Abstract
A sensor network may be coupled to a cloud computing system for improved reliability, flexibility, and functionality. The sensor network may communicate with the cloud computing system through a coordinator gateway device through a wireless network. Data recording and data processing is offloaded from the individual sensors to the cloud computing system, which has significantly better reliability and processing capability and is not restricted by battery life. The recorded and processed data residing on the cloud computing system may be viewed, manipulated and modified through a client device displaying an application, web page, and/or application program interface (API).
