INTELLIGENT SMOKE SENSOR WITH AUDIO-VIDEO VERIFICATION

摘要

A method and system architecture for automation and alarm systems is provided. An intelligent fire detection sensor is provided that provides input data to a gateway device for processing and facilitates two-way communication with users and a third-party monitoring service. The system architecture is hierarchically organized, allowing devices to process system data differently at different levels of the hierarchy. Processing of at least some of the sensor data is overseen by the gateway device, which may determine, based on the processing, to activate one or more secondary sensors at the fire detector (such as an optical camera). The gateway device and fire detection sensor may interact cooperatively to process voice commands and/or gesture data, and to recognize false alarms.

主权项

1. A fire detection apparatus comprising:
a plurality of detectors for generating input data, the plurality of detectors comprising a fire detection sensor for detecting an occurrence of a fire in the monitored area, the fire detection sensor comprising at least one of an infrared sensor, a carbon monoxide sensor, or an ionization sensor; a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing:
an identifier of a connected device that is capable of processing at least some of the input data, andprocessing logic for processing the input data locally at the fire detection apparatus; a communication interface communicatively coupled to the connected device; and a processor configured to:
identify an occurrence of a fire detection event based on input data from the fire detection sensor using the processing logic;generate a notification of the fire detection event and forward the notification to the connected device;receive a request from the connected device to present a false alarm prompt at the fire detection apparatus; andtransmit a report of a false alarm to the connected device when the fire detection apparatus receives a confirmation of the false alarm, or transmit the input data to the connected device when the fire detection apparatus does not receive confirmation of the false alarm.
