Electronic vaporizing device with security monitoring functionality

A method for operating dual mode electronic vaporizing/security monitoring device having a vaping mode and a securing monitoring mode, wherein the electronic vaporizing/security monitoring device comprises (a) a vaporizing component operable to vaporize a plurality of materials received therein and expel a generated vapor from the vaporizing component, at least one power source operatively coupled to the vaporizing component, and (b) a security monitoring component operable to monitor at least one security state associated with at least the electronic vaporizing device, the method comprising the steps of:

• receiving a command to activate a security monitoring mode;
• activating the security monitoring component in response to the received command to activate the security monitoring mode capturing a plurality of security data;
• determining, based on at least a portion of the plurality of security data, at least one security threat;
• and
• generating a plurality of threat status data therefrom.

A system for operating an electronic vaporizing device in conjunction with a security monitoring device, the system comprising:

• an electronic vaporizing device comprising:
• a first processor operable for controlling the electronic vaporizing device,
• at least one container configured to store a vaporizable material,
• a vaporizing component operatively coupled to the first processor and controlled in part by the first processor, wherein the vaporizing component is in fluid communication with the at least one container for receiving at least a portion of the vaporizable material therefrom, wherein the vaporizing component is operable to vaporize the vaporizable material received therein,
• at least one vapor outlet coupled to the vaporizing component and configured to receive a vapor generated by the vaporizing component, the at least one vapor outlet operable to expel the generated vapor from the vaporizing device,
• at least one vaporizing power source operatively coupled to the vaporizing component, wherein the at least one vaporizing power source is operable to generate a supply of power for operation of the vaporizing component, and
• an input/output device operatively coupled to the first processor and operable to exchange data between the first processor and a security monitoring device;
• and
• a security monitoring device, comprising:
• a security monitoring device processor operable for controlling the security monitoring device,
• at least one data capture component operatively connected to the security monitoring device, wherein the at least one data capture component is operable to capture a plurality of security data associated with at least one of:
• the electronic vaporizing device, an environment proximate to the electronic vaporizing device, and combinations thereof,
• a security threat analysis component, operatively coupled to the security monitoring device processor and controlled in part by the security monitoring device processor, wherein the security threat analysis component is operable to (a) receive at least a portion of the plurality of captured security data from the at least one data capture component,(b) determine, based on at least a portion of the plurality of captured security data, at least one vaporizer security threat, and (c) generate a plurality of vaporizer threat status data therefrom, and
• an input/output port operatively coupled to the device processor of the electronic vaporizing device and configured to transmit at least a portion of the plurality of generated threat status data to the device processor for further processing thereof.
