MONITORING OF RESOURCE CONSUMPTION PATTERNS IN AN AUTOMATED ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- identifying, by a monitoring device in an automated environment, a pattern of resource consumption for the automated environment, the pattern including a correlation between resource consumption data from one or more environment-level resource consumption sensors in the automated environment and user routine data indicative of an established routine for one or more users who frequent the automated environment;
detecting, by the monitoring device, an anomaly in a resource consumption behavior of the automated environment, wherein the anomaly includes a consumption deviation of an observed resource consumption from the pattern of resource consumption in the automated environment, wherein the consumption deviation is not correlated with a user deviation from the established routine; and
notifying at least one of the one or more users of the anomaly.

Abstract
An automated environment can monitor its resource consumption at the environment level and detect anomalies. Resource consumption can be monitored using a sparse set of sensors that provide information about the total resource consumption of the automated environment. The sensor data can be analyzed together with information about a behavioral routine of users in the automated environment to define a baseline resource consumption pattern. Once a baseline resource consumption pattern is established, anomalies in resource consumption can be detected and reported to users.

19. An electronic device comprising:
-
a communication interface to communicate with one or more sensors in an automated environment; and a processor coupled to the communication interface and configured to; identify a pattern of resource consumption for the automated environment, the pattern including a correlation between resource consumption data from the one or more sensors in the automated environment and user routine data indicative of an established routine for one or more users who frequent the automated environment; detect an anomaly in a resource consumption behavior of the automated environment, wherein the anomaly includes a consumption deviation of an observed resource consumption from the pattern of resource consumption in the automated environment, wherein the consumption deviation is not correlated with a user deviation from the established routine; and notify at least one of the one or more users of the anomaly.
