Abstract
Systems and methods of operating an alarm device of a home security system which integrates one or more sensors of a mobile device when the mobile device is located within a home protected by the home security system are provided. The security system may determine an unauthorized entry to the home based on an operating mode of the home security system and sensor data collected by the one or more sensors of the mobile device. An alarm may be output by the alarm device of the home security system based on the determined unauthorized entry by the home security system.
Claims19
A method of operating a home security system, the method comprising:
- communicatively coupling a mobile device to the home security system to integrate one or more sensors of the mobile device with the operation of the home security system when the mobile device is determined, by the home security system, to be within a home protected by the home security system;
- determining, at the home security system, an unauthorized entry to the home based on an operating mode of the home security system and sensor data collected by the one or more sensors of the mobile device;
- and
- outputting an alarm, by an alarm device of the home security system, based on the determined unauthorized entry by the home security system.
A home security system comprising:
- a communications interface that is communicatively coupled to a mobile device to integrate one or more sensors of the mobile device with the operation of the home security system when the mobile device is determined to be within a home protected by the home security system;
- a processor to determine an unauthorized entry to the home based on an operating mode of the home security system and sensor data collected by the one or more sensors of the mobile device;
- and
- an alarm device, communicatively coupled to the processor, to output an alarm based on the determined unauthorized entry by the home security system.
