Abstract: A system user interface (SUI) provides an iconic, at-a-glance representation of security system status. The SUI is for use across all client types, and includes numerous display elements presented across all types of client devices used to monitor status of the security system. The display elements of the SUI include an orb icon, text summary, arm button, device and system warnings, interesting sensors, and quiet sensors. The SUI provides system status summary information (e.g., security and sensors) uniformly across all clients. The SUI provides consistent iconography, terminology, and display rules across all clients as well as consistent sensor and system detail across clients. The SUI also includes an interactive Timeline interface, a widget-based Slideshow timeline interface, and a graphical interface for managing schedules, set points, and controls for lighting and thermostats and general energy usage.

Abstract: An integrated system includes a system user interface (SUI) that provides an iconic, at-a-glance representation of integrated security system status. The SUI is for use across all client devices including mobile or cellular telephones, a mobile portal, a web portal, and a touchscreen device. The SUI includes a number of display elements presented across all types of client devices for monitoring status of the integrated security system. The display elements of the SUI include an orb icon, text summary, security button, device warnings, system warnings, interesting sensors, and quiet sensors. The SUI thus provides system status summary information agnostically across all clients. Additionally, the SUI provides consistent iconography, terminology, and display rules across all clients as well as consistent sensor and system detail across clients.

Abstract: Systems and methods include an automation network comprising a gateway at a premises.

Abstract: A system comprises an automation network including a gateway at a premises coupled to a remote server. Premises devices are coupled to the gateway and form at least one device network in the premises. An automation user interface (AUI) application is configured to access the plurality of premises devices via at least one of the gateway and the remote server. The AUI application is configured to run on each of a plurality of remote devices, and the plurality of remote devices comprises a plurality of device types. An application program interface (API) is configured to execute on at least one of the gateway and the remote server and to serve normalized data including state data of the plurality of premises devices to the AUI application on the plurality of remote devices. A normalized data model is configured to generate the normalized data including the state data of the plurality of premises devices agnostically to the plurality of remote devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods comprising a device including a processor coupled to a plurality of premises devices located at a premises. The device is configured to generate layout data comprising a layout of the premises including representations of premises devices on a floor plan configured to represent the premises. The layout data includes configuration data for each of the premises devices. The premises devices include at least one of a security device and a network device. The system includes a sensor user interface (SUI) application coupled to the device. The SUI application is remote to the device and configured to use the layout data to generate display elements comprising a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the floor plan and the premises devices. The floor plan layout visually and separately indicates a location and a state of the premises devices. The state includes current state and historical state.

Abstract: A system and method allows controlled editing of a document using stored commands and definitions. The author can identify an action: insert, delete or modify, and then select names of behaviors that control the insertion, deletion or modification of text into, from or inside a document. The system and method then performs the insertion, deletion or modification, allowing the author limited control as to the placement of insertions and the insertion or modification of certain parameters.
