Patent number: 11328571Abstract: Fall detection and reporting technology, in which output from at least one sensor configured to sense, in a room of a building, activity associated with a patient falling is monitored and a determination is made to capture one or more images of the room based on the monitoring. An image of the room is captured with a camera positioned to include the patient within a field of view of the camera and the captured image of the room is analyzed to detect a state of the patient at a time of capturing the image. A potential fall event for the patient is determined based on the detected state of the patient and a message indicating the potential fall event for the patient is sent based on the determination of the potential fall event for the patient. Techniques are also described for fall detection and reporting using an on-body sensing device.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Alarm.com IncorporatedInventors: Mark Andrew Hanson, Jean-Paul Martin, Adam T. Barth, Christopher Silverman

Publication number: 20220124895Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for providing control of a monitoring system. In some implementations, a monitoring device is located in a building and is configured to monitor at least a portion of the building based on output from one or more sensors. A monitoring server is located remote from the building and is configured to communicate with the monitoring device. The monitoring server may be configured to translate one or more parameters received from a client device into an interpreted monitoring script and a trigger that causes performance of the interpreted monitoring script. The monitoring device may include an interpreter configured to determine that the trigger has been met and initiate performance of the interpreted monitoring script to evaluate a monitoring rule in accordance with one or more configurable parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2021Publication date: April 21, 2022Inventor: Jean-Paul Martin

Patent number: 11288948Abstract: Techniques are described for establishing a two-way voice communication session with an alarm system. The alarm system may establish a two-way voice communication session with an operator associated with a monitoring service that provides monitoring services for alarm events detected by the alarm system. The alarm system also may establish a two-way voice communication session with a notification recipient that is interested in receiving notifications associated with events detected by the alarm system.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Alarm.com IncorporatedInventors: Jean-Paul Martin, Stephen Scott Trundle, David Saul Goldfarb, David James Hutz

Patent number: 11276292Abstract: Systems, methods, and techniques for detecting the recording activity of a sensor are described. A monitoring system includes a sensor that is configured to generate sensor data, as well as a failsafe circuit that is configured to monitor an electronic signal of the sensor and determine that the sensor is recording. The system can further include a control unit that receives indication from the failsafe circuit that the sensor is recording and, based on determining that the control unit did not request the sensor to record or that the control unit is not aware that the sensor is recording, the system outputs a signal, e.g. to an indicator light, indicating that the sensor is recording.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2020Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Alarm.com IncorporatedInventors: David James Hutz, Robert Leon Lutes, Jean-Paul Martin

Patent number: 11257353Abstract: A system and method provide for the immediate transmission of a potential alarm to a remote alarm signal escrow site and from the escrow site to a host station in the event where a control panel or an alarm signaling device is tampered with or destroyed by a disablement tactic, e.g., a “crash and smash intrusion.” A system and method may also send an alarm signal during such an attack by using predictive analysis of real-time events.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Alarm.com IncorporatedInventors: Stephen Scott Trundle, Alison Jane Slavin, Jean-Paul Martin

Publication number: 20210201644Abstract: Techniques are described for moving asset location tracking and monitoring system technology. A system monitors for events related to a monitoring system that monitors a fixed property and the system detects an event related to the monitoring system based on the monitoring. The system performs an operation that leverages geographic location tracking of at least one mobile asset associated with the fixed property based on the detected event.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2021Publication date: July 1, 2021Inventors: Alison Jane Slavin, Jean-Paul Martin, Daniel J.
