Temperature monitoring with simulated thermal buffer computed at a base station
First Claim
1. An environmental monitoring system comprising:
- a base station configured to;
receive at least two reports from at least one environmental sensor in an environment;
compute, based on values of physical properties of a simulated object and the at least two reports, a simulated condition of the simulated object within the environment; and
transmit, to a computing device, at least the computed simulated condition of the simulated object,wherein the base station comprises;
a first memory configured to store a first plurality of reports and/or the computed simulated condition of the simulated object in a stack; and
a second memory configured to store a second plurality of reports in a buffer, wherein;
the second memory has a lower data processing rate than the first memory, andthe second memory has a higher data capacity than the first memory; and
a transmission control circuit configured to control transmission from the first memory and/or the second memory to the computing device based on detection of a connection to the computing device.

Abstract
An environmental monitoring system including a base station. The base station may receive at least two reports from at least one environmental sensor in an environment; compute, based on values of physical properties of a simulated object and the at least two reports, a simulated condition of the simulated object within the environment; and transmit, to a computing device, the at least two reports and/or the computed simulated condition of the simulated object. A method of operating a base station of an environmental monitoring system. At least one computer-readable storage medium encoded with executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method of operating a base station of an environmental monitoring system.

10. A method of operating a base station of an environmental monitoring system, the method comprising:
-
receiving a stream of reports from at least one environmental sensor in an environment; computing, based on values of physical properties of a simulated object and the stream of reports, a stream of simulated conditions of the simulated object within the environment; and transmitting, to a server, the stream of computed simulated conditions of the simulated object, wherein; a first plurality of the computed simulated conditions are stored in a stack in a first memory; and a second plurality of the computed simulated conditions are stored in a buffer in a second memory, and the method further comprises; in response to reaching a first capacity threshold of the first memory, transferring at least one least recent computed simulated condition from the first memory to the second memory; and in response to reaching a second capacity threshold of the second memory, deleting at least one least recent computed simulated condition from the second memory. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
