Abstract
An apparatus including a security system that protects a secure geographic area of a home, a WiFi access point within the home coupled to the security system, a portable wireless device that detects the WiFi access point and matches an identifier of the WiFi access point with a reference identifier and the portable wireless device automatically downloading one or more instructions to the security system through the WiFi access point.
Claims16
An apparatus comprising:
- a security system that protects a secure geographic area of a home;
- a WiFi access point within the home coupled to the security system;
- and
- a portable wireless device that detects the WiFi access point as the portable wireless device enters the secure geographic area, receives a first identifier of the WiFi access point from the WiFi access point, activates a getActiveNetworkInfo function to detect the first identifier of the WiFi access point, and matches the first identifier of the WiFi access point with a reference identifier stored in a memory of the portable wireless device,
- wherein the portable wireless device automatically transmits one or more instructions to the security system through the WiFi access point when the portable wireless device matches the first identifier with the reference identifier,
- wherein, responsive to receiving the one or more instructions, the security system transmits a list of previous arm/disarm commands for the security system to the portable wireless device,
- wherein the list of the previous arm/disarm commands includes a respective user identifier associated with each of the previous arm/disarm commands, and
- wherein the portable wireless device displays the list of the previous arm/disarm commands.
5 more elements
A system comprising:
- a security and home automation system that controls a secure geographic area of a home;
- a WiFi access point within the home coupled to the security and home automation system;
- a portable wireless device that detects the WiFi access point, forms an Internet connection through the WiFi access point as the portable wireless device enters the secure geographic area, and receives a first identifier of the WiFi access point from the WiFi access point;
- and
- a processor of the portable wireless device that activates a getActiveNetworkInfo function to detect the first identifier of the WiFi access point and matches the first identifier of the WiFi access point with a reference identifier saved in a memory of the portable wireless device,
- wherein the portable wireless device automatically transmits at least one instruction to the security and home automation system through the WiFi access point when the portable wireless device matches the first identifier with the reference identifier,
- wherein, responsive to receiving the at least one instruction, the security and home automation system transmits a list of previous arm/disarm commands for the security and home automation system to the portable wireless device,
- wherein the list of the previous arm/disarm commands includes a respective user identifier associated with each of the previous arm/disarm commands, and
- wherein the portable wireless device displays the list of the previous arm/disarm commands.

An apparatus comprising:
- a security and environmental automation system that controls a secure geographic area;
- a WiFi access point within the secure geographic area that is coupled to the security and environmental automation system;
- a portable wireless device that detects the WiFi access point, forms an Internet connection through the WiFi access point as the portable wireless device enters the secure geographic area, and receives a first identifier of the WiFi access point from the WiFi access point;
- and
- a processor of the portable wireless device that activates a getActiveNetworkInfo function to detect the first identifier of the WiFi access point and matches the first identifier of the WiFi access point with a reference identifier saved in a memory of the portable wireless device,
- wherein the portable wireless device automatically transmits at least one instruction to the security and environmental automation system through the WiFi access point when the portable wireless device enters the secure geographic area,
- wherein, responsive to receiving the at least one instruction, the security and environmental automation system transmits a list of previous arm/disarm commands for the security and environmental automation system to the portable wireless device,
- wherein the list of the previous arm/disarm commands includes a respective user identifier associated with each of the previous arm/disarm commands, and
- wherein the portable wireless device displays the list of the previous arm/disarm commands.
