Abstract

Methods, devices, and systems for providing a standard operating procedure associated with a monitoring system of facility are described herein. One method includes determining a plurality of parameters associated with a facility having a monitoring system, accessing a library of SOP templates to determine a particular SOP template having a correlation with the plurality of parameters, allowing a user to create an SOP by customizing the particular SOP template, and associating the created SOP with the plurality of parameters.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A method for providing a standard operating procedure (SOP) associated with a monitoring system of a facility, comprising:
determining a plurality of parameters associated with a facility having a monitoring system;
accessing a library of customizable SOP templates associated with events;
comparing the plurality of parameters associated with the facility and corresponding parameters associated with the customizable SOP templates to a threshold level of similarity;
determining a particular customizable SOP template associated with an event by identifying a correlation with the plurality of parameters associated with the facility, the particular customizable SOP template is determined to have a correlation with the plurality of parameters associated with the facility when the plurality of parameters associated with the facility and the corresponding parameters associated with the particular customizable SOP template exceed the threshold level of similarity;
allowing a user to create an SOP associated with the event by customizing the particular customizable SOP template;
associating the created SOP with the plurality of parameters;
detecting with the monitoring system an occurrence of a particular event in the facility;
determining the particular event in the facility matches the event associated with the created SOP; and
causing the created SOP to execute responsive to the particular event in the facility being detected and matching the event associated with the created SOP.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring system is a security system of the facility.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of parameters associated with the facility and used to determine a correlation with the particular customizable SOP template associated with an event include:
a type of the facility;
a size of the facility; and
a purpose of the facility.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of parameters associated with the facility and used to determine a correlation with the particular customizable SOP template associated with an event include:
a size of the monitoring system;
a security level of at least one area of the monitoring system; and
a structure of the monitoring system.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the plurality of parameters associated with the facility includes categorizing the facility as one of a plurality of categories, and wherein accessing the library of SOP templates to determine the particular SOP template having the correlation with the plurality of parameters includes determining that the particular SOP template corresponds to one of the plurality of categories.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein each SOP template of the library of SOP templates includes a respective name, identifier, description, and category.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein each SOP template of the library of SOP templates is associated with a respective event in the facility.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the library is configured to be searched based on at least one of the plurality of parameters.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method includes automatically customizing a portion of the particular SOP template based on the parameters without any input made by a user.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processor to:
determine a plurality of parameters associated with a facility having a monitoring system;
access a library of customizable SOP templates associated with events;
compare the plurality of parameters associated with the facility and corresponding parameters associated with the customizable SOP templates to a threshold level of similarity;
determine a particular customizable SOP template associated with an event by identifying a correlation with the plurality of parameters associated with the facility, the particular customizable SOP template is determined to have a correlation with the plurality of parameters associated with the facility when the plurality of parameters associated with the facility and the corresponding parameters associated with the particular customizable SOP template exceed the threshold level of similarity;
allow a user to create an SOP associated with the event by customizing the particular customizable SOP template;
associate the created SOP with the plurality of parameters;
detect with the monitoring system an occurrence of a particular event in the facility;
determine the particular event in the facility matches the event associated with the created SOP; and
cause the created SOP to execute responsive to the particular event in the facility being detected and matching the event associated with the created SOP.

11. The computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor further generate a report concerning the particular event responsive to the execution of the created SOP.

12. The computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor further receive inputs by a user during the execution of the created SOP.

13. The computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of parameters associated with the facility and used to determine a correlation with the particular customizable SOP template associated with an event include:
a type of the facility;
a size of the facility; and
a purpose of the facility.

14. The computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor automatically customize a portion of the particular SOP template based on the parameters without any input made by a user.
