Abstract
A method of detecting when a first mobile device is left in a building including: determining that an alarm system of a building has been armed; detecting positional data of a first mobile device for a selected period of time after the alarm system has been activated; determining a location of the first mobile device after the selected period of time in response to the positional data, the location of the first mobile device being within the building; and activating an alarm in response to the location of the first mobile device being within the building.
Claims17
A method of detecting when a first mobile device is left in a building, the method comprising:
- determining that an alarm system of a building has been armed;
- detecting positional data of a first mobile device for a selected period of time after the alarm system has been activated;
- determining a location of the first mobile device after the selected period of time in response to the positional data, the location of the first mobile device being within the building;
- and
- activating an alarm in response to the location of the first mobile device being within the building;
- wherein determining that an alarm system of a building has been activated further comprises:
- receiving a first pin entered via a user input from a first individual, the first pin being associated with the first mobile device belonging to the first individual,
- wherein the first pin arms the alarm system.
An alert system for detecting when a first mobile device is left in a building, the alert system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- determining that an alarm system of a building has been armed;
- detecting positional data of a first mobile device for a selected period of time after the alarm system has been activated;
- determining a location of the first mobile device after the selected period of time in response to the positional data, the location of the first mobile device being within the building;
- and
- activating an alarm in response to the location of the first mobile device being within the building;
- wherein determining that an alarm system of a building has been activated further comprises:
- receiving a first pin entered via a user input from a first individual, the first pin being associated with the first mobile device belonging to the first individual,
- wherein the first pin arms the alarm system.
A computer program product tangibly embodied on a computer readable medium, the computer program product including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- determining that an alarm system of a building has been armed;
- detecting positional data of a first mobile device for a selected period of time after the alarm system has been activated;
- determining a location of the first mobile device after the selected period of time in response to the positional data, the location of the first mobile device being within the building;
- and
- activating an alarm in response to the location of the first mobile device being within the building;
- wherein determining that an alarm system of a building has been activated further comprises:
- receiving a first pin entered via a user input from a first individual, the first pin being associated with the first mobile device belonging to the first individual,
- wherein the first pin arms the alarm system.
