Abstract
Door alarm systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed. A door alarm system may monitor a door of a refrigeration device and detect a failed attempt at closing the door. In response to detecting the failed attempt, the door alarm system may generate a notification of the detected, failed attempt so that remedial action may be taken.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A method, comprising:
- receiving, with a controller from one or more sensors, signals indicative of movement of a door;
- detecting, with the controller based on the signals indicative of movement of the door, an attempt to close the door;
- after detecting the attempt to close the door, determining, with the controller based on the signals indicative of movement of the door, whether the attempt failed to close the door;
- and
- in response to determining that the attempt failed to close the door, generating with the controller, a notification that indicates that the door failed to close.
2 more elements
A system, comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to generate signals indicative of movement of a door;
- and
- a controller coupled to the one or more sensors, the controller configured to:
- detect, based on the signals indicative of movement of the door, an attempt to close the door;
- after detecting the attempt to close the door, determine, based on the signals indicative of movement of the door, whether the attempt failed to close the door;
- and
- in response to determining that the attempt failed to close the door, generate a notification that indicates that the door failed to close.
4 more elements
A controller for a door alarm system having one or more sensors that generate signals indicative of movement of a door, the controller comprising:
- one or more ports configured to receive the signals from the one or more sensors;
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- a processor executing the instructions stored in the memory, where execution of the instructions causes the processor to at least:
- detect, based on the signals indicative of movement of the door, an attempt to close the door;
- after detecting the attempt to close the door, determine, based on the signals indicative of movement of the door, whether the attempt failed to close the door;
- and
- in response to determining that the attempt failed to close the door, generate a notification that indicates that the door failed to close.
