METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY DISARMING A SECURITY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A security system, comprising:
- a system control panel for arming and disarming the security system;
a door sensing unit comprising a first radio frequency (RF) transceiver interconnected with the system control panel over a network, the first RF transceiver being mounted proximate to a door that defines at least a portion of a perimeter around an area to be monitored by the security system, the first RF transceiver having an RF detection field proximate to the door; and
a portable device comprising a second RF transceiver, the second RF transceiver automatically transmitting a device packet, the first RF transceiver receiving the device packet when the second RF transceiver is within the RF detection field, the first RF transceiver sending a disarm message to the system control panel over the network to disarm the security system based on at least the device packet.

Abstract
A security system comprises a system control panel for arming and disarming the security system. A door sensing unit comprises a first radio frequency (RF) transceiver interconnected with the system control panel over a network. The first RF transceiver is mounted proximate to a door that defines at least a portion of a perimeter around an area to be monitored by the security system. The first RF transceiver has an RF detection field proximate to the door. A disarm device comprises a second RF transceiver that automatically transmits a disarm device packet. The first RF transceiver receives the disarm device packet when the second RF transceiver is within the RF detection field. The first RF transceiver sends a disarm message to the system control panel over the network to disarm the security system based on at least the disarm device packet.

9. A method for automatically disarming a security system, comprising:
-
periodically transmitting an RF packet with a portable device, the RF packet comprising at least one identifier (ID) associated with at least one of the portable device and the security system; receiving the RF packet with an RF transceiver interconnected with the security system; comparing the at least one ID to at least one value associated with approved portable devices and the security system; and disarming the security system when the at least one ID corresponds to the at least one value. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
