First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for remotely configuring a moisture monitoring sensor, comprising:
- transmitting from a Web server to a gateway first information indicative of a configuration change;
establishing under control of the sensor a temporary digital communication link between the sensor and the gateway;
transmitting from the gateway to the sensor via the digital communication link second information indicative of the configuration change; and
implementing the configuration change on the sensor based on the second information.

Abstract
Remote configuration of a sensor for monitoring the structural integrity of a building involves the sensor, a gateway and a Web server. The gateway transmits configuration changes to the sensor over digital communication links established between the sensor and the gateway for interrogation of structural integrity information. Configuration changes are prompted by a human network administrator remote from the gateway and sensor using a standard Web browser. At the behest of the human network administrator, the Web server instructs the gateway to make specified changes to the sensor.

15. A gateway for facilitating remote configuration of a moisture monitoring sensor, comprising:
-
a wireline element communicatively coupled with a Web server;
a processing element communicatively coupled with the wireline element and having a memory; and
a radio element communicatively coupled with the processing element;
wherein first information indicative of a configuration change is received by the wireline element from the Web server and stored in the memory by the processing element, and wherein under control of the sensor a temporary digital communication link is established with the sensor over which second information indicative of the configuration change is transmitted by the radio element to the sensor. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
