Delivery of alarm system event data and audio. In certain aspects, a method for delivery of alarm system event data is described, including communicating alarm event data from an alarm system to a private telecommunications switch. In turn, the alarm event data may be communicated to a message processing gateway. The message processing gateway evaluates service parameters of the alarm system and, in certain cases, instructs the private telecommunications switch to contact a central alarm monitoring station if certain service parameters are met. In additional aspects, private telecommunications switch opens a voice channel between the private telecommunications switch and the central alarm monitoring station and communicates the alarm event data. Additionally, in response to a determination that a voice channel between the private telecommunications switch and the central alarm monitoring station remains open, the private telecommunications switch may also bridge the voice channel to the alarm system.

Delivery of alarm system event data and audio

Delivery of alarm system event data and audio over hybrid networks is described. In one embodiment, delivering alarm system event data includes detecting an alarm event and communicating alarm event data to a message processing gateway, evaluating service parameters of the alarm system and conditions of the alarm event data, forwarding the alarm event data and a voice channel code to a telecommunications switch, and opening a voice channel between the telecommunications switch and a central alarm monitoring station. In other aspects, delivering alarm system event data and connecting a voice channel further includes determining whether the voice channel remains open, forwarding a routing code to the alarm system, opening a voice channel between the alarm system and the telecommunications switch, and bridging the voice channel between the telecommunications switch and the central alarm monitoring station and the voice channel between the alarm system and the telecommunications switch.

Delivery of alarm system event data and audio over hybrid networks

A telemetry system coupled to a vehicle can communicate with a remote site using the overhead control channels of a wireless network, such as a cellular mobile radiotelephone network. The telemetry system can monitor or control aspects of the vehicle's operations based on remote user input. The telemetry system can receive a command from a data processing center and, based on the command, perform an action at the vehicle such that a user can remotely interact with the vehicle.

Method and system for interacting with a vehicle over a mobile radiotelephone network

A system coupled to one or more vending machines, such as soft drink vending machines, via a wireless data link can acquire operational vending data, for example sales data, hardware status, and product temperature. The system can compile data from multiple vending machines dispersed across a geographic area such as a city or state. The system can include software that refines the vending operations of one or more such vending machines based on analysis of acquired data, taking into consideration other information such as market, business, seasonal, or environmental factors. Refining vending operations can include adjusting product offerings, relocating vending machines, replicating favorable conditions, and addressing unexpected sales variations.

Method and system for managing vending operations based on wireless data

A telemetry system coupled to a vehicle can communicate with a remote site using a wireless network, such as a cellular mobile radiotelephone network. The telemetry system can monitor aspects of the vehicle's operations based on remote user input. The telemetry system can monitor a vehicle's location or a crossing of a geographical boundary by the vehicle.

Communication of managing vending operations based on wireless data

A telemetry system coupled to a vehicle can communicate with a remote site using the overhead control channels of a wireless network, such as a cellular mobile radiotelephone network. The telemetry system can monitor or control aspects of the vehicle's operations based on remote user input. The telemetry system can monitor a driver's driving practices and report incidences that meet preset criteria, such as violating a speed limit for a selected amount of time or a crossing of a geographical boundary.

A telemetry system coupled to a vehicle can communicate with a remote site using the overhead control channels of a wireless network, such as a cellular mobile radiotelephone network. The telemetry system can monitor or control aspects of the vehicle's operations based on remote user input. The telemetry system can take steps to reduce its consumption of electricity. When conditions warrant, the telemetry system can disable a driver's attempt to start the vehicle. A relay can consume minimal electricity until an unauthorized driver attempts to start the vehicle, at which time the telemetry system can energize the relay to interrupt the starting sequence. The telemetry system can monitor a driver's driving practices and report incidences that meet preset criteria, such as violating a speed limit for a selected amount of time or a crossing of a geographical boundary.
