Abstract
Systems and methods are provided that can include receiving a plurality of cause and effect rules for a security system that protects a secured area, simulating a plurality of cause and effect rules responsive to user input identifying an emergency event in one of a plurality of zones of the secured area, and during simulation, displaying on a graphical user interface a first indicator that identifies a first output of a first of the plurality of cause and effect rules within a first of the plurality of zones.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- providing a security system that protects a secured area of an interior space within a building, the secured area divided into a plurality of physical zones, each zone, of the plurality of physical zones, defined by a boundary created on a floor plan by a user;
- initiating a test of the security system by initiating a simulated user input identifying an emergency event in one of the plurality of physical zones of the secured area;
- responsive to the simulated user input, simulating an emergency response process;
- during simulation, displaying on a graphical user interface a first indicator that identifies a first output regarding instructions provided to occupants within a first physical zone of the plurality of zones;
- during the simulation, displaying on the graphical user interface a second indicator that identifies a second output regarding instructions provided to occupants within a second physical zone of the plurality of zones;
- during the simulation, displaying a simulation list of items that can be added to the emergency response process for an input of a cause and effect rule and, during the simulation, selecting an item from the simulation list of items that can be added to the emergency response process and adding the selected item to a future simulated emergency response process;
- and
- overlaying and displaying the first indicator and the second indicator on a floor plan of the secured area displayed on the graphical user interface.
5 more elements
A user interface device, comprising:
- a programmable processor;
- and
- executable control software stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the control software is executable to:
- provide a security system that protects a secured area of an interior space within a building, the secured area divided into a plurality of physical zones, each zone, of the plurality of physical zones, defined by a boundary created on a floor plan by a user;
- initiating a test of the security system by initiating a simulated user input identifying an emergency event in one of the plurality of physical zones of the secured area;
- responsive to the simulated user input, simulate an emergency response process;
- during simulation, display on a graphical user interface of the user interface device a first indicator that identifies a first output regarding instructions provided to occupants within a first physical zone of the plurality of zones;
- during the simulation, display on the graphical user interface a second indicator that identifies a second output regarding instructions provided to occupants within a second physical zone of the plurality of zones;
- during the simulation, displaying a simulation list of items that can be added to the emergency response process for an input of a cause and effect rule and, during the simulation, selecting an item from the simulation list of items that can be added to the emergency response process and adding the selected item to a future simulated emergency response process;
- and
- overlay and display the first indicator and the second indicator on a floor plan of the secured area displayed on the graphical user interface.
