  • the memory of the control unit 10 comprises a ROM (read only memory) zone 7 wherein a backup program is engraved during the manufacture process in a factory producing the control unit 10.
  • the memory of the control unit 10 comprises also two non volatile zones 8 and 9 wherein a first non volatile zone is ready for downloading a release program from the server 20 and a second non volatile zone for hosting an enabled program. The same process may apply for configuration data.
  • the backup program is a basic program which affords access to the server 20 for establishing a dialog comprising the transmission of a status from the control unit to the server and the download of the release program from the server 20 to the ready non volatile zone 8 or 9.
  • the memory zone 7 contains also an address of a rescue server 24 able to provide the control unit with a release program and with one or more addresses of configuration servers.
  • the control unit boots on the backup program. In case of power failure, the control unit reboots with the last program, which has been enabled.
  • Dialog steps between the control unit 10 and the server 20 may be illustrated in Figure 2 .
  • the control unit 10 is generally in an idle step 100 waiting for an event.
  • a transition 101 is periodically validated by a clock signal for periodically checking the good working of the control unit.
  • the transition 101 may also be validated by a plug signal when it is started for a first time, by a push signal when the user press a dedicated button on the front panel of the control unit or by any default of the control unit 10 or any signal received from a sensor 14, 18 or a device 13, 17 which is connected to the control unit.
  • the transition 101 triggers a calling step 102 wherein the control unit 10 calls the server 20 through the IP network 22 or through the cellular network 21, which is steadily available if the IP network 22 is not available.
  • the control unit 10 can call automatically the server through the Internet using an URL (Uniform Resource Locator) or through the cellular network using a telephone number stored at least in the ROM memory 7.
  • URL Uniform Resource Locator

  • the configuration of the security system comprises for example a list of sensors and devices which are connected to the control unit, how to proceed with each of the sensor or device according to the circumstances, the telephone number to be called in case of an alarm and so on.
  • the status of the alarm control system comprises the status of the control unit and of each sensor and device, which is connected to the control unit for notifying if a default, detection or activation occurs and which event occurs or if nothing is to declare.
  • a transition 203 is validated when the server receives the status and version from the control unit.
  • the transition 203 triggers an analysing step 204 wherein the server 20 uses the unique identifying number of the control unit for retrieving its profile out of the database 23 and verifies the received status.
  • a transition 209 is validated when a default, detection, activation or the connection of a new sensor or a new device to the control unit is notified. When the transition 209 is not validated, the server 20 compares the received version with the version, which is registered in the database 23.
  • a transition 205 is validated when the received version is the same as the registered version.
  • a transition 207 is validated when the received version is different from the registered version.
  • the transition 209 triggers a default step 210 wherein the server 20 records the status and launches the actions, which are ordered by registered rules associated with the profile of the control unit in the database 23.
  • Step 210 is also triggered by a transition 211.
  • the transition 211 is validated by a clock pulse signal for the case where transition 201 is not validated because of no call received from the control unit in a predetermined period after last validation of transition 201. Validation of transition 211 is indeed an alarm condition for launching actions according to the registered rules associated with the profile of the control unit in the database 23.
  • the transition 205 triggers an acknowledgement (ACK) step 206 wherein the server 20 sends an ACK message to the control unit 10.
  • ACK acknowledgement
  • a transition 105 is validated when the control unit 10 receives the ACK message and returns to step 100.
  • the transition 207 triggers a download step 208 wherein the server 20 sends a release program having the version, which is indicated by the database and/or an updated configuration having the version, which is indicated by the database when the versions of the program are different, and/or respectively when the versions of the configuration are different.
  • a standard protocol like the XML (extensible Markup Language) is used for communicating the configuration features and content between the server and the control unit.
  • Reception of the release program or of the updated configuration by the control unit validates a transition 107, which triggers a step 108.
  • the running program on the control unit 10 indicates the memory zone wherein it is recorded and the memory zone, which is free for recording the received release program.
  • the running program is the enabled program, which is recorded in the non volatile zone 8, it indicates that the non volatile zone 9 is ready for downloading the release program from the server 20.
  • the running program is recorded in the non volatile zone 9, it indicates that the non volatile zone 8 is ready for downloading the release program from the server 20.
  • the running program is the backup program which is recorded in the ROM 7, it indicates one or the other of the zones 8, 9 as a ready zone for recording the downloaded program.
  • the running program When transition 107 is validated by the reception of the release program, the running program records the release program in the indicated ready zone 8 or 9.
  • the running program checks the coherence of the release program by using a key which is provided by the central server 20. If the downloaded release program is correct, the running program enables the downloaded release program, indicates that the memory zone wherein the current running program is recorded becomes the memory zone ready for downloading a new release program and that the memory zone containing the just downloaded release program becomes the memory zone of the enabled program.
  • the up to now running program swaps to the new enabled program by branching itself to the enabled program in such a way that the enabled program becomes the running program.
  • the former running program is an enabled non running program, which constitutes a rescue program in case of execution failure of the more recently activated program.
  • a back swapping is executed as if the former running program would be a release program in the ready non-volatile zone 8, 9 which is otherwise ready for downloading.
  • transition 107 When transition 107 is validated by the reception of the updated configuration, the running program locally updates the configuration of the control unit.
  • step 200 After execution of one of the steps 206, 208, 210, the server 20 goes back to step 200.
  • the terminal 30 is considered here in an initial step 300 when a browser is in an idle state.
  • a transition 301 is validated when the terminal 30 is connected to the Internet.

  • Any 3G or higher mobile phone 31 on UMTS, HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) or any other data radio network can also be used on the network 22.
  • the transition 301 triggers a step 302 wherein a request to the service of the server 20 is initiated for example by the user of the alarm system.
  • the server 20 On the side of the Internet, the server 20 is considered to be in a waiting step 250.
  • a transition 251 is validated when a request is received from the Internet, precisely here from the terminal 30.
  • the transition 301 triggers a step 252 wherein the server connecting the terminal 30, displays pages with scroll menus and/or hyperlinks to sub pages relating to the control unit 10. More particularly, the pages gives access to the profile associated with the control unit 10 after having entered a password.
  • a transition 303 which is validated when the service is opened, triggers a dialog step 304 for configuring, monitoring and driving the profile of the control unit in the database 23.
  • the terminal 30 and the server 20 return respectively is initial step 300 and in initial step 250 after validation of respectively transition 305 and 255 by a disconnection.
  • step 254 can be triggered also by a transition 257, which is validated when a new program is detected for implementation in the local control unit.
  • the alarm system is purchased by the user in a shop or via Internet sites.
  • the purchased alarm system comprises the control unit 10 and some sensors and devices.
