1. A system comprising:
- at least one sensor;
a memory for storing a plurality of sensor readings from said sensor over a period of time; and
a processor for determining, based on stored ones of said sensor readings, that a condition exists with respect to a current sensor reading that warrants action to be taken.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to systems and methods in which monitors track their respective parameters. Based on the learned activity, the monitors control operational aspects of the premises. The monitors thus learn and remember how the premises is used. When a possible trouble condition is detected, the system compares a detected parameter against parameters expected at that day and time in order to determine the action to be taken. In one embodiment the system learns and remembers the cyclical repetition and frequency of parameters, for example, of someone with a cane or limp, or a small person with a short gait as compared to a tall person with a longer stride.

15. A method for detecting a trouble condition with respect to a premises, said method comprising:
-
receiving a signal that corresponds to a parameter being monitored at certain positions pertaining to said premises; creating over time an anticipated pattern of normal activity of said parameter based upon said received signal; and determining from said received signal in conjunction with said created anticipated pattern of normal activity that said trouble condition exists with respect to said premises. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An alert system comprising;
-
means for detecting a parameter occurring at a specific location of a premises; means for comparing a detected parameter with a previously detected parameter occurring at the same time on a previous day; and means for reporting a possible trouble condition based on said comparing. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
