Abstract

Systems and methods for managing alert notifications from a secured area are provided. Such systems and methods can include a surveillance device monitoring the secured area and transmitting data captured from the secured area to an artificial intelligence module, the artificial intelligence module using the data to identify a scenario associated with the secured area and a notification priority of the scenario, and when the notification priority is at or above a preconfigured level, the artificial intelligence module transmitting an alert notification to a cloud server indicative of the scenario.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving first data from a first surveillance device that monitors a first secured area;
a processor applying a trained artificial intelligence model to the first data to identify a first scenario associated with the first secured area and a first alert notification having a first notification priority of the first scenario;
wherein when the first notification priority is at or above a preconfigured level, the processor transmitting, via a transceiver device, the first alert notification with the first notification priority to a cloud server indicative of the first scenario;
wherein when the first notification priority is below the preconfigured level, the processor automatically initiating, without user input, a local action in the first secured area to attempt to resolve the first scenario, and when the processor identifies via the trained artificial intelligence model being applied to the first data from the first surveillance device that the first scenario has not been resolved by the local action, the processor increasing the first notification priority to at least the preconfigured level;
when the first notification priority has been increased to at least the preconfigured level by the processor, the processor transmitting, via the transceiver device, the first alert notification with the first notification priority to the cloud server indicative of the first scenario;
when the first notification priority is below the preconfigured level and has not been increased to at least the preconfigured level by the processor, the processor transmitting, via the transceiver device, an event notification to the cloud server; and
in response to receiving the first alert notification with the first notification priority at or above the preconfigured level, the cloud server transmitting one or more notifications to a user device that is remote from the cloud server for display on a user interface of the user device, and in response to receiving user input via the user interface of the user device, the user device sending an instructional to the cloud server instructing the cloud server to take action to resolve the first scenario.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the first alert notification includes a copy of the first data.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the first alert notification includes contact information for a security guard assigned to the first secured area.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the first data includes audio data or video data captured from the first secured area.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the first scenario includes a person in the first secured area attempting to hide an identity of the person.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the first scenario includes multiple people being present in the first secured area in excess of a predetermined number.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the first scenario includes a presence of a weapon in the first secured area.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein, when the processor recognizes an identity of a person present in the first secured area, the processor uses the first data and the identity of the person to identify the first scenario and the first notification priority.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the transceiver device receives second data from a second secured area, and wherein the processor uses the second data to identify a second scenario associated with the second secured area and a second alert notification having a second notification priority of the second scenario, and transmits, via the transceiver device, the second alert notification indicative of the second scenario when the second notification priority is at or above the preconfigured level.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the trained artificial intelligence model is trained using historical data received from the first surveillance device during known training scenarios.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the local action includes broadcasting a pre-recorded local message in the first secured area instructing a person in the first secured area to perform an action.

12. A method comprising:
receiving first data from a first surveillance device that monitors a first secured area;
a processor using the first data to identify a first scenario associated with the first secured area and a first alert notification having a first notification priority of the first scenario, wherein the first scenario includes identifying that a person in the first secured area is obscured;
wherein when the first notification priority is at or above a preconfigured level, a transceiver device transmitting the first alert notification with the first notification priority to a cloud server indicative of the first scenario;
wherein when the first notification priority is below the preconfigured level, and in response to identifying the person in the first secured area as being obscured, automatically initiating, without user input, a local action in the first secured area to attempt to resolve the first scenario by broadcasting a pre-recorded local message in the first secured area instructing the person to stop obscuring their identity, and when the person fails to stop obscuring their identity, the processor increasing the first notification priority to at least the preconfigured level;
in response to the first notification priority having been increased to at least the preconfigured level, the transceiver device transmitting the first alert notification to the cloud server indicative of the first scenario; and
in response to receiving the first alert notification with the first notification priority at or above the preconfigured level, the cloud server transmitting one or more notifications to a user device that is remote from the cloud server for display on a user interface of the user device, and in response to receiving user input via the user interface of the user device, the user device sending an instructional to the cloud server instructing the cloud server to take action to resolve the first scenario.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein the first data includes video data captured from the first secured area.

14. The method of claim 12 wherein the processor is integrated with the first surveillance device.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the processor uses artificial intelligence to identify the first scenario associated with the first secured area.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the processor uses an artificial intelligence model that is trained using historical data received from the first surveillance device during known training scenarios.

17. A system comprising:
a transceiver device that receives first data from a first surveillance device that monitors a first secured area;
a processor that uses the first data to identify a first scenario associated with the first secured area and a first alert notification having a first notification priority associated with the first scenario that is below a preconfigured level, wherein the first scenario includes identifying a number of people present in the first secured area that is in excess of a predetermined maximum number of people;
the processor using the first data to identify a second scenario associated with the first secured area and a second alert notification having a second notification priority associated with the second scenario that is above the preconfigured level;
the transceiver device transmitting the second alert notification to a cloud server indicative of the second scenario;
in response to the first scenario, the processo
