Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for reducing a likelihood that a doorbell might be used. One of the methods includes determining that a visitor arrived at a premises; determining that the visitor used a computing device at a first time; determining that a user device of a person of the premises received a message at a second time; determining that the first time and the second time both satisfy a timing criteria; and in response to determining that the first time and the second time both satisfy the timing criteria, sending, to the user device, a notification that indicates that the visitor arrived at the premises.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining that a visitor arrived at a premises;
- determining that the visitor used a computing device at a first time;
- determining that a user device of a person of the premises received a message at a second time;
- determining that a time period between the first time that the visitor used the computing device and the second time that the user device received the message satisfies a timing criteria;
- and
- in response to determining that the time period satisfies the timing criteria, sending, to the user device, a notification that indicates that the visitor arrived at the premises.
A system comprising one or more computers and one or more storage devices on which are stored instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
- determining that a visitor arrived at a premises;
- determining that the visitor used a computing device at a first time;
- determining that a user device of a person of the premises received a message at a second time;
- determining that a time period between the first time that the visitor used the computing device and the second time that the user device received the message satisfies a timing criteria;
- and
- in response to determining that the time period satisfies the timing criteria, sending, to the user device, a notification that indicates that the visitor arrived at the premises.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
- determining that a visitor arrived at a premises;
- determining that the visitor used a computing device at a first time;
- determining that a user device of a person of the premises received a message at a second time;
- determining that a time period between the first time that the visitor used the computing device and the second time that the user device received the message satisfies a timing criteria;
- and
- in response to determining that the time period satisfies the timing criteria, sending, to the user device, a notification that indicates that the visitor arrived at the premises.
