Abstract

A wireless monitoring method is implemented through a plurality of wireless monitor devices. Each of the plurality of wireless monitor devices includes a state detection unit to produce a state data, a micro control unit and a communication module. To implement the wireless monitoring method, the wireless monitoring device gets a device identification code of another wireless monitoring device in a connection range thereof, and judges whether the device identification code is stored therein and belongs to a monitor group. If the judging outcome is positive, the wireless monitoring device gets another state data of the another wireless monitoring device. After judging the state data and the another state data meet a state control condition, at least one control signal is output to trigger at least one electronic device.

Claims

1. A wireless monitoring method, comprising the steps of:

Step 1;

providing a first wireless monitoring device and at least two second wireless monitoring devices to detect ambient states and output first state data and second state data respectively, each of the at least two second wireless monitoring devices including a device identification code;

Step 2;

registering at least two device identification codes of the second wireless monitoring devices in the first wireless monitoring device, and setting the first wireless monitoring device and the second wireless monitoring device whose device identification code has been registered as a monitor group;

Step 3;

setting a state monitor condition in the first wireless monitoring device and outputting at least one control signal when the state monitor condition is met;

Step 4;

using the first wireless monitoring device to detect the at least two second wireless monitoring devices within a connection range and judging whether the device identification codes of the at least two second wireless monitoring devices are registered in the first wireless monitoring device to belong to the monitor group, and letting the first wireless monitoring device receive the second state data output from the second wireless monitoring devices when the judging outcome is positive; and

Step 5;

using the first wireless monitoring device to judge whether the first state data and the second state data meet the state monitor condition, and letting the first wireless monitoring device output the at least one control signal to trigger at least one electronic device when the state monitor condition is met.

2. The wireless monitoring method of claim 1, wherein the step 4 further includes sub-steps of:

sending information connection requests by the first wireless monitoring device to the at least two second wireless monitoring devices;

getting the device identification codes and connection address codes of the at least two second wireless monitoring devices by the first wireless monitoring device when the at least two second wireless monitoring devices respond the information connection requests; and

judging whether the device identification codes of the at least two second wireless monitoring devices are registered in the first wireless monitoring device to belong to the monitor group, and letting the first wireless monitoring device connect with the second wireless monitoring devices through the connection address codes when the judging outcome is positive.
