Systems and methods for automated and centralized event detection and facility communication

A method for centralized event monitoring and notification communications, the method being performed by a central communication server and comprising:

• receiving, from the one or more sensors distributed through a facility, monitoring information indicative of an event occurring within the facility, the one or more sensors comprising at least one of environmental sensors, motion detectors, or security sensors;
• identifying, from an analysis of the event, a task associated with the event and requirements of the task;
• determining the task is eligible for automatic assignment, the determining comprising determining a category of the task and identifying the category corresponds to a category eligible for automatic assignment, wherein the determining comprises unassigning the task from an already assigned one of a plurality of individuals responsive to determining the task has not yet been started by the one of the individuals, each of the plurality of individuals associated with a mobile device comprising a display and executing a mobile application;
• identifying, responsive to determining the task is eligible for automatic assignment, a plurality of matches between the task and more than one of the individuals, the identifying being based on attributes of the individuals and requirements of the task, wherein the plurality of matches are ranked based upon scores assigned to each of the plurality of matches, wherein the scores are assigned based upon a quantity of matching attributes between the task and a corresponding individual;
• in response to identifying a match, auto-assigning the task to the individual corresponding to a match having a highest ranking, wherein auto-assigning comprises generating instructions for displaying a first graphical user interface on the one of the plurality of mobile devices associated with the one of the plurality of individuals auto-assigned to the task, the first graphical user interface comprising:
• a notification box comprising information associated with the event, the notification box displaying selected attributes of the task, the selected attributes being chosen based on space available on the display corresponding to the mobile device associated with the one of the plurality of individuals auto-assigned to the task and settings stored in the mobile application;
• and
• instructions associated with the event;
• transmitting, via the wireless network, the first graphical user interface instructions to the mobile device associated with the one of the plurality of individuals auto-assigned to the task;
• receiving a user interaction with the notification box;
• generating instructions for displaying a second graphical user interface in response to receiving the user interaction, the second graphical user interface comprising:
• a plurality of tasks associated with the one of the plurality of individuals auto-assigned to the task,
• a plurality of interactive selectable elements for entering task progress, and
• a start button;
• transmitting, via the wireless network, the second graphical user interface instructions to the mobile device associated with the one of the plurality of individuals auto-assigned to the task;
• and
• wherein the mobile device associated with the one of the plurality of individuals auto-assigned to the task is configured to display the first and second graphical user interfaces based on the transmitted instructions;
• determining one or more additional tasks are related to the task and auto-assign the one or more additional tasks to one or more individuals, wherein auto-assigning the one or more additional tasks comprises grouping the one or more additional tasks with the task and assigning the grouped tasks to one of:
• the individual or another of the one or more individuals, wherein assigning the grouped tasks to another of the one or more individuals comprises automatically unassigning the task from the individual.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions method for centralized event monitoring and notification communications, the method being performed by a central communication server and comprising:

• receiving, from the one or more sensors distributed through a facility, monitoring information indicative of an event occurring within the facility, the one or more sensors comprising at least one of environmental sensors, motion detectors, or security sensors;
• identifying, from an analysis of the event, a task associated with the event and requirements of the task;
• determining the task is eligible for automatic assignment, the determining comprising determining a category of the task and identifying the category corresponds to a category eligible for automatic assignment, wherein the determining comprises unassigning the task from an already assigned one of a plurality of individuals responsive to determining the task has not yet been started by the one of the individuals, each of the plurality of individuals associated with a mobile device comprising a display and executing a mobile application;
• identifying, responsive to determining the task is eligible for automatic assignment, a plurality of matches between the task and more than one of the individuals, the identifying being based on attributes of the individuals and the requirements of the task, wherein the plurality of matches are ranked based upon scores assigned to each of the plurality of matches, wherein the scores are assigned based upon a quantity of matching attributes between the task and a corresponding individual;
• in response to identifying a match, auto-assigning the task to one of:
• the individual identified as a match and the individual corresponding to a match having a highest ranking, wherein auto-assigning comprises generating instructions for displaying a first graphical user interface on the one of the plurality of mobile devices associated with the one of the plurality of individuals auto-assigned to the task, the first graphical user interface comprising:
• a notification box comprising information associated with the event, the notification box displaying selected attributes of the task, the selected attributes being chosen based on space available on the display corresponding to the mobile device associated with the one of the plurality of individuals auto-assigned to the task and settings stored in the mobile application;
• and
• instructions associated with the event;
• transmitting, via the wireless network, the first graphical user interface instructions to the mobile device associated with the one of the plurality of individuals auto-assigned to the task;
• receiving a user interaction with the notification box;
• generating instructions for displaying a second graphical user interface in response to receiving the user interaction, the second graphical user interface comprising:
• a plurality of tasks associated with the one of the plurality of individuals auto-assigned to the task,
• a plurality of interactive selectable elements for entering task progress, and
• a start button;
• transmitting, via the wireless network, the second graphical user interface instructions to the mobile device associated with the one of the plurality of individuals auto-assigned to the task;
• and
• wherein the mobile device associated with the one of the plurality of individuals auto-assigned to the task is configured to display the first and second graphical user interfaces based on the transmitted instructions;
• determining one or more additional tasks are related to the task and auto-assign the one or more additional tasks to one or more individuals, wherein auto-assigning the one or more additional tasks comprises grouping the one or more additional tasks with the task and assigning the grouped tasks to one of:
• the individual or another of the one or more individuals, wherein assigning the grouped tasks to another of the one or more individuals comprises automatically unassigning the task from the individual.
