Abstract

A site management system may include a user interface with a display device, a network interface, and a controller coupled to the user interface and the network interface. In some examples, the controller may be configured to determine the location of a first machine and compare the location of the first machine to one or more second machines. After determining the first machine crosses a predetermined geo-boundary of a second machine, the controller may be configured to elevate a threat level associated with the second machine.

Claims

1. A site management system comprising:

a user interface comprising a display device;

a network interface; and

a controller coupled to the user interface and the network interface, the controller configured to;

determine the location of a first machine;

compare the location of the first machine to one or more second machines; and

after determining the first machine crosses a predetermined geo-boundary of a second machine, elevate a threat level associated with the second machine.

2. The alarm management system of claim 1, wherein the controller receives the location from the first machine through the network interface.

3. The alarm management system of claim 1, wherein the first machine comprises a global positioning (GPS) device and a network interface.

4. The alarm management system of claim 3, wherein the first machine communicates coordinates determined by the GPS device to the controller through the network interface.

5. The alarm management system of claim 1, wherein, in response to elevating the threat level associated with the second machine, the controller changes information displayed at the display device to prioritize information relating to the second machine over at least one other machine.

6. The alarm management system of claim 1, wherein the controller further comprises a memory, and the memory includes the location of the second machine.

7. The alarm management system of claim 1, wherein the first machine is a vehicle.

8. The alarm management system of claim 1, wherein the first machine is a portable device.

9. The alarm management system of claim 8, wherein the portable device is a smart phone.

10. The alarm management system of claim 7, wherein the second machine is an automated teller machine (ATM).

11. A dynamically adjusting site prioritization system, comprising:

a user interface; and

a controller operatively coupled to the user interface, the controller configured to;

dynamically increase a threat level associated with a site when a location of the site is within a predetermined geo-boundary of an object of interest;

in response to increasing the threat level associated with the site, prioritize information about the site at the user interface.

12. The dynamically adjusting site prioritization system of claim 11, wherein prioritizing information about the site at the user interface comprises displaying one or more camera feeds of the site at the user interface.

13. The dynamically adjusting site prioritization system of claim 11, wherein prioritizing information about the site at the user interface comprises displaying one or more alarm statuses of the site prominently at the user interface.

14. The dynamically adjusting site prioritization system of claim 11, wherein the controller determines when a location of the site is within the predetermined geo-boundary of the object of interest by determining when the location of the object of interest enters a predetermined geo-boundary defined around the site.

15. The dynamically adjusting site prioritization system of claim 11, wherein the controller determines when a location of the site is within the predetermined geo-boundary of the object of interest by determining when the location of the site enters a predetermined geo-boundary defined around the object of interest.

16. The dynamically adjusting site prioritization system of claim 11, wherein after increasing the threat level of a site, the controller is further configured to increase the threat level associated with all sites within a predetermined geo-boundary of the site.

17. The dynamically adjusting site prioritization system of claim 11, wherein the object of interest is a vehicle, and wherein the vehicle dynamically communicates a location of the vehicle to the controller.

18. The dynamically adjusting site prioritization system of claim 11, wherein the site comprises an automated teller machine (ATM).

19. A method for dynamically increasing the threat level of a site, the method comprising:

using location based services data of a mobile device to determine when a distance between a location of a site and a location of the mobile object becomes less than a predetermined distance;

after determining that the distance between the location of the site and the location of the mobile object becomes less than the predetermined distance, dynamically increasing the threat level of the site; and

in response to increasing the threat level at the site, prioritizing one or more security features that are available at the site for display on a user interface.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein determining when the distance between the location of the site and the location of the mobile object becomes less than the predetermined distance comprises determining when the location of the site enters a predetermined geo-boundary defined around the mobile object or determining when the location of the mobile device enters a predetermined geo-boundary defined around the site.
