Abstract: A security system can mitigate invasion risk faced by a homeowner or other person responding to a stranger who is seeking to interact with the responder or to gain premises access, for example when a supposed deliveryman approaches the front door. The homeowner can make an entry into a user interface of the security system in preparation for interacting with the stranger, such as to answer the front door. If the user does not make a second entry within a specified period of time indicating that the interaction was safely completed, the security system can raise an alarm or otherwise dispatch help. If the stranger turns out to be an intruder and forces the homeowner to make the second, all-clear entry, the homeowner can make a duress entry that appears to be an all-clear entry but in fact triggers a silent alarm or otherwise summons help.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a user enters information regarding a business entity for classification of the business entity. Thereafter, a user views a series of questions and when those questions are pre-populated with answers a user can keep the pre-populated answer or replace the pre-populated answer with a different answer. The data submitted by the user can be transmitted towards a server (for subsequent updating of the populated answers in the server) and/or analyzed using the populated answers to determine a return on investment of equipment prior to purchasing equipment; and/or for an analysis of the business entity's current equipment. Embodiments of the invention also include other methods, computer-readable mediums, apparatuses, and systems that contain features similar to the features in the above described method.
