  • Access code processing for a security system
    Patent number: 5907288
    Abstract: A security system includes a control panel for controlling the operation of the security system and a keypad for communication with the control panel by entry of access codes by key-presses of keys on the keypad of the keypad controller. The control panel includes a means for examining a sequence of key-presses for a match between a first defined number of consecutive key-presses and access codes programmed in the control panel. The control panel examines the sequence of key-presses after a second defined number of key-presses and if no match is found, continues to examine the most recent first defined number of key-presses after each further individual key-press until a match is found.
