1. A computer-implemented method of providing event-driven notifications, the method comprising:
- obtaining, at one or more computers, data listing one or more events that, when detected by one or more sensors at a first property, trigger a notification report;
obtaining, at one or more computers, data listing one or more remote devices that are associated with at least a second property, and to which the notification report will be transmitted;
obtaining, at one or more computers, one or more notification rules describing content of the notification report and conditions for transmitting the notification report, wherein at least one of the notification rules is learned based on property event data that is generated by one or more third properties;
receiving, at one or more computers, event data that is generated by, or based on information generated by, the one or more sensors, wherein the event data is indicative of a condition monitored by the one or more sensors;
determining, at one or more computers, whether the received event data corresponds to the one or more of the events which trigger the notification report;
generating, at one or more computers, the notification report based on the received event data and the one or more notification rules; and
transmitting, using one or more computers, at least a portion of the notification report to the one or more remote devices associated with at least the second property.

Abstract
In a computer-implemented method of generating event notifications, in-home data is received. The in-home data and environment data (e.g., weather, law enforcement, etc.) is generated by, or based on information generated by, a device located at a residence of an individual, and is analyzed to determine whether it is indicative of an event that should be reported to one or more neighboring residences and/or businesses. If the data is indicative of such an event, a notification is generated and transmitted to the relevant residences and/or businesses.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more processors of a system and comprising computer-readable instructions for providing event-driven data notifications, the instructions, when executed the by one or more processors, cause the system to:
-
obtain data listing one or more events that when detected by one or more sensors at a first property, trigger a notification report; obtain data listing one or more remote devices that are associated with at least a second property, and to which the notification report will be transmitted; obtain one or more notification rules describing content of the notification report and conditions for transmitting the notification report, wherein at least one of the notification rules is learned based on property event data that is generated by one or more third properties; receive event data that is generated by, or based on information generated by, the one or more sensors, wherein the event data is indicative of a condition monitored by the one or more sensors; determine whether the received event data corresponds to the one or more of the events which trigger the notification report; generate the notification report based on the received event data and the one or more notification rules; and transmit at least a portion of the notification report to the one or more remote devices associated with at least the second property. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A device operative to provide event-driven notifications, the device comprising:
-
one or more processors; a memory unit coupled to the one or more processors and storing executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the device to; obtain data listing one or more events that when detected by one or more sensors at a first property trigger a notification report; obtain data listing one or more remote devices, associated with at least a second property, to which the notification report will be transmitted; obtain one or more notification rules describing content of the notification report and conditions for transmitting the notification report, wherein at least one of the notification rules is learned based on property event data that is generated by one or more third properties; receive event data that is generated by, or based on information generated by, the one or more sensors, wherein the event data is indicative of a condition monitored by the one or more sensors; determine whether the received event data corresponds to the one or more of the events which trigger the notification report; generate the notification report based on the received event data and the one or more notification rules; and transmit at least a portion of the notification report to the one or more remote devices associated with at least the second property. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
