Abstract

A gateway device for a fire control system is described herein. The gateway device can comprise a processor and a memory having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to detect that a network interface of the gateway device is connected to a network, receive data associated with the fire control system, and determine a data management scheme for the gateway device based on the type of detected network interface and the received data.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A gateway device for a fire control system, comprising:
 a network interface configured to connect to a network;   a processor; and   a memory having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to determine a data management scheme for the gateway device based on a type of the network interface.   
     
     
         2 . The gateway device of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
 receive data associated with the fire control system; and   determine the data management scheme based on the received data.   
     
     
         3 . The gateway device of  claim 2 , wherein the data is received via the network interface. 
     
     
         4 . The gateway device of  claim 2 , wherein the data is received via an additional interface of the gateway device. 
     
     
         5 . The gateway device of  claim 2 , wherein the data is associated with a cloud service for the fire control system. 
     
     
         6 . The gateway device of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions when executed by the processor cause the processor to detect that the network interface is connected to the network. 
     
     
         7 . The gateway device of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions when executed by the processor cause the processor to notify a user of the determined data management scheme. 
     
     
         8 . The gateway device of  claim 1 , wherein the determined data management scheme is for utilizing an available bandwidth of the gateway device. 
     
     
         9 . A method of operating a gateway device for a fire control system, comprising:
 connecting a network interface of the gateway device to a network; and   determining, by the gateway device, a data management scheme for the gateway device based on a type of the connected network interface.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the network is a cellular network. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the determined data management scheme is for a feature associated with a cloud service for the fire control system. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the method includes receiving, by the gateway device, a selection of the feature. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the feature is associated with available bandwidth of the gateway device for the cloud service. 
     
     
         14 . A fire control system, comprising:
 a gateway device having a plurality of network interfaces, wherein the gateway device is configured to:
 detect that one of the plurality of network interfaces is connected to a network; and 
 determine a data management scheme for the gateway device based on a type of the detected network interface. 
   
     
     
         15 . The fire control system of  claim 14 , wherein:
 the system includes a control panel having an interface; and   the gateway device is configured to connect to the interface of the control panel.   
     
     
         16 . The fire control system of  claim 15 , wherein the gateway device and the control panel are located in a same facility. 
     
     
         17 . The fire control system of  claim 14 , wherein the system includes a server configured to connect to the network. 
     
     
         18 . The fire control system of  claim 17 , wherein:
 the gateway device is located in a facility; and   the server is located remotely from the facility.   
     
     
         19 . The fire control system of  claim 14 , wherein the gateway device is configured to scan the plurality of network interfaces to detect that one of the plurality of network interfaces is connected to the network. 
     
     
         20 . The fire control system of  claim 14 , wherein the plurality of network interfaces includes at least one of:
 an ethernet interface;   a Wi-Fi interface;   a long-term evolution (LTE) interface; and   a public switched telephone network (PSTN) interface.
