Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for monitoring properties of building structures (e.g., monitoring the strength and humidity of concrete structures) using sensor devices embedded in the building structures. The sensor devices collect sensor data and wirelessly transmit the data to portable computer devices operated by users.
Claims7
A portable computer device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- memory associated with the at least one processor;
- a communication module connected to the at least one processor for receiving data wirelessly from a plurality of sensor devices;
- and
- a program supported in the memory for monitoring properties of a building structure, the program having a plurality of instructions stored therein which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- (a) receive data via the communication module from the plurality of sensor devices, said plurality of sensor devices being embedded in the building structure;
- (b) calculate a plurality of metrics relating to the building structure based on the data received in (a);
- (c) record locations on a floorplan where each of the plurality of sensor devices is positioned;
- and
- (d) synchronize information relating to said sensor devices or the building structure with portable computer devices operated by other users.
