DETERMINING WHAT THE INDICATORS REPRESENT ON A SECURITY DEVICE
A device, server and methods for translating captured media of a premises device. A device is provided. The device includes processing circuitry configured to capture media of a premises device in the premises system where the captured media indicates at least one of a status and diagnostic information associated with the premises device. The processing circuitry is further configured to, if the captured media matches at least one predefined criterion: output at least one of an audio and visual translation of the captured media.
1 . A device for translating captured media of a premises device, the device comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
capture media of a premises device in the premises system, the captured media indicating at least one of a status and diagnostic information associated with the premises device; and
if the captured media matches at least one predefined criterion, output at least one of an audio and visual translation of the captured media.
2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one predefined criterion is at least one of a media sequence and media pattern.
3 . The device of claim 2 , wherein the media sequence is generated by a light emitting diode (LED) of the premises device.
4 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the captured media corresponds to a plurality of visual sequences emitted by the premises device; and
the output of at least one of the audio and visual translation of the captured media including respective translations for each of the plurality of visual sequences.
5 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the captured media corresponds to a plurality of visual sequences emitted by the premises device; and
the output of at least one of the audio and visual translation of the captured media including a translation based on the plurality of visual sequences.
6 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the visual translation includes textual information based at least in part on at least one of the status and diagnostic information that is indicated in the captured media.
7 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the visual translation includes troubleshooting information based at least in part on at least one of the status and diagnostic information that is indicated in the captured media.
8 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the premises system is a premises security system and the premises device is a device used for monitoring a premises associated with the premises security system.
9 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the output of at least one of audio translation and visual translation of the captured media includes at least one of displaying the visual translation on a display of the device and outputting the audio translation via a speaker of the device.
10 . A method for a device for translating captured media of a premises device, the method comprising:
capturing media of a premises device in the premises system, the captured media indicating at least one of a status and diagnostic information associated with the premises device; and
if the captured media matches at least one predefined criterion, outputting at least one of an audio and visual translation of the captured media.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the at least one predefined criterion is at least one of a media sequence and media pattern.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the media sequence is generated by a light emitting diode (LED) of the premises device.
13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the captured media corresponds to a plurality of visual sequences emitted by the premises device; and
the output of at least one of the audio and visual translation of the captured media including respective translations for each of the plurality of visual sequences.
14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the captured media corresponds to a plurality of visual sequences emitted by the premises device; and
the output of at least one of the audio and visual translation of the captured media including a translation based on the plurality of visual sequences.
15 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the visual translation includes textual information based at least in part on at least one of the status and diagnostic information that is indicated in the captured media.
16 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the visual translation includes troubleshooting information based at least in part on at least one of the status and diagnostic information that is indicated in the captured media.
17 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the premises system is a premises security system and the premises device is a device used for monitoring a premises associated with the premises security system.
18 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the output of at least one of audio translation and visual translation of the captured media includes at least one of displaying the visual translation on a display of the device and outputting the audio translation via a speaker of the device.
19 . A server for translating captured media of a premises device, the server comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
receive captured media corresponding to media output by the premises device associated with the premises system, the captured media being captured by a capture device and indicating at least one of a status and diagnostic information associated with the premises device;
if the captured media matches at least one predefined criterion, transmit a message to the capture device, the message indicating at least one of an audio and visual translation of the captured media and instructing the capture device to play the at least one of the audio and visual translation of the captured media.
20 . The server of claim 19 , wherein the at least one predefined criterion is at least one of a media sequence and media pattern.
