Patent Images
1. A system for sending and receiving security messages in a wireless security system, the system comprising:
- a multi-protocol security controller capable of receiving the security messages from a security sensor device, the security controller able to differentiate between the two or more transmission protocols to determine the transmission protocol used to encode the security message, decode the security message based on the transmission protocol used to encode the security message, and in response to the decoded security message is capable of generating an instruction signal.

Abstract
Methods and devices for a wireless security controller that is able to receive data transmissions over multiple frequency channels and decode security messages that use different data protocols is provided. The security controller monitors an incoming security message transmission from a security sensor. As the transmission is received, the security controller analyzes the data, and determines whether is encoded using one of two or more different transmission protocols. The security controller then completes reception and error-checking of the received security message, and processes the security message.

4. A multi-protocol security controller useable in a wireless security system, the multi-protocol security controller comprising:
-
a receiver module that monitors for a security message; and a controller module coupled to the receiver module that decodes the security message based on a transmission protocol used to encode the security message, processes the decoded security message and generates an instruction signal based on the decoded security message, wherein the multi-protocol security controller determines a transmission protocol used to encode the security message between two or more unique transmission protocols. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A method of receiving security messages using a multi-protocol security controller for a wireless security system, the method comprising:
-
monitoring an area to be secure over a first frequency channel and second frequency channel using a receiver module of the multi-protocol system controller; receiving a data transmission over either the first frequency channel and/or the second frequency channel using the receiver module; determining whether the received data transmission is encoded using one of two or more unique transmission protocols using a microprocessor in the receiver module of the multi-protocol security controller; decoding a security message from the data transmission based on the transmission protocol used to encode the data transmission using the system controller portion; generating an instruction signal based on the security message using the system controller portion.
