Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for managing communications. One of the systems includes a plurality of security systems, each security system including a secure network coupling a plurality of security devices; a plurality of user devices authorized to send and receive communications associated with a respective security system of the plurality of security systems; and a service provider system configured to manage communications for each of the plurality of security systems with respective user devices, wherein, the service provider system or the user devices are configured to communicate with a push service to send push notifications.

Security system communications management

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for event notification. One of the methods includes receiving an event from a security system; determining at least one contact to notify of the alert from a collection of contacts, the determining including applying one or more event notification rules, wherein the one or more event notification rules include one or more event notification rules specified by a user of the security system and wherein a number and identity of the at least one contact varies depending on the applicable rules of the one or more event notification rules; transmitting an event notification to the one or more determined contacts; and performing a security action based on feedback from one or more of the determined contacts.

Event notification

Methods, systems, and apparatus, are provided for wireless networking. In some implementations, a self-configuring wireless system includes at least one wireless network device; and an access point device; wherein the access point device and the at least one wireless network device are preconfigured with a common key so as to enable the access point device to establish a secure wireless network with the at least one network device using the common key upon powering up the access point device and the at least one wireless network device at a user site.

Self-configuring wireless network

Methods, systems, and apparatus are provided for power management. The methods include detecting a triggering event at a sensor device of a security system; activating a wireless transmitter/receiver from a low power mode; detecting a broadcast beacon frame from an access point device; transmitting a probe request frame that includes triggering event data; and returning the wireless transmitter/receiver to a low power mode.

Security system device power management

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for access and control of networked devices. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request for access to a security system device; determining whether the device is set to a first mode or a second mode; and in response to determining that the device is in the second mode, generating one or more notifications to authorized users identifying the access to the security device.

Security system access detection

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for power management. One of the methods includes determining that there is a loss in electricity to a security system management device; entering low power state; receiving a wireless sensor alert while in the low power state; in response to the alert: returning to normal power state to transmit an alarm to a service provider system, and returning to low power state after transmitting the alarm; and returning to normal power state when electricity is restored.

Security system power management

An automatic Engineering Change Order (ECO) methodology to effectively and efficiently carry out an ECO process is provided. In the present invention, an ECO framework, which includes a database and Computer Aided Design (CAD) software tools, is implemented as part of the ECO process. The ECO framework database is used in monitoring the gate array cells reserved for ECO modifications. In addition, the database also stores information related to the gate array cells such as their timing characterization, fanout characteristics, physical locations, and others. The database also includes library for storing selected connectivity patterns for logic cells. On the other hand, the ECO framework CAD software tools are used to place the reserved gate array cells in a physical layout and to monitor their status. The CAD software tools is also used to select gate array cells from the database for ECO changes according to predetermined criteria.

Automatic engineering change order methodology

A method and system to use a standard cell function library to automatically configure gate array cells in an integrated circuit layout is provided. A standard cell netlist at the transistor level is compiled to list the transistors required in implementing the desired functions. Based on the netlist, gate array cells are restructured so that they can be inserted in locations designed for standard cells. The restructured gate array cells, which are made up of single poly and double poly structures, are strategically placed in a layout. Using the function net connectivity patterns from the standard cell function library, the gate array cells are connected to implement desired logic functions.

Automatic configuration of gate array cells using a standard cell function library

A method and system to efficiently incorporate engineering change order (ECO) modifications into an integrated circuit layout having configurable gate array cells is provided. In generating the original integrated circuit layout, extra gate array cells are inserted into the layout. These gate array cells can be reconfigured to modify their functionality according to changes specified by the ECO. A new netlist with a description of the required modifications is generated and provided to a place-and-route CAD tool to create a new layout of the integrated circuit.
