Mobile wireless device with location-dependent capability

摘要

A system for controlling a plurality of surveillance, monitoring and security devices within a prescribed area, including a mobile transmitter device configured to transmit a wireless signal to a remote device. Where the remote device controls the area-specific systems in response to the wireless signal. The devices able to be controlled depend on the location of the mobile transmitter device and information carried by the signal. Also, a method for controlling devices within prescribed areas of a building, including monitoring a location of a mobile transmitter device within the building, receiving a wireless signal from the mobile transmitter device, and controlling specific functions of the systems based on a location of the mobile transmitter device and the information carried by the transmitted signal.

1. A system for controlling a plurality of surveillance, monitoring, and security devices comprising:
an operations center including a processor and a remote receiving device; and at least one mobile transmitter device configured to transmit a wireless signal to said remote receiving device; wherein said remote receiving device relays said wireless signal to said processor and said processor activates at least one of a surveillance, monitoring, or security device in response to said wireless signal; and wherein said wireless signal comprises a threat level indicator configured to change a threat level status of said system; wherein areas of the system containing said at least one of surveillance, monitoring, or security devices are grouped based at least in part on an assigned privacy threshold value for each area of the system; wherein said threat level indicator is compared against said privacy threshold value assigned to each area of the system to selectively activate said at least one of surveillance, monitoring, or security devices; and wherein said privacy threshold value is assigned to each of said areas of the system upon a determination of a degree of privacy desired in each of said areas of the system containing said at least one of surveillance, monitoring, or security devices in relation to external threats.
