Patent number: 10062245Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2015Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: iControl Networks, Inc.Inventors: Jim Fulker, Ken Sundermeyer, Paul J. Dawes

Publication number: 20180063248Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring a premises are described. A touchscreen device may receive data from a security system that comprises a sensor, a video camera, or other devices. The touchscreen device determines one or more actions to perform by analyzing the data. The touchscreen device may determine to output, via a user interface, a message associated with the data. The message may comprise an indication of video associated with the data. If user input requesting the video is received, then video associated with the data may be output to a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2017Publication date: March 1, 2018Inventors: Paul J. Dawes, Jim Fulker, Carolyn Wales

Publication number: 20170185278Abstract: Systems and methods include an automation network comprising a gateway at a premises. The gateway is coupled to a remote network and is configured to control components at the premises including at least one of a thermostat and a lock. A sensor user interface (SUI) is coupled to the gateway and presented to a user via remote client devices. The SUI includes display elements for managing and receiving data of the components agnostically across the remote client devices. The display elements include an interactive icon comprising control regions. Each control region is configured to control a state change of a corresponding component.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2016Publication date: June 29, 2017Inventors: Ken SUNDERMEYER, Jim FULKER, Paul DAWES, Suguru NISHIOKA

Publication number: 20170185277Abstract: Systems and methods include an automation network comprising a gateway located at/in a premises. The gateway is coupled to a remote network and is configured to control components at the premises including premises devices and a security system comprising security system components. The components include at least one camera. A sensor user interface (SUI) is coupled to the gateway and presented to a user via remote client devices. The SUI includes display elements for managing and receiving data of the premises components agnostically across the remote client devices. The display elements include a timeline user interface comprising event data of the components positioned at a time corresponding to events.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2016Publication date: June 29, 2017Inventors: Ken SUNDERMEYER, Jim FULKER, Matt DAVIDSON, Paul DAWES

Publication number: 20170068419Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2016Publication date: March 9, 2017Inventors: Ken SUNDERMEYER, Paul DAWES, Jim FULKER

Publication number: 20170006107Abstract: An integrated security system integrates broadband and mobile access and control with conventional security systems and premise devices to provide a tri-mode security network that with remote connectivity and access. The integrated security system includes a touchscreen providing security keypad functionality as well as content management and presentation, and is used as a security system interface and an interface for interacting with a network. The integrated security system delivers remote premise monitoring and control functionality to conventional monitored premise protection and complements existing premise protection equipment. The integrated security system integrates into the premise network and couples wirelessly with the conventional security panel, enabling broadband access to premise security systems. Automation devices can be added, enabling users to remotely see live video or pictures and control home devices via a personal web portal, mobile phone, or other client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2016Publication date: January 5, 2017Inventors: Paul J.
