Abstract
A system and method used for monitoring conditions in a space through characterizing detected occupants with properties in accordance with time, location and tracked traversal path. The intruder as a detected occupant is distinguished from the tenant, property management staff, and visitor. The system triggers an alert indicative of a condition by sending signals and messages to selected devices or systems as receiving nodes. A condition, such as collected sensor data incompliant to a threshold, is detected and an alert is triggered. A user carried mobile device such as the cellular phone, elevator control system operative in a building are possible receiving nodes of a triggered alert for a detected condition.
Claims15
A method of monitoring a space, comprising:
- monitoring in a disarmed mode having ascertained one or more mobile devices are located within a distance threshold;
- monitoring in an armed mode having ascertained one or more mobile devices are located beyond a distance threshold;
- or monitoring in an armed mode following a lapse of a predetermined visit time period.
A method comprising:
- monitoring a space when receiving via a network information pertaining to the locations of one or more mobile devices;
- operating in a mode in accordance with the locations of the one or more mobile devices being beyond a distance threshold from the unoccupied space, including controlling, as in operating and non-operating, a temperature control device for maintaining the indoor temperature of the unoccupied space at a setback temperature settings;
- storing in a memory setback and set point temperature settings.
An apparatus for monitoring a space, the apparatus comprising:
- communicative linkage with at least one memory coupled application server through a network;
- communicative linkages with one or more devices pertinent to monitoring the space;
- monitoring in accordance with a disarmed mode pertaining to ascertainment of one or more mobile devices being located within a distance threshold, or, short-range wireless pairing communicative linkages with the one or more mobile devices;
- monitoring in accordance with an armed mode pertaining to ascertainment of one or more mobile devices being located beyond a distance threshold, or, dislodged short-range wireless pairing communicative linkages with the one or more mobile devices;
- or monitoring in accordance with an armed mode at the lapse of a predetermined visit time period.
