In one example, if a particular sensor of the security system detects an alarm condition, the security system may be configured to display a user-defined image object on the display of the security system and/or the mobile device. Each image object may correspond to a user-defined region of a spatial image of a building, such as a floor plan.

Description

Security system with graphic alert notification

technical field

The present disclosure relates generally to security systems, and more particularly to security systems with graphical user interfaces.

Background technique

Security systems provide an increased level of security in homes and other buildings. Security systems typically include a centralized security controller operatively coupled to multiple sensors located throughout the home or building. When one of the sensors detects an alarm condition, the centralized safety controller typically displays a notification of the alarm condition on a display such as a local keypad. Often such displays have a limited size or a limited number of characters that can be displayed, either of which can make it difficult to clearly identify a particular sensor from all sensors that triggered an alarm condition. For example, if a magnet contact sensor is installed on the window of the first bedroom on the second floor of a residence, and the sensor detects an alarm condition, the security system may display an alarm notification "Alert: WIN_1ST_BDR_2flr". However, such an alert notification only describes the bedroom as the first bedroom, which then requires the user to know which of the three bedrooms on the second floor corresponds to the "first" bedroom. Furthermore, such an alarm notification does not identify which window sensor in the first bedroom triggered the alarm. This can make it difficult for a user to trace an alarm condition to a particular sensor in a home or building. In order to discover the source of the alarm condition, the user may need to check each and all sensors in the general area indicated by the alarm notification. This can be time consuming and cumbersome. Furthermore, the user's response to the alarm condition may not be optimal because the specific sensor that triggered the alarm may not be readily identifiable. It would be desirable to provide a security system that enables a user to easily see and understand the source of an alarm condition.

Contents of the invention

The present disclosure relates generally to security systems, and more particularly to security systems that enable a user to easily see and understand the source of an alarm condition. One example of the present disclosure may be found in a security system installation tool, which may be part of a security system controller, or may be a separate tool in communication with the security system controller. The security system installation tool may include a user interface including a display, a memory, and a controller operatively coupled to the user interface and the memory. The controller may be configured to allow an installer to display a floor plan image of the building on a display of the user interface by manipulating the user interface, and place individual sensor icons at corresponding locations on the displayed floor plan image. An installer may be allowed to define a user-defined area on the displayed floor plan image for each of at least some of the placed sensor icons by manipulating the user interface. The controller may create an image object for each of the placed sensor icons having a corresponding installer-defined region. An association may be stored in memory for each of the placed sensor icons with a corresponding installer-defined region, the association associating the placed sensor icon with the image object.

Another example of the present disclosure may be found in a security system controller that includes a user interface that includes a display and a controller operatively coupled to the user interface. The controller may be configured to be operatively coupled to two or more security sensors disposed within the building space and to monitor the two or more security sensors for an alarm condition. The controller may also be configured to display on the display of the user interface a building space image of the building including two or more sensor icons, each sensor icon representing one of the two or more security sensors. The two or more safety sensor icons are displayed on the building space image in locations corresponding to the actual physical location of a corresponding one of the two or more safety sensors within the building space. A memory may be operatively coupled to the controller for storing a corresponding image object for each of the two or more security sensors. Each image object may correspond to a user-defined region of the spatial image of the building. When the controller detects an alarm condition corresponding to one of the two or more security sensors, the controller is configured to display on a display of the user interface an image corresponding to the security sensor that triggered the alarm condition object.

Another example of the present disclosure may be found in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon an executable program instructing a mobile device having a user interface. The mobile device may periodically check for a signal from a remote server indicating an alarm condition from a sensor disposed within the building space. If an alarm condition is indicated, an image of only a portion of the building space corresponding to the physical location of the sensor within the building is displayed on the user interface of the mobile device.

The present disclosure generally relates to security systems configured to monitor and protect personal property. In some instances, a security system may protect a home, apartment, or other building and provide an alert if something undesirable is detected. Illustrative, but non-limiting examples of alarm conditions that a security system may monitor and report include intrusion, fire, smoke, carbon monoxide alarms, water leaks, and the like. Some security systems of the present disclosure provide localized alerts and/or possible alerts on smartphone apps and the like. In some cases, security systems of the present disclosure may include remote monitoring. In remote monitoring, the security system, including any sensors placed within the protected property, can be monitored from a remote monitoring location. A remote monitoring system, such as a remote monitoring service, may include a server or the like that receives information (eg, alarms) from a security system and, in response, contacts homeowners and/or authorities as needed.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an illustrative security system 10 that may be installed, for example, in a user's residence. The illustrative security system 10 includes a security system controller 12 and a number of sensors 16a, 16b, 16c, and 16d. Although four sensors are illustrated, it will be appreciated that in some cases, security system 10 may include three or fewer sensors. More generally, security system 10 may include a greater number of sensors. For example, in many security systems there are sensors placed on each window and door in order to detect whether the window or door is open or closed, and thus detect if a possibly uninvited and unwanted intrusion has occurred. In some examples, security system 10 may include other sensors including, but not limited to: cameras or other visual recording devices, microphones that can detect, for example, glass breaking, voices, footsteps, door movement, and/or other sounds, motion sensors , smoke detectors, carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, water sensors, proximity sensors, etc.

In some cases, security system 10 may be hardwired to at least some of sensors 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d. In some examples, at least some of the sensors 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d may communicate wirelessly with the security system controller 12 using any desired communication protocol, such as IEEE 802.15 based wireless communication, Zigbee communication, INSETEON communication, X10 communication protocol, Z-wave communications, Bluetooth communications, WIFI communications, IEEE 802.11-based communications, WiMAX communications, IEEE 802.16-based communications, various proprietary wireless communications, or any combination thereof.

In some examples, security system 10 may communicate with devices that are remote from the residence or building in which security system 10 is installed. FIG. 2 is a schematic view of illustrative system 18 including security system 10 (FIG. 1). System 18 includes monitoring service 20 and mobile device 22 . In some examples, monitoring service 20 may be a cloud-based monitoring system in which signals from security system 10 are monitored at a location remote from security system 10 . If a fault is detected, the monitoring service 20 may contact the police or other local authorities. In some cases, monitoring service 20 may additionally or alternatively contact the cell phone or other device of the owner registered with security system 10 , such as but not limited to mobile device 22 . In some instances, the security system 10 itself may directly contact official agencies and/or homeowners.

In some cases, it will be appreciated that once the security system 10 has been physically installed in the building space as desired, there is a need to configure the security system 10 . For example, the security system controller 12 may need to be informed of the location and identity of each sensor connected to the security system controller 12 . In some cases, a security system installation tool may be used to assist in configuring security system 10 . In some examples, as illustrated, for example, in FIG. 3 , security system installation tool 24 may be a stand-alone tool that may be temporarily operatively coupled to security system controller 12 , for example, using a wired or wireless connection. As will be discussed, in some cases security system installation tool 24 may be useful in configuring security system controller 12 . In some cases, optional security system installation tool 26 may be part of security system controller 28 , as shown, for example, in FIG. 4 , and may be implemented as an application or as one or more menu screens, as desired. It will be appreciated that security system controller 28 may be usable in a security system such as security system 10 and may represent an alternative to security system controller 12 discussed previously.

FIG. 5 is a schematic view of the security system installation tool 26 shown in FIG. 3 . Although the security system installation tool 26 is discussed as a stand-alone tool, it will be appreciated that the functionality of the security system installation tool would be largely the same if incorporated into the security system controller. In FIG. 5 , security system installation tool 26 includes user interface 30 , which itself includes display 32 and memory 34 . Controller 36 is operatively coupled to user interface 30 and memory 34 . In some examples, security system installation tool 24 may be implemented using a laptop computer, tablet computer, smartphone, dedicated installation tool, and/or any other suitable device.

Controller 36 of security system installation tool 26 may be configured to allow a user to display a floor plan image of the building on display 32 of user interface 30 by manipulating user interface 30 . In some cases, controller 36 also allows a user to upload floor plan images to memory 34 . Controller 36 may allow a user to place individual sensor icons at corresponding physical locations on the displayed floor plan image by manipulating user interface 30 . For example, a sensor icon may represent the sensors 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d previously discussed as part of the security system 10 shown in FIG. 1, and the locations of these sensors 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d in the building.

In some examples, controller 36 may be configured to allow a user (eg, an installer) to define a user-defined zone for each of at least some of the sensor icons placed on the displayed floor plan image by manipulating user interface 30 . For example, a user-defined zone may roughly correspond to a room, but this is not required. In some cases, a user-defined area may, for example, be part of a larger space or room. For example, a building with an open floor plan may be divided into: a user-defined area approximately corresponding to the kitchen, another user-defined area approximately corresponding to the living room adjacent to the kitchen, and possibly another user-defined area approximately corresponding to the formal dining area adjacent to the living room. A user-defined area. Controller 36 may then create custom image objects for each placed sensor icon. The custom image object for each placed sensor icon may be based at least in part on the portion of the displayed floor plan image that corresponds to the corresponding user-defined region. An association associating a placed sensor icon with its corresponding image object may also be stored in memory 34 .

In some cases, user-defined regions for at least some of the placed sensor icons may each be defined by a user (eg, installer) defining a polygon on the displayed floor plan image. In some examples, for example, display 32 of user interface 30 may be a touchscreen display, and user-defined values for at least some of the placed sensor icons may be individually defined via the touchscreen for defining polygons on the displayed floor plan image. Area. In some cases, controller 36 may allow a user to pan, zoom, and/or resize the displayed floor plan image by manipulating user interface 30 when defining a user-defined region. In some examples, controller 36 may be configured to allow a user to input, upload, and/or automatically detect a list of registered sensors and display an individual sensor icon for each registered sensor by manipulating user interface 30, as well as assign individual sensor The icon is dragged to a location on the displayed floor plan image that corresponds to the actual physical location of the registered sensor.

In some cases, security system installation tool 24 may include communication port 38 operably coupled to controller 36 to allow security system installation tool 24 to communicate with other devices. For example, in some cases, communication port 38 may be configured to communicate with a remote server, such as may be part of monitoring service 20 (FIG. 2). In some cases, communication port 38 may be configured to communicate with a security system controller (such as security system controller 12 of FIG. The stored associations of the sensor icons are uploaded to the security system controller.

FIG. 6 is a schematic view of another illustrative security system controller 40 . In some cases, security system controller 40 may be configured to communicate with stand-alone security system installation tool 24 (FIG. 5). In some cases, the security system controller 40 itself may incorporate the functionality of the security system installation tool (as noted in FIG. 4 ). The illustrative security system controller 40 may include a user interface 42 including a display 44 and a controller 46 operatively coupled to the user interface 42 . In some cases, controller 46 may be configured to be operatively coupled to two or more security sensors 48a, 48b, 48c disposed within building space 50 . While three safety sensors 48a, 48b, 48c are illustrated, it will be appreciated that the controller 46 may be configured to be operatively coupled to any number of safety sensors. The controller 46 may also be configured to monitor the safety sensors 48a, 48b, 48c for alarm conditions. It is contemplated that controller 46 may or may not be physically located within building space 50 .

In some cases, controller 46 may be configured to display on display 44 of user interface 42 a building space image of building space 50 that includes two or more sensor icons, each sensor icon representing two or more sensor icons. One of a plurality of security sensors 48a, 48b, 48c. Two or more sensor icons may be displayed at locations on the building space image that correspond to the physical locations of the two more safety sensors 48 a , 48 b , 48 c within the building space 50 . In some cases, the building space image may be, for example, a floor plan of building space 50 . A memory 52 may be operatively coupled to the controller 46 and may store a corresponding image object for each of the two or more security sensors 48a, 48b, 48c. In some cases, each image object may correspond to a user-defined region of the spatial image of the building. In some cases, at least some of the image objects correspond to user-defined subregions of the floor plan. In some cases, for example, a user-defined sub-section of the floor plan may correspond to a room or a portion of a room on the floor plan, and sensor icons may be placed at corresponding locations on the user-defined sub-section of the floor plan.

When the controller 46 detects an alarm condition corresponding to one of the two or more safety sensors 48a, 48b, 48c, the controller 46 may be configured to display on the display 44 of the user interface 42 that the alarm has been triggered. The image object corresponding to the status of the security sensor. In some cases, controller 46 may be operatively coupled to communication module 54 that enables security system controller 40 to communicate with a remote device, including but not limited to one of monitoring service 56 and/or mobile device 58 or more. In some cases, in response to a detected alarm condition, controller 46 may be configured to transmit an image object corresponding to the security sensor that triggered the alarm condition to a mobile device, such as mobile device 58 . In some cases, mobile device 58 may be a smartphone running a security application, and in response to receiving the transmitted image object, the security application may display the image object. In some cases, controller 46 may additionally or alternatively transmit an alert message to remote monitoring service 56 .

7-11 are illustrative screens that may be displayed, for example, on display 32 ( FIG. 5 ) of security system installation tool 24 and/or on display 44 ( FIG. 6 ) of security system controller 40 . These screens show certain features of an illustrative installer mode in which physical details of the security system 10 are defined and subsequently uploaded into the security system 10 . FIG. 7 shows an illustrative screen 60 including a status bar 62 which, as shown, indicates that the device is in "installer mode." In some cases, "installer mode" may be distinct from other modes, such as ready to arm (arm) and/or armed (armed) modes, as will be illustrated in subsequent figures. A central portion 64 of the illustrative screen 60 displays a floor plan 66 that may have been previously uploaded to the device. It will be appreciated that floor plans 66 may be considered floor plans, engineering drawings, blueprints, and the like. Illustrative screen 60 includes forward button 68 and back button 70, which may be used, for example, to scroll between different floor plans such as different floors of a multi-story home. For dwellings with only one floor, the forward button 68 and back button 70 may be grayed out or otherwise not displayed or functional. As can be seen, the illustrative screen 60 also includes drop down buttons 72 and 74, which may be used to access additional functions as will be shown.

Turning to FIG. 8 , it can be seen that drop-down menu 76 has been accessed by clicking drop-down button 72 of FIG. 7 . Pull-down menu 76 includes several buttons, including add sensor button 78 . Selecting add sensor button 78 (eg, by touching or clicking add sensor button 78 ) may cause screen 60 to be displayed as shown in FIG. 9 . In FIG. 9 , the drop down button 74 has been replaced by a sensor section 80 that displays one or more sensors that correspond to physical sensors of the security system and that can be dragged and dropped on the floor plan 66 are in positions corresponding to their actual physical positions within the building space 50 (FIG. 6). A single sensor 82 labeled MC1_BED1 is shown disposed within sensor section 80 . However, it is contemplated that multiple sensors may be shown here. In some cases, a list of registered sensors may be imported, uploaded, and/or automatically detected, and sensor section 80 may then be populated with the list. It is contemplated that a user (eg, installer) may change one or more properties of the sensor by clicking to touch the sensor icon. A property menu (not shown) may then be displayed where the user may change property values, such as sensor type, manufacturer, sensor name, sensor sensitivity threshold, and/or any other suitable property.

FIG. 10 shows the sensor 82 of FIG. 9 having been dropped or otherwise positioned within a bedroom 84 disposed in the upper left corner of the floor plan 66 as illustrated. Sensor 82 can be seen on plan view 66 as a sensor icon. Placing the sensor 82 in place, for example in the bedroom 84 in this particular case, results in the display of the retractable frame 86 . A scalable box 86 may be used to indicate a user-defined area corresponding to a particular sensor 82 . In some cases, the scalable frame 86 can be made larger or smaller by clicking on the frame 86 and dragging a mouse in one direction or another, or by dragging a finger on a touch screen display, for example. In FIG. 11 the frame 86 has been made larger so that the frame roughly corresponds to the size of the bedroom 84 . In some cases, controller 36 ( FIG. 5 ) or controller 46 ( FIG. 6 ) will create an image object representing the selected area depicted by box 86 . In one example, controller 36 and/or controller 46 may cut or crop a portion of floor plan 66 corresponding to frame 86 and may save the portion of floor plan 66 as an “image object” corresponding to sensor 82 . The telescoping frame 86 need not be rectangular. For example, it is contemplated that a user (eg, an installer) may define a vertex of any suitable shape, for example, and/or use any other suitable technique to define a user-defined region for each of at least some of the placed sensor icons.

12 to 15 are screen shots after placing various sensor icons that can be displayed, for example, on display 32 ( FIG. 5 ) of security system installation tool 24 and/or on display 44 ( FIG. 6 ) of security system controller 40 . ) on the explanatory screen shown on . As seen in Figure 12, the status bar 62 indicates that the system is in the ready-to-arm mode. The sensor 82 can be seen in the bedroom 84, the sensor icon placement of which is illustrated in Figures 7-11. In FIGS. 12-15 , additional sensor icons can be seen positioned at various locations on the plan view 66 .

In FIG. 13 , sensor icon 90 located in master suite 92 is illuminated, or otherwise indicates that the corresponding window in master suite 92 is open. The homeowner could, for example, close the windows before arming the system, or perhaps simply instruct the system to ignore open windows. FIG. 14 shows the system armed, as indicated by status bar 62 . In FIG. 14, it will be appreciated that the open window indicated by the sensor icon 90 in the master suite 92 has been addressed prior to arming the system.

In FIG. 15 , the system has been armed, as indicated by status bar 62 . FIG. 15 illustrates how controller 36 and/or controller 46 may react when a sensor detects an alarm condition. In the example shown, a sensor 82 disposed within a bedroom 84 and configured to monitor windows in the bedroom 84 has detected an alarm condition. This could simply be an open window, or ominously someone is trying to climb through a broken window. In response, controller 36 and/or controller 46 may display a magnified view of image object 94 previously defined by a user (eg, installer) and linked or otherwise associated with sensor 82 . In the example shown, image object 94 graphically represents the physical space corresponding to the location of the sensor that triggered the alarm condition. Sensor icons 82 may also be highlighted. For example, the sensor icon 83 may be colored red, blink, or otherwise draw the user's attention to the sensor icon 83 . If the building area surrounded by image object 94 also includes another sensor (not shown in FIG. 15 ) that does not detect an alarm condition, the sensor icon for that other sensor may not be highlighted in image object 94 . Accordingly, a user may be able to quickly and accurately identify the particular sensor that triggered the alarm condition and its location in the building.

In some cases, controller 36 and/or controller 46 may also display a disarm button 96 that allows a user (e.g., a homeowner) the opportunity to easily disarm the alarm if and when they determine that the alarm is a false alarm, The false alarm is, for example, one of their children opening their bedroom window to get some fresh air.

In some embodiments, information related to the status of security system 10 may be communicated to a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet computer, and may be displayed on a mobile device, such as mobile device 22 (FIG. 2) or mobile device 58 ( Image 6). 16-20 are screen shots showing illustrative screens that may be displayed, for example, on the display of a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet computer, running a security application in communication with security system 10 . In some cases, mobile devices may communicate directly with security system 10 . In some cases, the mobile device may communicate with monitoring service 20 ( FIG. 2 ) or monitoring service 56 ( FIG. 6 ), which in turn may communicate with security system 10 .

In FIG. 16 , the screen 100 includes a status bar 102 indicating the current status of the system and a selector 104 allowing the user to move between individual floor plans 106 . It will be appreciated that screen 100 provides information about the mobile device similar to that shown in FIG. 12 . Drop down button 108 may be selected to provide additional tools. Selection of drop down button 108 may result in display of menu 110 as shown in FIG. 17 . It will be appreciated that the menu 110 provides the user with a number of options to choose from: including a SET button 112, a WIFI button 114, a user button 116, a door unlock button 118, a video button 120, an off arm button 122, a hold arm button 124 and disarm button 126 .

Turning to Figure 18, which is a view similar to that of Figure 13, it can be seen that sensor 82 has been placed in bedroom 84, and all other sensors have also been placed. A sensor icon 90 located in master suite 92 is illuminated or otherwise indicates that a window in master suite 92 is open. The homeowner could, for example, close the windows before arming the system, or perhaps simply instruct the system to ignore open windows. In FIG. 19, as shown in the status bar 102, the system has been armed by the individual choosing to turn off the arm button 122 (if they will be leaving the residence) or keep the arm button 124 (if they will be in the residence, and perhaps their going to bed). This is similar to the view shown in Figure 14.

FIG. 20 provides a screen 100 similar to that shown in FIG. 15 in which an alarm condition has been detected. The window has been found to be open, as shown and described in status bar 102 . A sensor 82 located in the bedroom 84 is indicating a problem. For example, this could simply be an open window, or ominously someone is trying to climb through a broken window. In response, a magnified view of image object 94 graphically representing the physical space corresponding to the location of sensor 82 is displayed, thereby providing an easy-to-understand graphical indication of the alarm condition and its location. A disarm button 130 may also be displayed which allows the homeowner the opportunity to easily disarm the alarm if and when they determine that the alarm is a false alarm, such as one of their children opening their bedroom window to get some fresh air.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present disclosure may be embodied in a variety of forms other than the specific embodiments described and contemplated herein. Accordingly, departures may be made in form and details without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure as described in the appended claims.
