Patent Images
1. A system for maintaining a sensor network, comprising:
- the sensor network comprising at least one sensor;
a base station adapted to receive data from the sensor network;
the at least one sensor being adapted to communicate data to the base station;
a fault-detection system adapted to analyze data from the at least one sensor and determine an operating state of the at least one sensor, wherein the fault-detection system is located in the base station or on a remote computing resource; and
a decision engine embedded in the base station or on the remote computing source, the decision engine being adapted to activate a sensor attention indicator based on an output from the fault-detection system indicative of an operating state of the at least one sensor.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system and method of a health monitoring network which automates detection of faulty or failed sensors using real-time fault checking on a dynamically registered sensor data stream. The monitoring system and sensor network can provide a one-touch system to notify users when a sensor requires attention, without prior knowledge of the operational characteristics, installation method or configuration of sensors in the network. The network uses a decision engine to assist in maintenance according to a profile based on individual preferences and capabilities.
