Method and system of interacting with building security systems
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a security system having a plurality of sensors and actuators within a building and a respective control feature embodied as a programmed processor and associated with operation of the security system and at least some of the plurality of sensors and actuators;
a user display of a portable wireless device that depicts a portion of the building using a building information model (BIM);
a user interface of the wireless device that receives a symbol drawn by a human user over part of the building portion; and
a processor that correlates the symbol with a control feature of the security system based upon proximity of the symbol on the display with a location of a corresponding sensor or actuator of the control feature within the BIM model of the building.

11. A system comprising:
-
a security system having a control panel and a plurality of sensors and actuators within a secured area and a respective control feature embodied as a programmed processor and associated with operation of the security system, the control panel and at least some of its sensors and actuators; a user display of a portable wireless device that depicts a portion of the secured area using a building information model (BIM); a user interface of the wireless device that receives a symbol drawn by a human user over part of the depicted portion of the secured area; and a processor that correlates the symbol with a control feature of the security system based upon proximity of the symbol on the display with a location of a corresponding control panel, sensor or actuator of the control feature within the BIM model of the secured area. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system comprising:
-
a security system having a control panel and a plurality of sensors and actuators within a secured area and a respective control feature embodied as a programmed processor and associated with operation of the security system, the control panel and at least some of its sensors and actuators; a user display of a portable wireless device that depicts a portion of the secured area using a building information model (BIM) where the BIM includes a geographic location of each of the control panel, the sensors and actuators; a user interface of the wireless device that receives a symbol drawn by a human user over part of the depicted portion of the secured area; a processor that correlates the symbol with at least one control feature within the secured area of the security system based upon proximity of the symbol on the display with a location of one or more of a corresponding control panel, sensor or actuator of the at least one control feature within the BIM model of the secured area; and a processor that displays a check box for each correlated control feature adjacent the symbol and each corresponding control panel, sensor or actuator and through which the user selects desired control features.
