Abstract

A method is presented for providing alarm notification and two-way voice communication for a hybrid data/voice system. In one embodiment, the method comprises sending an alarm notification from a communication device to an alarm forwarding service, recognizing an ID of the communication device, using said ID to create a three-way call among the alarm forwarding service, the communication device and a central station, and initiating a two-way voice communication between said communication device and the central station. In another embodiment, the method comprises sending an alarm notification from a communication device to an alarm forwarding service, establishing a connection from said alarm forwarding service to said communication device, using said connection to create a three-way call among the alarm forwarding service, the communication device and a central station, and initiating a two-way voice communication between the communication device and the central station.

Claims

1. A method for using caller ID for providing alarm notification and two-way voice communication for a hybrid data/voice system, said method comprising:

sending an alarm notification from a remote communication device to an alarm forwarding service using a data transmission method;

recognizing an ID of the remote communication device;

using said ID to create a three-way call among the alarm forwarding service, the remote communication device and a central station voice receiver using a voice transmission method; and

initiating a two-way voice communication between said remote communication device and a central station voice receiver using a voice transmission method.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said data transmission method is one of cellular transmission protocol and internet protocol.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein said voice transmission method is one of cellular transmission protocol and internet protocol.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the remote communication device is a cellular radio.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the remote communication device is an internet enabled communication device.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the ID of the remote communication device is recognized using a caller-ID function.

7. A method for providing alarm notification and two-way voice communication for a service based hybrid data/voice system, said method comprising:

sending an alarm notification from a remote communication device to an alarm forwarding service using a data transmission method;

establishing a connection from said alarm forwarding service to said remote communication device;

using said connection to create a three-way call among the alarm forwarding service, the remote communication device and a central station voice receiver using a voice transmission method; and

initiating a two-way voice communication between the remote communication device and the central station voice receiver using the voice transmission method.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein said data transmission method is one of cellular transmission protocol and internet protocol.

9. The method according to claim 7, wherein said voice transmission method is one of cellular transmission protocol and internet protocol.

10. The method according to claim 7, wherein said remote communication device is a cellular radio.

11. The method according to claim 7, wherein said remote communication device is an internet enabled communication device.

12. The method according to claim 7, wherein said connection is established when said remote communication device auto-answers after a predetermined time.
