Learning alarms for nuisance and false alarm reduction
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A learning alarm, comprising:
- a processor;
a sensor operatively connected to the processor to detect environmental properties;
an alarm operatively connected to the processor to provide an alert if environmental properties are outside an acceptable range, including at least one first environmental property detected at a first time associated with a first alert;
a user interface operatively connected to the processor to accept user input indicating that the first alert corresponds to a nuisance condition; and
a memory operatively connected to the processor for storing in response to receipt of the user input the at least one first environmental property as nuisance environmental properties that correspond to the nuisance condition,wherein when the sensor detects at a second time after the first time at least one second environmental property that is outside of the acceptable range,the processor is configured to compare the at least one second environmental property with the nuisance environmental properties, andthe processor is configured to suppress alerts from the alarm based on the comparison.

Abstract
A learning alarm includes a sensor operatively connected to a processor to detect environmental properties and an alarm operatively connected to the processor to provide an alert if the environmental properties are outside an acceptable range. A user interface is operatively connected to the processor to accept user input indicating an alert corresponds to a nuisance condition. A memory is also operatively connected to the processor for storing detected environmental properties corresponding to the nuisance condition. The processor is configured to suppress alerts from the alarm based on detected environmental properties corresponding to the environmental properties of the nuisance condition stored in the memory.

6. A learning alarm system, comprising:
-
a processor operatively connected to at least two alarm units, each alarm unit including a sensor to detect environmental properties; an alarm operatively connected to the processor to provide an alert if environmental properties are outside an acceptable range, including at least one first environmental property detected at a first time associated with a first alert; a user interface operatively connected to the processor to accept user input indicating that the first alert corresponds to a nuisance condition; and a memory operatively connected to the processor for storing in response to receipt of the user input the at least one first environmental property as nuisance environmental properties that correspond to the nuisance condition, wherein when any of the sensors detects at a second time after the first time at least one second environmental property that is outside of the acceptable range, the processor is configured to compare the at least one second environmental property with the nuisance environmental property, and the processor is configured to suppress alerts from the alarm based on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method of suppressing nuisance alarms, comprising:
-
detecting environmental properties; providing an alert if environmental properties are outside an acceptable range, including at least one first environmental property detected at a first time associated with a first alert; receiving user input indicating that the first alert corresponds to a nuisance condition; storing in response to receipt of the user input the at least one first environmental property as nuisance environmental properties that correspond to the nuisance condition; detecting, at a second time after the first time, at least one second environmental property that is outside of the acceptable range; comparing the at least one second environmental property with the nuisance environmental properties; and suppressing an alert based on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
