Abstract

An interactive security system, device and method are disclosed. A plurality of sensors are positioned at one or more predetermined locations in a controlled environment. The plurality of sensors are associated with a sensor, the sensor being configured to collect sensor data in the controlled environment. The plurality of sensors include at least one human body sensor configured to detect a human body presence in the controlled environment. The plurality of sensors further include at least one emergency condition sensor configured to detect an emergency condition within the controlled environment. A control server communicatively coupled to the sensor is configured to receive, store, and process the sensor data and generate an alarm based on detection of at least one of, the human body, the emergency condition or a combination thereof.

Claims

1. An interactive security system for occupancy detection, the system comprising:

a plurality of sensors positioned at one or more predetermined locations in a controlled environment, wherein the sensors are associated with a sensor to collect sensor data, the plurality of sensors comprising;

at least one human body sensor to detect presence of a human body in the controlled environment; and

at least one emergency condition sensor to detect presence of an emergency condition within the controlled environment;

a control server communicatively coupled to the sensor, the control server configured to;

receive, store, and process the sensor data; and

generate an alarm based on detection of at least one of, the human body, the emergency condition or a combination thereof.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a control module configured to provide one or more control commands to at least one of the control server and the sensor.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising a positioning unit configured to provide at least one of position information and identification information of an object present in the controlled environment to the control server.

4. The system of claim 1, further comprising an archival and retrieval unit configured to at least receive, store, and recall the sensor data.

5. The system of claim 4, further comprising a communication network, the communication network configured to enable communication among at least one of the sensor, the control server, the control module, the positioning unit, and the archival and retrieval unit.

6. The system claim 1, wherein the human body sensor is further configured to detect a position and a movement of the human body within the controlled environment.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one emergency condition sensor comprises at least one of a smoke sensor, a fire sensor, a temperature sensor, a break-through sensor, a pressure sensor, a sound sensor, and a voice sensor.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the controlled environment comprises a plurality of locations, each location comprising the at least one human body sensor and the at least one emergency condition sensor.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the control server is included in a media device, and wherein the media device comprises an interactive high definition television and the control module comprises a remote control configured to interact with the interactive high definition television.

10. A method of emergency condition detection of a controlled environment, the method comprising:

receiving sensor data for the controlled environment from a sensor associated with the controlled environment;

processing the sensor data to determine an emergency condition and presence of a human body in the controlled environment; and

generating an alarm based on detection of at least one of, the emergency condition, the human body or a combination thereof.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising transmitting information of the emergency condition to a remote command center external to the controlled environment via a communication network.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the sensor comprises a plurality of sensors positioned at one or more predetermined locations in the controlled environment.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein the sensor comprise at least one human body sensor configured to detect a human body presence in the controlled environment and at least one emergency condition sensor configured to detect an emergency condition within the controlled environment

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the at least one human body sensor is further configured to detect a position and a movement of the human body within the controlled environment.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein the at least one emergency condition sensor comprises at least one of a smoke sensor, a fire sensor, a temperature sensor, a break-through sensor, a pressure sensor, a sound sensor, and a voice sensor.

16. The method of claim 13, wherein the controlled environment comprises a plurality of locations, each location comprising the at least one human body sensor and the at least one emergency condition sensor.

17. The method of claim 10, wherein generating the alarm comprises displaying sensor data on a media device.

18. The method of claim 10, further comprising receiving a command from a control module to activate or deactivate at least one sensor of the sensor.

19. An interactive security media device for monitoring and occupancy detection, the media device comprising:

a command interface to receive a command from a control module, the control module being communicatively coupled to the media device;

a communication interface to receive sensor data from a sensor via a communication network, the sensor comprising a plurality of sensors positioned at one or more predetermined locations in a controlled environment;

a display to display at least one of media content and the sensor data;

a network interface to communicate with a remote command center external to the controlled environment; and

a processor communicatively coupled to the command interface, the control module, the communication interface, the display, and the network interface, the processor configured to;

receive, store, and process the sensor data;
