Method of providing a human-perceptible indication of alarm monitoring system status
First Claim
1. A method for indicating an armed status of an alarm monitoring system at a premises, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication of motion of a person that is approaching an alarm triggering device for the alarm monitoring system, the alarm triggering device configured to trigger an alarm event;
analyzing the indication along with other data related to the motion of the person as the person approaches the alarm triggering device, the other data including at least one of a user setting and alarm monitoring system usage data; and
initiating, based on the analysis of the indication and the other data, a human-perceptible indication of the armed status of the alarm monitoring system on a device that is proximate the alarm triggering device without triggering an alarm of the alarm monitoring system in response to the analysis.

Abstract
A method and system for processing input data for an alarm monitoring system at a premises. Input data is received in proximity to an alarm triggering device. The input data is analyzed along with other data. An indication is generated based on the analysis as to whether actuation of an alarm triggering device could occur. Based on the indication and/or the analysis, a human-perceptible indication is initiated of the status of an alarm monitoring system at the premises, in proximity to a person and/or prior to actuating an alarm triggering device. An indication may be a color of light, change in light color, audio tone, change in audio tone, vibration, and/or change in vibration.

12. A system configured to initiate a human-perceptible indication of an armed status of an alarm monitoring system comprising:
-
a device in proximity to an alarm triggering device, the device including; processing circuitry, the processing circuitry including a processor and a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to; receive an indication of motion of a person that is approaching an alarm triggering device for the alarm monitoring system, the alarm triggering device configured to trigger an alarm event; analyze the indication along with other data related to the motion of the person as the person approaches the alarm triggering device, the other data including at least one of a user setting and alarm monitoring system usage data; and initiate, based on the analysis of the indication and the other data, a human-perceptible indication of the armed status of the alarm monitoring system without triggering an alarm of the alarm monitoring system in response to the analysis; an event receiver configured to generate the indication; and an indicator configured to emit the human-perceptible indication of the status of the alarm monitoring system. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for indicating an armed status of an alarm monitoring system at a premises, the method comprising:
-
receiving an indication of motion of a person that is approaching an alarm triggering device for the alarm monitoring system, the alarm triggering device configured to trigger an alarm event; analyzing the indication along with other data related to the motion of the person as the person approaches the alarm triggering device, the other data including alarm monitoring system usage data containing identifying user information; and initiating, based on the analysis of the indication and the other data, a human-perceptible indication of the armed status of the alarm monitoring system on a device that is proximate the alarm triggering device without triggering an alarm of the alarm monitoring system in response to the analysis.
