LEARNING ALARMS FOR NUISANCE AND FALSE ALARM REDUCTION
First Claim
1. A learning alarm, comprising:
- a sensor operatively connected to a processor to detect environmental parameters;
an alarm operatively connected to the processor to provide an alert if the environmental parameters are outside an acceptable range;
a user interface operatively connected to the processor to accept user input indicating an alert corresponds to a nuisance condition; and
a memory operatively connected to the processor for storing detected environmental properties corresponding to the nuisance condition,wherein the processor is configured to suppress alerts from the alarm based on detected environmental properties corresponding to the environmental properties of the nuisance condition stored in the memory.

Abstract
A learning alarm includes a sensor operatively connected to a processor to detect environmental properties and an alarm operatively connected to the processor to provide an alert if the environmental properties are outside an acceptable range. A user interface is operatively connected to the processor to accept user input indicating an alert corresponds to a nuisance condition. A memory is also operatively connected to the processor for storing detected environmental properties corresponding to the nuisance condition. The processor is configured to suppress alerts from the alarm based on detected environmental properties corresponding to the environmental properties of the nuisance condition stored in the memory.

6. A learning alarm system, comprising:
-
a processor operatively connected to at least two alarm units, each alarm unit including a sensor to detect environmental properties; an alarm operatively connected to the processor to provide an alert if the environmental properties are outside an acceptable range; a user interface operatively connected to the processor to accept user input indicating an alert corresponds to a nuisance condition; and a memory operatively connected to the processor for storing detected environmental properties corresponding to the nuisance condition detected from each alarm, wherein the processor is configured to suppress alerts from the alarm based on detected gas properties corresponding to the gas properties of the nuisance condition stored in the memory. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method of suppressing nuisance alarms, comprising:
-
detecting a condition; comparing the condition with at least one nuisance condition stored in memory; providing an alert if the condition is outside an acceptable range and if the condition does not correspond to a nuisance condition; and suppressing an alert if the condition corresponds to a nuisance condition. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
