Patent ID: 8022819

Claim:
A method for electronically controlling cellular alarm systems, wherein by means of sensors of a control apparatus, physical measurement parameters of occurring measurement events are triggered and are filtered on the basis of predefined threshold values, and wherein the alarm systems are selected and activated electronically by means of the control apparatus if at least one corresponding threshold value of a measurement event is exceeded, and wherein, for activation, by means of the control apparatus dedicated activation signals are generated and transmitted to the respective alarm systems, wherein activation parameters of the activation signals generated by the control apparatus are cumulated by means of a counter module of the control apparatus within a predefined time window upon each activation and are stored, as a counter signal, in a memory unit of the control apparatus, each activation signal comprising at least one activation parameter corresponding to an extent of the activation of the corresponding alarm system, on the basis of the cumulated counter signal in combination with a geographical distribution of the alarm systems within a region monitored by means of the control apparatus and the associated sensors, associated activation index parameters are determined by means of a Monte Carlo module, which activation index parameters comprise at least one location-independent mean activation of the alarm systems in the region, the measurement parameters of the measurement event comprise geographical location parameters and physical measurement parameters, the activation index parameters being weighted dynamically by means of a filter module, after expiry of the time window, on the basis of the geographical location parameters and physical measurement parameters by means of a topographical grid of the monitored region and being stored in a grid-based, topographical lookup table, the measurement parameters being propagated, by means of an extrapolation module of the control apparatus, on the basis of stored modelled event functions for dynamic weighting, the activation signals transmitted to the alarm systems are generated in a grid-cell-wise graduated manner on the basis of the dynamic lookup table elements, the respective activation parameters of an activation signal corresponding to the respective dynamic lookup table element.
