PH12018050170A1 - Security alarm device - Google Patents

Abstract

An integrated security system is described that integrates broadband and mobile access and control with conventional security system and premise devices to provide a tri-mode security network 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, compliments existing premise protection equipment. The integrated security system integrates into the premise network and couples irwlessly with the conventional security panel, enabling broadband access to premise security system. Automation devices 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 call or text message when happenings occur in their home.

Description

SECURITY ALARM DEVICE

TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention is related to telecommunication services application for home, commercial, and industrial security.

BACKGROUND ART OF THE INVENTION

The field of home and small business security is dominated by technology suppliers who build comprehensive closed security systems, where the individual components (sensors, security panels, keypads) operate solely within the confines of a single vendor Solution. For example, a wireless motion sensor from vendor A cannot be used with a security panel from vendor B. Each vendor typically has developed sophisticated proprietary wireless technologies to enable the installation and management of wireless sensors, with little or no ability for the wireless devices to operate separate from the vendor's homogeneous system. Furthermore, these traditional systems are extremely limited in their ability to interface either to a local or wide area standards-based network (such as an IP network); most installed systems support only a low-bandwidth, intermittent connection utilizing phone lines or cellular (RF) backup systems. Wireless security technology from providers such as GE Security, Honeywell, and DSC/Tyco are well known in the art, and are examples of this proprietary approach to security systems for home and business.

Furthermore, with the proliferation of the internet, Ethernet and WiFi local area networks (LANs) and advanced wide area networks (WANs) that offer high bandwidth, low latency connections (broadband), as well as more advanced wireless WAN data networks (e.g. GPRS or CDMA IxRTT) there increasingly exists the networking capability to extend these traditional security systems to offer enhanced functionality.

In addition, the proliferation of broadband access has driven a corresponding increase in home and Small business networking technologies and devices. It is desirable to extend traditional security systems to encompass enhanced functionality Such as the ability to control and manage security systems from the worldwide web, cellular telephones, or advanced function internet-based devices. Other desired functionality includes an open systems approach to interface home security systems to home and small business networks.

Due to the proprietary approach described above, the traditional vendors are the only ones capable of taking advantage of these new network functions. To date, even though the vast majority of home and business customers have broadband network access in their premises, most security systems do not offer the advanced capabilities associated with high speed, low-latency LANs and WANs. This is primarily because the proprietary vendors have not been able to deliver such technology efficiently or effectively. Solution providers attempting to address this need are becoming known in the art, including three categories of Vendors: traditional proprietary hardware providers such as Honeywell and GE Security; third party hard-wired module providers such as Alarm.com, NextAlarm, and uControl; and new proprietary systems providers such as InGrid.

A disadvantage of the prior art technologies of the traditional proprietary hardware providers arises due to the continued proprietary approach of these vendors.

As they develop technology in this area it once again operates only with the hardware from that specific vendor, ignoring the need for a heterogeneous, cross-vendor Solution.

Yet another disadvantage of the prior art technologies of the traditional proprietary hardware providers arises due to the lack of experience and capability of these companies in creating open internet and web based solutions, and consumer friendly interfaces.

A disadvantage of the prior art technologies of the third party hard-wired module providers arises due to the installation and operational complexities and functional limitations associated with hardwiring a new component into existing security systems. Moreover, a disadvantage of the prior art technologies of the new proprietary systems providers arises due to the need to discard all prior technologies, and implement an entirely new form of security system to access the new functionalities associated with broadband and wireless data networks. There remains, therefore, a need for systems, devices, and methods that easily interface to and control the existing proprietary security technologies utilizing a variety of wireless technologies.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a security alarm device using smart connect and mobile network, which needs no wiring work and which can provide better security a tremendous amount of customers. Under the security alarm device using smart connect and mobile network according to the present invention, when anyone in the network happens to have an emergency situation, an alarm transmitting network will call out for help, by interrupting the network and sending out

Televant message to the owner, or any related person. Also, the residents protected by the security network in accordance with the present invention can select necessary equipment according to his own need, without affecting the operation of the whole network. Therefore, the reduction in accidents, better crime watch, and increasing the safety of the community can be achieved.
