Abstract
A system for remote volumetric sensing, reporting, analysis, and alerting utilizing linear distance sensing, an electronic messaging communications protocol, a digital data transmission protocol, an automated data message reading and distribution system, an interactive web site user interface for both accessing user data and reviewing, remotely administering and configuring an automated remote sensor analysis and reporting system with integrated monitoring and alerting functions.
Claims40
A low power remote consumption volumetric sensing and reporting system comprising:
- at least one linear sensing device with an electronic output;
- a battery source of voltage electrically connected to said linear sensing device;
- a microcontroller for processing said electrical output from said linear sensing device;
- a non volatile memory connected to said microcontroller for storing settings and sensor readings
- a low power WiFi connection device connected to said microcontroller for intermittently transmitting the analyzed linear sensed data wherein each WiFi sensor has a unique identification number;
- a storage receptacle for receiving and storing material having an input area for receiving material, said storage receptacle defining an area for containment of material input into said storage receptacle;
- wherein said linear sensing device is connected to a top of said storage receptacle and wherein said linear sensing device measures a linear distance between a top of said material in said storage receptacle and said top of said storage receptacle;
- a WiFi access point for intermittently connecting to said low power WiFi connection device for receiving said analyzed linear sensed data;
- a server electronically connected to said WiFi access point for receiving said analyzed linear sensed data;
- a post office computer program application running on said server that automatically receives said analyzed linear sensed data and stores said sensed data on said server for additional processing;
- and
- an interactive interface electrically connected to said server for selecting, analyzing and displaying said analyzed linear sensed data in a user defined graphical interactive format.
