ENVIRONMENT AND HAZARD CONDITION MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

An environment and hazard condition monitoring system is provided. One embodiment of the environment monitoring system (10) is adapted to incorporate a plurality of preexisting sensors (15). The environment monitoring system (10) comprises at least one user interface (35) and a plurality of sensor agents (20), with each sensor agent communicating with the preexisting sensors, the user interface and with the other sensor agents. Another embodiment of the invention provides new sensors that include sensor agents that can communicate with each other and with a user interface. The sensor agent in either environment monitoring system can also communicate with portable devices.
