METHODS AND ARRANGEMENTS FOR SENSORS

摘要

Generally, smart sensors, logic to process messages from smart sensors, and smart sensor systems are described herein. Embodiments may comprise logic such as hardware and/or code to communicate events as messages via a messaging system to post the messages to a messaging account. The messaging system may be a texting service like Twitter™ that captures the messages and then re-broadcasts the messages, e.g., immediately as a tweet or a cellular text message. In some embodiments, the smart sensor comprises a communications module with a Twitter™ application program interface (API) on a communications platform with a software/hardware framework to interconnect with one or more pluggable monitors with sensors. In other embodiments, the communications module may be integrated with one or more monitors. Further embodiments comprise a smart-device, which can provide status updates and event notifications to a user.

1. A system comprising:
at least one sensor to produce sensor data; monitor logic to:
detect a sensor event based at least in part on the sensor data; andgenerate a multimedia message in response to detection of the sensor event, wherein the multimedia message comprises text and an image; and a communication module to wirelessly communicate with a messaging system to cause transmission of the multimedia message through a cellular network or a wireless local area network.
