Regional Control System With Manual Override
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a regional control system coupled via a wireless or a wired medium to a plurality of sensors and actuators;
a data base coupled to the control system wherein one or more of discernable events, regional history event sequences, or, behavior patterns can be stored therein and are accessible to the control system wherein the control system, in response to detecting a variation between a stored item, and a corresponding current item, can wirelessly, at least in part, transmit an advisory message to a displaced location, and responsive thereto, an activity altering communication can be sent to the control system.

Abstract
A regional monitoring system can establish and store patterns of signals from sensors, or patterns of signals coupled to actuators. Incoming patterns can be compared to pre-stored patterns, and in the presence of disparities therebetween, a message can be sent wirelessly to a displaced individual associated with the region indicative of the disparity. The individual can override a pre-established action associated with one of the pre-stored patterns. Monitoring systems can include security monitoring systems, fire safety monitoring systems or HVAC-type systems.

10. A method comprising:
-
providing a data base which includes a plurality of pre-stored patterns associated with a particular region being monitored; responding to received signals which correspond to a current pattern of an event and creating a corresponding pattern indicative thereof; and comparing the corresponding pattern to at least one pre-stored pattern, and where a variance is detected, communicating with a displaced communications unit and forwarding thereto an alert indicating the existence of the variance, and providing an opportunity to receive, from that communications unit, at least one instruction accepting or rejecting a pre-established output based on the pre-stored pattern. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system comprising:
-
a data base which includes a plurality of pre-stored patterns associated with a region being monitored; a control unit which can receive signals from a region of interest which corresponds to a current pattern of an event in the region and can create a pattern indicative thereof; and circuitry to compare the correspond pattern to at least one pre-stored pattern, and where a variance is detected, circuitry communicating with a displaced communication unit and forwarding thereto an alert indicating the existence of the variance, and providing an opportunity to receive, from that communications unit, at least one instruction accepting or rejecting a pre-established output based on the pre-stored pattern. - View Dependent Claims (16)
