Abstract
Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods for managing building pathway information. A building and/or security management system can detect, based on receiving input from multiple sensor devices, a possible safety issue in a first pathway to an egress of a building, determine, based on detecting the possible safety issue and based on information regarding other pathways in the building, a second pathway to the egress of the building, and indicate at least the second pathway to another system.
Claims21
A computer-implemented method for managing building pathway information, comprising:
- detecting, by a building and/or security management system and based on receiving input from multiple sensor devices, a possible safety issue related to function of a first safety equipment device in a first pathway to an egress of a building;
- determining, by the building and/or security management system and based on detecting the possible safety issue and based on information regarding other pathways in the building, a second pathway to the egress, or a different egress, of the building, wherein determining the second pathway to the egress or the different egress is based on determining, by the building and/or security management system, that the second pathway has a second safety equipment device without the possible safety issue;
- and
- indicating at least the second pathway to another system.
An apparatus for managing building pathway information, comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor communicatively coupled with the memory and configured to execute a building and/or security management system for:
- detecting, based on receiving input from multiple sensor devices, a possible safety issue related to function of a first safety equipment device in a first pathway to an egress of a building;
- determining, based on detecting the possible safety issue and based on information regarding other pathways in the building, a second pathway to the egress, or a different egress, of the building, wherein determining the second pathway to the egress or the different egress is based on determining, by the building and/or security management system, that the second pathway has a second safety equipment device without the possible safety issue;
- and
- indicating at least the second pathway to another system.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, executable by a processor, for managing building pathway information, the code comprising code for:
- detecting, by a building and/or security management system and based on receiving input from multiple sensor devices, a possible safety issue related to function of a first safety equipment device in a first pathway to an egress of a building;
- determining, by the building and/or security management system and based on detecting the possible safety issue and based on information regarding other pathways in the building, a second pathway to the egress, or a different egress, of the building, wherein determining the second pathway to the egress or the different egress is based on determining, by the building and/or security management system, that the second pathway has a second safety equipment device without the possible safety issue;
- and
- indicating at least the second pathway to another system.
