Model-based generation of information and evacuation messages
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a computer processor configured to receive structure data for a building, location data relating to a plurality of sensors positioned throughout the building, and sensor data from the plurality of sensors;
a plurality of display units positioned throughout the building and configured to display a message relating to an event within the building, an instruction on where to proceed in the building, and a symbol indicating a direction for evacuation out of the building,wherein the computer processor determines one or more of a safe space within the building and a safe evacuation route through the building as a function of the structure data, the location data, and the sensor data,wherein each of the plurality of display units includes a location and an orientation within the building, andwherein the computer processor generates the message, the instruction, or the symbol for displaying on a respective one of the plurality display units as a function of one or more of the location and the orientation of the respective one of the plurality display units, the safe space, and the safe evacuation route.
