Patent ID: 8531294

Claim:
A system for processing sensor data captured for a fixed property defined by a first zone in combination with geographic location tracking data of one or more mobile assets associated with the fixed property, the system comprising: a monitoring system for the fixed property defined by the first zone that includes one or more sensors that are installed at the fixed property and that is configured to detect alarm events at the fixed property and report detected alarm events to a central monitoring station that dispatches emergency services based on reported alarm events; mobile devices that are configured to track and report geographic location data for mobile assets associated with the fixed property, the mobile devices including at least a first mobile device of a first user associated with the fixed property and a second mobile device of a second user associated with the fixed property; and a monitoring application server that is configured to electronically receive, either directly or via a network communications module, data communications based on sensor data captured by the one or more sensors installed at the fixed property and that is configured to receive data communications from the mobile devices that are configured to track and report geographic location data, the monitoring application server being configured to perform operations comprising: detecting a condition related to providing a reminder to arm the security system based on a time of day and a level of activity within the fixed property measured by the one or more sensors that are installed at the fixed property; based on detecting the condition related to providing the reminder to arm the security system, determining geographic locations of all users that reside at the fixed property based on geographic location data reported by the mobile devices; based on the determined geographic locations of all users that reside at the fixed property, determining whether any of the users that reside at the fixed property are within a second zone defining an arming reminder decision zone, the second zone defining the arming reminder decision zone being different from the first zone defining the fixed property; based on a determination that at least one of the users that reside at the fixed property are within the second zone defining the arming reminder decision zone, determining not to provide a reminder to arm the security system, and based on a determination that all of the users that reside at the fixed property are outside of the second zone defining the arming reminder decision zone, determining to provide a reminder to arm the security system.
