SYSTEM AND METHOD OF IDENTIFYING A NUMBER OF OCCUPANTS IN A MONITORED REGION FOR EFFECTIVE EMERGENCY EVACUATION AND ASSISTANCE

摘要

Systems and methods of identifying a number of occupants in a monitored region can include an ambient alarm system and one or more registered user devices in the monitored region. When the ambient alarm system detects an alarm condition in the monitored region, the ambient alarm system can transmit a first signal to the one or more registered user devices, and responsive thereto, the one or more registered user devices can activate a respective Bluetooth peripheral device, and the ambient alarm system can initiate a discovery process with the one or more registered user devices, and responsive to the discovery process, each activated Bluetooth peripheral device can transmit a second signal to the ambient alarm system indicative of an identification of the respective registered user device. Based on a number of received identifications, the ambient alarm system can identify a number of occupants in the monitored region.
