System and method for external event determination utilizing an integrated information system
First Claim
1. In an integrated information system having at least one monitoring device providing monitoring device data, a method for providing an external event determination, wherein the integrated information system includes at least one processing rule for processing monitoring device data, the method comprising:
- obtaining monitoring device data corresponding to a monitored target and at least one processing rule corresponding to the monitoring device data;
processing the monitoring device data according to the at least one processing rule;
obtaining an external event notification corresponding to the monitored target;
processing the external event notification to determine an event and an integrated information system output; and
generating an output corresponding to the processing of the external event notification, wherein the output may include no output.

Abstract
A system and method for accepting an external event determination into a network-based integrated information system is provided. Once accepted, an external event determination is processed by the integrated information system as the system equivalent of a device-generated event. The system captures a record of the external event determination and generates an event resolution sequence, which may include the generation (and escalation) of notifications to one or more notification acceptors. The external event determination may further activate one or more devices within a monitored premises. At least one of the external event determination steps is accomplished over an Internet-based communications network. Transmitted device data is encrypted by each node within the integrated information system to ensure data security.
