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.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- identifying a plurality of physical zones within a building, wherein each zone is defined by a boundary created on a floor plan by a user;
- defining cause and effect rules for each of the plurality of physical zones responsive to receiving the user input identifying the plurality of physical zones, wherein the cause and effect rules correspond to an associated emergency response process for each zone;
- initiating a test of a security system that protects the building by initiating a simulated user input identifying an emergency event in one of the plurality of physical zones of the building;
- and
- responsive to the simulated user input, simulating an emergency response process for the one of the plurality of physical zones based on the defined cause and effect rules.
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:
- identify a plurality of physical zones within a building, wherein each zone is defined by a boundary created on a floor plan by a user;
- define cause and effect rules for each of the plurality of physical zones responsive to receiving the user input identifying the plurality of physical zones, wherein the cause and effect rules correspond to an associated emergency response process for each zone;
- initiate a test of a security system that protects the building by initiating a simulated user input identifying an emergency event in one of the plurality of physical zones of the building;
- and
- responsive to the simulated user input, simulate an emergency response process for the one of the plurality of physical zones based on the defined cause and effect rules.
A security system, comprising:
- a number of security system devices including:
- a user interface device having a programmable processor;
- and
- executable control software stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium of the user interface device, wherein the control software is executable to:
- identify a plurality of physical zones within a building, wherein each zone is defined by a boundary created on a floor plan by a user;
- define cause and effect rules for each of the plurality of physical zones responsive to receiving the user input identifying the plurality of physical zones, wherein the cause and effect rules correspond to an associated emergency response process for each zone;
- initiate a test of the security system that protects the building by initiating a simulated user input identifying an emergency event in one of the plurality of physical zones of the building;
- and
- responsive to the simulated user input, simulate an emergency response process for the one of the plurality of physical zones based on the defined cause and effect rules.
