Abstract
An identification system combines RF identification tags with ambient condition detectors of a monitoring system. The tags could be carried by individuals in the region(s) being monitored to provide occupancy feedback to first responders in the event of an alarm condition.
Claims14
A method comprising:
- providing a plurality of passive location indicators;
- providing at least one locator activating electromagnetic field and wirelessly transmitting location specifying indicia in response thereto;
- sensing a first ambient condition at a first location;
- sensing indicia received at the first location;
- responsive to a sensed first condition at a first location, transmitting a representation of that condition to a displaced location;
- transmitting indicia received at the first location to the displaced location;
- and
- displaying representations of the indicia at a display location.
5 more elements
A system comprising:
- a plurality of ambient condition detectors, members of the plurality each include an RF receiver of identifying signals emitted from members of a plurality of RF emitting identification tags;
- and
- a control unit, displaced from the detectors which receives signals from the detectors indicative of sensed ambient conditions.
