Wireless entrance communication device
A device for communicating including a housing including a camera, a microphone, a speaker, a button, a battery, a sensor, non-volatile memory, a processor, and a wireless communications module, wherein the non-volatile memory stores code operable by the processor for switching the processor from low-power mode to active mode in response to an activation trigger, receiving, from the one of the microphone and the camera, outbound audio and video signals, then sending a signal to a server via the wireless communications module during active mode, the signal including one or more of an alert signal, a signal based on the outbound audio signal, and a signal based on the outbound video signal, receiving from the server an inbound audio signal and outputting a signal based on the inbound audio signal via the speaker, and switching the processor from active mode to low-power mode in response to a deactivation trigger.
1. A computer-implemented method for a wireless communication doorbell including a plurality of motion sensors, the method comprising:
displaying, on a display of a computing device, a diagram comprising a plurality of motion zones, each of the motion zones corresponding to an area of a field of view of at least one of the plurality of motion sensors of the wireless communication doorbell;
determining whether an input has been received to toggle a selected one of the motion zones ON or OFF;
when an input has been received to toggle the selected one of the motion zones ON or OFF, toggling the selected one of the motion zones ON or OFF;
determining whether an input has been received to adjust a range of the motion sensors;
when an input has been received to adjust a range of the motion sensors, increasing or decreasing the range of the motion sensors;
determining whether an input has been received to save any changed settings; and
when an input has been received to save any changed settings, saving the changed settings.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the motion zones is enumerated with a unique zone number.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the diagram is a top view.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the diagram includes an ON/OFF indicator for each of the motion zones.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether an input has been received to adjust a range of the motion sensors comprises detecting movement of a slider widget on the display of the computing device.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising indicating a current setting of the range of the motion sensors with contrasting colors or shades of the same color on the display of the computing device.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein a darker area indicates an area where the motion sensors will detect motion, and a lighter area indicates an area where the motion sensors will not detect motion.
8. A non-transitory machine readable medium of an electronic device storing an application executable by at least one processing unit of the electronic device, the application comprising sets of instructions for:
displaying, on a display of the electronic device, a diagram comprising a plurality of motion zones, each of the motion zones corresponding to an area of a field of view of at least one of a plurality of motion sensors of a communication doorbell;
determining whether an input has been received to toggle a selected one of the motion zones ON or OFF;
when an input has been received to toggle the selected one of the motion zones ON or OFF, toggling the selected one of the motion zones ON or OFF;
determining whether an input has been received to save any changed settings; and
when an input has been received to save any changed settings, saving the changed settings.
9. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 8 , wherein each of the motion zones is enumerated with a unique zone number.
10. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the diagram is a top view.
11. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the diagram includes an ON/OFF indicator for each of the motion zones.
12. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the application further comprises a set of instructions for indicating a current setting of a range of the motion sensors with contrasting colors or shades of the same color on the display of the computing device.
13. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 12 , wherein a darker area indicates an area where the motion sensors will detect motion, and a lighter area indicates an area where the motion sensors will not detect motion.
14. A computer-implemented method for a wireless communication doorbell including a plurality of motion sensors, the method comprising:
displaying, on a display of a computing device, a diagram comprising a plurality of motion zones, each of the motion zones corresponding to an area of a field of view of at least one of the plurality of motion sensors of the wireless communication doorbell;
determining whether an input has been received to adjust a range of the motion sensors;
when an input has been received to adjust a range of the motion sensors, increasing or decreasing the range of the motion sensors;
determining whether an input has been received to save any changed settings; and
when an input has been received to save any changed settings, saving the changed settings.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein each of the motion zones is enumerated with a unique zone number.
16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the diagram is a top view.
17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the diagram includes an ON/OFF indicator for each of the motion zones.
18. The method of claim 14 , wherein determining whether an input has been received to adjust a range of the motion sensors comprises detecting movement of a slider widget on the display of the computing device.
19. The method of claim 14 , further comprising indicating a current setting of the range of the motion sensors with contrasting colors or shades of the same color on the display of the computing device.
20. The method of claim 19 , wherein a darker area indicates an area where the motion sensors will detect motion, and a lighter area indicates an area where the motion sensors will not detect motion.
21. The method of claim 1 , wherein toggling the selected one of the motion zones OFF causes one or more of the plurality of motion sensors corresponding to the selected motion zone not to trigger a motion alert when movement is detected in the selected motion zone.
22. The method of claim 21 , wherein the motion alert is sent as a notification to a client device that is associated with the wireless communication doorbell.
