Abstract

Integrated physical and logical security management is extended to a mobile device, such as a portable wireless device or radio The Mobile-IMPACT solution extends the reach of authonzed users to hand-held devices for momtoπng, managing and/or controlling of IT/network and physical security Allowing authorized users to view and control access events while not in their office and logged into their console, mobility within and outside of a facility or campus organization no longer requires a laptop computer With new handheld technologies more widely accessiable and dropping in mice while still gaining additional functionality, a chief security officer and their security staff can now monitor access to their building/doors/control zones, look-up user and card information, trigger queries/reports, set new alarm conditions and monitor sensors or a perimeter from a handheld device anywhere in the world using an electronic communication medium.

Claims

1. A method of remotely managing a converged physical and logical security system comprising:

assembling, on a mobile device, a command, the command associated with a method to execute on a converged physical and logical security system;

matching the command to a code table;

performing the method at the converged physical and logical security system; and

returning one or more of results, data and information to the mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising authenticating one or more of the mobile device and a user.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the command is a physical access control command.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the command is a logical access control command.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising performing one or more of a time based authentication and location based authentication.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising validating, based on a comparison to one or more allowed groups or privilege classes, that the method can be performed.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising forwarding an alert to the mobile device.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the alert includes a command that one or more of effects the operation of the mobile device and disables the mobile device.

16. The method of claim 13, wherein a command type is based on a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP), active directory, database or identity services.

17. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing one or more video feeds to the mobile device.

18. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing information from one or more sensors to the mobile device.

25. A converged physical and logical security system with remote management comprising:

a command handling module that assembles, on a mobile device, a command, the command associated with a method to execute on a converged physical and logical security system and matches the command to a code table; and

the converged physical and logical security system performing the method and returning one or more of results, data and information to the mobile device.

26. The system of claim 25, further comprising an authorization checking module that authenticates one or more of the mobile device and a user.

27. The system of claim 25, wherein the command is a physical access control command.

28. The system of claim 25, wherein the command is a logical access control command.

30. The system of claim 25, wherein one or more of a time based authentication and location based authentication are performed.

32. The system of claim 25, further comprising an authorization checking module that validates, based on a comparison to one or more allowed groups or privilege classes, that the method can be performed.

35. The system of claim 25, further comprising an event handling module that forwards an alert to the mobile device.

37. The system of claim 35, wherein the alert includes a command that one or more of effects the operation of the mobile device and disables the mobile device.

40. The system of claim 37, wherein a command type is based on a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP), active directory, database or identity services.

41. The system of claim 25, wherein one or more video feeds are provided to the mobile device.

42. The system of claim 25, wherein information from one or more sensors is provided to the mobile device.

45. The system of claim 25, wherein the command is associated with one or more of viewing, editing and managing the converged physical and logical security system.

47. The system of claim 25, wherein the mobile device includes one or more of a fingerprint scanner, smart card scanner, retina scanner and facial recognition.

49. The system of claim 25, wherein the mobile device is an identifier for the system.

52. The system of claim 25, wherein the mobile device includes a trusted ROM.
