Abstract
A system is provided that includes a computer implemented method for the automated purchasing of a security system having a plurality of security equipment components for use and installation on a unique geo-coordinate referenced location (i.e., a property). The system also includes a computer implemented method for installing the security equipment on the property that was purchased using the automated purchasing system.
Claims12
A computer-implemented method for purchasing a security system having a plurality of security equipment components, the computer-implemented method comprising the step of:
- presenting, by a computer-based purchasing system for facilitating the purchase of the security system, an image of a unique geo-coordinate referenced location for the installation of the security system;
- presenting, by the purchasing system, a recommended layout for the plurality of security equipment components on the image of the referenced location, and
- enabling, through the purchasing system, the purchase of the security system components based upon a final approved layout of the security system on the image of the referenced location.
A computer implemented method for installing a security system having a plurality of security components on a property based upon a final approved layout for the security equipment components on the property, where the final approved layout includes geo-coordinate locations for each security equipment component, the computer implemented method comprising the steps of:
- locating, through a computer-based installation system, the final layout for the security equipment components on the property based upon a unique identification associated with the plurality of equipment;
- presenting, by the computer-based installation system, instructions for installing the security equipment components on the property, where the instructions include displaying an image showing the positioning of the security equipment components on the property based upon the geo-coordinate locations for each security equipment component;
- and
- after installation of the security components on the property, registering, by the computer-based installation system, the location where each of the security equipment components is installed on the property by recording the geo-coordinate tag of each security system component via a mobile device positioned near each security system component.
A computer-implemented system for purchasing and installing security equipment on a property, the computer implemented system comprising:
- a computer-based purchasing system for facilitating the purchase of a security system on a property, where the computer-based purchasing system
- presents to a user, a recommended layout for a security system having security system components on an image of a unique geo-coordinate referenced location;
- allows the user to modify the recommended layout and select a final approved layout of security equipment components on the image of the referenced location;
- enables the user to purchase the security equipment components in accordance with the final approved layout;
- associates a unique identification for the purchase of security equipment components on the final approved layout and saving the geo-coordinates for each of the security equipment components based upon the final approved layout;
- and
- a computer-based installation system for facilitating the installation of the security system, where the computer-based installation system:
- retrieves the final approved layout for the purchased security system based upon the unique identification associated with the purchase of security equipment components on the final approved layout;
- presents instructions for installing the purchased security system to the user, where the instructions include displaying an image showing the position of each security equipment component in the security system on the property;
- and
- registers the location where each security equipment component is installed on the property by recording the geo-coordinate tag of the equipment;
- and
- verifies the proper installation location of each security equipment component by comparing the recorded geo-coordinate tag for each security equipment component with its geo-coordinate tag in the final approved layout.
