Method and apparatus of generating a voice siren in a security system
First Claim
1. A voice siren device comprising:
- a receiving means for receiving at least one predetermined signal pattern from a security system control panel via a wireless transceiver, said at least one predetermined signal pattern corresponds to one of a plurality of detected events that has been detected by said control panel and said detection means, said plurality of detected events includes at least a detection of carbon monoxide;
a memory section for storing at least one cadence tone pattern and at least one pre-selected message that corresponds to said at least one cadence tone pattern;
a control section that compares said received at least one predetermined signal pattern with the stored at least one cadence tone pattern, and when a match is found, said control section selects said at least one pre-selected message that corresponds to said match for playback; and
a speaker means for playing said at least one pre-selected message,wherein said at least one cadence tone pattern includes a pattern that corresponds to carbon monoxide.

Abstract
A security device including a control panel for transmitting a pre-defined cadence pattern to a siren device. The siren device takes the pre-defined cadence pattern as an input and outputs an audible voice message that corresponds to the pre-defined cadence pattern. The siren device is capable of recognizing the pre-defined cadence pattern that indicates a security system armed or disarmed command from a user interface device as well as a detected alarm signal of fire, burglary and carbon monoxide from a corresponding smoke, motion and carbon monoxide detector. These signals are transmitted from either the sensors or user interface means to the control panel and then, in turn, to the siren device.
