Data collection and monitoring system and method
First Claim
1. A data collection and monitoring system for at least one defined space within a public or commercial facility, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors each monitoring a predetermined parameter;
at least one mobile device;
a central server associated with a storage medium, said storage medium being configured to store and monitor data related to said sensors; and
a data collecting unit configured to receive information from said sensors within a range of communication which corresponds to the extent of said defined space and configured to communicate with said at least one mobile device for a user and with said central server, said data collecting unit comprising;
at least one processor;
at least one memory for storing data relating to said sensors;
at least one short range communication unit for communicating with at least said sensors and said at least one mobile device within said range of communication which corresponds to the extent of said defined space; and
at least one long range communication unit for communicating with at least said central server,wherein said data collection and monitoring system is configured to determine the presence of the mobile device within said defined space, andwherein said data collecting unit is configured to forward data relating to said sensors to the at least one mobile device by a link established between the at least one mobile device and at least one of the at least one short range communication unit of the data collecting unit, when the mobile device is present in said defined space.

Abstract
A data collection and monitoring system for at least one defined space within a public or commercial facility includes: a plurality of sensors each monitoring a predetermined parameter; and a data collecting unit arranged for communicating with said sensors within a range of communication which corresponds to the extent of said defined space, with at least one mobile device for a user and with a central server which is associated with a storage medium. The storage medium is adapted for storing and monitoring data related to said sensors. Said data collecting unit is arranged for forwarding data relating to the sensors to the mobile device when the mobile device enters said space.

11. A method for collecting data and monitoring at least one defined space within a public or commercial facility, comprising:
-
monitoring a predetermined parameter by a plurality of sensors; providing communication between a data collecting unit and said sensors via at least one short range communication unit within said data collecting unit, within a range of communication which corresponds to the extent of said defined space, providing communication between said data collecting unit and at least one mobile device for a user via at least one of the at least one short range communication unit within said data collecting unit; providing communication between said data collecting unit and a central server which is associated with a storage medium via at least one long range communication unit within said data collecting unit, said storage medium being adapted for storing and monitoring data related to said sensors, forwarding data relating to the sensors from the data collecting unit to the mobile device when the mobile device is present in said defined space, detecting the presence of the mobile device within said range, and providing direct communication between said mobile device and the sensors and with the central server, for exchange of information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
