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 authorized users to handheld devices for monitoring, 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 accessible and dropping in price 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, such as a PDA, cell phone, radio, or the like.

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.
