Web based smart sensor network tracking and monitoring system
First Claim
1. A Smart Sensor system comprising:
- at least one sensor operable to measure one or more physical quantities wherein each sensor includes a wireless communication stack operable to wirelessly communicate the one or more physical quantities measured by the at least one sensor; and
a coordinator operable to receive and store the one or more physical quantities measured by the at least one sensor and to convert, in response to receiving a request from a user, the one or more physical quantities measured by the at least one sensor to a HTML web page;
wherein the coordinator includes a web server with a common gateway interface function operable to process common gateway interface scripts so as to dynamically access the one or more physical quantities measured by the at least one sensor; and
wherein the user is remote from the at least one sensor.

Abstract
A wireless sensor network including a plurality of Smart Sensors coupled to a wide area network such as the Internet via a Wireless Sensor Coordinator. Each wireless sensor network comprises a plurality of Smart Sensors, each operable to measure one or more physical quantities. Each wireless sensor communicates the measured data to a Wireless Sensor Coordinator which then stores the collected data in memory. The Wireless Sensor Coordinator further includes a web server operable to post a web site on a network that is accessible by a common web browser. Upon receiving a request for sensed data via the web site, the Wireless Sensor Coordinator retrieves the appropriate measured and stored data and converts it into HTML format pages which are then posted on the web site for review by the requestor.

14. A method for dynamically accessing wireless sensor data, the method comprising:
-
accessing a web site of a wireless sensor network coordinator via a web browser; requesting a physical quantity measured by a wireless sensor, the wireless sensor being part of a wireless sensor network, the wireless sensor network and the wireless sensor being associated with the wireless sensor network coordinator; at the Wireless Sensor Coordinator, accessing the requested physical quantity measured by the wireless sensor; converting in response to a request of a user the physical quantity measured by the wireless sensor to a HTML format physical quantity; and communicating the HTML format physical quantity to the web browser; wherein converting includes processing a common gateway interface script in a web server embedded in the wireless sensor network coordinator; and wherein the user is remote from the wireless sensor network. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
