Abstract
An emergency guidance and advisement system is provided to automatically determine a floor map of a building and using the floor map for advising how to exit the building during an emergency, such as a fire. The system can automatically create an escape plan, based on pre-disaster and in-disaster motion detection of users within the home, and provide dynamic advisement to guide users out of the home during an emergency.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a central monitoring system for monitoring a building;
- user detectors configured to detect the presence of users within the building;
- fire detectors configured to detect locations of fires within the building;
- and
- signaling devices configured to emit signals to indicate an exit route for exiting the building;
- wherein the central monitoring system is configured to:
- receive user presence information from the user detectors;
- use the user presence information to determine a floormap of the building, the floormap indicating routes within the building, including exits out of the building;
- receive fire indication information from the fire detectors located within the building, the fire indication information indicating one or more locations within the building that may have a fire;
- predict locations of the users within the building based at least in part on the fire indication information;
- determine, based on the floormap, the fire indication information, and the predicted locations of the users, one or more exit routes that can be used by the users to exit the building, the exit routes avoiding the locations within the building that may have the fire;
- and
- send signaling instructions to the signaling devices for the signaling devices to emit a signal to indicate to the users an exit route to exit the building.

A method for automatically guiding users out of a building during an emergency, the method comprising:
- receiving user presence information from user detectors;
- determining a floormap of the building based on the user presence information, the floormap indicating routes within the building, the routes including exits out of the building;
- receiving fire indication information from fire detectors located within the building, the fire indication information indicating one or more locations within the building that may have a fire;
- predicting locations of the users within the building based at least in part on the fire indication information;
- determining, based on the floormap, the fire indication information, and the predicted locations of the users, one or more exit routes that can be used by the users to exit the building, the exit routes avoiding the locations within the building that may have the fire;
- and
- sending signaling instructions to signaling devices for the signaling devices to emit a signal to indicate to the users at least one of the exit routes to exit the building.
