Method and protocol for real time security system
First Claim
1. A computer implemented process for real time communications between electronic security and environmental monitoring hardware and a core security system application comprising:
- (a) receiving and collecting security and environmental hardware data from one or more event sensors and installed electronic security and environmental monitoring equipment transmitting said data in device specific format;
(b) translating said received and collected data in device specific format into standardized messages in XML format;
(c) converting said translated standardized messages in XML format into encrypted messages for privacy protection during subsequent transmission and processing procedures;
(d) providing a core system security program application, whereby said core system application generates an event based upon an interpretation of said converted coded data messages;
(e) transmitting said converted standardized messages via direct and indirect means to data processing units containing said security system core program application; and
(f) generating real time analysis, reports and logs from said transmitted coded messages, for the purpose of monitoring security and environmental conditions within a subject site.

Abstract
A computer implemented communications method and protocol is provided which utilizes an XML based communications protocol for security monitoring purposes. The XML based communications protocol consists of numerous modules which receive and convert data messages from varying security devices and sensors, standardize and send converted messages, and encrypt and decrypt said data messages as necessary. With a security system core application (SCA) running on various integrated checkpoint, base station and headquarter based computers and/or other data processing units, the data messages are filtered and transmitted from checkpoint computers to base station computers, then received by a headquarters data processing unit. The SCA running on base station and/or headquarters computers analyzes, reports and logs environmental as well as security events within one or more subject sites. The resulting integrated security system provides better trained security guards who are more alert, and more responsive, more closely supervised and more easily scheduled with enhanced financial monitoring for more accurately paid and costed security services, better archived and better reported security related events, that are also better coordinated with public agencies, have enhanced safety, and are readily upgraded and integrated with any existing and future technologies.
