Environmental monitoring device with event-driven service
First Claim
1. An environmental monitoring device, comprising:
- a sensor configured to provide sensor data for an external environment that includes the environmental monitoring device, wherein the sensor data represents an environmental condition in the external environment;
an interface circuit configured to communicate with one or more electronic devices, wherein the one or more electronic devices include an electronic device of an entity that is associated with the external environment; and
a control circuit, coupled to the sensor and the interface circuit, configured to;
receiving a user instruction to opt-in to a per-event service plan;
determine, based at least in part on the sensor data, an alert associated with one of;
the environmental condition, and the external environment;
provide, via the interface circuit, a dynamic service offer for the electronic device based at least in part on the alert, wherein the service offer is for a service and the service offer includes information associated with the environmental condition;
receive, via the interface circuit, a response to the service offer associated with the electronic device, wherein the response authorizes the service based at least in part on the environmental condition; and
performing the service based at least in part on the response.

Abstract
A sensor mechanism in an environmental monitoring device provides sensor data that represents an environmental condition in an external environment that includes the environmental monitoring device. Then, a control mechanism in the environmental monitoring device determines, based on the sensor data, an alert associated with the environmental condition and/or the external environment. Moreover, an interface circuit in the environmental monitoring device provides, based on the alert, a service offer to an electronic device of an entity (such as a user or an owner of the environmental monitoring device, a tenant, a property owner and/or a property manager), where the service offer includes information associated with the environmental condition. Next, the environmental monitoring device receives, via the interface circuit, a response to the service offer from the electronic device, where the response authorizes a service based on the environmental condition. Based on the response, the environmental monitoring device performs the service.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for use in conjunction with an environmental monitoring device, the computer-readable storage medium storing a program module, wherein, when executed by the environmental monitoring device, the program module causes the environmental monitoring device to perform a service by performing one or more operations comprising:
-
receiving a user instruction to opt-in to a per-event service plan; determining, based at least in part on sensor data provided by a sensor in the environmental monitoring device that represents an environmental condition in the external environment, an alert associated with one of;
the environmental condition, and the external environment;providing, via an interface circuit in the environmental monitoring device, a dynamic service offer based at least in part on the alert for an electronic device of an entity that is associated with the external environment, wherein the service offer is for a service and the service offer includes information associated with the environmental condition; receiving, via the interface circuit, a response to the service offer associated with the electronic device, wherein the response authorizes the service based at least in part on the environmental condition; and performing the service based at least in part on the response. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for performing a service, wherein the method comprises:
-
by an environmental-monitoring-device; receiving a user instruction to opt-in to a per-event service plan; determining, based at least in part on sensor data provided by a sensor in the environmental monitoring device that represents an environmental condition in the external environment, an alert associated with one of;
the environmental condition, and the external environment;providing, via an interface circuit in the environmental monitoring device, a dynamic service offer based at least in part on the alert for an electronic device of an entity that is associated with the external environment, wherein the service offer is for a service and the service offer includes information associated with the environmental condition; receiving, via the interface circuit, a response to the service offer associated with the electronic device, wherein the response authorizes the service based at least in part on the environmental condition; and performing the service based at least in part on the response.
