The embodiments described herein relate generally to a method and apparatus for improving the capabilities of security systems in premise applications.
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, 3G (HSPA), EVDO, LTE, or CDMA 1xRTT) 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 world wide 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 IP Datatel; and new proprietary systems providers such as InGrid.
Shortcomings of the prior art technologies of the traditional proprietary hardware providers are inherent in 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 shortcoming 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.
Yet another shortcoming 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, the new proprietary systems providers are faced with a 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.
Each patent, patent application, and/or publication mentioned in this specification is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety to the same extent as if each individual patent, patent application, and/or publication was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
Embodiments described herein include systems and methods for improving the capabilities of security systems in home and business applications. More particularly, the embodiments provide systems and methods for utilizing Internet Protocol (IP)-based solutions for interfacing to and controlling security systems from within a home or business, and extending such control and interface to remote devices outside the premise. Although the description herein includes 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 invention. Thus, the following embodiments are set forth without any loss of generality to, and without imposing limitations upon, the claimed invention.
Embodiments described herein use wireless-to-serial encapsulation (e.g., RF-to-serial encapsulation, WiFi-to-serial encapsulation, etc.) to move serial device drivers to other locations in a network (near the device or radio) to separate them from the wireless management device or access point, and the encapsulation allows that device to appear like a local serial device for application purposes. As such, the embodiments include a wireless (e.g., radio frequency (RF), etc.) system that enables a system provider or consumer to extend the capabilities of an existing or legacy system that is a proprietary system installed at a location (e.g., home, office, etc.). For example, the embodiments described in detail herein include a wireless system that enables a security system provider or consumer to extend the capabilities of a legacy security system installed at a home and/or office, but the embodiments are not limited to interfacing with a security system and can interface with any type of legacy or proprietary system.
The integrated security system of an embodiment includes an RF-capable Gateway device and associated software operating on the Gateway device physically located within RF range of the security system or a second RF device described herein. Alternatively, the Gateway device can be a touchscreen device coupled to and/or incorporating functionality of the Gateway as described in detail herein. The system also includes an interface device coupled between the Gateway device and the security system. This interface device, generally referred to herein as the Security Panel Interface Module (“SPIM”) or the “Cricket”, is located within the same premise as the security system and connected to the security panel through the security panel wiring interface or bus. The SPIM includes an one or more RF communication devices or modules that enable an RF interface, or other wired or wireless interface, to the security system by the Gateway and/or other remote RF device. The one or more RF communication devices or modules include one or more of a cellular communication device, a third Generation (3G) communication device, a High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) communication device, an Enhanced Voice-Data Optimized (EVDO) communication device, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication device, a broadband communication device, a radio frequency (RF) communication device, a WiFi communication device, a Z-Wave communication device, a Zigbee communication device, and a proprietary RF communication device (e.g., 900 MHz, 433 MHz, etc.), to name a few. The integrated security system also optionally includes a web server, application server, and remote database providing a persistent store for information related to the system. One or more alternative embodiments may incorporate all or part of the SPIM functionality described herein as an optional or intrinsic component of a security panel.
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 and the SPIM of an embodiment support various wireless protocols as described in detail herein and can therefore interconnect and communicate with a wide range of control panels offered by security system providers. Service providers and users can then extend the security system 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, proprietary mobile push interfaces, 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, DSC, and Honeywell, as well as consumer devices using Z-Wave, Zigbee, IP cameras (e.g., Ethernet, WiFi, and Homeplug), and IP touchscreens. The DeviceConnect technology 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 the addition of new protocols.
A benefit of DeviceConnect is that it provides supplier flexibility. The same consistent touchscreen, web, and mobile user experience operates unchanged on whatever security equipment is 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 for both the SPIM and the Gateway (e.g., CDMA, GPRS, 3G, LTE, 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 cellular (e.g. GPRS, 3G, LTE, 1xRTT, etc.) 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 alarm report of an embodiment is generated by the security panel, and then relayed over broadband or cellular by the SPIM using a cellular modem, as described in detail herein. Alternatively, the SPIM relays the alarm report over RF (e.g., Wifi, etc.) to the Gateway and the Gateway communicates the alarm report to the CMS over Broadband or cellular, depending on the physical configuration of the Gateway and SPIM (i.e., where the cellular modem and broadband connection interfaces are configured). In another embodiment, the SPIM processes security system data received from the Security System and generates the alarm report in the SPIM, and uses the cellular or broadband connection to forward the alarm report to the Gateway and/or the CMS. In yet another embodiment, the Gateway processes security system data received from the Security System via the SPIM and generates the alarm report in the Gateway, and forwards the alarm report to the CMS.
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 cellular connectivity. If broadband is down or unavailable cellular may be used, for example. The integrated security system supports cellular connectivity using an optional wireless package that includes a cellular modem in the gateway. The integrated security system treats the cellular connection as a higher cost though flexible option for data transfers. In an embodiment the cellular 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 cellular. 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 cellular connection as well.
In an embodiment, the SPIM can couple or connect to the POTS connection of the security panel and use this coupling to receive alarm reports that the SPIM or Gateway then forward to the CMS. The integrated security system provides a web application interface to the CSR tool suite as well as XML or REST 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 or REST 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/REST/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/3G/LTE 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/RS232 bus wired interfaces.
Regarding security for the IP communications (e.g., authentication, authorization, encryption, anti-spoofing, etc.), the integrated security system uses SSL or other AES-type encryption techniques to encrypt 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.
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, by iHub technology (embedded in a Gateway and/or SPIM as described with reference to
The SPIM is included as a component in the integrated security system of an embodiment to enable the use of wireless-to-serial encapsulation in the security system. The integrated security system therefore integrates broadband and mobile access and control with conventional security systems and premise devices to provide a multi-mode security network (broadband, cellular/GSM/3G/LTE, 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.
Generally, the SPIM of an embodiment enables a remote system (e.g., gateway, touchscreen, security server, central monitoring station, etc.) to communicate with a system or device that internally uses a proprietary protocol (“proprietary system”). In an embodiment the system that uses the proprietary protocol is a legacy security system, but this could be any type of system or device using a proprietary protocol. The SPIM functions in the role of a monitoring-and-control device in that it performs the functions necessary to pass data and commands from the remote device or system to the proprietary system, and to pass data of events reported by the proprietary system from the proprietary system to the remote device or system.
The SPIM, enabled as a cellular or broadband device, enables legacy security systems to communicate with a remote server or other remote system to provide remote control of the security system, remote display of security status and data, and notifications regarding user specified condition changes. The SPIM also enables alarm notifications and reporting, where alarm reports are generated by the security system and communicated to the SPIM via an interface or, alternatively, the alarm reports are generated by the SPIM using data received at the SPIM from the security system. Additionally, the SPIM enables remote control of home management devices that include but are not limited to Z-Wave devices, Zigbee devices, WiFi devices, cameras, touch screens, lights, locks, thermostats, and blinds, to name a few.
The SPIM communicates with the proprietary system using any protocol(s) required of the proprietary system. Similarly, the SPIM communicates with remote systems or devices using one or more protocols as appropriate to the remote system/device and/or network couplings or connections between the SPIM and the remote system/device.
The integrated security system of an embodiment uses Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) for commands from the remote system to the SPIM, and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for transmitting to the remote system event data received at the SPIM from the security panel. However, the SPIM can communicate with the remote system using various protocols as appropriate to the communication protocol of the remote system (e.g., serial protocol (may or may not be the same as the serial protocol of the proprietary system), Ethernet (TCP/Internet Protocol (IP)), WiFi (TCP/IP), etc.). Regardless, the SPIM translates between the serial communication protocol of the panel/bus and the protocol of the remote system as appropriate to the direction of the communication.
The SPIM functions to insulate the remote system from low-level implementation details of the proprietary system and provides an interface by which data of the proprietary system is extracted from the proprietary system and communicated to remote systems of a variety of types using any type of communication protocol available as the state of the art. The SPIM further enables the protocol translations necessary for communicating with the proprietary system to be performed at any component of the remote system, including the SPIM.
When the SPIM receives data from proprietary system, the SPIM can directly transmit the proprietary system data to a remote system where the data is processed. Alternatively, the SPIM processes the received data before transmitting the processed data to a remote system. For example, the SPIM can directly transfer the data to an intermediate device (e.g., gateway, IP device on wide area network (WAN), etc.) using an appropriate protocol, and the intermediate device uses a protocol (e.g., SMA protocol, 3G, broadband, etc.) to transmit the data to a remote server where the data is processed. Additionally, the SPIM can directly transfer the data to an intermediate device (e.g., gateway, etc.) using WiFi, Ethernet, or a serial connection and the intermediate device processes the data. Further, the SPIM of an embodiment uses a protocol (e.g., Z-Wave, etc.) as a transport mechanism by which it sends packets to a remote system or device. The embodiments are not however limited to the examples described herein.
In an embodiment in which the proprietary system is a security system, the security system includes a security panel, also referred to as a control panel, or panel. The panel includes a processor and an internal bus or other communication medium that couples the panel to and enables communication with peripheral devices of the security system, where the peripheral devices include one or more of keypads, automation modules, extender modules, and output modules. The security panel can include more than one bus or communication medium. The buses of an embodiment are typically serial buses that are referred to as “multi-drop” buses because they couple to and enable communication with multiple devices, but are not so limited.
The legacy system buses function as polling interfaces by which the security panel polls the security system devices coupled to the bus (and registered with the panel) as to the existence of data, commands, or information that is to be sent to or exchanged with the panel. Inherent in this polling bus communication configuration are tightly constrained timing requirements for the communications between the panel and the coupled devices.
An alternative bus configuration is a point-to-point configuration in which the bus is coupled to the security panel on one end and a single device on the other end of the bus. In this configuration, the panel polls the device as to the availability of data or, alternatively, the device transmits commands or data to panel as they become available.
Because the bus is a serial bus, it cannot be used to communicate directly with systems or devices that are not connected to the bus meaning it cannot communicate directly via various other means of communication (e.g., 3G, wireless, internet, WiFi, etc.). Also, the bus cannot be used to communicate directly with devices that are not able to comply with the strict communication timing constraints. For this reason the SPIM is used to enable communication between the serial bus of the security panel and remote systems that are not on the serial bus.
The SPIM serves as a monitoring-and-control interface between remote systems and the security panel and, in so doing, serves as a protocol translator for those communications. The SPIM is used to manage and control the protocol translation, communication translation (electrical conversion) and timing constraints associated with communication between the panel and remote systems. The handling of control enables the sending of commands from remote systems to the security panel and receiving responses in turn. The monitoring segment enabled by the SPIM deals with the receipt at the remote systems of events and data transmitted or reported by the security panel. Event data sent from the security panel can be asynchronously transmitted by the panel to the remote system but is not so limited. Alternatively, the remote system polls the panel via the SPIM for the events.
Regarding the polling, the SPIM may conduct polling operations on behalf of the remote system. Event data received in response from the panel can be buffered at the SPIM and sent to the remote system in due course, or retransmitted to the remote system immediately upon receipt.
Processing and/or applications relating to the SPIM or operations of the SPIM can be executing on one or more of at least one processor hosted on the SPIM and at least one processor coupled to the SPIM. For example, the applications can be executing on one or more of the remote gateway, the remote touchscreen, and the remote server.
The SPIM of an embodiment makes use of an abbreviated command set (relative to the control panel) that is abstracted away from particular implementations of the panel. In one embodiment, the SPIM includes a protocol translator that maps between specific commands of the underlying system and more generic commands of the remote system. While the translator or translator mapping is a component of the SPIM of an embodiment, it is not so limited and can be hosted in or coupled to one or more other components of remote system.
Regarding the transmission of alarm events to a central monitoring service or station (CMS), the SPIM of an embodiment sends alarm events directly to the CMS (e.g., over at least one of a broadband coupling or connection, or 3G coupling or connection, etc.). The SPIM of an alternative embodiment sends alarm events to an intermediate device (e.g., system, server, etc.), and the intermediate device in turn forwards the alarm events to the CMS. The SPIM of another alternative embodiment sends alarm events through a local gateway or other system or device, and the gateway in turn sends the alarm events to the CMS (e.g., directly, through an intermediate server, etc.).
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 the SPIM that communicates with the proprietary security system using the protocol(s) required of the proprietary system. The SPIM enables the security system to communicate with a remote system to provide remote control of the security system, remote display of security status and data, and notifications regarding user specified condition changes. The system includes an RF-capable Gateway device (physically located within RF range of the RF-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 SPIM of an embodiment is an all-in one device that includes the components of the SPIM described herein, along with components used for one or more of WiFi communication, 3G communication, Z-Wave, and Zigbee communication. Alternatively, the SPIM includes only the SPIM components described herein, and is coupled to other communication components. For example, one or more of the WiFi communication component, 3G communication component, Z-Wave communication, and Zigbee component can be hosted in the gateway, and the SPIM communicates with the gateway over a serial coupling or connection.
As a general example,
The SPIM of an embodiment includes one or more RF interfaces or communication devices that enable wireless communications with remote devices. For example, the SPIM of an embodiment includes a communication device that is a cellular interface that enables the SPIM to communicate via a remote cellular network directly to remote cellular-enabled systems. The cellular interface enables the SPIM to communicate directly with the external central monitoring station (CMS), and/or to communicate directly with the network servers. The communication device of an embodiment includes any device or combination of wireless communication devices, for example, a cellular communication device, a third Generation (3G) communication device, a High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) communication device, an Enhanced Voice-Data Optimized (EVDO) communication device, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication device, a broadband communication device, a radio frequency (RF) communication device, a WiFi communication device, a Z-Wave communication device, a Zigbee communication device, a proprietary RF communication device (e.g., 900 MHz, 433 MHz, etc.), and a plain old telephone service (POTS) device, to name a few.
The SPIM of an embodiment is coupled or connected to broadband by routing an Ethernet cable from the SPIM into a router or broadband modem. Alternatively, the coupling or connection between the SPIM and broadband includes a WiFi hop to a WiFi Access Point that is then coupled or connected to (or included in) the broadband (e.g., cable, DSL, etc.) modem. In yet another embodiment, the coupling or connection between the SPIM and broadband includes a WiFi hop to a 3G or 4G personal wireless device (e.g., MiFi, cellular telephone, etc.).
Communication between the SPIM and a remote system (e.g., remote server, cellular telephone, etc.) can includes use of a “command channel” over which various commands are sent (e.g., disarm security system, turn on a light, etc.). The command channel of an embodiment comprises at least one of an “always-on” socket connection initiated/maintained by the SPIM, and an ephemeral coupling or connection that is initiated by the remote system sending a shoulder-tap SMS message (after receiving the shoulder-tap, the SPIM opens a socket connection to the server). This command channel is used to get around firewall restrictions, and network-address-space limitations, which make it impossible for the server to simply open a network connection to SPIM. For broadband-connected SPIMs, the “always-on” command channel is used in an embodiment because of the low-latency connection (that is, when sending a command, the remote server sends it on the open channel instead of waiting for a shoulder tap to be received in order to initiate a callback. For cellular-connected SPIMs, the “shoulder-tap initiated” command channel is used in an embodiment to avoid the data-usage and system resources required with keeping the command channel open.
The SPIM of an embodiment also includes an alarm interface that receives an alarm report directly from security system, and sends the report directly to the CMS and/or other designated remote devices via the SPIM communication device. The alarm interface alternatively sends the alarm report to an off-site system or server via the gateway/touchscreen.
As an alternative to receiving an alarm report from the security system, the alarm interface receives security state data or information from the security system, generates an alarm report using the security state information, and sends the generated alarm report directly to one or more of the CMS and/or other designated remote devices. The alarm interface alternatively sends the alarm report to an off-site system or server via the gateway/touchscreen.
The SPIM of an embodiment includes an onboard scheduling and/or rules engine that enables the end-user to program schedules and automations. This is particularly useful for SPIMs that are able to control associated devices (e.g., Z-Wave device, Zigbee device, etc.). For example, some Z-Wave thermostats (e.g., Radio Thermostat if America's CT-100) are not end-user-programmable with different temperature set-points at different times of the day. Running such thermostat schedules on a remote system (e.g., remote server, etc.) is possible; however, the remote system then has to send commands to the thermostat several times a day to change parameters (e.g., heat and/or cool set-points, system modes, fan modes, etc.). The bandwidth, delay, and uncertainty associated with the remote system calling the SPIM with thermostat settings changes can be avoided by running the schedule locally on the SPIM.
The SPIM of an embodiment locally controls automatic actions of an associated system (e.g., causing a light to turn on in response to opening of a door, etc.). This SPIM-based automation logic improves bandwidth and speed by avoiding the requirement to send the event or event information to the remote system, having the logic of the remote system decide that an action is to be taken, and then sending a command back to the SPIM. This is particularly useful when the automation involves a security-panel sensor (e.g., door sensor, window sensor, motion sensor, etc.) triggering a video or snapshot capture from a camera, because the delay in getting the sensor event of the panel to a remote security server, and the resulting capture command making it back to the camera, is often too long for such an automaton to be useful. By having the automation logic run in the SPIM, a relatively shorter delay is realized between the trigger event (e.g., door open), and the action (e.g., video capture).
More particularly,
The SPIM hardware interface module includes but is not limited to a processor (not shown) coupled or connected to a real-time bus interface 2231, a bus protocol or protocol module 2232, and at least one communication device. The communication device of an embodiment includes one or more of a WiFi client module 2233, a cellular interface 2234, and an alarm interface 2235. Generally, however, the communication device comprises any device or combination of wireless communication devices, for example, a cellular communication device, a third Generation (3G) communication device, a High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) communication device, an Enhanced Voice-Data Optimized (EVDO) communication device, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication device, a broadband communication device, a WiFi communication device, a Z-Wave communication device, a Zigbee communication device, and a plain old telephone service (POTS) device, to name a few. The SPIM of an embodiment includes a self-contained power source and backup power source but, alternatively, the SPIM is coupled or connected to the power source and backup power source of the security system.
The security system 2210 is connected to the SPIM 2230 of the external control and management system via a wire interface 2280 between a processing component of the security system 2210 and the bus interface 2231 of the SPIM 2230. The processing component to which the bus interface 2231 of an embodiment is coupled is a security panel bus device 2213 of the security panel 2211, but the embodiment is not so limited. Embodiments of the wire interface 2280 include but are not limited to a TTL interface, an RS 232 interface, an RS422 interface, etc.
The SPIM of an embodiment encapsulates proprietary security system data and transmits it to a remote system (e.g., remote server, etc.) where the security system data is parsed and processed. Alternatively, the SPIM encapsulates the proprietary security system data and transmits it to the Gateway where the security system data is parsed and processed. In yet another alternative embodiment, the SPIM parses proprietary security system data, initiates actions appropriate to the data, and sends instructions to the Gateway and/or remote system (e.g., remote server, etc.). Regardless of particular embodiment, the SPIM manages the timing and framing requirements of data exchanges with the security system.
The SPIM couples to the Gateway 2220 via an RF link 2270. The RF link 2270 of this example is a WiFi link to a WiFi access point 2223 of the Gateway, but alternatively can include any type of radio frequency (RF) link (e.g., Z-Wave, Zigbee, cellular, etc.). The wireless link is a hop in the “sandbox” WiFi network described in detail herein. In alternative embodiments the Gateway 2220 is a touchscreen coupled or connected to the Gateway 2220 or a touchscreen incorporating components and/or functionality of the Gateway 2220, as described in detail herein.
The Gateway 2220 is coupled to a broadband network 2230, and the broadband network 2230 provides couplings and/or access to a plurality of information and content sources including one or more web servers 2240, system databases 2250, and applications servers 2260 to name a few. The broadband network 2230 comprises the Internet, including the World Wide Web, and/or any other type of network, such as an intranet, an extranet, a virtual private network (VPN), a mobile network, or a non-TCP/IP based network, for example.
Security system 2210 includes 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 as described in detail herein. In an example, security system 2210 includes a security panel (SP) 2211 that acts as the master controller for security system 2210. Examples of such a security panel include but are not limited to the UTC Interlogix Concord, Networx, and Simon panels, the Honeywell Vista and Lynx panels, and similar panels from DSC and Napco. A wireless module 2212 includes the RF hardware and protocol software to enable communication with and control of security system components that include a plurality of wireless devices. The security system components include, for example, door contacts, window contacts, motion sensors, and glass-break detectors, but are not so limited. The security panel 2211 may also manage wired security system components 2214 physically connected to the security panel 2211 with an RS232, a conventional DC or AC circuit for contacts, or RS485 or Ethernet connection or similar such wired interface.
In an embodiment, Gateway 2220 provides the interface between security system 2210 and LAN and/or WAN for purposes of remote control, monitoring, and management. Gateway 2220 communicates with an external web server 2240, database 2250, and application server 2260 over network 2230 (which may comprise WAN, LAN, cellular or a combination thereof). In this example, application logic, remote user interface functionality, as well as user state and account information is managed by the combination of these remote servers. Gateway 2220 includes server connection manager 2221, a software interface module responsible for all server communication over network 2230 (including cellular and/or IP WAN connectivity). While the Gateway 2220 of an embodiment is a managed device managed by the remote servers, the Gateway of an alternative embodiment is invisible to the remote servers and serves as nothing more than a pass-through for data and communications.
The Device Manager 2224 of Gateway 2220 processes events and control messages exchanged with the security system 2210 using the SPIM 2230. Device Manager 2224 relies upon SPIM 2230 which receives and stores the proprietary or standards-based protocols used to support the security system 2210. SPIM 2230 further uses the comprehensive protocols and interface algorithms for a plurality of security systems 2210 stored in the security panel client database associated with security panel protocol manager 2226. These various components implement the software logic and protocols necessary to communicate with and manage the security system 2210 as well as other remote devices. The SPIM 2230 is used as an intermediary between Gateway 2220 and Security System 2210 for all security interfaces. In this example, RF Link 2270 represents the 802.11n (WiFi) RF communication link, enabling gateway 2220 to monitor and control security panel 2211 and associated wireless and wired devices 2214, but is not so limited.
In addition to communicating with Security System 2210 and with security system components, Gateway 2220 communicates with other remote devices at the premises. Gateway 2220 includes Wireless Transceiver hardware modules 2225 that are used to implement the physical RF communications links to remote devices.
Regarding communications with the security system 2210, the server connection manager 2221 of Gateway 2220 of an embodiment requests and receives a set of wireless protocols for a specific security system 2210 (an example being that of the GE Security Concord panel and sensors) and stores the protocols in the database portion of the wireless protocol manager 2226. The WiFi access point manager 2223 then uses the protocols from wireless protocol manager 2226 to initiate the sequence of processes described herein for learning gateway 2220 into security system 2210 as an authorized control device. Once learned in, event manager 222 (described with reference to FIG. 4) processes all events and messages detected by the combination of the WiFi access point manager 2223 and the wireless transceiver module 2225 of Gateway 2220.
Gateway 2220 of an embodiment comprises one or more wireless transceivers 2225 and associated protocols managed by wireless protocol manager 2226. In this embodiment, events and control of multiple heterogeneous devices may be coordinated with security panel 2211, wireless devices 2213, and wired devices 2214. For example, a wireless sensor from one manufacturer may be utilized to control a device using a different protocol from a different manufacturer.
The SPIM 2230 of an embodiment includes a cellular interface 2234. The cellular interface 2234 enables the SPIM 2230 to communicate via a remote cellular network to remote cellular-enabled systems. For example, the cellular interface 2234 enables the SPIM 2230 to communicate directly with the external central monitoring station (CMS), and/or to communicate directly with the Application Server 2260, without requiring a separate Gateway device.
The SPIM 2230 of an embodiment includes an alarm interface 2235. The alarm interface 2235 receives an alarm report directly from Security System 2210. Under this embodiment, the Wire Interface 2280 between the SPIM 2230 and the Security System 2210 includes a connection to one of the security panel bus 2213 or the phone line RJ11 connection used for POTS alarm transmission. The alarm interface 2235 then forwards the report to one or more of the CMS, Application Server 2260, or another off-site server designated by the service provider. The alarm interface 2235 of an embodiment sends the alarm report to an off-site system or server via the Gateway 2220. Alternatively, the alarm interface 2235 sends the alarm report to an off-site system or server directly using the cellular interface 2234.
As an alternative to receiving an alarm report from the security system 2210, the alarm interface 2235 receives security state data or information from the security system 2210. The alarm interface 2235 uses the security state information received from the security system via Wire Interface 2280 to generate an alarm report. The alarm interface 2235 forwards the report to one or more of the CMS, Application Server 2260, or another off-site server designated by the service provider. The alarm interface 2235 of an embodiment sends the alarm report to an off-site system or server via the Gateway 2220. Alternatively, the alarm interface 2235 sends the alarm report to an off-site system or server directly using the cellular interface 2234.
When initially powered on, the SPIM may be enrolled in the security panel as a known type of device or devices (e.g. as a keypad or an ‘automation module’). The Gateway and/or touchscreen device, also referred to herein as the iHub, is placed in an operational state 3111, from which the Gateway initiates 3112 a software and RF sequence to locate, enroll, and interface to the SPIM device. The SPIM may be enrolled with the Gateway device using conventional WiFi enrollment procedures, including WPS, web-based SSID/password entry, or automatic MAC address discovery and SPIM configuration by the Gateway, to name a few.
The SPIM begins monitoring information on the security panel bus and communications with the Gateway over the WiFi RF link 3113. For the security system, the SPIM monitors for a state change in the security panel (e.g., an alarm condition, sensor fault (e.g., door open, etc.), etc.) 3120 or other data of the security system. For the Gateway, the SPIM listens for a Gateway request (e.g., ‘Arm Panel’, ‘Get Zone Names’, etc.) 3122 directed to the security system. If neither the security panel nor Gateway need or provide information, the SPIM continues monitoring operations 3113.
In the event that a security panel state change is detected 3120, then the SPIM processes the state change information 3121 as described in detail herein, and forwards the new state information to the Gateway over the Wifi RF link 3124. In the event that the SPIM receives from the Gateway a command or request for data from the security panel, the SPIM receives this request 3123 and formulates a command sequence on the security panel bus 3125. The formulation is followed by an implementation of the command in the native bus protocol 3126 and involves details described herein.
In an 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. The SPIM can then be a WiFi device, IP LAN wired device, or an RF device using a different protocol such as Z-Wave or Zigbee, for example, so that the use of the WiFi-to-serial encapsulation can be generalized for use with other serial interfaces like Z-Wave, Zigbee and other home management devices. Consequently, regardless of the particular device involved in a system, the WiFi-to-serial encapsulation enables moving of the serial device drivers to other locations in a network (near the device or radio) to separate them from the WiFi management device or access point. For example, the software running on a system controller is too far from a smart meter to use a local serial adapter (e.g. USB dongle radio) to connect via Zigbee, so the Zigbee dongle is plugged into a different device that has a WiFi or TCP connection (like a home router or iHub panel) and the encapsulation allows that device to appear like a local serial device for application purposes.
While an illustrative embodiment of a system consistent with the systems and methods described herein is described in detail, one of skill in the art will understand that modifications to this architecture may be made without departing from the scope of the embodiments described herein. For example, the functionality described herein may be allocated differently between client and server, or amongst different server components. Likewise, the entire functionality of the SPIM 2230 described herein could be integrated completely within an existing security system 2210. In such an embodiment, the Gateway 2220 could be directly integrated with a security system 2210 in a manner consistent with currently described embodiments herein.
As described herein, the wireless-to-serial encapsulation of an embodiment uses a WiFi coupling or connection. While a security panel or SPIM can incorporate or include a WiFi client directly into the security panel or SPIM, embodiments described herein provide a SPIM implemented as a “WiFi SPIM” (WiSPIM) for interfacing to conventional security systems. The WiSPIM is a WiFi interface module that is separate from the panel or SPIM, and enables communication between a conventional security panel or SPIM and the iHub.
More particularly, the WiSPIM of an embodiment communicates with the security panel or SPIM using the existing serial line, and communicates with the iHub (Gateway and/or Touchscreen) via a WiFi coupling or connection so that no changes are necessary to the legacy security panels or SPIMs. The WiSPIM provides transparent serial-to-WiFi bridging between the iHub and legacy security equipment, and includes wireless security using, for example, WPA2 Personal, and optional addition of application-level encryption via SSL/TLS.
The WiSPIM of an embodiment includes provisioning such that the WiSPIMs WiFi credentials (e.g., authentication keys/passwords, IP address, configuration, settings, etc.) are obtained from the iHub via the WiFi coupling. Furthermore, the WiSPIM includes management functionality in which the WiSPIM configuration and status (including WiFi signal strength, settings, noise, error rates, statistics, etc.) are available to the iHub via WiFi. Alternatively, the provisioning and accessibility of configuration and status information of the WiSPIM are accessed using the security panel (e.g., keypad-based menus, etc.). The WiSPIM also supports over-the-air WiSPIM firmware upgrades.
The WiSPIM receives power from the security panel/SPIM, power adaptor, and/or battery, but is not so limited. The WiSPIM of an embodiment includes a low-power mode that functions to provide an optional WiSPIM sleep/power-off upon panel AC-power failure, with or without delay.
The WiSPIM of an embodiment includes an optional polling proxy that supports off-loading of panel/SPIM polling to the WiSPIM. The optional polling proxy is included or used, for example, when the communication protocol used by the remote system-to-SPIM or remote system-to-legacy system is such that polling over the WiFi link is very inefficient, or error prone, or there are tight timing constraints that cannot be efficiently met on a WiFi link. Security panels and SPIMs from various manufacturers present the iHub with different interface protocols, APIs, and methods of message exchange. Interfaces that are asynchronous in nature (where the panel/SPIM sends iHub messages-of-interest without any queries or prompting) are well suited to running over long-delay networks (e.g., Internet, cellular) or local shared-media networks (e.g., WiFi, Ethernet). However, security panel/SPIM interfaces that are synchronous in nature (where the iHub must continually query or prompt the security panel/SPIM for messages or data) can be inefficient when run over long-delay or shared-media networks. In such networks, a security panel/SPIM interface that requires polling can cause timing, resource utilization, and reliability problems. The WiSPIM realizes improved efficiency regarding these issues by off-loading the security panel/SPIM polling function that is currently performed by iHub daemons to the WiSPIM, a feature that is referred to herein as the WiSPIM “Polling Proxy.”
Depending upon the mechanics used by the security panel/SPIM for message exchange, the WiSPIM acts as one or more of an injection proxy, rewrite proxy, and/or full proxy, but is not limited to these functions. Each of these capabilities of the WiSPIM is described in detail herein.
In the roll of an injection proxy, the WiSPIM is a transparent pass-through for non-polling-related messages between the iHub and security panel/SPIM. However, for the polling activities, the polling proxy injects the required polling-related commands into the message stream that arrives from iHub via WiFi, and sends the modified message stream onwards to the security panel/SPIM over the serial line. Similarly, the polling proxy filters out any benign polling-related responses (that is, those messages that are not of interest to iHub) from the message stream received from the security panel/SPIM over the serial line, and forwards the modified stream onwards to the iHub via WiFi. The WiSPIM is able to act in this injection-proxy fashion when the polling-related messages do not contain a message sequence number that is managed by iHub.
Regarding the rewrite proxy, the WiSPIM provides functionality similar to that provided in its role as the injection proxy, except the polling proxy rewrites the sequence numbers of all messages that pass-through the WiSPIM. This additional process performed by the rewrite proxy when the security panel/SPIM interface protocols polling-related messages (that is, those messages generated-by or destined-for WiSPIM) include a sequence number that is shared with a sequence number in the non-polling-related messages (that is, those messages generated-by or destined-for iHub). In this case, the WiSPIM Polling Proxy manages separate sets of sequence numbers, so that the sequence count appears continuous to both the security panel/SPIM and iHub.
As a full proxy, the WiSPIM polling proxy may act as an intermediary between the iHub and security panel/SPIM, providing message processing, logic, protocol translation, message timing adjustments, and/or message buffering or queuing. In this full-proxy case, messages from the iHub and/or the security panel/SPIM are received by the WiSPIM, parsed, and then acted upon. For example, the WiSPIM may receive from the iHub a query of the full sensor-array state (i.e., a request to see the state of all the panel's sensors), and then the WiSPIM may send the security panel/SPIM individual queries on each of the sensors in the system. The WiSPIM then packages the results into a single sensor state array response to the iHub. As another example, the WiSPIM may receive a query from the iHub to see if there have been any user-account modifications since the last query. The WiSPIM polls the panel/SPIM for user-account data, compares the panel/SPIM responses to a WiSPIM cache of user-account data, and then reports back to the iHub if there were any changes in the data.
The WiSPIM polling proxy can be explicitly enabled by configuration parameters that are set by the iHub. Else, the WiSPIM polling proxy can be run in “auto-sense” mode, where the WiSPIM inspects the message traffic to-or-from the iHub, and determines the type of security panel/SPIM that is connected to the WiSPIM, and the need for the WiSPIM to perform polling on behalf of the iHub. In auto-sense mode, if the WiSPIM detects that the panel type requires polling, and the WiSPIM sees that the iHub is not performing the required polling, then the WiSPIM polling proxy is automatically enabled.
Once the polling proxy is enabled, the WiSPIM continuously polls the security panel/SPIM over the serial line interface, looking for panel/SPIM messages or data that is of interest to the iHub. When a security panel/SPIM message or data is found, the WiSPIM asynchronously sends the message or data to the iHub over a socket connection on the WiFi network.
The WiSPIM polling proxy can perform one or both of message polling and data polling. In performing message polling, some security panels and SPIMs present master/slave interfaces, where the iHub (master) must always query the panel/SPIM (slave) for new messages. The new messages themselves may be any of a variety of state changes (arms/disarms, sensor trips, etc.), mode changes (installer programming lead-out, entering walk-test mode, etc.), resource changes (sensors added, users deleted, etc.), responses to iHub commands (arm command was successful, sensor bypass attempt failure, etc), message management (command acknowledgement, command error, etc), or other panel/SPIM communication. As a message proxy, the WiSPIM polling proxy interacts with the security panel/SPIM, continuously providing the polling commands that prompt for new messages to be sent from the panel/SPIM.
For data polling, all security panels maintain internal state data (e.g., arm levels, outstanding alarms and trouble conditions, etc.) and resource data (e.g., collections of sensor, access-code, devices, etc.). However, changes to the state and/or resource data of the security panel/SPIM may not be asynchronously sent to the iHub. In such a case, to learn of state and/or resource changes, the iHub polls (that is, periodically queries) the security panel/SPIM. State and/or resource data is received by the iHub, the data is compared to a cache of the data from a previous query, and state and/or resource changes are inferred. Instead of the iHub performing the data polling activity, the WiSPIM polling proxy can perform this data polling instead.
The WiSPIM polling proxy maintains internal statistics (counts over a given period), including but not limited to polls performed, commands received from the iHub, messages/data of interest forwarded to the iHub, errors encountered, message retries needed, etc. These statistics are available to the iHub in-band with the security panel/SPIM message stream, or out-of-band on a management socket connection.
The WiSPIM polling proxy maintains internal configuration parameters, including but not limited to enable/disable, auto-sense on/off, security panel and SPIM type, polling type and level, polling commands used, polling rate, statistic period, etc. These parameters may be configured by the iHub either in-band with the security panel/SPIM message stream, or out-of-band on a management socket 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.
With reference to
Clients 120 used by end-users of the integrated security system 100 include, but are not limited to, the following:
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 a gateway 102 is located. Users can only access the networks to which they have been granted permission. Within a network, 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.
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:
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. 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:
Each API of an embodiment includes three modes of access that include Java API, REST API, or XML API, but the embodiment is not so limited. 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. The REST APIs are accessible through Javascriptor Java and provide an extremely flexibile approach to building user interfaces or new application components. 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.
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:
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:
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.
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/or a cellular 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.
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:
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 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 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.
Referring to the WAN portion 410 of the gateway 102, 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 (or any cellular network such as 3G, LTE, etc.) 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 the gateway 102 and the iConnect server 104 and the GPRS/CDMA/3G 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. In an embodiment cellular communications is the primary means of communications between the Gateway and the servers and CMS, but is not so limited.
Referring to the LAN portion 420 of the gateway 102, various protocols and physical transceivers can be used to communicate to off-the-shelf sensors and cameras. The gateway 102 is protocol-agnostic and technology-agnostic and as such can easily support almost any device networking protocol. The gateway 102 can, for example, support GE and Honeywell security 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.
The examples described above with reference to
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.
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
The application engine of the touchscreen provides the presentation and interactivity capabilities for all applications (widgets) that run on the touchscreen, including both core security function widgets and third party content widgets.
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 alogorithms.
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
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
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 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. 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. 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 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. 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 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. The video routing engine is described in detail in the Related applications.
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,
An embodiment of the IP device discovery and management begins with a user or installer activating 1302 the gateway and initiating 1304 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 1306 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 1308 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 1310 data as appropriate to the devices. Once selected, the devices are configured 1312 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 1314 with the integrated security system servers.
The installer switches 1316 the gateway to an operational mode, and the gateway instructs or directs 1318 all newly configured devices to switch to the “secured” Wifi sandbox settings. The gateway then switches 1320 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 1322 the new addresses. The devices with the new addresses are then operational 1324 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.

In an embodiment of this security system connection, the touchscreen 1403 communicates to the gateway 1402, and has no direct communication with the security panel. In this embodiment, the touchscreen core application 1410 accesses the remote service APIs 1412 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, the remote service APIs 1412 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 1412 of an embodiment use a remote PanelConnect API 1424 which resides in memory on the gateway 1402. The touchscreen 1403 communicates with the gateway 1402 through a suitable network interface such as an Ethernet or 802.11 RF connection, for example. The remote PanelConnect API 1424 provides the underlying Security System Interfaces 1426 used to communicate with and control one or more types of security panel via wired link 1430 and/or RF link 3. The PanelConnect API 1224 provides responses and input to the remote services APIs 1426, 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, the PanelConnect 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 1403 implements the same PanelConnect API 1414 locally on the Touchscreen 1403, communicating directly with the Security Panel 2 and/or Sensors 2 over the proprietary RF link or over a wired link for that system. In this embodiment the Touchscreen 1403, instead of the gateway 1402, incorporates the 345 MHz RF transceiver to communicate directly with Security Panel 2 or Sensors 2 over the RF link 2. In the case of a wired link the Touchscreen 1403 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 1402 or the Touchscreen 1403 implements the remote service APIs. This embodiment includes a SPIM device, as described in detail herein, which comprises but is not limited to 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 SPIM 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 1410 calls functions in the remote service APIs 1412 (such as setArmState( )). These functions in turn couple or connect to the remote SPIM through a standard IP connection (“SPIM IP Link”) (e.g., Ethernet, Homeplug, the gateway's proprietary Wifi network, etc.). The SPIM 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.
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 1540 of sensors and has been integrated 1550 as a virtual control device in the extant security system, the system becomes operational. Thus, the security system and associated sensors are presented 1550 as accessible devices to a potential plurality of user interface subsystems.
The system of an embodiment integrates 1560 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 1570 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.
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 1610 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 the integrated security system 1600 of this example, security system 1610 includes an RF-capable wireless security panel (WSP) 1611 that acts as the master controller for security system 1610. 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. A wireless module 1614 includes the RF hardware and protocol software necessary to enable communication with and control of a plurality of wireless devices 1613. WSP 1611 may also manage wired devices 1614 physically connected to WSP 1611 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 1620 provides the interface between security system 1610 and LAN and/or WAN for purposes of remote control, monitoring, and management. Gateway 1620 communicates with an external web server 1640, database 1650, and application server 1660 over network 1630 (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 1620 includes server connection manager 1621, a software interface module responsible for all server communication over network 1630. Event manager 1622 implements the main event loop for Gateway 1620, processing events received from device manager 1624 (communicating with non-security system devices including but not limited to IP cameras, wireless thermostats, or remote door locks). Event manager 1622 further processes events and control messages from and to security system 1610 by utilizing WSP manager 1623.
WSP manager 1623 and device manager 1624 both rely upon wireless protocol manager 1626 which receives and stores the proprietary or standards-based protocols required to support security system 1610 as well as any other devices interfacing with gateway 1620. WSP manager 1623 further utilizes the comprehensive protocols and interface algorithms for a plurality of security systems 1610 stored in the WSP DB client database associated with wireless protocol manager 1626. These various components implement the software logic and protocols necessary to communicate with and manager devices and security systems 1610. Wireless Transceiver hardware modules 1625 are then used to implement the physical RF communications link to such devices and security systems 1610. An illustrative wireless transceiver 1625 is the GE Security Dialog circuit board, implementing a 319.5 MHz two-way RF transceiver module. In this example, RF Link 1670 represents the 319.5 MHz RF communication link, enabling gateway 1620 to monitor and control WSP 1611 and associated wireless and wired devices 1613 and 1614, respectively.
In one embodiment, server connection manager 1621 requests and receives a set of wireless protocols for a specific security system 1610 (an illustrative example being that of the GE Security Concord panel and sensors) and stores them in the WSP DB portion of the wireless protocol manager 1626. WSP manager 1623 then utilizes such protocols from wireless protocol manager 1626 to initiate the sequence of processes detailed in
In another embodiment, gateway 1620 incorporates a plurality of wireless transceivers 1625 and associated protocols managed by wireless protocol manager 1626. In this embodiment events and control of multiple heterogeneous devices may be coordinated with WSP 1611, wireless devices 1613, and wired devices 1614. 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 1620 incorporates a wired interface to security system 1610, and incorporates a plurality of wireless transceivers 1625 and associated protocols managed by wireless protocol manager 1626. In this embodiment events and control of multiple heterogeneous devices may be coordinated with WSP 1611, wireless devices 1613, and wired devices 1614.
Of course, while an illustrative embodiment of an architecture of the system of an embodiment is described in detail herein with respect to
Gateway 1620 utilizes the appropriate protocols to mimic 1760 the first identified device 1614. In this operation gateway 1620 identifies itself using the unique or pseudo-unique identifier of the first found device 1614, and sends an appropriate change of state message over RF Link 1670. In the event that WSP 1611 responds to this change of state message, the device 1614 is then added 1770 to the system in database 1650. Gateway 1620 associates 1780 any other information (such as zone name or token-based identifier) with this device 1614 in database 1650, enabling gateway 1620, user interface modules, or any application to retrieve this associated information.
In the event that WSP 1611 does not respond to the change of state message, the device 1614 is not added 1770 to the system in database 1650, and this device 1614 is identified as not being a part of security system 1610 with a flag, and is either ignored or added as an independent device, at the discretion of the system provisioning rules. Operations hereunder repeat 1785 operations 1760, 1770, 1780 for all devices 1614 if applicable. Once all devices 1614 have been tested in this way, the system begins operation 1790.
In another embodiment, gateway 1620 utilizes a wired connection to WSP 1611, but also incorporates a wireless transceiver 1625 to communicate directly with devices 1614. In this embodiment, operations under 1720 above are removed, and operations under 1740 above are modified so the system of this embodiment utilizes wireline protocols to add itself as an authorized control device in security system 1610.
A description of an example embodiment follows in which the Gateway (
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 (
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.,
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.
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. Optionally, 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.
In addition to the configurations described above, the gateway of an embodiment supports takeover configurations in which it is introduced or added into a legacy security system. A description of example takeover configurations follow in which the security system (
The security system can optionally include RF wireless sensors (e.g., GE wireless sensors utilizing the GE Dialog RF technology), IP cameras, a GE-iControl Touchscreen (the touchscreen is assumed to be an optional component in the configurations described herein, and is thus treated separately from the iHub; in systems in which the touchscreen is a component of the base security package, the integrated iScreen (available from iControl Networks, Palo Alto, Calif.) can be used to combine iHub technology with the touchscreen in a single unit), and Z-Wave devices to name a few.
The takeover configurations described below assume takeover by a “new” system of an embodiment of a security system provided by another third party vendor, referred to herein as an “original” or “legacy” system. Generally, the takeover begins with removal of the control panel and keypad of the legacy system. A GE Concord panel is installed to replace the control panel of the legacy system along with an iHub with GPRS Modem. The legacy system sensors are then connected or wired to the Concord panel, and a GE keypad or touchscreen is installed to replace the control panel of the legacy system. The iHub includes the iControl RF card, which is compatible with the legacy system. The iHub finds and manages the wireless sensors of the legacy system, and learns the sensors into the Concord by emulating the corresponding GE sensors. The iHub effectively acts as a relay for legacy wireless sensors.
Once takeover is complete, the new security system provides a homogeneous system that removes the compromises inherent in taking over or replacing a legacy system. For example, the new system provides a modern touchscreen that may include additional functionality, new services, and supports integration of sensors from various manufacturers. Furthermore, lower support costs can be realized because call centers, installers, etc. are only required to support one architecture. Additionally, there is minimal install cost because only the panel is required to be replaced as a result of the configuration flexibility offered by the iHub.
The system takeover configurations described below include but are not limited to a dedicated wireless configuration, a dedicated wireless configuration that includes a touchscreen, and a fished Ethernet configuration. Each of these configurations is described in detail below.
The GE-iControl Touchscreen can be used with either of an 802.11 connection or Ethernet connection with the iHub. Because the takeover involves a GE Concord panel (or Simon XT), the touchscreen is always an option. No extra wiring is required for the touchscreen as it can use the 4-wire set from the replaced keypad of the legacy system. This provides power, battery backup (through Concord), and data link (RS485 Superbus 2000) between Concord and touchscreen. The touchscreen receives its broadband connectivity through the dedicated 802.11 link to the iHub.
The takeover installation process is similar to the installation process described above, except the control panel of the legacy system is replaced; therefore, only the differences with the installation described above are provided here. The takeover approach of an embodiment uses the existing RS485 control interfaces that GE Security and iControl support with the iHub, touchscreen, and Concord panel. With these interfaces, the iHub is capable of automatically enrolling sensors in the panel. The exception is the leverage of an iControl RF card compatible with legacy systems to ‘takeover’ existing RF sensors. A description of the takeover installation process follows.
During the installation process, the iHub uses an RF Takeover Card to automatically extract all sensor IDs, zones, and names from the legacy panel. The installer removes connections at the legacy panel from hardwired wired sensors and labels each with the zone. The installer pulls the legacy panel and replaces it with the GE Concord panel. The installer also pulls the existing legacy keypad and replaces it with either a GE keypad or a GE-iControl touchscreen. The installer connects legacy hardwired sensors to appropriate wired zone (from labels) on the Concord. The installer connects the iHub to the local network and connects the iHub RS485 interface to the Concord panel. The iHub automatically ‘enrolls’ legacy RF sensors into the Concord panel as GE sensors (maps IDs), and pushes or otherwise propagates other information gathered from HW panel (zone, name, group). The installer performs a test of all sensors back to CMS. In operation, the iHub relays legacy sensor data to the Concord panel, emulating equivalent GE sensor behavior and protocols.
The areas of the installation process particular to the legacy takeover include how the iHub extracts sensor info from the legacy panel and how the iHub automatically enrolls legacy RF sensors and populates Concord with wired zone information. Each of these areas is described below.
In having the iHub extract sensor information from the legacy panel, the installer ‘enrolls’ iHub into the legacy panel as a wireless keypad (use install code and house ID available from panel). The iHub legacy RF Takeover Card is a compatible legacy RF transceiver. The installer uses the web portal to place iHub into ‘Takeover Mode’, and the web portal the automatically instructs the iHub to begin extraction. The iHub queries the panel over the RF link (to get all zone information for all sensors, wired and RF). The iHub then stores the legacy sensor information received during the queries on the iConnect server.
The iHub also automatically enrolls legacy RF sensors and populates Concord with wired zone information. In so doing, the installer selects ‘Enroll legacy Sensors into Concord’ (next step in ‘Takeover’ process on web portal). The iHub automatically queries the iConnect server, and downloads legacy sensor information previously extracted. The downloaded information includes an ID mapping from legacy ID to ‘spoofed’ GE ID. This mapping is stored on the server as part of the sensor information (e.g., the iConnect server knows that the sensor is a legacy sensor acting in GE mode). The iHub instructs Concord to go into install mode, and sends appropriate Superbus 2000 commands for sensor learning to the panel. For each sensor, the ‘spoofed’ GE ID is loaded, and zone, name, and group are set based on information extracted from legacy panel. Upon completion, the iHub notifies the server, and the web portal is updated to reflect next phase of Takeover (e.g., ‘Test Sensors’).
Sensors are tested in the same manner as described above. When a HW sensor is triggered, the signal is captured by the iHub legacy RF Takeover Card, translated to the equivalent GE RF sensor signal, and pushed to the panel as a sensor event on the SuperBus 2000 wires.
In support of remote programming of the panel, CMS pushes new programming to Concord over a phone line, or to the iConnect CMS/Alarm Server API, which in turn pushes the programming to the iHub. The iHub uses the Concord Superbus 2000 RS485 link to push the programming to the Concord panel.
