Modular Alarm System: U.S.
Patent #: 6,249,223
Key Benefits:
The Modular Alarm System's "smart"
system communicates the between Control Panel to the Sensor and the Sensor back
to the Control Panel. These components include sensors, alarms, controls for
lights, etc. and a control panel. On power-up, the control panel will poll the
AC line to find out which devices are present and what they do. A telephone
connection is available whereby the control panel can call (connect) with a
remote monitoring service, if this is desired, or the system can be entirely
stand-alone.
A "simple" system (as opposed to a "smart" system) may
consist of the following parts:
Additional applications could include motion sensors, mounted inside an
electric light switch fixture on the wall, similar to motion sensors presently
found in many bathrooms and closets. Most homes have travel patterns throughout
the home, entryways, hallways, room entries, etc. This allows the sensor to
communicate with the control panel, test itself and, if the control panel is
armed, the panel may communicate to the sensor, causing the sensor to turn
lights on or even cause lights to flash on/off, bells to sound and the
monitoring service to be notified. Vacation packages can be programmed to
perform varies duties.
Benefits of licensing the Modular Alarm
System:
The Modular Alarm System scored a 93 out of a possible 107 on a recent independent evaluation (of its marketability and licenseability potential).
