Description:
FIELD 
       [0001]    This disclosure relates generally to the field of security systems. More particularly, the disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing security communication processes in a security system. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0002]    Providing different security communication processes in a security system is known. These different communication processes include: low speed modem communication and specialized modulation and tone detection for an event transmission; high speed modem operation for remote configuration and control; dual tone multi frequency (DTMF) reception for remote control operations; voice transmission to remote phone users for status and control operations; voice playback to local users for status announcements; and two-way speakerphone operation. 
         [0003]    Typically, these communication processes are implemented in a security system using specialized application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) components. However, separate hardware design for each of these communication processes becomes both costly and complex. Also, ASIC manufacturers often discontinue production of specialized parts for which there is no direct replacement. This can lead to expensive redesign effort with possibly no improvement to product performance. Also, an expensive redesign effort to the ASIC component is required if new features are to be added to the communication process. 
         [0004]    For the reasons stated above, and for other reasons stated below that will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the present specification, there is a need in the art for improved systems and methods for providing security communication processes in a security system. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0005]    This disclosure relates to improved systems and methods for providing security communication processes in a security system. This system and method would allow communication processes to be implemented into the security system easily and at low cost. In particular, a plurality of security communication processes used in a security system are implemented within a single digital signal processor (“DSP”). The communication processes are stored in a rewritable memory portion so that the DSP can implement new communication processes or update existing communication processes without costly and complex redesign efforts. 
         [0006]    In one embodiment, a system that provides security communication processes in a security system is provided. The system has a digital signal processor (“DSP”), a memory portion and a coder/decoder (“CODEC”). The DSP implements a plurality of different communication processes. The memory portion has a plurality of communication algorithms, each of which implements one or more communication process within the DSP. The CODEC is connected to the DSP to convert analog signals into digital signals prior to being sent to the DSP and to convert digital signals sent from the DSP into analog signals. The DSP is connected to the memory portion to enable retrieval of the at least one communication algorithm for use in implementing the corresponding communication process. 
         [0007]    In another embodiment, a method of implementing a security communication process within a security system is provided. The method comprises providing a security system comprising a system controller, a memory portion, a CODEC and a DSP within a main controller module and accessing at least one communication algorithm from the memory portion using the digital signal processor.

These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice what is claimed, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that logical, mechanical and electrical changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense. 
         [0016]    Embodiments presented herein involve systems and methods for providing security communication processes in a security system. Advantageously, these embodiments provide communication processes that can be implemented into the security system easily and at a low cost. Moreover, these embodiments allow improvements to the communication processes to be implemented without costly and complex redesign efforts. 
         [0017]      FIG. 1  is a block diagram of a security system  100  according to one embodiment. Security system  100  comprises a plurality of hardware device module modules and a plurality of security sensor devices  120 . Examples of hardware device modules include, but are not limited to, a user interface module  110 - 1  with a keypad  112 , a main controller module  110 - 2 , an audio module  110 - 3  with an audio amplifier  116 , a speaker  118  and a microphone  122 , a telephone interface module  110 - 4  with a modem  114  and a transceiver module  110 - 5 . 
         [0018]    Examples of security sensor devices  120  include, but are not limited to: a door/window sensor that detects when a portal is opened; a motion detector that detects movement within an space; a smoke detector that detects smoke within a set area; a heat detector that detects excessive heat within a set area; a low temperature detector that detects a potentially hazardous temperature within a set area; a glassbreak detector which detects a breakage of glass. The security sensor device  120  can also be a device initiated by a user, for example a key fob that allows the user to initiate a communication message by pressing a button on the keyfob. 
         [0019]    As shown in  FIG. 1 , the hardware device modules are all enclosed within a housing  130 . A central station  180 , a user telephone  185  and a remote programming tool  195 , each typically located outside of the premises being secured, can also be indirectly coupled to the security system  100 . 
         [0020]    In one embodiment, the security system  100  generally functions as follows. The security sensor devices  120  are used to transmit communication messages that contain status signals of various portions of the premises being monitored by the security system  100 . As shown in  FIG. 1 , some security sensor devices  120  are coupled to the main controller module  110 - 2  via a wire connection allowing communication messages sent from the security sensor devices  120  to be received by and stored in the main controller  110 - 2 . Also, some security sensor devices  120  are coupled to the main controller module  110 - 2  via a wireless connection such that the transceiver module  110 - 5  receives wireless communications messages sent from the security sensor devices  120  and stores them in the main controller module  110 - 2 . In some embodiments, the security sensor devices  120  are all coupled to the main controller module  110 - 2  via a wire connection and in some embodiments the security sensor devices  120  are all coupled to the main controller module  110 - 2  via a wireless connection. The main controller module  110 - 2  parses the status signal contained within the communication message, determines the appropriate action to be taken by the security system  100  and prepares and sends instruction signals to the appropriate hardware device modules. Depending on the instruction signals sent by the main controller module  110 - 2 , the various hardware device modules then perform the appropriate actions required by the instruction signals. For example, in the case of an emergency, an instruction signal can be sent to the telephone interface module  110 - 4  that instructs the telephone interface module  110 - 4  to transmit an event communication notifying the central station  180  of an emergency and the need for police, fire or ambulance assistance. 
         [0021]      FIG. 2  is a block diagram of a main controller module  110 - 2  according to one embodiment. The main controller module  110 - 2  includes a DSP  210  coupled to a flash memory  220  stored within a system controller  230 , a voice storage portion  222  included within a memory portion  280  and a CODEC  240 . The CODEC  240  is coupled to the audio amplifier  116  of the audio module  110 - 3  and to the telephone interface module  110 - 4  (shown in  FIG. 1 ). In some embodiments, the CODEC  240  and the DSP  210  are integrated into a single device  290 . 
         [0022]    The flash memory  220  is a field-rewritable memory storage device that includes a firmware portion  224 . The firmware portion  224  can be implemented with various firmware functions to be accessed and used by the DSP  210 . These functions include, but are not limited to, event communication functionality, voice playback functionality, phone control functionality, two way voice operation functionality and remote programming functionality. Moreover, since the flash memory  220  is a field rewritable memory storage device, new firmware functions or configuration updates to existing firmware functions can be implemented without any hardware changes. 
         [0023]    The system controller  230 , among other functions, processes communication messages sent from the security sensors  120  and generates instruction signals for the hardware device modules based on the communication message received. The system controller  230  is coupled to the DSP  210  and the configuration memory  270  included within the memory portion  280  that stores configuration settings for the hardware device modules and the security sensors  120 . 
         [0024]      FIGS. 3A-3E  are block diagrams of various communication processes performed by the DSP  210  in the security system  100  according to one embodiment. One communication function of the security system  100  is to provide event communication to the central station  180  via the telephone interface module  110 - 4 .  FIG. 3A  provides a block diagram of an event communication process according to one embodiment. If the event communication sent to the central station  180  is an emergency, the central station  180  can notify the proper emergency response teams, such as the local police, fire department or hospital. 
         [0025]    As described with respect to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , when the main controller module  110 - 2  receives a communication message from one or more of the security sensor devices  120 , the system controller  230  processes the communication message and prepares and sends one or more instruction signals to the appropriate hardware device modules. As shown in  FIG. 3A , when the system controller  230  determines that a transmission is required to be sent to the central station  180 , the system controller  230  prepares and sends an event instruction  302  to the DSP  210 . The DSP  210  accesses the firmware portion  224  for event communication algorithms, including a data modulation algorithm and a tone decoding algorithm, to generate an event communication  304  based on the event instruction  302 . The event communication  304  is sent to the CODEC  240  which encodes the event communication  304  into an encoded event communication  306 . The CODEC  240  then sends the encoded event communication  306  to the telephone interface module  110 - 4 . The telephone interface module  110 - 4  receives the encoded event communication  306  and sends the encoded event communication  306  via a telephone line of the premises being secured, to the central station  180 . The central station  180  receives the encoded event communication  306  and responds to the encoded event communication  306  by creating an encoded event confirmation  308  to confirm to the security system  100  that the central station  180  received the encoded event communication  306 . 
         [0026]    The central station  180  sends the encoded event confirmation  308  to the telephone interface module  110 - 4  via the same telephone line connection. The telephone interface module  110 - 4  receives the encoded event confirmation  308  from the central station  180  and sends the encoded event confirmation  308  to the CODEC  240 . The CODEC  240  decodes the encoded event confirmation and sends a decoded event confirmation  312  to the DSP  210 . The DSP  210  uses the event notification algorithms to demodulate the decoded event confirmation  312  and to send an event confirmation  314  to the system controller  230 . 
         [0027]    Another communication function of the security system  100  is to provide a voice playback process using the audio module  110 - 3  to people located on the premises being secured.  FIG. 3B  provides a block diagram of a voice playback process according to one embodiment. For example, the security system  100  can notify people located on the premises being secured that a smoke detector has detected smoke on a portion of the premises. 
         [0028]    When the system controller  230  determines that a voice playback is required, the system controller  230  prepares and sends a voice playback instruction  316 -B to the DSP  210 . The DSP  210  accesses the firmware portion  224  for a voice playback algorithm to retrieve a digital voice playback recording  318 -B from the voice storage portion  222  from the memory portion  280 . The digital voice playback recording  318 -B is sent to the CODEC  240  where it is converted to an analog voice playback recording  322 -B. The CODEC  240  then sends the analog voice playback recording  322 -B to the audio amplifier  116  of the audio module  110 - 3 . The audio amplifier  116  amplifies the analog voice playback recording  322 -B and broadcasts an amplified voice playback recording  324  via the speaker  118 , where it can be heard by persons on the premises being secured. 
         [0029]    Also, another communication function of the security system  100  is to provide users control of the security system  100  over the user telephone  185 .  FIG. 3C  provides a block diagram of a telephone control process according to one embodiment. For example, users can change settings of the security system  100 , including activating or deactivating the security system  100 , via the user telephone  185  that may or may not be on the premises being secured by the security system  100 . The user connects to the security system  100  through the user telephone  185  via the telephone interface module  110 - 4 . When connected through a telephone line, the telephone control process includes a voice playback function that allows the security system  100  to provide sound recordings to the user, similar to the voice playback process discussed above with  FIG. 3B , and a DTMF tone detection function that allows the user to send information to the system controller  230 . The DTMF tone detection process allows users to send data to the security system  100  by pressing keys on the keypad of the user telephone  185 . 
         [0030]    For the voice playback function, the system controller  230  prepares and sends a voice playback instruction  316 -C to the DSP  210 . The DSP  210  accesses the firmware portion  224  for phone control algorithms that includes a voice playback algorithm to retrieve a digital voice playback recording  318 -C from the voice storage portion  222  from the memory portion  280 . The digital voice playback recording  318 -C is sent to the CODEC  240  where it is converted to an analog voice playback signal  322 -C. The CODEC  240  then sends the analog voice playback signal  322 -C to the telephone interface module  110 - 4 . The telephone interface module  110 - 4  sends the analog voice playback signal  322 -C to the user telephone  185 , where it can be heard by the user. 
         [0031]    Examples of voice playback recordings include, for example, informing the user of possible system settings available for setting the security system  100 , verifying options selected by the user using the keypad of the user telephone  185  and notifying the user of the status of the security system  100 . 
         [0032]    For the DTMF tone detection function, each key press by a user on the keypad of the user telephone  185  creates an analog tone message  326 -C that is received by the telephone interface module  110 - 4  over a telephone line. The analog tone message  326 -C is sent by the telephone interface module  110 - 4  to the CODEC  240 . The CODEC  240  receives the analog tone message  326 -C and converts said analog tone message  326 -C into a digital tone message  328 -C. The CODEC sends the digital tone message  328 -C to the DSP  210 . The DSP  210  uses the phone control algorithms that include the DTMF tone detection algorithm, to process the digital tone message  328 -C and create an instruction signal  332 -C. The DSP  210  then sends the instruction signal  332 -C to the system controller  230 . The system controller  230  receives the instruction signal  332 -C, and determines an action to be performed based on the information in the instruction signal  332 -C. 
         [0033]    Yet another communication function of the security system  100  is to provide two-way speakerphone communication between the user and the central station  180 . The DSP  210  accesses the firmware portion  224  for two-way speakerphone operation algorithms that provides the security system  100  with speakerphone capability between the user and the central station over a telephone line using the audio module  110 - 3  and the telephone interface module  110 - 4 .  FIG. 3D  provides a block diagram of a two-way communication process according to one embodiment. For example, users can notify the central station  180  of an emergency or provide the central station  180  information relating to the status of the security system  100  through speech using the microphone  122  of the audio module  110 - 3 . Also, the central station  180  can notify the user that emergency assistance is on its way to the premises being secured or query the user about a recent alarm by speaking with the user. Additionally, the central station can control the operation of the speakerphone function using the DTMF tone detection function described above and in  FIG. 3C . 
         [0034]    In further embodiments, other connection types between the security system  100  and the central station  180  can be used, including, for example, a cable connection, an Ethernet connection and a wireless connection. In these embodiments, the central station communication signal  342  is a digital signal and is sent from the central station  180  to the DSP  210 , bypassing the telephone interface module  110 - 4  and the CODEC  240 . 
         [0035]    In one embodiment, the two-way communication of the security system  100  is activated when an alarm event notification is transmitted to the central station  180 , or when the central station  180  calls the premises being secured after receiving an alarm event notification from the premises. For example, in some embodiments the user can activate the two-way communication of the security system  100  by pressing an alarm on the keypad  112 . In some embodiments, the alarm can include a police panic alarm, a fire panic alarm and an ambulance panic alarm. The system controller  230  processes the alarm event notification  317  and creates an activation instruction  319 . The activation instruction  319  is sent to the telephone interface module  110 - 4  to create a connection with the central station  180 . Once connected, the user can communicate to the central station  180  with speech using the microphone  122  of the audio module  110 - 3  as well has listen to the operator at the central station using the speaker  118  of the audio module  110 - 3 . 
         [0036]    In some embodiments, the security system  100  uses a voice operated exchange (“VOX”) method for two-way communication in which the DSP  210  automatically switches the security system  100  between a talk and listen mode by analyzing the signals received from the microphone  122  and the central station  180  almost simultaneously. In these embodiments, the microphone  122  collects and converts picked up sound waves into an analog microphone signal  334  and the analog microphone signal  334  is sent to the CODEC  240 . The CODEC  240  converts the analog microphone signal  334  into a digital microphone signal  336  and sends the digital user microphone signal  336  to the DSP  210 . 
         [0037]    At the same time, the telephone interface module  110 - 4  receives an analog central station communication signal  342  from the central station  180  via a telephone line and sends the analog central station communication signal  342  to the CODEC  240 . The CODEC  240  receives and converts the analog central station communication signal  342  into the digital central station communication signal  338 . The CODEC  240  then sends the digital central station communication signal  338  to the DSP  210 . 
         [0038]    The DSP  210  uses the two-way speakerphone algorithms that include a DTMF tone detection algorithm from the firmware portion  224  to determine whether the digital central station communication signal  338  is a DTMF command. If the digital central station communication signal  338  is a DTMF command, the DSP  210  creates an instruction signal  332 -D and sends said instruction signal  332 -D to the system controller  230 . The system controller  230  receives the instruction signal  332 -D, and determines an action to be performed based on the information stored in the instruction signal  332 -D. In some embodiments, the central station  180  is able to control the two-way communication process with DTMF commands for listen, high gain listen, talk, VOX mode, extend mode to keep the two-way communication process active, and disconnect. If the DSP  210  determines that the digital central communication signal  338  is not a DTMF command, then the DSP  210  uses a VOX algorithm to provide two-way communication. 
         [0039]    The VOX algorithm allows the DSP  210  to analyze the digital microphone signal  336  and the digital central station communication signal  338  almost simultaneously to determine whether to switch the two-way speakerphone process into a talk mode or a listen mode. The DSP  210  switches the two-way speakerphone process into a talk mode when it detects that the sound level of the digital microphone signal  336  exceeds a minimum sound level threshold, regardless of the sound level of the digital central station communication signal  338 . The DSP  210  switches the two-way speakerphone process into a listen mode when the digital central station communication signal  338  exceeds a minimum sound level threshold and the digital microphone signal  336  is below the minimum sound level threshold. Thus, if both a user and the central station  180  are attempting to communicate at the same time, the user&#39;s communication will be sent to the central station  180  while the central station&#39;s  180  communication is removed. It would be obvious that in other embodiments, that the DSP  210  switches the two-way speakerphone process into a listen mode when the digital central station communication signal  338  exceeds a minimum sound level threshold, regardless of the sound level of the digital microphone signal  336 . 
         [0040]    When the DSP  210  switches the two-way speakerphone process into a talk mode, the digital microphone signal  336  is sent back to the CODEC  240  and the digital central station communication signal  338  is removed. The CODEC  240  converts the digital microphone signal  336  back into the analog microphone signal  334  and sends the analog microphone signal  334  to the telephone interface module  110 - 4 . The telephone interface module  110 - 4  receives the analog microphone signal  334  and sends the analog microphone signal  334  via a telephone line to the central station  180 . 
         [0041]    When the DSP  210  switches the security system  100  into a listen mode, the digital central station communication signal  338  is sent back to the CODEC  240  and the digital microphone signal  336  is removed. The CODEC  240  converts the digital central station communication signal  338  back into the analog central station communication signal  342  and sends the analog central station communication signal  342  to the audio amplifier  116  of the audio module  110 - 3 . The audio amplifier  116  receives the analog central station communication signal  342  and amplifies the analog central station communication signal  342 . The audio amplifier then sends the amplified central station communication signal  343  to the speaker  118  which broadcasts the amplified central station communication signal  343  to be heard by the user. 
         [0042]    In other embodiments, the security system  100  uses a dynamic echo cancellation method for two-way communication. In these embodiments, the microphone  122  collects and converts picked up sound waves into the analog microphone signal  334  and the analog microphone signal  334  is sent to the CODEC  240 . The CODEC  240  converts the analog microphone signal  334  into the digital microphone signal  336  and sends the digital user microphone signal  336  to the DSP  210 . The DSP  210  receives the digital microphone signal  336  and uses the two-way speakerphone algorithms from the firmware portion  224  to determine whether the digital microphone signal  336  is feedback from a previously received digital central station communication signal  338  sent from the central station  180  and broadcasted over the speaker  118  of the audio module  110 - 3 . If the digital microphone signal  336  is determined to be feedback from the digital central station communication signal  338 , the digital microphone signal  336  is removed. If the digital microphone signal  336  is not determined to be feedback from the digital central station communication signal  338 , the digital microphone signal  336  is sent back to the CODEC  240 . The CODEC  240  converts the digital microphone signal  336  back into the analog microphone signal  334  and sends the analog microphone signal  334  to the telephone interface module  110 - 4 . The telephone interface module  110 - 4  receives the analog microphone signal  334  via a telephone line to the central station  180 . When the central station  180  communicates to the user or the security system  100 , the analog central station communication signal  342  is sent via a telephone line to the telephone interface module  110 - 4  of the security system  100 . The telephone interface module  110 - 4  receives the analog central station communication signal  342  and sends the analog central station communication signal  342  to the CODEC  240 . The CODEC  240  receives and converts the analog central station communication signal  342  into the digital central station communication signal  338 . The CODEC  240  then sends the digital central station communication signal  338  to the DSP  210 . The DSP  210  uses the two-way speakerphone algorithms that include a DTMF tone detection algorithm from the firmware portion  224  to determine whether the digital central station communication signal  338  is a DTMF command. If the digital central station communication signal  338  is a DTMF command, the DSP  210  creates an instruction signal  332 -D and sends said instruction signal  332 -D to the system controller  230 . The system controller  230  receives the instruction signal  332 -D, and determines an action to be performed based on the information stored in the instruction signal  332 -D. In some embodiments, the central station  180  is able to control the two-way communication process with DTMF commands for listen, high gain listen, talk, extend mode to keep the two-way communication process active, and disconnect. 
         [0043]    The DSP  210  also uses the two-way speakerphone algorithms from the firmware portion  224  to determine whether the digital central station communication signal  338  is feedback from a previously received digital microphone signal  336  sent from the user to the central station  180 . If the digital central station communication signal  338  is determined to be feedback from the digital microphone signal  338 , the digital central station speech signal  338  is removed. If the digital central station communication signal  338  is not determined to be feedback from the digital microphone signal  336 , the digital central station communication signal  338  is sent back to the CODEC  240 . The CODEC  240  converts the digital central station communication signal  338  back into the analog central station communication signal  342  and sends the analog central station communication signal  342  to the audio amplifier  116  of the audio module  110 - 3 . The audio amplifier  116  receives the analog central station communication signal  342  and amplifies the analog central station communication signal  342 . The audio amplifier then sends the amplified central station communication signal  343  to the speaker  118  which broadcasts the amplified central station communication signal  343  to be heard by the user. 
         [0044]    Another communication function of the security system  100  is to provide remote programming of the hardware device modules of the security system  100  using the remote programming tool  195 . The remote programming tool  195  is directly coupled to the modem  114  which is indirectly coupled to the telephone interface module  110 - 4  over a telephone line. The remote programming tool  195  provides remote configuration to the security system  100  whether the remote programming tool  195  is located on the premises being secured or is located remote from the premises being secured. The remote programming tool  195  can be, for example, a personal computer, laptop, cell phone, PDA device or an electronic tool specifically designed for remote programming. Also, in some embodiments, the remote programming tool  195  is used to replace the operating software of the security system  100 .  FIG. 3E  provides a block diagram of a remote programming process according to one embodiment. 
         [0045]    When connected, a data message  344  sent from the remote programming tool  195  is received by the telephone interface module  110 - 4 . The data message  344  is then sent by the telephone interface module  110 - 4  to the CODEC  240 . The CODEC  240  receives and decodes the data message  344  into a decoded data message  346 . The CODEC  240  then sends the decoded data message  346  to the DSP  210 . The DSP  210  accesses firmware portion  224  for remote programming algorithms to process the decoded data message  346  and create a data configuration instruction  348 . The DSP  210  then sends the data configuration instruction  348  to the system controller  230 . The system controller  230  receives the data configuration instruction  348  and determines whether a configuration of a hardware device module is to be changed. If the system controller  230  determines that a change to the configuration of a hardware device module is necessary, the system controller  230  stores the data configuration instruction  348  into the configuration memory  270 , thereby updating the configuration settings of one or more hardware device modules. 
         [0046]    The security system  100  can also send data, including a data configuration instruction  348  to the remote programming tool  195 . The system controller  230  retrieves the data configuration instruction  348  to be sent to the remote programming tool  195  from the configuration memory  270 . The system controller  230  then sends the data configuration instruction  348  to the DSP  210 . The DSP  210  receives the data configuration instruction  348  and converts the data configuration instruction  348  into an unencoded data message  352 . The DSP  210  then sends the unencoded data message  352  to the CODEC  240 . The CODEC  240  encodes the unencoded data message  352  and sends the encoded data message  354  to the telephone interface module  110 - 4 . The telephone interface module  110 - 4  sends the encoded data message  354  via the modem  114  to the remote programming tool  195 .
