Method and system for protective distribution system (PDS) and infrastructure protection and management
First Claim
1. A method for managing a protective distribution system, comprising:
- monitoring a fiber optic information transmission line;
detecting, via one or more sensors, a disturbance on the fiber optic information transmission line, wherein the detected disturbance does not exceed a first preset threshold for triggering alerts of a first alert type based on detected disturbances, and wherein the one or more sensors comprise at least one of a vibration sensor, a frequency sensor, an acoustic sensor, and reflective sensor;
determining, responsive to the detection via the one or more sensors, a count for the number of disturbances within a preset time period that do not exceed the first preset threshold;
determining whether the count, for the number of disturbances that do not exceed the first preset threshold, exceeds a second preset threshold for triggering alerts of the first alert type, wherein the second preset threshold corresponds to a preset number of allowable disturbances, not exceeding the first preset threshold and within the preset time period, before one or more alerts of the first alert type are to be triggered; and
triggering an alert of the first alert type responsive to a determination that the count exceeds the second preset threshold.

Abstract
A method and system for managing a protective distribution system is disclosed. In some embodiments, an information transmission line may be monitored. A disturbance on the information transmission line may be detected. The detected disturbance may not exceed a first preset threshold for triggering alerts of a first alert type based on detected disturbances. Responsive to the detection, a count for the number of disturbances within a preset time period that do not exceed the first preset threshold may be determined. A determination of whether the count, for the number of disturbances that do not exceed the first preset threshold, exceeds a second preset threshold may be effectuated. The second preset threshold may correspond to a preset number of allowable disturbances within the preset time period. An alert of the first alert type may be triggered responsive to a determination that the count exceeds the second preset threshold.

12. A system for managing a protective distribution system, comprising:
a computer system comprises one or more processors programmed to execute computer program instructions which, when executed, cause the computer system to; monitor a fiber optic information transmission line; detect, via one or more sensors, a disturbance on the fiber optic information transmission line, wherein the detected disturbance does not exceed a first preset threshold for triggering alerts of a first alert type based on detected disturbances, and wherein the one or more sensors comprise at least one of a vibration sensor, a frequency sensor, an acoustic sensor, and reflective sensor; determine, responsive to the detection via the one or more sensors, a count for the number of disturbances within a preset time period that do not exceed the first preset threshold; determine whether the count, for the number of disturbances that do not exceed the first preset threshold, exceeds a second preset threshold for triggering alerts of the first alert type, wherein the second preset threshold corresponds to a preset number of allowable disturbances, not exceeding the first preset threshold and within the preset time period, before one or more alerts of the first alert type are to be triggered; and trigger an alert of the first alert type responsive to a determination that the count exceeds the second preset threshold. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing computer instructions therein, the computer-readable medium comprising a set of instructions which when executed causes a processor to perform a method for managing a protective distribution system, the method comprising:
-
monitoring a fiber optic information transmission line; detecting, via one or more sensors, a disturbance on the fiber optic information transmission line, wherein the detected disturbance does not exceed a first preset threshold for triggering alerts of a first alert type based on detected disturbances, and wherein the one or more sensors comprise at least one of a vibration sensor, a frequency sensor, an acoustic sensor, and reflective sensor; determining, responsive to the detection via the one or more sensors, a count for the number of disturbances within a preset time period that do not exceed the first preset threshold; determining whether the count, for the number of disturbances that do not exceed the first preset threshold, exceeds a second preset threshold for triggering alerts of the first alert type, wherein the second preset threshold corresponds to a preset number of allowable disturbances, not exceeding the first preset threshold and within the preset time period, before one or more alerts of the first alert type are to be triggered; and triggering an alert of the first alert type responsive to a determination that the count exceeds the second preset threshold.
