Abstract
Systems and methods are described for securing structures with moveable components. A structure may comprise a plurality of panes. A sensor device may be disposed on a pane of the structure. The sensor device may determine a position of the pane. A computing device in communication with the sensor device may receive, from the sensor device, an indication of the position or state of the pane. The computing device may determine, based on the position or state of the pane, a state of the structure.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a first sensor device disposed on a first moveable pane of a plurality of moveable panes of a window, an indication of an angular position of the first moveable pane;
- receiving, from a second sensor device disposed on a second moveable pane of the plurality of moveable panes of the window, an indication of an angular position of the second moveable pane;
- and
- based on a determination that the angular position of the first moveable pane differs from the angular position of the second moveable pane by a threshold amount, determining the window is in a breached state.
A computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to:
- receive, from a first sensor device disposed on a first moveable pane of a plurality of moveable panes of a window, an indication of an angular position of the first moveable pane;
- receive, from a second sensor device disposed on a second moveable pane of the plurality of moveable panes of the window, an indication of an angular position of the second moveable pane;
- and
- based on a determination that the angular position of the first moveable pane differs from the angular position of the second moveable pane by a threshold amount, determine the window is in a breached state.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:
- receiving, from a first sensor device disposed on a first moveable pane of a plurality of moveable panes of a window, an indication of an angular position of the first moveable pane;
- receiving, from a second sensor device disposed on a second moveable pane of the plurality of moveable panes of the window, an indication of an angular position of the second moveable pane;
- and
- based on a determination that the angular position of the first moveable pane differs from the angular position of the second moveable pane by a threshold amount, determining the window is in a breached state.
