An example system includes a sensory node which gathers sensor data including occupancy data. The system uses the sensory node to gather and process condition data to establish normal behavioral characteristics of the data. Threshold levels are determined from this processing. An alert is transmitted when conditions are detected that fall outside those threshold levels. The alert includes information regarding the detected conditions, occupancy information, and structure data. An example system includes a portable device that receives the alert along with the information provided with the alert and uses that information to alert a user and provide a display that provides alert and occupancy data such that occupants of the structure can be located and provided with assistance if required. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for assisting rescuers to locate persons at risk in a structure, the system comprising: a sensory node comprising a processor, a data transmitter, at least one condition sensor, and at least one occupancy sensor; a remote computing device comprising a data receiver, a second processor, and an alert transmitter; at least one portable computing device comprising an alert receiver, a third processor, and a user interface; software that when executed by a first processor: causes the at least one condition sensor to receive plurality of condition data values; causes the occupancy sensor to receive occupancy data; causes the data transmitter to transmit at least one condition data value and occupancy data; software that when executed by the second processor causes the second processor to: determine a condition data threshold value; determine an expected condition data value for a certain period of time; determine a factor value indicating the difference between a condition data value and the expect condition value for the certain period of time; receive condition data values from the data transmitter; transmit an alert as the result of receiving a condition data value that exceeds the condition data threshold value, the alert comprising a location associated with the received condition data value and received occupancy data; software that when executed by the third processor, causes the third processor to: receive the alert from the alert transmitter; and display on the user interface, a notification of the alert, the location associated with the received condition value and the occupancy data. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, where the first and second processor are the same processor. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, where the portable computing device receives structure layout data, the user interface comprises a representation of the structure derived from the layout data, and the display also comprising an indicator that represents the location associated with the received condition data and a representation of occupancy derived from the occupancy data. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, where the occupancy sensor comprises one of a video camera or a still camera and software instructions that when executed by one of the first processor, the second processor, or the third processor, detect occupancy by analyzing one of a received video or a still image. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system of claim 4, wherein a type of occupant is determined by analyzing the received video or still image. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The system of claim 5, wherein the displayed occupancy data comprises the determined type of occupant. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, where the occupancy sensor comprises an audio detector and comprises software instructions that when executed by one of the first processor or second processor, analyzes sound data from the audio detector to detect occupancy. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the sound data is analyzed to determine a type of occupant detected. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein the occupancy detector uses a plurality of different sensor types to determine whether the occupant is alive or dead and the alive or dead status of the occupant is displayed on the user interface. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein a level of risk associated with the alert is determined using the factor value and the level of risk is displayed on the user interface. ### Claim 11 A method of assisting rescuers to locate persons at risk in a structure, the method comprising: receiving at a sensory node, a plurality of condition data values from at least one condition sensor located at a first location in the structure; receiving at the sensory node, occupancy data from an occupancy sensor, the occupancy sensor located at a second location in the structure; transmitting by the sensory node, at least one condition data value and the occupancy data; determining a condition data threshold value; determining an expected condition data value for a certain period of time; receiving the at least one condition value and occupancy data by a remote computing device; determining a factor value representing a difference between the condition data value and the expect condition value for the certain period of time; transmitting an alert by the remote computing device as the result of the remote computing device receiving a condition data value that exceeds the condition data threshold value, the alert comprising a location associated with the received condition data value and received occupancy data; receiving, by a portable computing device, the alert; and displaying on a user interface of the portable computing device, a notification of the alert, the location associated with the received condition value and the occupancy data. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, where the first location and the second location are the same. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, where the sensory node and the remote computing device are the same device. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, where the portable computing device receives structure layout data and the step of displaying on the user interface further comprises displaying a representation of the structure and an indicator that represents the location associated with the received condition and a representation of occupancy derived from the occupancy data. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, where the occupancy sensor comprises one of a video camera or a still camera and occupancy is detected by analyzing one of a received video or a still image. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, where a type of occupancy is detected by analyzing the received video or the still image. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, where the displayed occupancy data comprises the determined type of occupant. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein a level of risk associated with the alert is determined using the factor value and the level of risk is displayed on the user interface. ### Claim 19 A device for assisting rescuers to locate persons at risk in a structure, the system comprising: a receiver; a processor; a user interface; and software, that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to: receive using the receiver an alert that indicates that a condition value exceeds a condition data threshold; receive occupancy data using the receiver; receive structure layout; display, using the user interface, a representation of the structure layout, an alert positioned on the representation of the structure layout such that the location from which the condition value was measured, and an indication of occupancy represented by an indicator positioned on the representation of the structure layout. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The device of claim 19, further comprising software instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the receiver to receive a factor value representing a difference between a condition value and an expected condition value and cause an indication that represents the factor value to be displayed on the user interface.
