Filed:

Jan 16, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/761339

Inventors:

Geoffrey T. Barker - Bainbridge Island WA
Bruce Alexander - Poulsbo WA
Paul Talley - Redmond WA

Assignee:

Vigilos, Inc. - Seattle WA

International Classification:

G08B 2900

US Classification:

340506, 340 31, 340511, 700 17, 700 83, 709318

Abstract:

A system and method for implementing a configurable security monitor utilizing an integrated information portal are provided. A premises server is in communication with a variety of information sources that produce monitoring data for a defined monitoring target, such as a premises. The premises server transmits the monitoring data to a central server that receives the data and traverses one or more logical rule sets to determine whether the inputted data violates the rules. The rules are generally specified by a user, such as a system administrator to define the level of monitoring desired and an appropriate response in the evaluation of the monitoring data against the rule. Based on an evaluation of the rules, the central server then generates outputs in the form of communication to one or more authorized users via a variety of communication mediums and devices and/or the.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224, 709223

Abstract:

A system and method for evaluating data in a monitoring network are provided. A processing server obtains monitoring device data from a number of monitoring devices. The processing server processes and stores the monitoring device data according to one or more unique identifiers. Utilizing decision logic, the processing server evaluates the monitoring device data to generate one or more predictive assessments. Each predictive assessment can result in the initiation of actions or notification of authorized personnel based upon the likelihood of a target event occurring.

US Classification:

709224

Abstract:

A system and method for implementing an integrated information system are provided. A premises server is in communication with a variety of information sources that produce monitoring data for a premises. The premises server collects, presents, and transmits the monitoring device data to a central server capable of processing data from multiple premises servers. The central server receives the data and traverses one or more logical rule sets to determine whether the inputted data violates the rules. Based on an evaluation of the rules, the central server generates outputs in the form of communication to one or more authorized users via a variety of communication mediums and devices and/or the instigation of a variety of acts corresponding to the evaluation of the rules.

Inventors:

Geoffrey T. Barker - Bainbridge Island WA, US
Bruce Alexander - Poulsbo WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224, 709223

Abstract:

A system for processing monitoring device data that includes a central processing server in communication with at least one monitoring device operable to receive the monitoring device data. The system further includes a processing rules data store having processing rules corresponding to the one or more identifiable targets and risk factor data that is linked to the occurrence of the event. The central processing server is configured to obtain a processing rule corresponding to the at least one target from the processing rules data store, perform a predictive analysis in which one or more risk factors in the monitoring device data are used to calculate a probability that the event will occur in generating a threat assessment, and generate a notification of the potential threat if the probability that the event will occur is higher than a predetermined threshold.
