  • Patent number: 7363196
    Abstract: The guard tour system of the present invention is comprised of a central computer which runs a computer program that enables a variety of electronic hardware components to function as the guard tour system. As a guard progresses through a guard tour, he or she uses a touch button reader to read information stored within a plurality of touch memory buttons located along the patrol route. At the end of the patrol, the guard places the touch button reader in a downloader that transfers the stored data to the central computer which processes the data and generates reports summarizing the patrol data. The computer program of the present invention provides a novel method of organizing security information in hierarchical categories. Further, the guard tour system of the present invention uses a novel method to determine the number of times a guard visited a location in a given time period.

  • Publication number: 20080028331
    Abstract: A system utilizing a graphical interface for configuring an enterprise-wide computer system is disclosed. The system operator “drags” graphic icons from a repository by using a mouse or other pointing device and places the icons in a workspace area to produce a graphical representation of the network utilized by the computer system. The icons represent network components, software components and interconnections of the system to be configured. The properties of the components are then defined and links representing connections or the flow of data are created by drawing lines between components or by “dragging” icons representing such connections into the workspace area. When the graphical representation of the network utilized by the computer system has been completed, a program is initiated using the graphical representation to properly configure the software required for same.
