    摘要: There is provided a fire alarm device including multiple light sources, a light sensor, a first processor and a second processor. In a standby mode, the first processor identifies whether to wake up the second processor according to a detection result of the light sensor obtained by detecting emission light of one of the multiple light sources. The second processor identifies whether to generate an alarm according to a detection result of the light sensor obtained by detecting emission light of the multiple light sources. The fire alarm device further includes a thermal sensor for providing detected temperature values to the first processor and/or the second processor to perform the identifying procedure.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for generating an alarm pertaining to continuous biometric data and, more specifically, to an alarm generation method in which, if an alarm condition is satisfied, an alarm is output to a user while maintaining the alarm in an activated state during a set alarm period, and changing the alarm type selected by the user during the alarm period, thereby enabling the user to be prompted to input information or take an action in response to the alarm without ignoring the alarm, while not causing inconvenience to the user due to frequent alarms; and when the alarm condition is satisfied, an operating mode of a receiver is determined and the alarm type, which has been set in accordance with the alarm condition, is changed to an alarm type corresponding to the operating mode of the receiver, thereby making it possible to prevent an alarm from being generated against the user's wishes.

    摘要: Various apparatus and methods for smoke detection are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of training a classifier for a smoke detector comprises inputting sensor data from a plurality of tests into a processor. The sensor data is processed to generate derived signal data corresponding to the test data for respective tests. The derived signal data is assigned into categories comprising at least one fire group and at least one non-fire group. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) training is performed by the processor. The derived signal data and the assigned categories for the derived signal data are inputs to the LDA training. The output of the LDA training is stored in a computer readable medium, such as in a smoke detector that uses LDA to determine, based on the training, whether present conditions indicate the existence of a fire.
