Abstract
A method includes receiving, at a server, sensed data from a sensor located in a structure, wherein the sensor is part of an evacuation system for the structure. The method also includes determining, based on the sensed data, whether a threshold relative to the sensed data has been exceeded. The method further includes providing a notification if it is determined that the threshold is exceeded.
Claims14
A method comprising:
- mounting a sensor comprising a water flow sensor and a transmitter, the water flow sensor comprising a microphone mounted in a sleeve, the sleep wrapping around a water pipe of a structure, the water flow sensor further comprises a temperature detector to determine a temperature of the water pipe and the sensed data indicating that water is flowing through the water pipe;
- receiving, at a server, sensed data from the water flow sensor, wherein the water flow sensor is part of an evacuation system for the structure;
- receiving sensed data that indicates flowing water in the pipe and monitoring the temperature of the water pipe to identify a change in temperature that confirms the sensed data indicating water flowing in the pipe;
- determining, based on the sensed data, whether a threshold relative to the sensed data has been exceeded;
- and
- providing a notification if it is determined that the threshold is exceeded.

A system server comprising:
- a memory configured to store sensed data received from a sensor located in a structure, wherein the sensor is part of an evacuation system for the structure, the sensor comprises a water flow sensor and a transmitter, the water flow sensor comprises a microphone mounted in a sleeve, the sleep wrapping around a water pipe of a structure, the water flow sensor further comprises a temperature detector to determine a temperature of the water pipe and the sensed data indicating that water is flowing through the water pipe;
- a processor operatively coupled to the memory and configured to monitor the sensed temperature of the water pipe to identify a change in temperature that confirms the sensed data indicating water flowing in the pipe and to determine, based on the sensed data, whether a threshold relative to the sensed data has been exceeded;
- and
- a transmitter operatively coupled to the processor and configured to provide a notification if it is determined that the threshold is exceeded.
