US 10,854,068 B2 · Method and system for configurable security and surveillance systems

Abstract

A method and system for a configurable security and surveillance system are provided. A configurable security and surveillance system may comprise at least one programmable sensor agent and/or at least one programmable content analysis agent. A plurality of processing features may be offered by the configurable security and surveillance system by programming configurable hardware devices in the programmable sensor agents and/or the programmable content analysis agents via a system manager. Device programming files may be utilized to program the configurable hardware devices. The device programming files may be encrypted and decryption keys may be requested to enable the programming of different processing features into the programmable sensor agents and/or the programmable content analysis agents. The device programming files and/or the decryption keys may be received via a network transfer and/or via a machine-readable media from an e-commerce vendor.

Dependent claims

A system for configuring a security and/or surveillance system, the system comprising:

machine readable media having available a selection of a plurality of programmable features for a plurality of programmable sensor agents;
wherein on receipt of a request for a programmable feature from the plurality of programmable features, the system is configured to:
provide a device programming file corresponding to the requested programmable feature of the plurality of programmable features to a programmable sensor agent of the plurality of programmable sensor agents;
the programmable sensor agent comprising a display interface;
and
provide at least one programming key corresponding to the device programming file to the programmable sensor agent;
wherein the device programming file, after receipt at the programmable sensor agent, is configured to cause the programmable sensor agent to:
program a configurable device in the programmable sensor agent to perform at least the selected programmable feature, the selected programmable feature enabling functionality in the programmable sensor agent not previously performed in the programmable sensor agent;
and
verify the programming of the configurable device.
