Systems and methods for activating a security action responsive to proximal detection and identification of a wireless device

1. A method comprising:

a wireless radio of a door mounted contact sensor of a security system receiving a broadcast message that includes a device identifier from a wireless device;

determining whether the device identifier corresponds to any of a plurality of authorized devices enrolled with the security system;

determining whether a signal parameter of the broadcast message satisfies a preconfigured access condition, wherein the signal parameter includes a current moving direction of the wireless device, wherein the preconfigured access condition includes a preconfigured moving direction associated with opening a door associated with the door mounted contact sensor, and wherein the preconfigured moving direction includes a moving direction toward and outside of the door; and

when the device identifier corresponds to any of the plurality of authorized devices enrolled with the security system and the signal parameter satisfies the preconfigured access condition by matching the current moving direction with the preconfigured moving direction, performing a security action comprising disarming the security system without providing an entry delay at the security system.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the security action includes initiating execution of a task associated with disarming the security system.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the security action includes unlocking a door lock associated with the door mounted contact sensor.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the signal parameter further includes a current distance of the wireless device from the wireless radio, wherein the preconfigured access condition further includes a preconfigured distance associated with opening the door associated with the door mounted contact sensor, and wherein the signal parameter satisfies the preconfigured access condition when the current distance is within the preconfigured distance.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the preconfigured distance is approximately one centimeter.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the wireless device includes a Bluetooth radio, and wherein the broadcast message complies with a Bluetooth protocol.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

a processor of the door mounted contact sensor determining whether the device identifier corresponds to any of the plurality of authorized devices enrolled with the security system; and

the processor of the door mounted contact sensor determining whether the signal parameter satisfies the preconfigured access condition.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

a control panel of the security system determining whether the device identifier corresponds to any of the plurality of authorized devices enrolled with the security system; and

the control panel determining whether the signal parameter satisfies the preconfigured access condition.

9. A door mounted contact sensor of a security system comprising:

a wireless radio; and

a programmable processor,

wherein the wireless radio receives a broadcast message that includes a device identifier from a wireless device, and

wherein the programmable processor determines whether the device identifier corresponds to any of a plurality of authorized devices enrolled with the security system, determines whether a signal parameter of the broadcast message satisfies a preconfigured access condition, wherein the signal parameter includes a current moving direction of the wireless device, wherein the preconfigured access condition includes a preconfigured moving direction associated with opening a door associated with the door mounted contact sensor, and wherein the preconfigured moving direction includes a moving direction toward and outside of the door, and when the device identifier corresponds to any of the plurality of authorized devices enrolled with the security system and the signal parameter satisfies the preconfigured access condition by matching the current moving direction with the preconfigured moving direction, performs a security action comprising disarming the security system without providing an entry delay at the security system.

10. The door mounted contact sensor of claim 9 wherein the security action includes initiating execution of a task associated with disarming the security system.

11. The door mounted contact sensor of claim 9 wherein the security action includes unlocking a door lock associated with the door mounted contact sensor.

12. The door mounted contact sensor of claim 9 wherein the signal parameter further includes a current distance of the wireless device from the wireless radio, wherein the preconfigured access condition further includes a preconfigured distance associated with opening the door associated with the door mounted contact sensor, and wherein the signal parameter satisfies the preconfigured access condition when the current distance is within the preconfigured distance.

13. The door mounted contact sensor of claim 12 wherein the preconfigured distance is approximately one centimeter.

14. The door mounted contact sensor of claim 9 wherein the wireless radio and the broadcast message comply with a Bluetooth protocol.

15. The door mounted contact sensor of claim 9 further comprising:

a transceiver,

wherein the transceiver communicates with a control panel of the security system to initiate the security action.

16. The door mounted contact sensor of claim 9 further comprising:

a transceiver,

wherein the transceiver communicates with a control panel of the security system to determine whether the device identifier corresponds to any of the plurality of authorized devices enrolled with the security system and whether the signal parameter satisfies the preconfigured access condition.
