Remote sensor with voice locator message
First Claim
1. A remote sensor device comprising:
- a sensor module adapted to sense one or more event types;
a storage module adapted to store a voice message including a deployment location description of the device; and
a transmitter adapted to wirelessly transmit the voice message in response to the sensor being triggered.

Abstract
Techniques that provide relatively low cost and complexity remote sensing capability are disclosed. The sensors can be easily deployed and monitored by a single operator, with minimal opportunity for human error, and without the need for a visual display. During deployment, the sensor is adapted to record a message including a verbal description of the location. Other useful information, such as the operator'"'"'s name and sensor type may also be included. The voice locator message is transmitted in response to the sensor triggering, thereby allowing the operator to hear the location of the triggered sensor. Additional device functionality may include sensor signal analysis (e.g., confidence testing) and a power conservation. The devices have numerous applications (e.g., military and SWAT operations), and can be adapted to detect intrusion, perimeter breach, movement, vehicles, and other detectable events.

14. A method for remotely sensing an event, the method comprising:
-
in response to no sensor being triggered, continuing monitoring for at least a set period of time; and
in response to determining that a sensor has been triggered, transmitting a recorded message including a verbal description of the sensor location. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for remotely sensing an event with a sensor configured with a voice locator message, the method comprising:
-
identifying a location to be monitored;
enabling a sensor voice recording session; and
announcing at least one of operator name and sensor location, thereby creating a recorded voice message for transmission when the sensor triggers. - View Dependent Claims (20)
