System and method for data filtering and transmission management

A remote monitor comprising:

• a sensor;
• a database for storing data acquired by said sensor;
• a transmitter;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing computer code instructions that when executed on the processor perform operations comprising:
• defining an initial trend envelope for data acquired by said sensor, said initial trend envelope having a window around a forecast trend gradient, said window defined by an initial upper bound and an initial lower bound;
• processing a set of data points acquired by said sensor and identifying one or more data points outside said initial trend envelope;
• in response to identifying the one or more points outside said initial trend envelope:
• (i) identifying a set of extrema points within said set of data points;
• (ii) grading said identified extrema points, based on a change in direction and overall minimum to maximum difference;
• (iii) determining a set of history points corresponding to major extrema points selected from said identified extrema points, based on the grading;
• (iv) transmitting by said transmitter, to a central server, an event data packet, said event data packet including said identified data point a gradient associated with said identified data point, and said set of history points;
• and
• (v) identifying a subsequent trend envelope based on a trend gradient derived from a preceding set of data points, said preceding set of points including said identified point.

A remote monitoring system comprising:

• a remote monitor comprising:
• a sensor;
• a database for storing data acquired by said sensor;
• a transmitter for coupling to a communications network;
• a processor;
• and

• and
• (v) identifying a subsequent trend envelope based on a trend gradient derived from a preceding set of data points, said preceding set of points including said identified point;
• and
• a central server coupled to said communications network, said central server programmed to:
• receive said transmitted event data packet;
• and
• display a dashboard to a user computing device, said dashboard displaying dashboard information based on said event data packet transmitted from said remote monitor.
