System, apparatus, and method for utilizing sensor data
First Claim
1. A method of utilizing sensor data, comprising:
- obtaining sensor data, the sensor data being associated with an environment, the environment comprising a building and the building comprising at least one sensor that is a source of the sensor data;
determining at least one template based upon the sensor data, the at least one determined template being used to identify an activity;
storing a social hierarchy of operations to be performed based on the identified activity, the social hierarchy comprising differing levels of operations to be performed based on social levels and the identified activity, including at least;
a first set of one or more operations to be performed using a first data for a first set of target devices within a first social level, and a second set of one or more operations, different from the first set of one of more operations to be performed using a second data for a second set of target devices within a second social level; and
performing one or more operations according to the social hierarchy defined by the determined template, the one or more operations including transmitting data to the first and second set of target devices based on the social hierarchy.

Abstract
A system, apparatus, and method for utilizing sensor data are described. Various sensors may be used to gather sensor data. The sensor data may be associated with an environment. The environment may be many things such as a vehicle, user, or home, etc. The sensor data may be sent raw, or preprocessed to a server or mobile device via communication links. The server, or mobile device, may help utilize the data. For example, operations may be performed in response to identifying an activity. For example, alerting emergency services based upon identifying a home is on fire. Specific operations performed may be based upon information levels. For example, an information level may alert a home owner and display captured sensor data, while another level may alert the neighbors with a generic text message.
