Particulate detection and air advice provision
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving particulate data collected at an interior location;
retrieving air quality data for an exterior surrounding area of the interior location from a remote server; and
generating a particulate advice response for a client situated at the interior location, based at least in part on the combination of the received particulate data of the interior location and the retrieved air quality data of the exterior surrounding area.

Abstract
A novel basic allergen/particulate data collection device and a novel multi-function personal air quality management device are disclosed. Both devices include sensor sub-assembly detecting and reporting on allergen/particulate data (preferably, for allergen/particulate with sizes smaller than 5 micron) for an indoor location (where the asthma patient is situated). Both devices are communication enabled to allow the allergen/particulate data to be provided to an air/asthma advice server, to generate air/asthma advice for an asthma patient, taking into consideration the allergen/particulate data as well as air quality data for a surrounding outdoor area of the indoor location. In one embodiment of the basic device, the communication interface is tailored for “harsh environment” local area networking. When combined with its streamlined functionality, the device is particularly suitable (especially in terms of economics) for multiple deployment (along with a “base station”), such as in the case of an home application. In one embodiment of the multi-function device, the communication interface is tailored for “controlled environment” wide area networking. When combined with its rich functionality, the device is particularly suitable for standalone deployment, such as in the case of a professional application. Various alterations and modifications of different embodiments are also disclosed.

31. A method comprising:
-
collecting particulate data at a site using one or more sensors locally disposed at the site;
accessing a wireless local area network medium at the site, the wireless local area network medium coupled with a public network disposed off-site;
sending the collected particulate data to a remote server coupled to the public network, via the wireless local area network medium; and
receiving particulate advice response, from the remote server, that is based at least in part upon the collected particulate data and air quality data for an exterior surrounding area of the site.

33. A system comprising:
-
one or more data collection units coupled to a local area network at a site, at least one of the one or more data collection units having a particulate sensor to collect particulate data at the site;
a base station coupled to the local area network and a public network, to receive the particulate data from the one or more data collection units via the local area network and to send the collected particulate data to a server, which is at a location remote from the site, via the public network; and
an advice receipt arrangement at the site to receive advice from the server via the public network, said advice based at least in part upon the collected particulate data.
