A method of combining three types of technologies: wireless communication, a stand alone independent activatable power source and one or more sensors or detectors to form an Activatable Data Transmitter device (ADT) that can capture and transmit environmental data proximal to the ADT. In any specific application or use the sensor type and power component would be coupled or integrated with a wireless transmitter. Multiple and various ADT types would be employed in spaces or places where no battery or wired power source exists, access is difficult or impossible, use of wired power or wired signal or both would be expensive or impossible or some combination thereof. As part of the invention the ADTs would forward the sensed data to a Receiver System either directly for use, processing and/or display or via a Data Repeater.
An activatable data transmitter device comprising:
5. The transmitter of claim 1, wherein activatable power generating component generates power for the data collecting sensor.
The transmitter of claim wherein device's data collecting sensor may directly provide the power acting as the activatable power generating component.
A data repeater composed of a receiver and transmitter that receives the data from the transmitter(s) of claim 1 and transmits it to the receiver system of claim 20 further including the ability to transmit that data using any available wired or wireless networking and communications technologies.
The data repeater of claim 18 wherein a computer with control program, data storage device and software is included which is capable of storing, processing, and manipulating received data until it can be transmitted to the receiver system of claim 20.
