Abstract

A method includes receiving, by a computing device, first data from a sensor, the first data including a first timestamp and an event that triggered an alarm; receiving, by the computing device, second data from a remote computing environment, the second data including a second timestamp different from the first time stamp and specifying an action taken in response to the alarm; and rendering a screen on a display of a computing device, the screen including the first and second data represented as a sequence of events ordered by time based on the first and second timestamps.

Claims (36)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a computing device, first data from a sensor, the first data including a first timestamp and an event that triggered an alarm;

receiving, by the computing device, second data from a remote computing environment, the second data including a second timestamp different from the first timestamp and specifying an action taken in response to the alarm; and

rendering a screen on a display of the computing device, the screen including the first and second data represented as a sequence of events ordered by time based on the first and second timestamps.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second data was generated by a monitor interface and specifies that the action was taken by monitoring personnel.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the second data specifies a call to a Public Safety Answering Point.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving third data that includes a third timestamp and generated by a customer interface, the third data being indicative of a particular action taken by a customer in response to the alarm; and

storing the third data in the sequence.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second data was generated by a customer interface and specifies that the action was taken by a customer.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the action taken includes a request to send a first responder to a location associated with the alarm.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the action taken includes a request to cancel the alarm.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the action taken includes a request to access a recording of the first data.

9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the action taken includes a request to initiate an interactive communication session via a device comprising the sensor.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein rendering the screen further comprises rendering a control configured to initiate cancellation of the alarm.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein rendering the screen further comprises rendering a control configured to initiate a request to send help to a location associated with the alarm.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein rendering the screen further comprises rendering a control configured to initiate access to a recording of the first data.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein rendering the screen further comprises rendering a control configured to expand a portion of the screen comprising the sequence.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein rendering the screen further comprises rendering a control configured to initiate a communication session involving a device housing the sensor.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein rendering the control configured to initiate the communication session comprises rendering a control configured to initiate an interactive communication session.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first data triggered the alarm; and

rendering the screen further comprises rendering an indication that the first data triggered the alarm.

17. A system comprising:

a memory;

a network interface; and

at least one processor coupled with the memory and the network interface and configured to:

receive, via the network interface, first data including a first timestamp and an event that triggered an alarm;

receive, via the network interface, second data from a remote computing environment, the second data including a second timestamp different from the first timestamp and specifying an action taken in response to the alarm; and

communicate, via the network interface for rendering on a remote device, a sequence of events based on the first and second data and ordered by time based on the first and second timestamps.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the second data specifies that the action was taken by monitoring personnel.

19. A method comprising:

rendering, by a computing device, a screen including a first control including a sequence of events regarding an alarm, a second control configured to receive user input cancelling the alarm, and a third control configured to receive user input escalating the alarm;

receiving, by the computing device via the second control, the user input cancelling the alarm; and

communicating, to a remote computing device, a request to cancel the alarm in response to reception of the user input cancelling the alarm.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the sequence of events is ordered by time and includes an event that triggered the alarm and an event indicating an action taken to address the alarm.
