Home sensor data gathering for neighbor notification purposes

摘要

In a computer-implemented method of generating event notifications, in-home data is received. The in-home data and environment data (e.g., weather, law enforcement, etc.) is generated by, or based on information generated by, a device located at a residence of an individual, and is analyzed to determine whether it is indicative of an event that should be reported to one or more neighboring residences and/or businesses. If the data is indicative of such an event, a notification is generated and transmitted to the relevant residences and/or businesses.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method of providing event-driven notifications, the method comprising:
obtaining, at one or more computers, data listing one or more events that, when detected by one or more sensors at a first real property, trigger a notification report; obtaining, at one or more computers, data listing one or more remote devices that are associated with at least a second real property, and to which the notification report will be transmitted; obtaining, at one or more computers, one or more notification rules describing content of the notification report and conditions for transmitting the notification report, wherein the one or more computers autonomously learns at least one of the notification rules by generating an event model used to identify the conditions for transmitting the notification report based on property event data that is generated by one or more third real properties, wherein each of the first, second, and third real properties are different; receiving, at one or more computers, event data that is generated by, or based on information generated by, the one or more sensors, wherein the event data is indicative of a condition monitored by the one or more sensors; determining, at one or more computers, whether the received event data corresponds to the one or more of the events which trigger the notification report; generating, at one or more computers, the notification report based on the received event data and the one or more notification rules; and transmitting, using one or more computers, at least a portion of the notification report to the one or more remote devices associated with at least the second real property.
