Method of and device for converting landline signals to Wi-Fi signals and user verified emergency assistant dispatch
Methods of and devices for automatically reducing and/or eliminating false alarms to the call centers are disclosed. The method of reducing a false alarm notification to a call center can comprise receiving a triggered event notification on a mobile device, requesting a user to unlock the mobile device, and requesting the user to confirm a triggered alarm or dismiss the trigger notification using the mobile device using a non-GUI based user interface.
1. A security system comprising:
a base station;
one or more sensors for detecting a security event, wherein the one or more sensors are signally coupled with the base station;
a service providing unit coupled to the base station and configured to determine whether the security event is a false alarm; and
a signal converter for converting first voice frequency signals from the base station to non-voice frequency signals and generating first signals that causes the base station to be configured to a state of connecting to a functioning landline in response to the security event is not the false alarm.
2. The security system of claim 1 , wherein the first signals comprise second voice frequency signals.
3. The security system of claim 2 , wherein the second voice frequency signals comprise dial-tone multi-frequency signals.
4. The security system of claim 1 , wherein the non-voice frequency signals comprise internet transmittable digital signals.
5. The security system of claim 4 , wherein the internet transmittable digital signals comprise wireless Lan (WLAN) signals.
6. The security system of claim 4 , wherein the internet transmittable digital signals comprise WiFi signals.
7. The security system of claim 1 , wherein the signal converter communicates with a remote responding center using an internet signal.
8. The security system of claim 1 , wherein the signal converter using an internet signal communicates with an intermediary device before a remote responding center.
9. The security system of claim 1 , wherein the signal converter communicates with a WiFi module that communicates with a remote responding center.
10. The security system of claim 1 , wherein the signal converter communicates with a user's electronic device, and the signal converter is configured to receive a confirmation from the user's electronic device whether the security event is the false alarm.
11. The security system of claim 10 , wherein the user's electronic device comprises a smart phone.
12. A security system signal converter comprising:
one or more sensors for detecting a security event;
a voice frequency signal generator coupled to the one or more sensors and configured to generate voice frequency signals causing a base station to be in a landline connected mode;
a voice frequency signal receiver coupled to the voice frequency signal generator and configured to receive voice frequency signals from the base station; and
a signal converter coupled to the voice frequency signal receiver and configured to convert the voice frequency signals from the base station to non-voice frequency signals in response to the security event is determined not to be a false alarm.
13. The converter of claim 12 , wherein the voice frequency signals comprise dial-tone multi-frequency signals.
14. The converter of claim 12 , wherein the non-voice frequency signals comprise WiFi signals.
15. The converter of claim 12 , wherein the security system signal converter communicates with a remote monitoring center using internet signals.
16. The converter of claim 12 , wherein the security system signal converter communicates with a WiFi device using wireless signals.
17. The converter of claim 16 , and the signal converter is configured to receive a confirmation from a user's electronic device whether the security event is the false alarm.
18. A method of converting signals of a security system comprising:
detecting a security event;
in response to the security event is determined not to be a false alarm, sending first voice frequency signals to a base station;
receiving second voice frequency signals from the base station; and
converting the second voice frequency signals to digital signals.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the digital signals comprise binary digital signals.
20. The method of claim 19 , further comprising transmitting the digital signals using a wireless network.
21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the wireless network comprises a WiFi network.
22. The method of claim 20 , wherein the digital signals comprise a triggered event notification.
23. The method of claim 22 , further comprising sending the triggered event notification to a remote monitoring center.
24. The method of claim 22 , further comprising sending the triggered event notification to an intermediary location.
25. The method of claim 18 , further comprising receiving a determination whether the security event is the false alarm.
26. The method of claim 18 , wherein the converting is performed at a signal converter directly connected with a base station of a home security system.
