PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide smart sensors, logic to process messages from the smart sensors, and smart sensor systems.SOLUTION: Embodiments comprise logic to communicate events as messages via a messaging system to post the messages to a messaging account. The messaging system is a text messaging service like Twitter(R) that captures the messages and then re-broadcasts the messages. A smart sensor comprises a communications module on a communications platform with a software/hardware framework to interconnect with one or more pluggable monitors with sensors. In other embodiments, the communications module is integrated with one or more monitors. Further embodiments may comprise a smart device, which provides status updates and event notifications to a user.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
