Abstract

An Electronic/Communication system here forth interchangeably referred to as “ARMED” or “ARMED System” enabling households including single family residence owners or renters, condominium owners or renters and apartment renters as well as commercial, industrial offices and retail business operators to personally purchase from retail outlets, install and easily operate the system. When in operation, the ARMED System will inform the homeowner/renter or business owner/operator as well as local law enforcement including police department and fire department if and when there is intrusion, holdup or fire at the premises.

Claims

1. ) A protection/security alarm system that deters intruders and warns property owners, renters, or lessees using voice and/or text message via a conventional Landline utilizing current phone line infrastructure. The ARMED System'"'"'s Fire Alarm uses an always “

ON”

combined Smoke and Heat Detector to eliminate false fire alarm.

This claim is against a configuration of the current invention entitled above and referred to as ARMED System consisting of eight major components. Under this claim the technology used between the Command Control Console (CCC) and recipients of outbound calls and inbound calls coming from remote access callers are based on the conventional Landline phone infrastructure.

These are namely;

1) Command Control Console (CCC) including the central processing unit (CPU), conventional or cellular phone engine, application software, Electrically-Erasable-Programmable-Read-Only-Memory (EEPROM) chips, and Memory Chips/Banks,

2) Wireless Motion Detectors,

3) Wireless Doorjamb Radio Frequency Magnet Sensors,

4) Electrically powered, wirelessly commanded siren system,

5) Wireless Panic/Holdup push button,

6) Exterior Mount bright red LED light indicating the activation/deactivation of ARMED System,

7) Remote Wireless Keypad to activate and/or deactivate the ARMED System from outside, and

8) A combined wireless Smoke and Heat Detector for No False warning of Fire.

The ARMED System subject of this claim and this invention eradicates the need for any TPI as it is programmed to notify owners, their trusted friends, family, and/or business associates and the most importantly local fire and police departments. As the TPI'"'"'s are eliminated, the system becomes by far more responsive and quick in executing the security commands, less error prone as the chain of TPI worker interventions are eliminated, removes any and all time thresholds before activating the siren as the first line of crime deterrence, provides secured and authenticated remote access for ARMED System status check and activation/deactivation by authorized users, provides an audit trail with time stamps of who and when an entry to the premises or lockup of the premises was performed, all at the fraction of the cost to the end users who may currently be bind by long term contracts to receive much lesser of a service. The current invention is also the only complete end-to-end solution that can be available to the end users via retail outlets. The installation and programming are both easy and user friendly as opposed to purchasing existing alarm equipments only through the Third Party Intermediary companies at premium price and paying for installation and subscribing and paying for monthly monitoring service.

The CCC of the ARMED System is equipped with a mini alphanumeric keyboard and a menu driven programmable software. All menu options can be selected directly on the keyboard to set alerts and escalations. The phone numbers, addresses, and text messages can all be entered from this user friendly menu driven console. The System'"'"'s CCC means of communication with all components of the ARMED System is wireless and as such provides for ease of installation, programming, and operation. The wireless RF (Radio Frequency) motion detector(s) and the wireless magnetic doorjamb sensors as well as the siren are equipped with a bright red LED indicating the activation/deactivation status of the ARMED System. The wireless and childproof panic push button(s) once pressed will cause CCC to instantaneously activate the siren and place a call to the local police department with pre-programmed message. The bright red LED mounted outside in a conspicuous location informs the approaching occupants that the ARMED System is activated and eliminates the possibility of False Alarm. It also warns the criminals as to the ARMED state of the property. The wireless exterior keypad provides an alternate method for activating/deactivating above and beyond doing so at the console or remotely via calling in to the system. A combined Smoke and Temperature sensor enables the always “

ON”

Fire alarm to send a instantaneous S.O.S Voice Message and Text Message to the local fire department while eliminating the chance of sending a false alarm due to excessive smoke from cooking or from starting the wood-burning fireplace.

2. ) A protection/security alarm system that deters intruders and warns property owners, renters, or lessees using voice and/or text message via a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) with use of phone company data-line and DSL modem or Cable Company'"'"'s Cable/DSL Modem. The ARMED System'"'"'s Fire Alarm uses an always “

ON”

combined Smoke and Heat Detector to eliminate false fire alarm.

Under this the second claim and configuration of the current invention the technology and communication protocol used between the ARMED System'"'"'s CCC and recipients of outbound calls and inbound calls coming from remote access callers ride on Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Infrastructure of phone companies or on data line provided by Cable Operators.

The ARMED System based on the infrastructure of the end user choice will use a Telephone Service Data-Line with their DSL Modem or Cable Operators'"'"' Cable Modem to access the Voice over Internet Protocol. In either cases the conceptual design and configuration of this the second claim will remain the same as the first claim and the CCC utilizes a conventional phone engine to call out or receive calls. All amenities as provided in the first claim will also be provided under this claim including the outbound text messaging.

3. ) A protection/security alarm system that deters intruders and warns property owners, renters, or lessees using voice and/or text message via a Cellular Phone Network Infrastructure. The ARMED System'"'"'s Fire Alarm uses an always “

ON”

combined Smoke and Heat Detector to eliminate false fire alarm.

Under this the third claim and configuration of the current ARMED System invention the technology and communication protocol used between the ARMED System'"'"'s CCC and recipients of outbound calls and inbound calls coming from authorized remote access callers ride on wireless cellular Infrastructure of wireless communication companies. The ARMED System'"'"'s CCC utilizes a cellular phone engine to call out to send voice and text message or receive secured and password authenticated remote calls over the cellular phone system of the end user choice. Also in this the third claim the conceptual design and configuration of ARMED System remains similar to that of the first two claims in providing all amenities numerated therewith including the outbound text messaging.
