1. A method of operating a security system comprising:
- providing a plurality of sensors configured to sense trigger events and generate detection signals based thereon;
detecting a plurality of events that occur within the security system;
storing information related to the plurality of detected events in a recent activity database;
determining an activity pattern based on the stored information related to the plurality of detected events;
detecting a trigger event based on a detection signal from at least one of the plurality of sensors;
automatically programming times for arming and disarming the security system based at least in part on the determined activity pattern; and
determining a type of alarm, if any, to issue in response to the detected trigger event based at least in part on the determined activity pattern.

Abstract
A security system and method of operation thereof stores information related to a plurality of detected events and determines an activity pattern based on the stored information. The system and method then determines a type of alarm, if any, to issue in response to a detected trigger event based at least in part on the determined activity pattern.

13. A security system comprising:
-
a plurality of sensors configured to sense trigger events and generate detection signals based thereon; a controller configured to receive the detection signals from the plurality of sensors and selectively generate an alarm signal in response to the detection signals; a recent activity database accessible by the controller, the recent activity database storing information related to a plurality of events occurring during operation of the security system, and wherein the controller is programmed to determine an activity pattern based on the information related to the plurality of events stored in recent activity database, to adjust programmed times for arming and disarming the security system automatically based at least in part on the determined activity pattern, and to determine a type of alarm, if any, to issue in response to a detected trigger event based at least in part on the determined activity pattern. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of operating a security system comprising:
-
providing a plurality of sensors configured to sense trigger events and generate detection signals based thereon; detecting a plurality of events that occur within the security system; storing information related to the plurality of detected events in a recent activity database; determining an activity pattern based on the stored information related to the plurality of detected events; detecting a trigger event based on a detection signal from at least one of the plurality of sensors; and determining a type of alarm, if any, to issue in response to the detected trigger event based at least in part on the determined activity pattern, wherein an unverified alarm is issued if the trigger event is within an acceptable activity pattern, the unverified alarm giving a user a predetermined time period to cancel the unverified alarm, and wherein a verified alarm is issued if the trigger event is not within an acceptable activity pattern. - View Dependent Claims (20)
