Display of information related to data collected via wireless network sensors
First Claim
1. A method for displaying an indication of data collected via a wireless network sensor, comprising:
- receiving data from a wireless network sensor havinga plurality of sensors for generating signals relating to ambient conditions proximate the sensors,a processor for receiving and processing data from the sensors, anda wireless transmitter for wirelessly transmitting data;
parsing events based upon a change in the signals indicating a corresponding change in the ambient conditions proximate the corresponding sensors;
parsing episodes based upon the parsed events, wherein the parsed episodes are determined to occur when at least two parsed events occur at adjacent sensors in the wireless network sensor within a particular time frame; and
displaying an indication of the parsed episodes.

Abstract
A method for displaying an indication of data collected via a wireless network sensor involves processing the collected data to generate reports. The wireless network sensor includes a plurality of sensors for detecting events occurring proximate the sensors, a processor for receiving and processing data from the sensors, and a wireless transmitter for wirelessly transmitting data. The method displays an indication of parsed events, episodes, vectors, links, and paths based upon the received data. Another method displays a representation of a location of each sensor in the wireless network sensors in a monitored environment and information related to data collected via the sensors.
