System and method for connecting security systems to a wireless device
DCFirst Claim
1. A system for automatic notification of security information to subscribed users based on user specified information wherein the security information is communicated over at least one wireless communication path from security devices associated with the subscription comprising:
- a user profile storage system for storing user profile information based on a user subscription wherein profile information comprises notification preferences assigning one or more alarm situations to one or more remote security devices and defining how the subscriber is to be notified when the one or more alarm situations occurs; and
a security control system that receives wireless communications that include security device information associated with the one or more remote security devices associated with a subscribed user, processes the security device information from the one or more remote security devices and automatically notifies the subscribed user associated with the remote security devices when an alarm event satisfying the user notification preferences is received from the one or more remote security devices.

Abstract
The present invention provides a personal security network where an individual'"'"'s system or systems of security devices may be connected to a central security network. The central security network of the present invention may monitor a system'"'"'s status and alert the individual when an alert situation occurs. The present invention provides a security network where a user may set up personalized alarms and alert services; identify various methods of contact; order at which to be contacted; individuals and entities to be contacted; type of situations to be alerted of and other relevant security and other information. The present invention may further provide a personalized web interface where authorized individuals may view current and historical security device status. A user may generate personalized reports based on aggregated historical data based on various user-defined factors. The reports may be displayed to the user in various formats, such as maps, graphs, statistics, and others.
