Abstract
Systems and methods for monitoring event through the use of occurrence records in order to take one or more actions are described herein. An occurrence record is received and processed. The occurrence record includes one or more parameters and are indicative of an event of a given type. The received occurrence record is compared to one or more trigger-based rules. When a trigger condition of a trigger-based rule is met, the trigger-based rule is executed. When one or more other conditions of the executed trigger-based rule is met, a command for an action is generated.
Claims22
A method of alerting one or more portable computing devices of a presence of a nearby target vehicle by a monitoring system, the method comprising:
- receiving an occurrence record indicative of a license plate read event by a camera, the occurrence record including a geographic parameter corresponding to a location of the camera and a licence plate number of the license plate read event;
- determining that the licence plate number corresponds to a target licence plate number of a plurality of target license plate numbers corresponding to a plurality of target vehicles;
- searching for one or more portable computing devices that are within a pre-determined perimeter of the location of the camera and retrieving one or more identifiers corresponding to, respectively, each of one or more portable computing device that is identified within the pre-determined perimeter of the location of the camera;
- transmitting a notification to each of the one or more portable computing devices corresponding to each of the one or more identifiers, the notification including the licence plate number, the notification is for alerting a recipient of the notification of a possible presence of the target vehicle in a vicinity of the recipient;
- wherein the method further comprises receiving geolocation data from a plurality of mobile computing devices;
- and wherein searching for the one or more portable computing devices comprises identifying, from the plurality of mobile devices, the one or more computing devices within the pre-determined perimeter of the location of the camera based on the geolocation data.
A computing device for alerting one or more portable computing devices of a presence of a nearby target vehicle by a monitoring system, the computing device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory including program code that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
- receive an occurrence record indicative of a license plate read event by a camera, the occurrence record including a geographic parameter corresponding to a location of the camera and a licence plate number of the license plate read event;
- determine that the licence plate number corresponds to a target licence plate number of a plurality of target license plate numbers corresponding to a plurality of target vehicles;
- search for one or more portable computing devices that are within a pre-determined perimeter of the location of the camera and retrieving one or more identifiers corresponding to, respectively, each of the one or more portable computing devices that are identified within the pre-determined perimeter of the location of the camera;
- transmit a notification to each of the one or more portable computing devices corresponding to each of the one or more identifiers, the notification including the licence plate number, the notification is for alerting a recipient of the notification of a possible presence of the target vehicle in a vicinity of the recipient;
- and
- receive geolocation data from a plurality of mobile computing devices;
- wherein the program code that causes the processor to search for the one or more portable computing devices further causes the processor to, when executed by the processor, identify, from the plurality of mobile devices, the one or more computing devices within the pre-determined perimeter of the location of the camera based on the geolocation data.
