Abstract

A system and method for time based review of multi-polar incidents is provided. The method includes selecting at least one past alarm incident, and populating a floor plan map with representations of the past alarm incident and a set of alarms that were active during the past alarm incident.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

selecting at least one past alarm incident; and

populating a floor plan map with representations of the past alarm incident and a set of alarms that were active during the past alarm incident.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein selecting at least one past alarm incident includes selecting a past time in which the past alarm incident occurred.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising recalibrating the floor map with the past alarm incident and the set of alarms that were active during the past alarm incident.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising displaying video data streams associated with at least one of the past alarm incident and the set of alarms that were active during the past alarm incident.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising adjusting a view of the floor plan map relative to time.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising exporting video data streams associated with at least one of the past alarm incident and the set of alarms that were active during the past alarm incident.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising sorting the set of alarms that were active during the past alarm incident according to type of alarm.

8. The method of claim 7 further comprising repopulating the floor plan map with representations of one type of alarm from the set of alarms.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising displaying operator activity during the past alarm incident.

10. An apparatus comprising:

circuitry that retrieves a selected past alarm incident; and

circuitry that populates a floor plan map with representations of the past alarm incident and a set of alarms that were active during the past alarm incident.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein the circuitry that retrieves a selected past alarm incident includes circuitry that selects a past time in which the past alarm incident occurred.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 further comprising circuitry that recalibrates the floor map with the past alarm incident and the set of alarms that were active during the past alarm incident.

13. The apparatus of claim 10 further comprising circuitry that displays video data streams associated with at least one of the past alarm incident and the set of alarms that were active during the past alarm incident.

14. The apparatus of claim 10 further comprising circuitry that adjusts a view of the floor plan map relative to time.

15. The apparatus of claim 10 further comprising circuitry that exports video data streams associated with at least one of the past alarm incident and the set of alarms that were active during the past alarm incident.

16. The apparatus of claim 10 further comprising circuitry that sorts the set of alarms that were active during the past alarm incident according to type of alarm.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 further comprising circuitry that repopulates the floor plan map with representations of one type of alarm from the set of alarms.

18. The apparatus of claim 10 further comprising circuitry that displays operator activity during the past alarm incident.

19. A system comprising:

a programmable processor and associated control circuitry; and

a user interface coupled to the programmable processor, wherein the user interface accepts user input for selecting at least one past alarm incident and displays a floor plan map populated with representations of the past alarm incident and a set of alarms that were active during the past alarm incident.

20. The system of claim 19 wherein the user interface accepts user input for adjusting a view of the floor plan map relative to time.
