Publication number: 20140266678Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining at least one operational condition of a premises based system including at least one premises device. The apparatus includes a processor configured to perform a diagnostic procedure. The diagnostic procedure includes determining operational data of the premises based system, the operational data indicating at least one of a premises device and the apparatus is operating outside a failure range and performing predictive analysis based at least in part on the received operational data. The predictive analysis indicates whether the at least one of premises device and apparatus is likely to operate within the failure range within a predefined period of time. The diagnostic procedure includes causing a notification alert to be transmitted to at least one of a user interface device and remote monitoring center based on the predictive analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: ADT US HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Steven SHAPIRO, Raymond NORTH, Timothy Albert RADER, Jorge PERDOMO, Anne-Marie ROUSE, James Timothy BLACK

Publication number: 20140265781Abstract: A panel includes a housing. The housing may have a hinge closed magnet and a hinge opened magnet. The panel may include a door magnetically hinged to the housing for positioning the door between a closed position and an open position. The door may have a door hinge magnet. The door hinge magnet is magnetically attracted to the hinge closed magnet to retain the door in the closed position. The door hinge magnet is magnetically attracted to the hinge opened magnet to retain the door in the open position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: ADT US HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Timothy Albert RADER, Anne-Marie ROUSE, Diarmuid MacMAHON, Mel REYNOLDS, Jerome TOBIN

Publication number: 20140244399Abstract: The invention relates to a system configured to enable a user to track how his or her personal data is being used, and to control its collection, storage, and/or use, and delete certain personal data across information providers. A user may establish criteria regarding such collection, use, and storage of personal data generated by a security system device, capture the personal data at a control gateway before it is provided to an information provider; and applying the criteria to the personal data. The invention also relates to a system to present additional information to the user that is relevant to both the user and at least one marketing partner (such as targeted advertising); and to provide data to enable at least one marketing partner to provide value (a “reward”) to the user in exchange for the user allowing an information provider to collect and use personal data of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2014Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: ADT US Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Arthur Orduna, Joy Wald, Tana BartonHaas, Scott Johnson

Publication number: 20140197949Abstract: A control apparatus for a premises based system is provided. The control apparatus has an improved memory and processor configuration for separate operation of the life safety and life style code so that the operation of the life style code may be changed without changing the operation of the life safety code, such as through the use of a virtual machine or code running at a single operating system layer. The memory may store life safety code in a first partition and life style code in a second partition. The life style code may be updated while life safety code continues to run.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2014Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: ADT US HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Steven SHAPIRO, Raymond NORTH, Timothy Albert RADER, Jorge PERDOMO, Anne-Marie ROUSE, James Timothy BLACK

Publication number: 20140159895Abstract: The invention relates to a wireless communication device for a security system that may include a device communicator configured for wireless communication with a security panel and for providing an additional wireless communication path to a monitoring center; and a premises power supply for removably connecting the device to a power source at the premises. The device may also include an alternate power supply, and an input device for enabling a user to initiate communications. The device may also be programmed so that the device can delay the transmission of an event signal for a predetermined period of time and then initiate transmission of the event signal if it does not receive a signal from the security panel to cancel transmission of the event signal during the predetermined period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2013Publication date: June 12, 2014Applicant: ADT US HOLDINGS, INC.Inventor: N.
