Abstract
A computer-implemented method may include identifying a security event condition associated with a device. One or more security rules may be identified for execution based on the device and the identified security event condition, wherein the one or more security rules define security related actions to be performed upon occurrence of the security event condition. The security related actions may be initiated by at least one processor on the device to secure the device from unauthorized use.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- identifying a security event condition associated with a computer device,
- wherein identifying the security event condition comprises at least one of:
- receiving a notification of the security event condition from a notification server via a network, or
- capturing audio or video information associated with the computer device and identifying the security event condition based on a pattern identified in the captured audio or video information;
- identifying one or more security rules for execution based on the computer device and the identified security event condition,
- wherein the one or more security rules define security related actions to be performed upon occurrence of the security event condition;
- initiating the security related actions by at least one processor on the computer device to secure the computer device from unauthorized use;
- receiving a local override request subsequent to the initiating the security related actions;
- and
- delaying execution of the security related actions.
A system for providing device security, comprising:
- a network device in a monitored premise, wherein the network device includes a first processor;
- a notification server coupled to the network device via a computer network, wherein the notification server includes a second processor;
- wherein the second processor is configured to:
- store a number of security rules associated with the network device and a number of security event conditions, wherein the number of security rules define security related actions to be performed upon occurrence of the security event conditions;
- identify a particular security event condition associated with the network device;
- identify one or more security rules for execution based on the network device and the identified security event condition;
- transmit information relating to the security related actions associated with the identified one or more security rules to the network device;
- receive a local override request subsequent to the initiating the security related actions;
- and
- transmit information relating to the local override request to the network device;
- wherein the first processor is configured to:
- initiate the security related actions to secure the network device, and
- delay execution of the security related actions based on the received local override request.
A non-transitory computer-readable memory device having stored thereon sequences of instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- identify a security event condition associated with a device,
- wherein the instructions to identify the security event condition further comprise one or more instructions that cause the at least one processor to:
- receive a notification of the security event condition from a notification server via a network, or
- capture audio or video information associated with the device and identifying the security event condition based on a pattern identified in the captured audio or video information;
- identify one or more security rules for execution based on the device and the identified security event condition,
- wherein the one or more security rules define security related actions to be performed upon occurrence of the security event condition;
- initiate the security related actions by at least one processor on the device;
- receive a local override request subsequent to the initiating the security related actions;
- and
- delay execution of the security related actions.
