The embodiments can include initiating a signal from a location within the large, enclosed structure triggered by, for example, atmospheric conditions or user input, among other triggering mechanisms. The signal can then be transmitted via low-energy, low-cost network devices placed efficiently throughout the building. Devices within the network read the message signal and efficiently continue its transmission through the network. When received by a display device, the message can be identified by its originating location and mapped against a layout of the building. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for communicating an event in an enclosed building, the method comprising: detecting, via at least one mobile sensor, a condition at a location; evaluating, via at least one microprocessor, the condition; transmitting, via at least one network adapter, a signal based on the evaluation; receiving, via an endpoint device, the signal; and identifying, via the at least one microprocessor, the location of the condition. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method as recited in claim 1, wherein detecting comprises detecting a pressure exerted by a user on a device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method as recited in claim 1, wherein detecting comprises sensing one of humidity, temperature, sound, and an expiration of a time period. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the at least one network adapter comprises a mesh network of BLUETOOTH-enabled adapters. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising transmitting, via the at least one network adapter, the identification of the location to a third party. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising tracking, via the at least one microprocessor, an updated location of the event based on an additional signal. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising displaying, via at least one display adapter, the location based on a floor plan. ### Claim 8 A device for communicating an event in an enclosed building, the device comprising: at least one sensor to detect a condition at a location within the enclosed building; at least one alert device; at least one network node; and a network gateway. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The device as recited in claim 8, wherein the condition is a pressure exerted by a user on a mobile device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The device as recited in claim 8, wherein the condition is one of humidity, temperature, sound, and an expiration of a time period. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The device as recited in claim 8, wherein the at least one network node comprises low-energy BLUETOOTH-enabled adapters for signal transmission. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The device as recited in claim 8, further comprising an endpoint device to receive a communication of the event. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The device as recited in claim 12, wherein the endpoint device is further operable to track an updated location of the event based on an additional signal. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The device as recited in claim 8, further comprising a display of the location based on a floor plan. ### Claim 15 A system for locating an electronic signal in an enclosed building, the system comprising: a plurality of internal network devices to transmit the electronic signal within the enclosed building; at least one external network device to transmit the electronic signal outside the enclosed building; and at least one screen to display the location of the electronic signal based on a floor plan. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The system as recited in claim 15, further comprising a portable device to emit the electronic signal when triggered. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The system as recited in claim 16, wherein the portable device comprises at least one sensor operable to detect a condition to trigger an emission of the electronic signal. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The system as recited in claim 15, wherein a power source of the system is independent of a power source of the enclosed building. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The system as recited in claim 15, wherein the display of the location is updated substantially synchronously with receipt of additional electronic signals. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The system as recited in claim 15, further comprising a map importation module to convert raw floor plan information to be used by the system.
