SYSTEM FOR UTILITY USAGE TRIGGERING ACTION

摘要

The present disclosure relates to using sensors and measurements from sensors to trigger actions within a network. Specifically, various techniques and systems are provided for measuring usage or measurements, using sensors, of utilities or other environmental factors, generating profiles based on the usage or measurements, and triggering actions within a network device based on the usage, measurements and profiles. Embodiments of the present invention may include, for example, compiling historical usage based on the use or measurements detected by a network device and generating a usage profile based on that use or measurements. The normal usage profile may be compared with the usage over a certain predetermined period of time to detect any abnormal use or measurements from the network device, and an action may be taken as a result of an abnormality.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
compiling, by a network device on a network, usage data based on use of a utility by the network device, wherein the usage data is compiled over a predetermined time period; generating a usage profile of the network device based on the compiled usage data; determining that a current usage data is abnormal based on the usage profile; and transmitting a communication based on determination that the current usage data is abnormal, wherein when the communication is received, a state of the network device is changed, and wherein receiving the communication facilitates changing the state of the network device.
