Abstract:
A method and system architecture for automation and alarm systems is provided. An intelligent fire detection sensor is provided that provides input data to a gateway device for processing and facilitates two-way communication with users and a third-party monitoring service. The system architecture is hierarchically organized, allowing devices to process system data differently at different levels of the hierarchy. Processing of at least some of the sensor data is overseen by the gateway device, which may determine, based on the processing, to activate one or more secondary sensors at the fire detector (such as an optical camera). The gateway device and fire detection sensor may interact cooperatively to process voice commands and/or gesture data, and to recognize false alarms.

Abstract:
A method and system architecture for automation and alarm systems is provided. According to exemplary embodiments, relatively simple processing tasks are performed at the sensor level, with more complex processing being shifted to the gateway entity or a networked processing device. The gateway entity dynamically allocates processing resources for sensors. If a sensor detects than an event is occurring, or predicts that an event is about to occur, the sensor submits a resources allocation request and a power balancer running on the gateway entity processes the request. In response to the resources allocation request, the gateway entity allocates some processing resources to the requesting sensor and the data is processed in real-time or near-real-time by the gateway entity.
Abstract:
A method and system architecture for automation and alarm systems is provided. The system architecture is hierarchically organized, allowing devices to process system data differently at different levels of the hierarchy. Moreover, different devices at the same level of the hierarchy may employ different or custom configurations, allowing for context-dependent algorithms to be deployed in the system. The configuration of each device in the system is defined by a set of rules, filters, thresholds, and other criteria, which are pushed to a device from other devices in the hierarchy. Accordingly, the configuration of each device is dynamically updated as information is learned about the context in which the device is deployed, and as more advanced algorithms and configurations are developed.
