM”, Parameters=”ExitDelay=30|Lights=OFF”, panelType=”GE Concord4 RS485”)). The ‘panelType’ parameter is used by the setARMState function (and in practice by all of the PanelConnect functions) to select an algorithm appropriate to the specific panel out of a plurality of algorithms.
- The touchscreen of an embodiment is self-installable. Consequently, the touchscreen provides a ‘wizard’ approach similar to that used in traditional computer installations (e.g. InstallShield). The wizard can be resident on the touchscreen, accessible through a web interface, or both. In one embodiment of a touchscreen self-installation process, the service provider can associate devices (sensors, touchscreens, security panels, lighting controls, etc.) remotely using a web-based administrator interface.
- The touchscreen of an embodiment includes a battery backup system for a security touchscreen. The touchscreen incorporates a standard Li-ion or other battery and charging circuitry to allow continued operation in the event of a power outage. In an embodiment the battery is physically located and connected within the touchscreen enclosure. In another embodiment the battery is located as a part of the power transformer, or in between the power transformer and the touchscreen.
- The example configurations of the integrated security system described above with reference to
FIGS. 5 and 6 include a gateway that is a separate device, and the touchscreen couples to the gateway. However, in an alternative embodiment, the gateway device and its functionality can be incorporated into the touchscreen so that the device management module, which is now a component of or included in the touchscreen, is in charge of the discovery, installation and configuration of the IP devices coupled or connected to the system, as described above. The integrated security system with the integrated touchscreen/gateway uses the same “sandbox” network to discover and manage all IP devices coupled or connected as components of the system. - The touchscreen of this alternative embodiment integrates the components of the gateway with the components of the touchscreen as described herein. More specifically, the touchscreen of this alternative embodiment includes software or applications described above with reference to
FIG. 3 . In this alternative embodiment, the touchscreen includes thegateway application layer 302 as the main program that orchestrates the operations performed by the gateway. ASecurity Engine 304 of the touchscreen provides robust protection against intentional and unintentional intrusion into the integrated security system network from the outside world (both from inside the premises as well as from the WAN). TheSecurity Engine 304 of an embodiment comprises one or more sub-modules or components that perform functions including, but not limited to, the following: -
- Encryption including 128-bit SSL encryption for gateway and iConnect server communication to protect user data privacy and provide secure communication.
- Bi-directional authentication between the touchscreen and iConnect server in order to prevent unauthorized spoofing and attacks. Data sent from the iConnect server to the gateway application (or vice versa) is digitally signed as an additional layer of security. Digital signing provides both authentication and validation that the data has not been altered in transit.
- Camera SSL encapsulation because picture and video traffic offered by off-the-shelf networked IP cameras is not secure when traveling over the Internet. The touchscreen provides for 128-bit SSL encapsulation of the user picture and video data sent over the internet for complete user security and privacy.
- 802.11b/g/n with WPA-2 security to ensure that wireless camera communications always takes place using the strongest available protection.
- A touchscreen-enabled device is assigned a unique activation key for activation with an iConnect server. This ensures that only valid gateway-enabled devices can be activated for use with the specific instance of iConnect server in use. Attempts to activate gateway-enabled devices by brute force are detected by the Security Engine. Partners deploying touchscreen-enabled devices have the knowledge that only a gateway with the correct serial number and activation key can be activated for use with an iConnect server. Stolen devices, devices attempting to masquerade as gateway-enabled devices, and malicious outsiders (or insiders as knowledgeable but nefarious customers) cannot effect other customers' gateway-enabled devices.
- As standards evolve, and new encryption and authentication methods are proven to be useful, and older mechanisms proven to be breakable, the security manager can be upgraded “over the air” to provide new and better security for communications between the iConnect server and the gateway application, and locally at the premises to remove any risk of eavesdropping on camera communications.
- A Remote
Firmware Download module 306 of the touchscreen allows for seamless and secure updates to the gateway firmware through the iControl Maintenance Application on theserver 104, providing a transparent, hassle-free mechanism for the service provider to deploy new features and bug fixes to the installed user base. The firmware download mechanism is tolerant of connection loss, power interruption and user interventions (both intentional and unintentional). Such robustness reduces down time and customer support issues. Touchscreen firmware can be remotely download either for one touchscreen at a time, a group of touchscreen, or in batches. - The
Automations engine 308 of the touchscreen manages the user-defined rules of interaction between the different devices (e.g. when door opens turn on the light). Though the automation rules are programmed and reside at the portal/server level, they are cached at the gateway level in order to provide short latency between device triggers and actions. -
DeviceConnect 310 of the touchscreen touchscreen includes definitions of all supported devices (e.g., cameras, security panels, sensors, etc.) using a standardized plug-in architecture. TheDeviceConnect module 310 offers an interface that can be used to quickly add support for any new device as well as enabling interoperability between devices that use different technologies/protocols. For common device types, pre-defined sub-modules have been defined, making supporting new devices of these types even easier.SensorConnect 312 is provided for adding new sensors,CameraConnect 316 for adding IP cameras, andPanelConnect 314 for adding home security panels. - The
Schedules engine 318 of the touchscreen is responsible for executing the user defined schedules (e.g., take a picture every five minutes; every day at 8 am set temperature to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, etc.). Though the schedules are programmed and reside at the iConnect server level they are sent to the scheduler within the gateway application of the touchscreen. TheSchedules Engine 318 then interfaces withSensorConnect 312 to ensure that scheduled events occur at precisely the desired time. - The
Device Management module 320 of the touchscreen is in charge of all discovery, installation and configuration of both wired and wireless IP devices (e.g., cameras, etc.) coupled or connected to the system. Networked IP devices, such as those used in the integrated security system, require user configuration of many IP and security parameters, and the device management module of an embodiment handles the details of this configuration. The device management module also manages the video routing module described below. - The
video routing engine 322 of the touchscreen is responsible for delivering seamless video streams to the user with zero-configuration. Through a multi-step, staged approach the video routing engine uses a combination of UPnP port-forwarding, relay server routing and STUN/TURN peer-to-peer routing. -
FIG. 9 is a block diagram 900 of network or premise device integration with apremise network 250, under an embodiment. In an embodiment,network devices touchscreen 902 using a secure network connection such as SSL over an encrypted 802.11 link (utilizing for example WPA-2 security for the wireless encryption), and thetouchscreen 902 coupled to the premise router/firewall 252 via a coupling with apremise LAN 250. The premise router/firewall 252 is coupled to abroadband modem 251, and thebroadband modem 251 is coupled to aWAN 200 or other network outside the premise. Thetouchscreen 902 thus enables or forms a separate wireless network, or sub-network, that includes some number of devices and is coupled or connected to theLAN 250 of the host premises. The touchscreen sub-network can include, but is not limited to, any number of other devices like WiFi IP cameras, security panels (e.g., IP-enabled), and IP devices, to name a few. Thetouchscreen 902 manages or controls the sub-network separately from theLAN 250 and transfers data and information between components of the sub-network and theLAN 250/WAN 200, but is not so limited. Additionally,other network devices 254 can be coupled to theLAN 250 without being coupled to thetouchscreen 902. -
FIG. 10 is a block diagram 1000 of network or premise device integration with apremise network 250, under an alternative embodiment. The network orpremise devices touchscreen 1002, and thetouchscreen 1002 is coupled or connected between the premise router/firewall 252 and thebroadband modem 251. Thebroadband modem 251 is coupled to aWAN 200 or other network outside the premise, while the premise router/firewall 252 is coupled to apremise LAN 250. As a result of its location between thebroadband modem 251 and the premise router/firewall 252, thetouchscreen 1002 can be configured or function as the premise router routing specified data between the outside network (e.g., WAN 200) and the premise router/firewall 252 of theLAN 250. As described above, thetouchscreen 1002 in this configuration enables or forms a separate wireless network, or sub-network, that includes the network orpremise devices LAN 250 of the host premises and theWAN 200. The touchscreen sub-network can include, but is not limited to, any number of network orpremise devices touchscreen 1002 manages or controls the sub-network separately from theLAN 250 and transfers data and information between components of the sub-network and theLAN 250/WAN 200, but is not so limited. Additionally,other network devices 254 can be coupled to theLAN 250 without being coupled to thetouchscreen 1002. - The gateway of an embodiment, whether a stand-along component or integrated with a touchscreen, enables couplings or connections and thus the flow or integration of information between various components of the host premises and various types and/or combinations of IP devices, where the components of the host premises include a network (e.g., LAN) and/or a security system or subsystem to name a few. Consequently, the gateway controls the association between and the flow of information or data between the components of the host premises. For example, the gateway of an embodiment forms a sub-network coupled to another network (e.g., WAN, LAN, etc.), with the sub-network including IP devices. The gateway further enables the association of the IP devices of the sub-network with appropriate systems on the premises (e.g., security system, etc.). Therefore, for example, the gateway can form a sub-network of IP devices configured for security functions, and associate the sub-network only with the premises security system, thereby segregating the IP devices dedicated to security from other IP devices that may be coupled to another network on the premises.
- In an example embodiment,
FIG. 11 is a flow diagram 1100 for integration or installation of an IP device into a private network environment, under an embodiment. The IP device includes any IP-capable device which, for example, includes the touchscreen of an embodiment. The variables of an embodiment set at time of installation include, but are not limited to, one or more of a private SSID/Password, a gateway identifier, a security panel identifier, a user account TS, and a Central Monitoring Station account identification. - An embodiment of the IP device discovery and management begins with a user or installer activating 1102 the gateway and initiating 1104 the install mode of the system. This places the gateway in an install mode. Once in install mode, the gateway shifts to a default (Install) Wifi configuration. This setting will match the default setting for other integrated security system-enabled devices that have been pre-configured to work with the integrated security system. The gateway will then begin to provide 1106 DHCP addresses for these IP devices. Once the devices have acquired a new DHCP address from the gateway, those devices are available for configuration into a new secured Wifi network setting.
- The user or installer of the system selects 1108 all devices that have been identified as available for inclusion into the integrated security system. The user may select these devices by their unique IDs via a web page, Touchscreen, or other client interface. The gateway provides 1110 data as appropriate to the devices. Once selected, the devices are configured 1112 with appropriate secured Wifi settings, including SSID and WPA/WPA-2 keys that are used once the gateway switches back to the secured sandbox configuration from the “Install” settings. Other settings are also configured as appropriate for that type of device. Once all devices have been configured, the user is notified and the user can exit install mode. At this point all devices will have been registered 1114 with the integrated security system servers.
- The installer switches 1116 the gateway to an operational mode, and the gateway instructs or directs 1118 all newly configured devices to switch to the “secured” Wifi sandbox settings. The gateway then switches 1120 to the “secured” Wifi settings. Once the devices identify that the gateway is active on the “secured” network, they request new DHCP addresses from the gateway which, in response, provides 1122 the new addresses. The devices with the new addresses are then operational 1124 on the secured network.
- In order to ensure the highest level of security on the secured network, the gateway can create or generate a dynamic network security configuration based on the unique ID and private key in the gateway, coupled with a randomizing factor that can be based on online time or other inputs. This guarantees the uniqueness of the gateway secured network configuration.
- To enable the highest level of performance, the gateway analyzes the RF spectrum of the 802.11x network and determines which frequency band/channel it should select to run.
- An alternative embodiment of the camera/IP device management process leverages the local ethernet connection of the sandbox network on the gateway. This alternative process is similar to the Wifi discovery embodiment described above, except the user connects the targeted device to the ethernet port of the sandbox network to begin the process. This alternative embodiment accommodates devices that have not been pre-configured with the default “Install” configuration for the integrated security system.
- This alternative embodiment of the IP device discovery and management begins with the user/installer placing the system into install mode. The user is instructed to attach an IP device to be installed to the sandbox Ethernet port of the gateway. The IP device requests a DHCP address from the gateway which, in response to the request, provides the address. The user is presented the device and is asked if he/she wants to install the device. If yes, the system configures the device with the secured Wifi settings and other device-specific settings (e.g., camera settings for video length, image quality etc.). The user is next instructed to disconnect the device from the ethernet port. The device is now available for use on the secured sandbox network.

FIG. 12 is a block diagram showing communications among integrated IP devices of the private network environment, under an embodiment. The IP devices of this example include asecurity touchscreen 1203, gateway 1202 (e.g., “iHub”), and security panel (e.g., “Security Panel 1”, “Security Panel 2”, “Security Panel n”), but the embodiment is not so limited. In alternative embodiments any number and/or combination of these three primary component types may be combined with other components including IP devices and/or security system components. For example, a single device which comprises an integrated gateway, touchscreen, and security panel is merely another embodiment of the integrated security system described herein. The description that follows includes an example configuration that includes a touchscreen hosting particular applications. However, the embodiment is not limited to the touchscreen hosting these applications, and the touchscreen should be thought of as representing any IP device. - Referring to
FIG. 12 , thetouchscreen 1203 incorporates an application 1210 that is implemented as computer code resident on the touchscreen operating system, or as a web-based application running in a browser, or as another type of scripted application (e.g., Flash, Java, Visual Basic, etc.). The touchscreen core application 1210 represents this application, providing user interface and logic for the end user to manage their security system or to gain access to networked information or content (Widgets). The touchscreen core application 1210 in turn accesses a library or libraries of functions to control the local hardware (e.g. screen display, sound, LEDs, memory, etc.) as well as specialized librarie(s) to couple or connect to the security system. - In an embodiment of this security system connection, the
touchscreen 1203 communicates to thegateway 1202, and has no direct communication with the security panel. In this embodiment, the touchscreen core application 1210 accesses theremote service APIs 1212 which provide security system functionality (e.g. ARM/DISARM panel, sensor state, get/set panel configuration parameters, initiate or get alarm events, etc.). In an embodiment, theremote service APIs 1212 implement one or more of the following functions, but the embodiment is not so limited: Armstate=setARMState(type=”ARM STAY|ARM AWAY|DISARM”, Parameters=”ExitDelay=30|Lights=OFF”); sensorState=getSensors(type=”ALL|SensorName|SensorNameList”); result=setSensorState(SensorName, parameters=”Option1, Options2, . . . Option n”); interruptHandler=SensorEvent( ); and, interruptHandler=alarmEvent( ). - Functions of the
remote service APIs 1212 of an embodiment use aremote PanelConnect API 1224 which which resides in memory on thegateway 1202. Thetouchscreen 1203 communicates with thegateway 1202 through a suitable network interface such as an Ethernet or 802.11 RF connection, for example. Theremote PanelConnect API 1224 provides the underlying Security System Interfaces 1226 used to communicate with and control one or more types of security panel viawired link 1230 and/orRF link 3. ThePanelConnect API 1224 provides responses and input to theremote services APIs 1226, and in turn translates function calls and data to and from the specific protocols and functions supported by a specific implementation of a Security Panel (e.g. a GE Security Simon XT or Honeywell Vista 20P). In an embodiment, thePanelConnect API 1224 uses a 345 MHz RF transceiver or receiver hardware/firmware module to communicate wirelessly to the security panel and directly to a set of 345 MHz RF-enabled sensors and devices, but the embodiment is not so limited. - The gateway of an alternative embodiment communicates over a wired physical coupling or connection to the security panel using the panel's specific wired hardware (bus) interface and the panel's bus-level protocol.
- In an alternative embodiment, the
Touchscreen 1203 implements the same PanelConnect API 1214 locally on theTouchscreen 1203, communicating directly with theSecurity Panel 2 and/orSensors 2 over the proprietary RF link or over a wired link for that system. In this embodiment theTouchscreen 1203, instead of thegateway 1202, incorporates the 345 MHz RF transceiver to communicate directly withSecurity Panel 2 orSensors 2 over theRF link 2. In the case of a wired link theTouchscreen 1203 incorporates the real-time hardware (e.g. a PIC chip and RS232-variant serial link) to physically connect to and satisfy the specific bus-level timing requirements of the SecurityPanel2. - In yet another alternative embodiment, either the
gateway 1202 or theTouchscreen 1203 implements the remote service APIs. This embodiment includes a Cricket device (“Cricket”) which comprises but is not limited to the following components: a processor (suitable for handling 802.11 protocols and processing, as well as the bus timing requirements of SecurityPanel1); an 802.11 (WiFi) client IP interface chip; and, a serial bus interface chip that implements variants of RS232 or RS485, depending on the specific Security Panel. - The Cricket also implements the full PanelConnect APIs such that it can perform the same functions as the case where the gateway implements the PanelConnect APIs. In this embodiment, the touchscreen core application 1210 calls functions in the remote service APIs 1212 (such as setArmState( )). These functions in turn couple or connect to the remote Cricket through a standard IP connection (“Cricket IP Link”) (e.g., Ethernet, Homeplug, the gateway's proprietary Wifi network, etc.). The Cricket in turn implements the PanelConnect API, which responds to the request from the touchscreen core application, and performs the appropriate function using the proprietary panel interface. This interface uses either the wireless or wired proprietary protocol for the specific security panel and/or sensors.
- An example use case that illustrates the use of the touchscreen embodiments described above is a panic alarm.
FIG. 13 is a data flow diagram for apanic alarm 1300, under an embodiment. In order to activate a panic alarm on the touchscreen, the user presses one of the panic alarm buttons, and confirms the alarm with a second button press (Step 1). When the alarm is activated, inStep 2 the touchscreen sends the alarm signal to both the security panel and the gateway (using the PanelConnect or remote Svc API interface described above). - In
Step 3, the security panel alerts other keypads and touchscreens (once again through the PanelConnect interface) of the alarm condition, and flashes lights/sounds sirens as appropriate. The gateway or security panel calls the CMS on the hard-wired phone line. Simultaneously, the gateway sends a signal to the iConnect Server system over the broadband connection and, if so configured, uses GPRS to call a cell phone relay station with the alarm data. InStep 4, the iConnect Server system routes the information, formatted using an industry standard alarm format such as ContactID or SIA, to a suitable broadband receiver in the CMS (for example the DSC Surguard broadband alarm receiver, or directly to the CMS automation software server). At the same time, inStep 5 the server system will also call a phone, send an SMS message, or send an email to any designated receiver. - The second example use case involving the touchscreen is a device installation example.
FIG. 14 is a data flow diagram fordevice installation 1400, under an embodiment. To make installation easier, the user can receive feedback from the touchscreen about what devices have been programmed in to the system, and the system automatically couples or connects to the CMS to configure the sensors on the back end. - As a data flow, in
Step 1 the installer initiates entry into sensor learning mode by activating the installation UI on the touchscreen. When the installer triggers or otherwise activates a sensor inStep 2, the gateway picks up the wireless communication from the sensor and pushes information about the sensor to the touchscreen (Step 3). At this point, the installer can program the specific name of the sensor and its zones. This process is repeated for all of the sensors in the system. Once all sensors have been ‘learned’ in this way, the information is transmitted via interne or cellular IP networks to the iConnect server. The sensor information is associated with a ‘network’ (e.g., a location), but has not yet been associated with a specific user or account. After this step, the installer then creates a user account, and the previously created network is then associated with that account in the iConnect user database. This embodiment allows systems, devices, touchscreens, panels, and the like to be pre-associated, packaged, and/or installed without reference to a user or subscriber account. - To ensure that the security system is operating properly, it is next put into test mode. As the installer opens and closes the sensor, the touchscreen places a ‘check’ next to the name of the sensor. At the same time, in
Step 4 the gateway pushes the open/close information to the iConnect servers, which alert the CMS to verify that a signal has been received for the sensor on the back end. InStep 5, the CMS acknowledges that the sensor has been installed correctly and is operational, and that acknowledgement is pushed back through the system. When the system installation is finished, the iConnect servers send a notification of the installation, along with sensor set up information, and electronic verification of the test process for all sensors to the service provider. - Yet another example use case involving the touchscreen is a camera event.
FIG. 15 is a data flow diagram for acamera event 1500, under an embodiment. Cameras can be integrated with alerts that are generated by sensor events. For example, a consumer who wishes to see who is at her front door would set up the front door sensor to trigger an iControl Notification to the touchscreen, signifying a camera alert. When the sensor is activated, a pop-up appears on the touchscreen telling the user that the front door sensor has been activated, and asking the user if he or she would like to view the video. - The flow diagram for the
camera event 1500 shows the flow of data from the sensor to the security panel and the gateway during a camera event. The gateway receives information regarding automation ‘rules’ between camera and sensor event from the iConnect servers as a part of the periodic state updates that occur between gateway client and server. - In Step 1 a sensor or multiple sensors are triggered. In
Step 2 the gateway and/or Security Panel receives notification that a sensor state has changed through a network connection (wired or wireless) with the sensor, and if a rule exists for that device or set of devices, the touchscreen is then alerted via the PanelConnect interface running either locally on the touchscreen or remotely on the gateway. InStep 3, the touchscreen puts up the alert and, if requested, opens a video stream from the camera. In the event that the touchscreen is in a quiescent mode instead of a dialog popup the IP video is immediately displayed, and an audible alert may sound as an option in the notification. -
Step 3 of the data flow also shows an alternate route over which the gateway, if so configured, can send the sensor information the iControl servers (Step 4), which in turn forward the information in the form of an SMS alert or direct IP notification to a cell phone (Step 5). The cell phone user could then set up a video stream from the camera. -
FIG. 16 is a flow diagram of a method of integrating an external control and management application system with an existing security system, under an embodiment. Operations begin when the system is powered on 1610, involving at a minimum the power-on of the gateway device, and optionally the power-on of the connection between the gateway device and the remote servers. The gateway device initiates 1620 a software and RF sequence to locate the extant security system. The gateway and installer initiate and complete 1630 a sequence to ‘learn’ the gateway into the security system as a valid and authorized control device. The gateway initiates 1640 another software and RF sequence of instructions to discover and learn the existence and capabilities of existing RF devices within the extant security system, and store this information in the system. These operations under the system of an embodiment are described in further detail below. - Unlike conventional systems that extend an existing security system, the system of an embodiment operates utilizing the proprietary wireless protocols of the security system manufacturer. In one illustrative embodiment, the gateway is an embedded computer with an IP LAN and WAN connection and a plurality of RF transceivers and software protocol modules capable of communicating with a plurality of security systems each with a potentially different RF and software protocol interface. After the gateway has completed the discovery and learning 1640 of sensors and has been integrated 1650 as a virtual control device in the extant security system, the system becomes operational. Thus, the security system and associated sensors are presented 1650 as accessible devices to a potential plurality of user interface subsystems.
- The system of an embodiment integrates 1660 the functionality of the extant security system with other non-security devices including but not limited to IP cameras, touchscreens, lighting controls, door locking mechanisms, which may be controlled via RF, wired, or powerline-based networking mechanisms supported by the gateway or servers.
- The system of an embodiment provides a
user interface subsystem 1670 enabling a user to monitor, manage, and control the system and associated sensors and security systems. In an embodiment of the system, a user interface subsystem is an HTML/XML/Javascript/Java/AJAX/Flash presentation of a monitoring and control application, enabling users to view the state of all sensors and controllers in the extant security system from a web browser or equivalent operating on a computer, PDA, mobile phone, or other consumer device. - In another illustrative embodiment of the system described herein, a user interface subsystem is an HTML/XML/Javascript/Java/AJAX presentation of a monitoring and control application, enabling users to combine the monitoring and control of the extant security system and sensors with the monitoring and control of non-security devices including but not limited to IP cameras, touchscreens, lighting controls, door locking mechanisms.
- In another illustrative embodiment of the system described herein, a user interface subsystem is a mobile phone application enabling users to monitor and control the extant security system as well as other non-security devices.
- In another illustrative embodiment of the system described herein, a user interface subsystem is an application running on a keypad or touchscreen device enabling users to monitor and control the extant security system as well as other non-security devices.
- In another illustrative embodiment of the system described herein, a user interface subsystem is an application operating on a TV or set-top box connected to a TV enabling users to monitor and control the extant security system as well as other non-security devices.

FIG. 17 is a block diagram of anintegrated security system 1700 wirelessly interfacing to proprietary security systems, under an embodiment. Asecurity system 1710 is coupled or connected to aGateway 1720, and fromGateway 1720 coupled or connected to a plurality of information and content sources across anetwork 1730 including one ormore web servers 1740,system databases 1750, andapplications servers 1760. While in oneembodiment network 1730 is the Internet, including the World Wide Web, those of skill in the art will appreciate thatnetwork 1730 may be any type of network, such as an intranet, an extranet, a virtual private network (VPN), a mobile network, or a non-TCP/IP based network. - Moreover, other elements of the system of an embodiment may be conventional, well-known elements that need not be explained in detail herein. For example,
security system 1710 could be any type home or business security system, such devices including but not limited to a standalone RF home security system or a non-RF-capable wired home security system with an add-on RF interface module. In theintegrated security system 1700 of this example,security system 1710 includes an RF-capable wireless security panel (WSP) 1711 that acts as the master controller forsecurity system 1710. Well-known examples of such a WSP include the GE Security Concord, Networx, and Simon panels, the Honeywell Vista and Lynx panels, and similar panels from DSC and Napco, to name a few. Awireless module 1714 includes the RF hardware and protocol software necessary to enable communication with and control of a plurality ofwireless devices 1713.WSP 1711 may also managewired devices 1714 physically connected toWSP 1711 with an RS232 or RS485 or Ethernet connection or similar such wired interface. - In an implementation consistent with the systems and methods described herein,
Gateway 1720 provides the interface betweensecurity system 1710 and LAN and/or WAN for purposes of remote control, monitoring, and management.Gateway 1720 communicates with anexternal web server 1740,database 1750, andapplication server 1760 over network 1730 (which may comprise WAN, LAN, or a combination thereof). In this example system, application logic, remote user interface functionality, as well as user state and account are managed by the combination of these remote servers.Gateway 1720 includesserver connection manager 1721, a software interface module responsible for all server communication overnetwork 1730.Event manager 1722 implements the main event loop forGateway 1720, processing events received from device manager 1724 (communicating with non-security system devices including but not limited to IP cameras, wireless thermostats, or remote door locks).Event manager 1722 further processes events and control messages from and tosecurity system 1710 by utilizingWSP manager 1723. -
WSP manager 1723 anddevice manager 1724 both rely uponwireless protocol manager 1726 which receives and stores the proprietary or standards-based protocols required to supportsecurity system 1710 as well as any other devices interfacing withgateway 1720.WSP manager 1723 further utilizes the comprehensive protocols and interface algorithms for a plurality ofsecurity systems 1710 stored in the WSP DB client database associated withwireless protocol manager 1726. These various components implement the software logic and protocols necessary to communicate with and manager devices andsecurity systems 1710. WirelessTransceiver hardware modules 1725 are then used to implement the physical RF communications link to such devices andsecurity systems 1710. Anillustrative wireless transceiver 1725 is the GE Security Dialog circuit board, implementing a 319.5 MHz two-way RF transceiver module. In this example,RF Link 1770 represents the 319.5 MHz RF communication link, enablinggateway 1720 to monitor and controlWSP 1711 and associated wireless andwired devices - In one embodiment,
server connection manager 1721 requests and receives a set of wireless protocols for a specific security system 1710 (an illustrative example being that of the GE Security Concord panel and sensors) and stores them in the WSP DB portion of thewireless protocol manager 1726.WSP manager 1723 then utilizes such protocols fromwireless protocol manager 1726 to initiate the sequence of processes detailed inFIG. 16 andFIG. 17 forlearning gateway 1720 intosecurity system 1710 as an authorized control device. Once learned in, as described with reference toFIG. 17 (and above),event manager 1722 processes all events and messages detected by the combination ofWSP manager 1723 and the GE Securitywireless transceiver module 1725. - In another embodiment,
gateway 1720 incorporates a plurality ofwireless transceivers 1725 and associated protocols managed bywireless protocol manager 1726. In this embodiment events and control of multiple heterogeneous devices may be coordinated withWSP 1711,wireless devices 1713, andwired devices 1714. For example a wireless sensor from one manufacturer may be utilized to control a device using a different protocol from a different manufacturer. - In another embodiment,
gateway 1720 incorporates a wired interface tosecurity system 1710, and incorporates a plurality ofwireless transceivers 1725 and associated protocols managed bywireless protocol manager 1726. In this embodiment events and control of multiple heterogeneous devices may be coordinated withWSP 1711,wireless devices 1713, andwired devices 1714. - Of course, while an illustrative embodiment of an architecture of the system of an embodiment is described in detail herein with respect to
FIG. 17 , one of skill in the art will understand that modifications to this architecture may be made without departing from the scope of the description presented herein. For example, the functionality described herein may be allocated differently between client and server, or amongst different server or processor-based components. Likewise, the entire functionality of thegateway 1720 described herein could be integrated completely within an existingsecurity system 1710. In such an embodiment, the architecture could be directly integrated with asecurity system 1710 in a manner consistent with the currently described embodiments. -
FIG. 18 is a flow diagram for wirelessly ‘learning’ the Gateway into an existing security system and discovering extant sensors, under an embodiment. Thelearning interfaces gateway 1720 withsecurity system 1710.Gateway 1720 powers up 1810 and initiatessoftware sequences accessible WSPs 1711 andwireless devices 1713, respectively (e.g., one or more WSPs and/or devices within range of gateway 1720). Once identified,WSP 1711 is manually or automatically set into ‘learn mode’ 1830, andgateway 1720 utilizes available protocols to add 1840 itself as an authorized control device insecurity system 1710. Upon successful completion of this task,WSP 1711 is manually or automatically removed from ‘learn mode’ 1850. -
Gateway 1720 utilizes the appropriate protocols to mimic 1860 the first identifieddevice 1714. In thisoperation gateway 1720 identifies itself using the unique or pseudo-unique identifier of the first founddevice 1714, and sends an appropriate change of state message overRF Link 1770. In the event thatWSP 1711 responds to this change of state message, thedevice 1714 is then added 1870 to the system indatabase 1750.Gateway 1720associates 1880 any other information (such as zone name or token-based identifier) with thisdevice 1714 indatabase 1750, enablinggateway 1720, user interface modules, or any application to retrieve this associated information. - In the event that
WSP 1711 does not respond to the change of state message, thedevice 1714 is not added 1870 to the system indatabase 1750, and thisdevice 1714 is identified as not being a part ofsecurity system 1710 with a flag, and is either ignored or added as an independent device, at the discretion of the system provisioning rules. Operations hereunder repeat 1885operations devices 1714 if applicable. Once alldevices 1714 have been tested in this way, the system beginsoperation 1890. - In another embodiment,
gateway 1720 utilizes a wired connection toWSP 1711, but also incorporates awireless transceiver 1725 to communicate directly withdevices 1714. In this embodiment, operations under 1820 above are removed, and operations under 1840 above are modified so the system of this embodiment utilizes wireline protocols to add itself as an authorized control device insecurity system 1710. - A description of an example embodiment follows in which the Gateway (
FIG. 17 , element 1720) is the iHub available from iControl Networks, Palo Alto, Calif., and described in detail herein. In this example the gateway is “automatically” installed with a security system. - The automatic security system installation begins with the assignment of an authorization key to components of the security system (e.g., gateway, kit including the gateway, etc.). The assignment of an authorization key is done in lieu of creating a user account. An installer later places the gateway in a user's premises along with the premises security system. The installer uses a computer to navigate to a web portal (e.g., integrated security system web interface), logs in to the portal, and enters the authorization key of the installed gateway into the web portal for authentication. Once authenticated, the gateway automatically discovers devices at the premises (e.g., sensors, cameras, light controls, etc.) and adds the discovered devices to the system or “network”. The installer assigns names to the devices, and tests operation of the devices back to the server (e.g., did the door open, did the camera take a picture, etc.). The security device information is optionally pushed or otherwise propagated to a security panel and/or to the server network database. The installer finishes the installation, and instructs the end user on how to create an account, username, and password. At this time the user enters the authorization key which validates the account creation (uses a valid authorization key to associate the network with the user's account). New devices may subsequently be added to the security network in a variety of ways (e.g., user first enters a unique ID for each device/sensor and names it in the server, after which the gateway can automatically discover and configure the device).
- A description of another example embodiment follows in which the security system (
FIG. 17 , element 1710) is a Dialog system and the WSP (FIG. 17 , element 1711) is a SimonXT available from General Electric Security, and the Gateway (FIG. 17 , element 1720) is the iHub available from iControl Networks, Palo Alto, Calif., and described in detail herein. Descriptions of the install process for the SimonXT and iHub are also provided below. - GE Security's Dialog network is one of the most widely deployed and tested wireless security systems in the world. The physical RF network is based on a 319.5 MHz unlicensed spectrum, with a bandwidth supporting up to 19 Kbps communications. Typical use of this bandwidth—even in conjunction with the integrated security system—is far less than that. Devices on this network can support either one-way communication (either a transmitter or a receiver) or two-way communication (a transceiver). Certain GE Simon, Simon XT, and Concord security control panels incorporate a two-way transceiver as a standard component. The gateway also incorporates the same two-way transceiver card. The physical link layer of the network is managed by the transceiver module hardware and firmware, while the coded payload bitstreams are made available to the application layer for processing.
- Sensors in the Dialog network typically use a 60-bit protocol for communicating with the security panel transceiver, while security system keypads and the gateway use the encrypted 80-bit protocol. The Dialog network is configured for reliability, as well as low-power usage. Many devices are supervised, i.e. they are regularly monitored by the system ‘master’ (typically a GE security panel), while still maintaining excellent power usage characteristics. A typical door window sensor has a battery life in excess of 5-7 years.
- The gateway has two modes of operation in the Dialog network: a first mode of operation is when the gateway is configured or operates as a ‘slave’ to the GE security panel; a second mode of operation is when the gateway is configured or operates as a ‘master’ to the system in the event a security panel is not present. In both configurations, the gateway has the ability to ‘listen’ to network traffic, enabling the gateway to continually keep track of the status of all devices in the system. Similarly, in both situations the gateway can address and control devices that support setting adjustments (such as the GE wireless thermostat).
- In the configuration in which the gateway acts as a ‘slave’ to the security panel, the gateway is ‘learned into’ the system as a GE wireless keypad. In this mode of operation, the gateway emulates a security system keypad when managing the security panel, and can query the security panel for status and ‘listen’ to security panel events (such as alarm events).
- The gateway incorporates an RF Transceiver manufactured by GE Security, but is not so limited. This transceiver implements the Dialog protocols and handles all network message transmissions, receptions, and timing. As such, the physical, link, and protocol layers of the communications between the gateway and any GE device in the Dialog network are totally compliant with GE Security specifications.
- At the application level, the gateway emulates the behavior of a GE wireless keypad utilizing the GE Security 80-bit encrypted protocol, and only supported protocols and network traffic are generated by the gateway. Extensions to the Dialog RF protocol of an embodiment enable full control and configuration of the panel, and iControl can both automate installation and sensor enrollment as well as direct configuration downloads for the panel under these protocol extensions.
- As described above, the gateway participates in the GE Security network at the customer premises. Because the gateway has intelligence and a two-way transceiver, it can ‘hear’ all of the traffic on that network. The gateway makes use of the periodic sensor updates, state changes, and supervisory signals of the network to maintain a current state of the premises. This data is relayed to the integrated security system server (e.g.,
FIG. 2 , element 260) and stored in the event repository for use by other server components. This usage of the GE Security RF network is completely non-invasive; there is no new data traffic created to support this activity. - The gateway can directly (or indirectly through the Simon XT panel) control two-way devices on the network. For example, the gateway can direct a GE Security Thermostat to change its setting to ‘Cool’ from ‘Off’, as well as request an update on the current temperature of the room. The gateway performs these functions using the existing GE Dialog protocols, with little to no impact on the network; a gateway device control or data request takes only a few dozen bytes of data in a network that can support 19 Kbps.
- By enrolling with the Simon XT as a wireless keypad, as described herein, the gateway includes data or information of all alarm events, as well as state changes relevant to the security panel. This information is transferred to the gateway as encrypted packets in the same way that the information is transferred to all other wireless keypads on the network.
- Because of its status as an authorized keypad, the gateway can also initiate the same panel commands that a keypad can initiate. For example, the gateway can arm or disarm the panel using the standard Dialog protocol for this activity. Other than the monitoring of standard alarm events like other network keypads, the only incremental data traffic on the network as a result of the gateway is the infrequent remote arm/disarm events that the gateway initiates, or infrequent queries on the state of the panel.
- The gateway is enrolled into the Simon XT panel as a ‘slave’ device which, in an embodiment, is a wireless keypad. This enables the gateway for all necessary functionality for operating the Simon XT system remotely, as well as combining the actions and information of non-security devices such as lighting or door locks with GE Security devices. The only resource taken up by the gateway in this scenario is one wireless zone (sensor ID).
- The gateway of an embodiment supports three forms of sensor and panel enrollment/installation into the integrated security system, but is not limited to this number of enrollment/installation options. The enrollment/installation options of an embodiment include installer installation, kitting, and panel, each of which is described below.
- Under the installer option, the installer enters the sensor IDs at time of installation into the integrated security system web portal or iScreen. This technique is supported in all configurations and installations.
- Kits can be pre-provisioned using integrated security system provisioning applications when using the kitting option. At kitting time, multiple sensors are automatically associated with an account, and at install time there is no additional work required.
- In the case where a panel is installed with sensors already enrolled (i.e. using the GE Simon XT enrollment process), the gateway has the capability to automatically extract the sensor information from the system and incorporate it into the user account on the integrated security system server.
- The gateway and integrated security system of an embodiment uses an auto-learn process for sensor and panel enrollment in an embodiment. The deployment approach of an embodiment can use additional interfaces that GE Security is adding to the Simon XT panel. With these interfaces, the gateway has the capability to remotely enroll sensors in the panel automatically. The interfaces include, but are not limited to, the following: EnrollDevice(ID, type, name, zone, group); SetDeviceParameters(ID, type, Name, zone, group), GetDeviceParameters(zone); and RemoveDevice(zone).
- The integrated security system incorporates these new interfaces into the system, providing the following install process. The install process can include integrated security system logistics to handle kitting and pre-provisioning. Pre-kitting and logistics can include a pre-provisioning kitting tool provided by integrated security system that enables a security system vendor or provider (“provider”) to offer pre-packaged initial ‘kits’. This is not required but is recommended for simplifying the install process. This example assumes a ‘Basic’ kit is preassembled and includes one (1) Simon XT, three (3) Door/window sensors, one (1) motion sensor, one (1) gateway, one (1) keyfob, two (2) cameras, and ethernet cables. The kit also includes a sticker page with all Zones (1-24) and Names (full name list).
- The provider uses the integrated security system kitting tool to assemble ‘Basic’ kit packages. The contents of different types of starter kits may be defined by the provider. At the distribution warehouse, a worker uses a bar code scanner to scan each sensor and the gateway as it is packed into the box. An ID label is created that is attached to the box. The scanning process automatically associates all the devices with one kit, and the new ID label is the unique identifier of the kit. These boxes are then sent to the provider for distribution to installer warehouses. Individual sensors, cameras, etc. are also sent to the provider installer warehouse. Each is labeled with its own barcode/ID.
