1. A method comprising:
- identifying, by a device, that a switch has been toggled by an alarm panel device,the switch being toggled causing a user device to be disconnected from a landline;
receiving, by the device, an alarm signal from the alarm panel device via the landline based on the switch being toggled;
determining, by the device, a particular processing instruction, of one or more processing instructions, based on information included in the alarm signal,the particular processing instruction directing the device to establish a communication session between the user device and an external device, without the landline, and to send the alarm signal via the landline; and
executing, by the device, the particular processing instruction to;
provide the alarm signal to a server device via the landline,establish the communication session while the landline is available to provide the alarm signal, andconnect the user device to the external device via the communication session without the landline.

Abstract
A system and method of seizing a landline is disclosed. In seizing the landline, a first device may identify that a switch has been toggled by a second device; receive an alarm signal from the second device via a landline based on identifying that the switch has been toggled; determine a particular processing instruction, of one or more processing instructions, based on information included in the alarm signal; and execute the particular processing instruction to provide the alarm signal to a third device.

9. A device comprising:
one or more processors to; identify that a switch has been toggled by an alarm panel device; disconnect one or more user devices from a landline based on identifying that the switch has been toggled by the alarm panel device; receive an alarm signal from the alarm panel device via the landline after disconnecting the one or more user devices from the landline; determine a particular processing instruction, of one or more processing instructions, based on information included in the alarm signal, the particular processing instruction directing the device to establish a communication session between a user device, of the one or more user devices, and an external device, independent of the landline, and to send the alarm signal via the landline; and execute the particular processing instruction to; provide the alarm signal to a server device via the landline, establish the communication session while the landline is available to provide the alarm signal, and connect the user device to the external device via the communication session independent of the landline. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors associated with a device, cause the one or more processors to; identify that a switch has been toggled by an alarm panel device, the alarm panel device toggling the switch on based on receiving an electrical signal corresponding to an alarm; disconnect a user device from a landline based on identifying that the switch has been toggled by the alarm panel device; receive an alarm signal from the alarm panel device via the landline after disconnecting the user device from the landline; determine a particular processing instruction, of one or more processing instructions, based on information included in the alarm signal, the particular processing instruction directing the device to establish a communication session between the user device and an external device, independent of the landline, and to send the alarm signal via the landline; and execute the particular processing instruction to; provide the alarm signal to a monitoring device via the landline, establish the communication session while the landline is available to provide the alarm signal, and connect the user device to the external device via the communication session independent of the landline. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
