A method is disclosed for remote monitoring of a premises, comprising the steps of operatively coupling a geographically remote client to a security system server which is capable of authenticating a user of the remote client, operatively coupling the remote client to a security gateway which is capable of managing the monitoring of the premises, activating a signal at the premises for notifying an occupant at the premises that remote monitoring is occurring, and transferring information between the security gateway and the remote client. The transfer of information between the security gateway and the remote client is controlled by the user of the remote client. The security gateway may be operably coupled to at least one camera at the premises and to at least one audio station at the premises.

An integrated system includes a system user interface (SUI) that provides an iconic, at-a-glance representation of integrated security system status. The SUI is for use across all client devices including mobile or cellular telephones, a mobile portal, a web portal, and a touchscreen device. The SUI includes a number of display elements presented across all types of client devices for monitoring status of the integrated security system. The display elements of the SUI include an orb icon, text summary, security button, device warnings, system warnings, interesting sensors, and quiet sensors. The SUI thus provides system status summary information agnostically across all clients. Additionally, the SUI provides consistent iconography, terminology, and display rules across all clients as well as consistent sensor and system detail across clients.

Cross-client sensor user interface in an integrated security network

The invention provides an image display device that has an especially satisfactory display quality for animated images, and sufficiently suppresses the irregularities of display quality among pixels. The image display device includes a light emitting drive means that drives a light emitting means, based on an analog display signal inputted to the pixels, and a light emitting control switch for controlling a light-on or light-off of the light emitting means on one end of the light emitting drive means in each pixel.

An integrated security system is described that integrates broadband and mobile access and control with conventional security systems and premise devices to provide a tri-mode security network (broadband, cellular/GSM, POTS access) that enables users to remotely stay connected to their premises. The integrated security system, while delivering remote premise monitoring and control functionality to conventional monitored premise protection, complements existing premise protection equipment. The integrated security system integrates into the premise network and couples wirelessly with the conventional security panel, enabling broadband access to premise security systems. Automation devices (cameras, lamp modules, thermostats, etc.) can be added, enabling users to remotely see live video and/or pictures and control home devices via their personal web portal or webpage, mobile phone, and/or other remote client device. Users can also receive notifications via email or text message when happenings occur, or do not occur, in their home.

Security network integrated with premise security system

Embodiments include systems and methods comprising a gateway located at a premise forming at least one network on the premise that includes a plurality of premise devices. A sensor user interface (SUI) is coupled to the gateway and presented to a user via a remote device. The SUI includes at least one display element. The at least one display element includes a floor plan display that represents at least one floor of the premise. The floor plan display visually and separately indicates a location and a current state of each premise device of the plurality of premise devices.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polarizing film that has less color spots, excels in dimensional stability, and is useful as a material for manufacturing a polarizing film for high quality liquid crystal display. SOLUTION: A method for manufacturing the polarizing film is characterized in that a polyvinyl alcohol film with a thickness of 10-50 μm is stretched by a tensile force of 1,000 N/m or below.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To save capacity of a recording medium for monitoring etc., and surely record only the pictures before and after an alarm is inputted. SOLUTION: Picture signals from a camera 7 are alternately recorded in VTR I, VTR II by controlling three or more recording and reproducing units (VTR I, II, III). When an alarm is inputted to VTR I during recording, a program searching signal is recorded in a recording medium (magnetic tape), and VTR I continues recording. Next, while VTR II is recording, VTR I searches the program searching signal, and reproduces the pictures recorded for a prescribed period before and after the program searching signal, and records and stores the pictures in VTR III. In such a manner, only the pictures before and after the alarm input are recorded and stored in VTR III.

(57) Abstract: Significant information is obtained from a detection signal obtained by a sensor, and distortion generated in the detection signal by the sensor is adjusted based on the significant information. SOLUTION: A signal processing unit 12 has a second dimension having a smaller dimension than the first dimension, obtained by detecting a first signal which is a real-world signal having a first dimension by a sensor. Having a distortion on the first signal By performing signal processing based on the second signal, a third signal with reduced distortion as compared with the second signal is generated.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To process an image while corresponding to the mixture of a background image and an image of a moving object. SOLUTION: An area specifying part 103 respectively specifies the pixels of an inputted image to be any among a foreground area, a background area and a mixed area, and supplies area information showing which each pixel belongs to among the foreground area, the background area and the mixed area to an area processing part 104. The area processing part 104 divides the inputted image in each of the foreground area, the background area or the mixed area on the basis of the area information supplied from the area specifying part 103 and performs image processing such as that generates a coefficient used in class sorting adaptation processing for generating an image of higher resolution in each divided inputted image, creates an image of higher resolution by applying the class sorting adaptation processing in each divided inputted image or applies edge enhancement processing with different degrees of edge enhancement by using respective different coefficients in each divided inputted image.
