Abstract

See full text

A security system can mitigate invasion risk faced by a homeowner or other person responding to a stranger who is seeking to interact with the responder or to gain premises access, for example when a supposed deliveryman approaches the front door. The homeowner can make an entry into a user interface of the security system in preparation for interacting with the stranger, such as to answer the front door. If the user does not make a second entry within a specified period of time indicating that the interaction was safely completed, the security system can raise an alarm or otherwise dispatch help. If the stranger turns out to be an intruder and forces the homeowner to make the second, all-clear entry, the homeowner can make a duress entry that appears to be an all-clear entry but in fact triggers a silent alarm or otherwise summons help.
