Security system
View Patent ↗A system includes one or more sensors to monitor at least one compartment of an object. A processor is communicatively-coupled to the one or more sensors to determine an alarm event based on activation of at least one sensor of the one or more sensors.
1. A system comprising:
a furniture piece including an interior region, a proximal edge surface, and at least one drawer receivable within the interior region, the at least one drawer defining a compartment;
a first partition disposed within the compartment;
one or more additional partitions disposed within the compartment and spaced apart from the first partition;
at least one sensor operably associated with the furniture piece, the at least one sensor operable for detecting positioning of at least either one of the first partition and the one or more additional partitions in vertical alignment with the proximal edge surface; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor, the processor configured to determine an alarm event based on a plurality of activations of the at least one sensor, each of the plurality of activations indicative of successive positioning of at least either one of the first partition and the one or more additional partitions in vertical alignment with the proximal edge surface.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one drawer includes a pair of lateral side walls and one or more magnetic members, the one or more magnetic members disposed in association with at least one of the pair of lateral side walls, and wherein end portions of the at least either one of the first partition and the one or more additional partitions are disposed in association with the one or more magnetic members.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the at least one sensor is reactive to a magnetic field through detection of the one or more magnetic members.
4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the one or more magnetic members are u-channel shaped and configured to receive the end portions of the at least either one of the first partition and the one or more additional partitions.
5. A system comprising:
a furniture piece including an interior region, a proximal edge surface, a first drawer receivable within the interior region, and a second drawer receivable within the interior region, the first drawer defining a first compartment, the second drawer defining a second compartment;
a first partition disposed within the first compartment;
a second partition disposed within the second compartment;
a plurality of sensors operably associated with the furniture piece, the plurality of sensors operable for detecting positioning of the first partition and the second partition in vertical alignment with the proximal edge surface; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors, the processor configured to determine an alarm event based on activations of the plurality of sensors, each of the activations indicative of successive positioning of at least either one of the first partition and the second partition in vertical alignment with the proximal edge surface.
