Abstract
The present invention is directed to systems and methods which monitor weights applied within a protected premises and, based on detected weight pressure patterns, serve to control operational aspects of the premises. In one embodiment, the pressure monitoring system is used in conjunction with a security system to resolve ambiguities in detected breach conditions. In one embodiment the pressure monitoring system learns and remembers how the premises is used. When a possible trouble condition is detected the system compares a detected pressure against known normal, known abnormal, and unexpected pressures to determine the action to be taken at that time.

12. A method for detecting a trouble condition with respect to a protected premises, said method comprising:
-
receiving signals that correspond to forces being applied to certain positions pertaining to said premises; and determining from said received signals in conjunction with other received parameters that a trouble condition exists. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. An alarm system comprising;
-
means for detecting weight being applied to a specific location of a premises; means for detecting the presence of possible premises trouble conditions; and means for comparing each said detected application of weight to any detected possible trouble conditions so as to determine a possible alarm condition. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
