Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a container notification system. In accordance with one aspect, the container notification system, includes a sensing device to generate a sensed signal; a detection device coupled to the sensing device, the detection device configured to detect a transition state of the sensed signal wherein the transition state is based on receipt of one or more content inputted to a container area; and a keep-alive component configured to transmit a diagnostic query based on a timetable to one or more components of the container notification system and further configured to receive one or more self-initiated health signals from at least one of the one or more components.
Claims15
A container notification system, comprising:
- a sensing device to generate a sensed signal;
- a detection device coupled to the sensing device, the detection device configured to detect a transition state of the sensed signal wherein the transition state is based on receipt of one or more content inputted to a container area;
- and
- a keep-alive component configured to transmit a diagnostic query based on a timetable to one or more components of the container notification system and further configured to receive one or more self-initiated health signals from at least one of the one or more components;
- wherein the keep-alive component is further configured to send a health alert signal to a user's communication device to indicate that one of the one or More components is not functioning appropriately if a self-initiated health signal is not received from the one of the one or more components.
