First Claim
1. A monitoring system for use with at least one device configured to provide information relating to the device, the system comprising:
- at least one first input configured to receive a plurality of second, inputs from the at least one device indicative of at least one parameter relating to the at least one device; and
a processor coupled to the at least one first input, the processor configured to provide a user with indicia of the second inputs for defining an event and at least one criterion for defining the event using at least one of the second inputs, the processor being configured to prompt the user to define the event using at least one of the second inputs and the least one criterion and to provide guidance to the user regarding the second inputs and the at least one criterion for defining the event.

16. A method of defining an event associated with at least one device configured to provide information relating to the at least one device, the method comprising:
-
providing a user with first indicia of monitored parameters relating to the at least one device;
providing the user with at least one second indication of at least one criterion for defining the event using at least one of the monitored parameters; and
prompting the user to define the event using at least one of the monitored parameters and the at least one criterion, including suggesting to the user how to define the event using at least one of the monitored parameters and the at least one criterion. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A computer program product for use with a computer for receiving status information regarding at least one device, the computer program product residing on a computer-readable medium and comprising computer readable instructions for causing the computer to:
-
present a user in communication with the computer with indications of the status information and options for defining a user-configured event related to the status information;
accept input from the user regarding the options to define the user-configured event; and
analyze the information in accordance with the selected options to evaluate whether the user-configured event occurs. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A monitoring system for use with at least one device configured to provide information relating to the device, the system comprising:
-
at least one input configured to receive information from the at least one device indicative of at least one parameter relating to the at least one device; and
a processor coupled to the at least one input, the processor configured to receive instructions from a user for defining a monitored event using the received information and to evaluate the event according to the definition of the event to determine whether the event definition is satisfied, the processor being configured to receive instructions from the user for taking an action in response to the event definition being satisfied and for taking the action only if the event definition is satisfied for at least an instructed amount of time. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39)

40. A monitoring system for use with at least one device configured to provide information relating to the device, the system comprising:
-
at least one input configured to receive information from the at least one device indicative of at least one parameter relating to the at least one device; and
a processor coupled to the at least one input, the processor configured to receive instructions from a user for defining a monitored event using the received information and to evaluate the event according to the definition of the event to determine whether the event definition is satisfied, the processor being configured to receive instructions from the user for taking an action in response to the event definition being satisfied;
wherein the processor is configured to condition evaluation on a triggering activity and to evaluate the event definition only in response to the triggering activity occurring if the event evaluation is conditioned on the triggering activity. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43)
