Central alarm station interface for situation awareness
| DWPI Title: Computer-based method for analyzing security alarms, involves identifying number of alarms as genuiune, and assigning threat confidence level to alarms o number of alarms identified as genuine by number of processors |
| Abstract: A method for analyzing security alarms is provided. The method comprising receiving alarm data from a number of security sensors generating alarms, wherein the alarm data includes spatio-temporal data regarding where and when an alarm is triggered. The alarm data is displayed on a user interface. The alarm data is analyzed for spatio-temporal relationships among the alarms according to a number of pattern recognition algorithms. The alarms are identified as genuine alarms if a discernable pattern is recognized among the alarms. |
| Use: Computer-based method for analyzing security alarms. |
| Advantage: The method recognizes and taken into account that frequent investigation of false and nuisance alarm results in security personnel to lose situation awareness and compromise the ability to accurately distinguish genuine threats in the midst of numerous false and/or nuisance alarms. The near-term projection facilitates the direction and coordination of response personnel to the correct location. |
| Novelty: The method (500) involves receiving (502) an alarm data from a number of security sensors generating alarms by a number of processors, and the alarm data includes spatio-temporal data regarding when a number of alarms are triggered. The alarm data is displayed (508) on a user interface by the number of processors. The alarm data is analyzed (510) for spatio-temporal relationships among the number of alarms according to a number of pattern recognition algorithms by the number of processor. The number of alarms as genuine is identified (516) if a discernable pattern is recognized among the number of alarms by the number of processors. A threat confidence level is assigned to alarms of the number of alarms identified as genuine by the number of processors. |
