Patent ID: 7577420

Claim:
A method in a security system for setting up an instant communication channel between a set of monitored resources, group of owners and group of helpers using half duplex communication call of second generation, two point five generation and third generation cellular wireless networks, said method comprising: a) associating said monitored resource with data to be communicated in said call; b) associating said monitored resource with at least one data gathering agent; c) associating said data gathering agent with at least one other said data gathering agent to form a local network of said data gathering agents; d) nominating one said data gathering agent as a gateway data gathering agent to enable connectivity to said cellular wireless network; e) associating said gateway data gathering agent with cellular wireless network connectivity to enable initiation of said call in said wireless network; f) detecting change in said data associated with said monitored resource by said data gathering agents; g) associating said change in said data with a data change event; h) associating said gateway data gathering agent with conditions and corresponding actions in relation to said data change event; i) associating one said condition and corresponding action with detection of an emergency situation; j) associating one said condition and corresponding action with call initiation procedure of said call; k) associating one said condition and corresponding action with data logging procedure in said gateway data gathering agent; l) associating said gateway data gathering agent with at least one said owner; m) associating said gateway data gathering agent with at least one said helper; n) transferring said event from said data gathering agents to said gateway data gathering agent in response to detecting said change in said data; o) transferring said data about monitored resource from said data gathering agents to said gateway data gathering agent in response to detecting said change in said data; p) detecting an emergency situation in said gateway data gathering agent in response to said data change event and associated condition; q) invoking said corresponding action to initiate said call using said call initiation procedure and said cellular wireless network connectivity in response to detection of said emergency situation and setup said call among said gateway data gathering agent, said helpers and said owners; r) transferring said data gathered in said emergency situation by said gateway data gathering agent into said call in real time; s) communicating request for new data from said owners and said helpers back to said gateway data gathering agents to enable gathering more data interactively in real time; t) communicating request for new data from said gateway data gathering agent to other data gathering agents to request for more data; and u) transferring data from said data gathering agents to said gateway data gathering agent in response to said request for more data.
