Method and apparatus for intelligent and automatic alert management using multimedia database system
First Claim
1. A method of generating at least one alert message, the method comprising the steps of:
- processing sensor data captured by one or more sensors; and
automatically generating at least one alert message based on information obtained using at least a portion of the processed data and pertaining to a continual activity of at least one of one or more objects and one or more persons and to an associated previous activity of at least one of the same objects, the same persons, different objects and different persons.

Abstract
Techniques for intelligent and automatic alert management. Such techniques may be realized in conjunction with a multimedia database system, such that interesting and important multimedia data associated with real time events may be captured, and alerts generated based on the captured data. In one aspect of the invention, a technique for generating at least one alert message may include the following steps/operations. Sensor data captured by one or more sensors is processed. Then, at least one alert message is automatically generated based on information obtained using at least a portion of the processed data and pertaining to a continual activity of one or more objects and/or one or more persons and to an associated previous activity of the same or different objects and/or persons. The at least one alert message may also be generated based on a varying degree of complexity of activity. The one or more sensors may be associated with a multimedia database system.
