Abstract

A comprehensive real property security scheduling system having an interactive system for reporting, tracking, and rectifying security incidences and for generating alerts for a building, for an office complex comprising a number of buildings, and/or for a real property management company having multiple buildings and multiple sites.

Claims

1. A real property security scheduling system for reporting, tracking, and rectifying security items and incidences in a real property site, such as a building, an office complex comprising a number of buildings, and/or a property management company having multiple buildings and multiple sites, comprising:

a) a database server for storing data information about locations in the real property site, action items concerning the real property site, and other information about the real property site;

b) client devices for inputting information to and receiving information from the database server;

c) a networked server for allowing direct client device access to the system and the database server;

d) an interface system for allowing input to and output from the system from remote personnel at the real property site, so as to inform the system of the items and incidences and whether the items and incidences have been addressed and to inform the remote personnel of the items and incidences and the action items;

e) a means for scheduling of tasks and assignments by groups enabling a manager or administrator to assign a schedule to an individual security post or a group of security posts,

wherein security personnel log in to and belong to the individual security post or the group of security posts by virtue of logging in to the individual security post or the group of security posts,

wherein the security personnel follow the schedule assigned to the individual security post or the group of security posts, and

whereby any of the security personnel can cover any of the schedules assigned to any of the individual security posts or any of the groups of security posts.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the manager can create a tour of the individual security posts or the groups of security posts for the security personnel, wherein the security personnel follow the schedule assigned to the individual security post or the group of security posts according to the tour.

3. The system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the manager can change the way the tour is performed.

4. The system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the manager can schedule the tour in different ways and on different days whereby the security personnel follow the schedules assigned to the individual security posts or the groups of security posts in different ways and on different days.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the security personnel can log in to any of the individual security posts or any of the groups of security posts.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a delivery system for allowing alerts to be delivered to appropriate parties through a number of different receiving media.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the delivery system for allowing alerts to be delivered to appropriate parties through a number of different receiving media comprises means for customizing the alerts, means for selecting the appropriate parties to whom the alerts are to delivered, and means for selecting the receiving media.

8. The system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the alerts are generated at set intervals based on the input to the system from the remote personnel at the real property site.

9. The system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the alerts are generated in real time based on the input to the system from the remote personnel at the real property site.

10. A method for scheduling security of real property via an interactive system for reporting, tracking, and rectifying security items and incidences in a real property site, such as a building, an office complex comprising a number of buildings, and/or a property management company having multiple buildings and multiple sites, comprising the steps of:

a) inputting into a system database information regarding personnel who can access the system and information regarding the buildings to be scheduled;

b) setting up individual security posts or groups of security posts within the buildings and locations within the buildings, creating schedules of tasks to be completed, developing tours of the posts for the personnel, and developing incidents and items;

c) creating alerts methods of sending the alerts to the personnel;

d) allowing access to the database by the personnel through remote devices so as to allow the personnel to obtain the schedules and or the tours from the database and to input information to the database; and

e) providing for real time access to information in the database and input information provided by the personnel;

wherein at least one task can be assigned to at least one of the individual security posts or at least one of the groups of security posts,

whereby the scheduling of the tasks can be made according to the individual security posts or the groups of security posts enabling a manager to assign the at least one task to any of the individual security posts or the groups of security posts.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10, further comprising the step of creating a tour of the individual security posts or the groups of security posts for the security personnel, whereby the security personnel following the schedule assigned to the individual security post or the group of security posts according to the tour.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11, further comprising the step of scheduling the tour in different ways and on different days, whereby the security personnel follow the schedules assigned to the individual security posts or the groups of security posts in different ways and on different days.

13. The method as claimed in claim 10, further comprising having the security personnel log in to any of the individual security posts or any of the groups of security posts.

14. The method as claimed in claim 10, further comprising the step of delivering alerts to appropriate parties through a number of different receiving media.

15. The method as claimed in claim 14, further comprising the steps of customizing the alerts, selecting the appropriate parties to whom the alerts are to delivered, and selecting the receiving media.

16. The method as claimed in claim 15, further comprising the step of generating the alerts at set intervals based on the input to the system from the remote personnel at the real property site.

17. The method as claimed in claim 15, further comprising the step of generating the alerts in real time based on the input to the system from the remote personnel at the real property site.

18. The method as claimed in claim 10, further comprising the step of using the information regarding the buildings to be managed to develop the tours to be completed by the personnel by selecting locations within and around the building, organizing the locations into a coherent list, and creating the tour.

19. The method as claimed in claim 18, wherein as the personnel is completing the tour, the personnel is simultaneously entering incident information into the database and the database is automatically updating itself.

20. The method as claimed in claim 19, wherein the incidents are pre-inputted into the database, the incidents are assigned a level of importance, and/or the incidents are prioritize in order of importance.
