  • Publication number: 20260179472
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for alternate operational paths during fire system failures are described herein. In some examples, one or more embodiments include a computing device comprising a processor and a memory having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive an indication of an event detected by an event system installed in a facility, determine a failure in an operational path of the event system while the event is occurring, and select and execute an alternate operational path while the event is occurring responsive to the determination of the failure.

  • Patent number: 6785850
    Abstract: The invention relates to a software system and method for configuring a software system for interaction with a hardware system. In this method, the software system (140) is executed on a host processor interconnected with the hardware system (103). A database (152) is accessed to obtain a description of a set of functional components present within the hardware system (103). A software representation (154) of the capabilities of each functional component is created by using the description of the set of functional components. Then, the software representation (154) is interrogated to determine a set of operational capabilities of the hardware system (103). The software system (140) is then operated in a manner that is responsive to the set of operational capabilities of the hardware system (103).
