Systems and methods for emergency egress and monitoring system

摘要

Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise a system disposed within a structure comprising a network of individually addressed devices, wherein each device comprises a microcontroller electrically connected to a communication module, an output module, and/or a sensor module. The sensor module may produce data of an environmental condition and may transmit a signal to the microcontroller based on the data. The microcontroller may receive and processes the signal from the sensor module to identify a detected event and selectively activates at least one of the output module and the sensor module based on the detected event. The selectively activated output module and sensor module may located within the same device as the microcontroller and/or any number of devices in the network.

1. A system disposed within a structure suitable for human occupants, the system comprising:
a network of individually addressed devices, wherein each device comprises: a microcontroller comprising a central processing unit and memory; a communication module electrically connected to the microcontroller; one or more output modules electrically connected to the microcontroller; and one or more sensor modules configured to sense a particular environmental condition in the structure and electrically connected to the microcontroller, wherein the one or more sensor modules produces data corresponding to the sensed environmental condition and transmits a signal to the microcontroller based on the data, wherein the microcontroller is configured to receive and process the signal from the one or more sensor modules to identify the particular sensed environmental condition and:
selectively activate at least one of the one or more output modules and one or more sensor modules based on a need to respond to the particular sensed environmental condition;communicate the particular sensed environmental condition and instructions to the microcontrollers of the other devices in the network for selective activation of the at least one of the one or more output modules and the one or more sensor modules in the other devices; andassign a priority to each of the one or more output modules and the one or more sensor modules for sequential power-down based on the particular sensed environmental condition when the system is receiving inadequate power.
