Abstract

Claims (27)

1. A remote monitoring method comprising the steps of:

monitoring an occurrence of an event,

providing a signal to a wireless module in response to the occurrence of the event,

sending a wireless application protocol request being indicative of the occurrence of the event to a first gateway,

converting the wireless application protocol request to a first hypertext transfer protocol request,

sending of the first hypertext transfer protocol request to a server,

determining at least one receiver address for the first hypertext transfer protocol request by the server,

sending of a second hypertext transfer protocol request from the server to a second gateway, and

sending of a wireless application protocol service loading message to at least one receiver which corresponds to the at least one receiver address from the gateway.

2. The method of claim 1 , fire, smoke, motion and/or sound sensors being used for monitoring.

3. The method of claim 1 , whereby the signal contains data being indicative of circumstances of the occurrence of the event, whereby the data is sent by means of the wireless application protocol request, and further comprising storing of the data by the server and assigning a uniform resource identifier to the data, and sending of the uniform resource identifier to the at least one receiver by means of the wireless application protocol service loading message.

4. The method of claim 1 , the wireless application protocol service loading message being user intrusive.

5. A remote monitoring server comprising:

means for receiving of a first hypertext transfer protocol request from a first wireless application protocol gateway, the first hypertext transfer protocol request being indicative of the occurrence of an event,

means for determining at least one receiver address for the first hypertext transfer protocol request, and

means for sending of a second hypertext transfer protocol request to a second wireless application protocol gateway in order to initiate a wireless application protocol service loading message to be sent to at least one receiver which corresponds to the at least one receiver address.

6. A remote monitoring system comprising:

means for monitoring an occurrence of an event and for providing a signal to a wireless module in response to the occurrence of the event,

means for sending a wireless application protocol request being indicative of the occurrence of the event to a first gateway,

means for converting the wireless application protocol request to a first hypertext transfer protocol request,

means for sending of the first hypertext transfer protocol request to a server,

means for determining at least one receiver address for the first hypertext transfer protocol request,

means for sending of a second hypertext transfer protocol request to a second gateway, and

means for sending of a wireless application protocol service loading message to at least one receiver which corresponds to the at least one receiver address.

7. The remote monitoring system of claim 6 , the means for monitoring comprising a fire, smoke, motion and/or sound sensor.

8. The remote monitoring system of claim 6 , further comprising means for storing of data being indicative of circumstances of the occurrence of the event on the server and means for assigning of a uniform resource identifier to the data.

9. The remote monitoring system of claim 6 , the second gateway being adapted to set an execute-high parameter for sending of the wireless application service loading message.
