Method of detecting an abnormal environmental operating condition of an element embedded in an apparatus and corresponding element

摘要

A method of detecting an abnormal environmental operating condition of an element embedded in an apparatus. The element is able to communicate with a telecommunications network. The method includes cyclically measuring at least one environmental operating parameter of the element, detecting that the element is operating for an excessive duration in at least one reference operating span and transmitting an alert message to the telecommunications network if the element has operated for an excessive duration in the reference operating span.

1. A method for detecting an abnormal environmental operating condition of an element embedded in an apparatus, said element being a safety element of a telecommunications network and being configured to communicate with a telecommunications network, the method comprising:
cyclically measuring at least one environmental operating parameter of said element; detecting that the element is operating for an excessive duration in at least one reference operating span; and transmitting an alert message to the telecommunications network when the element has operated for an excessive duration in the at least one reference operating span, wherein said transmitted alert message includes information that enables a probable future failure of at least one of said element and said apparatus to be detected.
