Abstract
An example method is provided. The example method includes detecting an ethanol vapor concentration that is above a threshold and detecting a user device that is within a threshold distance from the ethanol sensor device. Based on detecting that the ethanol vapor concentration is above the threshold and based on detecting the user device is within the threshold distance, an ethanol sensor device transmits an indication that the ethanol vapor concentration is above the threshold. The indication causes a trigger that initiates an action by the user device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting, by an ethanol sensor device, an ethanol vapor concentration that is above a threshold;
- detecting, by the ethanol sensor device, a user device that is within a threshold distance from the ethanol sensor device;
- and
- based on detecting that the ethanol vapor concentration is above the threshold and based on detecting the user device is within the threshold distance, transmitting, by the ethanol sensor device, an indication that the ethanol vapor concentration is above the threshold, wherein the indication causes a trigger that initiates an action by the user device.
A method comprising:
- transmitting, by a user device, a user device identifier for the user device to an ethanol sensor device or to a server associated with the ethanol sensor device;
- receiving, from the server, a trigger based on the ethanol sensor device detecting that an ethanol vapor concentration is above a threshold, wherein the trigger is received from the server based on the user device being within a threshold distance from the ethanol sensor device;
- and
- based on receiving the trigger, automatically initiating an action by the user device.
One or more non-transitory computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, that when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more servers, an indication from an ethanol sensor device that an ethanol vapor concentration is above an ethanol vapor concentration threshold;
- receiving, by the one or more servers, a user device identifier for a user device;
- and
- based receiving the user device identifier and the indication that the ethanol vapor concentration is above the ethanol vapor concentration threshold, transmitting, by the one or more servers, a trigger to the user device, wherein the trigger automatically initiates an action by the user device.
