Abstract

This invention relates generally to computer systems, and more specifically, to a premise monitoring system. In one embodiment, the invention includes operations of receiving one or more signals containing a device identifier and a device condition from one or more remote alarm monitoring systems; retrieving enhanced information based on the device identifier and/or the device condition; determining one or more communication methods and/or communication destinations based on the device identifier and/or the device condition; and dispatching the enhanced information to the one or more communication destinations using the one or more communication methods.

Claims (22)

1. A non-volatile and non-transient computer-readable medium comprising machine-executable code comprising:

code receiving one or more signals containing a device identifier and a device condition from one or more remote alarm monitoring systems;

code retrieving enhanced information based on the device identifier and the device condition;

code determining one or more communication methods and communication destinations based on the device identifier and the device condition; and

code dispatching the enhanced information to the one or more communication destinations using the one or more communication methods; and

wherein the retrieving enhanced information based on the device identifier and the device condition comprises retrieving images based on the device identifier and the device condition, the images comprising all of the members selected from the group consisting of superimposed visual indicators, hierarchically organized graphical images, and vector-based graphical images.

2. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the code receiving one or more signals containing a device identifier and a device condition from one or more remote alarm monitoring systems comprises code receiving one or more signals containing a device identifier for a smoke detector, a pull station, a security detector, a carbon monoxide detector, and a check-in monitor from one or more remote alarm monitoring systems.

3. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the code receiving one or more signals containing a device identifier and a device condition from one or more remote alarm monitoring systems comprises code receiving one or more signals containing a device condition of normal, fault, and supervisory from one or more remote alarm monitoring systems.

4. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the code retrieving enhanced information based on the device identifier and the device condition comprises code retrieving enhanced information including one or more sounds based on the device identifier and the device condition.

5. The medium of claim 4 , wherein the code retrieving enhanced information including one or more sounds based on the device identifier and the device condition comprises code retrieving enhanced information including one or more sounds organized on one or more graphical images based on the device identifier and the device condition.

6. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the code retrieving enhanced information based on the device identifier and the device condition comprises code retrieving enhanced information including one or more communication links based on the device identifier and the device condition.

7. The medium of claim 6 , wherein the code retrieving enhanced information including one or more communication links based on the device identifier and the device condition comprises code retrieving enhanced information including one or more communication links organized on one or more graphical images based on the device identifier and the device condition.

8. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the code retrieving enhanced information based on the device identifier and the device condition comprises code retrieving enhanced information including written information based on the device identifier and the device condition.

9. The medium of claim 8 , wherein the code retrieving enhanced information including written information based on the device identifier and the device condition comprises code retrieving enhanced information including date/time information, account information, premises information, device information, condition information, support information, contact information, linked information, and instructional information based on the device identifier and the device condition.

10. The medium of claim 8 , wherein the code retrieving enhanced information including written information based on the device identifier and the device condition comprises code retrieving enhanced information including written information organized on one or more graphical images based on the device identifier and the device condition.

11. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the code determining one or more communication methods and communication destinations based on the device identifier and the device condition comprises code determining one or more communication methods of email, text message, instant message, website link, phone, and mail based on the device identifier and the device condition.

12. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the code determining one or more communication methods and communication destinations based on the device identifier and the device condition comprises code determining one or more device communication destinations of a personal computer, a phone, a mobile device, a display, and a custom device based on the device identifier and the device condition.

13. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the code determining one or more communication methods and communication destinations based on the device identifier and the device condition comprises code determining one or more entity communication destinations of an authority, a first responder, a service company, an owner, a manager, a staff, an occupant, a supplier, a customer, a neighbor, and a custom entity based on the device identifier and the device condition.

14. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the code dispatching the enhanced information to the one or more communication destinations using the one or more communication methods comprises code dispatching the enhanced information automatically without requiring operator intervention to the one or more communication destinations using the one or more communication methods.

15. The medium of claim 1 , further comprising code receiving enhanced information, code providing one or more communication methods, and code providing one or more communication destinations via a user interface that is remotely accessible.

16. The medium of claim 1 , further comprising code providing one or more communication methods and one or more communication destinations from data of a personal device.

17. A computerized system comprising a central monitoring system receiving one or more signals containing a device identifier and a device condition from one or more remote alarm monitoring systems, retrieving enhanced information based on the device identifier and the device condition, determining one or more communication methods and communication destinations based on the device identifier and the device condition, and dispatching the enhanced information to the one or more communication destinations using the one or more communication methods, wherein the enhanced information based on the device identifier and the device condition comprises images based on the device identifier and the device condition, the images comprising all of the members selected from the group consisting of superimposed visual indicators, hierarchically organized graphical images, and vector-based graphical images.
