Location-based device automation

This invention describes a system that automatically adjusts a location's security settings based on who is present. It works by a network device detecting multiple mobile phones within a defined area, like a geofence around a house. The system then compares current security settings with the detected presence and updates them, for instance, arming the alarm when everyone leaves or disarming it when someone arrives.

Why it matters: Since 2020, the maturation and broader adoption of smart home interoperability standards like Matter and Thread have significantly eased the integration challenges for diverse security control systems. This makes the core task of "configuring a security system automation setting" across different vendor products much more achievable and less reliant on bespoke integrations.
