Communication protocols in integrated systems
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a gateway device in communication, via a bus protocol, with a security system located at a premises, wherein the bus protocol is associated with a control panel of the security system;
a touchscreen device located at the premises and configured to output a plurality of user interfaces, wherein the touchscreen device is in communication with the gateway device, wherein the plurality of user interfaces comprises a security user interface and a network user interface, wherein the security user interface is configured to provide control of functions of the security system via communications with the control panel of the security system, and is configured to provide access to data collected by the security system, and wherein the network user interface is configured to provide access to one or more network devices that are located at the premises and in communication with the gateway device; and
a security server in communication, via a second protocol different from the bus protocol, with the gateway device, wherein the security server is located external to the premises, wherein the security server is configured to enable remote client devices to exchange data with the gateway device and the security system.

Abstract
Systems and methods comprise a gateway that includes a processor coupled to a security system at a premises via a channel. The channel comprises a protocol of the security system that is a proprietary bus protocol of the control panel of the security system. A touchscreen at the premises is coupled to the gateway and presents user interfaces. The user interfaces include a security interface that provides control of functions of the security system and access to data collected by the security system, and a network interface that provides access to network devices. A camera is located at the premises and coupled to the gateway. A security server at a remote location is coupled to the gateway. The security server comprises a client interface through which remote client devices exchange data with the gateway and the security system.

18. A method comprising:
-
receiving, via at least one user interface of a plurality of user interfaces output by a touchscreen device, a control input, wherein the plurality of user interfaces comprises a security user interface and a network user interface, wherein the security user interface is configured to provide control of functions of a security system located at a premises via communications with a control panel of the security system, and is configured to provide access to data collected by the security system, and wherein the network user interface is configured to provide access to one or more network devices located at the premises; causing, based on the control input, a command to be sent, via a bus protocol, to the security system, wherein the bus protocol is associated with the control panel of the security system; receiving, by the touchscreen device, security data captured by the security system; causing, via the touchscreen device, at least a portion of the security data to be output; and causing at least a portion of the security data to be sent, via a second protocol different from the bus protocol, to a security server located external to the premises. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)

21. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a gateway device located at a premises, a control input, wherein the gateway device is in communication with a touchscreen device configured to output a security user interface and a network user interface, wherein the security user interface is configured to provide control of functions of a security system located at the premises via communications with a control panel of the security system and to provide access to data collected by the security system, and wherein the network user interface is configured to provide access to one or more network devices located at the premises and in communication with the gateway device; sending, based on the control input and via a bus protocol, a command to the security system, wherein the bus protocol is associated with the control panel of the security system; receiving, by the gateway device, security data captured by the security system; and sending, via a second protocol different than the bus protocol, at least a portion of the security data to a security server located external to the premises. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
