Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of security. In particular, the present invention relates to a security system, a method and an apparatus for commissioning a security system.
Background
The safety system is a facility for people to find and report disasters, faults and the like in early stage and take effective measures to control and eliminate the disasters, the faults and the like in time. For example, a safety system such as a fire alarm system can convert physical quantities such as smoke, heat, flame, etc. generated by combustion into electric signals through a fire detector at the initial stage of a fire, transmit the electric signals to a fire alarm controller, and simultaneously display the position, time, etc. of the fire, so that people can find the fire in time and take effective measures in time to extinguish the initial fire, thereby minimizing the loss of life and property caused by the fire. In addition, such a safety system can also discover and rescue people in distress or troubleshoot equipment in time.
It has been found that for security systems like fire alarm systems, there are always three categories of people with which to interact: ordinary terminal users, i.e. security personnel; managers, i.e., property managers; and installer, i.e. system integrator. After customer sound (OVOC) and usability tests are performed, installers often face some difficulties.
First, when installers set up the system, they should do a lot of debugging. However, due to the non-touch screen size and limited buttons, performing these debugs is difficult and inefficient. Limited function buttons may confuse the installer and the installer may misinterpret if there are multiple number buttons.
Second, when an installer is debugging, they should log into the installer page to enter large amounts of data. However, in current systems, only the average end user can receive status reports. Thus, the installer should log off and go to the page of the average end user to check the status. This process wastes a lot of unnecessary effort and reduces the work efficiency of the installer.
Finally, the installer and the ordinary end user check the status at the same interface at the same time. However, the most important concern for installers is different from that of ordinary end users. For the average end user, classifying events (fire alarm events, malfunction events or other events) is the most important task. And for the installer to focus on the device-based information.
Therefore, a more specialized page or interface is needed for an installer to easily overview the entire system and debug and check the status of each device, which should be different from the interface of an ordinary end user.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention are further described below by referring to the accompanying drawings and examples.
As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless expressly stated otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
Fig. 1 is a flow diagram illustrating a method of the present invention for commissioning a security system according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the method 100 may include the following steps.
In step S101, a debug mode of the security system may be logged in. As used herein, for example, an installer may press a button on the machine, entering the installer's password to log into a debug mode. The identity code may be a unique code for the installer and will therefore not be annoying to the other two classes of people. In addition to authentication methods by password, biometric-based authentication such as fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, etc. may also be used to log into a commissioning mode of the security system. The invention is not limited in this respect.
In step S102, in the debug mode, the overall component state of the security system is checked. As used herein, the debug mode is a completely new mode that can decouple the user's specific needs and directly and easily make the user the content he or she wishes to obtain. In the commissioning mode, the installer can overview the status and location of all components of the security system. And in debug mode the user interface can be matched to the physical installation so that the installer can quickly understand the user interface. Further, the commissioning mode may be a mode unique and specific to the installer.
The respective states of the components may be indicated by corresponding markings so that the installer can more easily and intuitively view these states. For example, the respective states may be indicated by respective colors. As one non-limiting example, yellow indicates a "fault" status, green indicates a "normal" status, red indicates an "alarm" status, and gray indicates an "uninstalled" status. In addition to indication with color, other indicia may be utilized to indicate the respective status. For example, various states may be indicated using indicia that blink differently in lighting. The invention is not limited in this respect.
In step S103, a component may be selected for debugging and inspection. As used herein, for example, an installer may select a particular component for debugging and inspection based on a view of the state of the entire component in a debug mode. Thus, an installer can easily debug and inspect any components in the security system until all components are normal. For example, an installer may select a component in a "failed" state indicated by yellow for debugging and inspection, and a component in an "alarm" state indicated by red for debugging and inspection, after viewing the overall status of the components of the security system.
By the above method for commissioning a security system, the number of interaction steps that need to be performed by an installer is reduced. The installer can enter its unique and dedicated debug mode by just logging in once. This commissioning mode provides an installer a simple way of overview of the entire system, which can help them easily complete the installation of the system. The installer plays an important role in the commercial use of the security system, and providing the installer with this unique and proprietary new model can help protect the security system from false settings caused by mishandling by other users. Further, by indicating the respective states of the components with the corresponding flags in the debug mode, the installer can quickly find an abnormal component. This is very important and useful for installers because by easily finding the problem, their working time is saved and working efficiency is improved.
Further, in the above method, it is also possible to refresh the state of the component by an automatic local manner, which further improves the work efficiency of the installer.
Fig. 2 is a flow diagram of a method for commissioning a security system according to an exemplary implementation of the present invention. In one exemplary implementation, the security system is a security system such as a fire alarm system. In this exemplary implementation, a method 200 for commissioning a security system, such as a fire alarm system, includes the following steps.
In step S201, a commissioning mode of the fire alarm system (or fire alarm panel) may be logged in. For example, as described above, the installer may enter his own password to log into the debug mode.
In step S202, in debug mode, the overall loop card status of the fire alarm system may be viewed. Referring to FIG. 4A, a schematic diagram of the interface in this debug mode is shown. In particular, in fig. 4A, an overview of the status of the whole loop card 1-8 in debug mode is shown. The user interface is matched to the physical mounting so that the installer can quickly understand the meaning of the components therein. As can be seen from fig. 4A, in the fire alarm system, yellow indicates a "failure" state, green indicates a "normal" state, red indicates an "alarm" state, and gray indicates an "uninstalled" state. Through this interface, the installer can use the buttons on the right to change the focus and select the target.
In step S203, a loop in the loop card may be selected for debugging and checking. For example, the installer may select a faulty loop (e.g., loop 6) in the loop card 3 shown in fig. 4A in the "faulty" state indicated by yellow for debugging and inspection. For example, as shown in fig. 4B, when entering the loop 6, the device in fault, indicated by the color, can be clearly seen from the user interface. Optionally, in the commissioning mode, the device layout may be arranged in a matrix format. For example, as shown in fig. 4B, the device layouts in loop 6 are arranged in a 10 x 10 format, i.e., devices from L6.1 to L6.100 on the left and devices from L6.101 to L6.200 on the right. Such an arrangement may help an installer to quickly locate the address of the malfunctioning device for further debugging and inspection.
Similarly, for example, the installer may select an alarm loop (e.g., loop 4) in the loop card 2 shown in FIG. 4A in an "alarm" state indicated by the red color for debugging and inspection. For example, as shown in FIG. 4C, when entering the loop 4, the device in alarm, indicated by color, can be clearly seen from the user interface. As shown in fig. 4B, in fig. 4C, the device layout in loop 4 is also arranged in a 10 x 10 format to facilitate rapid location of the addresses of the alarm devices for further commissioning and inspection.
Similarly, for example, the installer can select an uninstalled loop (e.g., loop 2) in the loop card 1 shown in fig. 4A in the "uninstalled" state indicated by gray for debugging and inspection. For example, as shown in fig. 4D, when the loop 2 is entered, it can be clearly seen from the user interface that the loop is not installed, indicated by color.
By the above method for commissioning a security system such as a fire alarm system, the number of interactive steps required by installers is reduced and they are enabled to quickly view the loop cards of the system and the status of the loops in the loop cards and quickly find out the abnormal equipment. This saves the working time of the installer and improves the working efficiency. Additionally, it should be understood that the loop card and the loop in the loop card are merely exemplary components in the security system, and that other components in the security system may be efficiently debugged and checked using this method.
Fig. 3 is a simplified block diagram illustrating the security system of the present invention, according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the security system 300 includes a login module 301, a debug module 302, and a selection module 303.
In one implementation, the login module 301 may be used to log into a debug mode of the security system. As used herein, for example, login module 302 may receive a password entered by an installer and perform authentication to determine whether to login to a debug mode. As described above, the identity password may be the installer's unique password, and the login module 301 may also authenticate using biometric-based authentication, such as fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, etc., to determine whether to login to the commissioning mode of the security system.
The debug module 302 may be used to view the overall component status of the security system in a debug mode. As used herein, an installer may, for example, through the debug module 302, overview the status and location of all components of the security system in debug mode. As described above, the debug mode is a completely new mode that can separate the specific needs of the user and directly and easily make the user get the content he wishes to obtain. The debug module 302 may also include a user interface that matches the physical installation so that the installer can quickly understand the user interface. Further, the debugging module 302 may be a module that is unique and specific to the installer. The relevant features regarding the indication of the status of the component have been described above and will not be described in detail here.
Selection module 303 may be used to select components to debug and inspect by debug module 302. As used herein, for example, an installer may select a particular component for debugging and inspection by selection module 303 based on a view of the state of the overall component in a debug mode. As an example, in a security system such as a fire alarm system, selection module 303 selects a loop in a loop card to be debugged and checked by debug module 302.
In the security system 300, as described above, the number of interactive steps required for the installer is reduced, and the installer can quickly find the abnormal component, thus saving their working time and improving working efficiency.
In addition, in the security system 300, a refresh module may also be included for refreshing the state of the component in an automated manner, which further improves the work efficiency of the installer.
It should be understood that the security system 300 may also include other components, including, for example, a Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory, communication units, etc., as the present invention is not limited in this respect.
