Abstract

A remote location monitoring system, for example, a home monitoring or weather monitoring system may include one or more sensors and/or receivers at a first location such as a residence or business to be monitored. The sensors and receivers may communicate with a remote central server via a gateway device and the detection data received from the sensors and receivers may be displayed via display circuitry coupled to a processor of the gateway device. The sensors, receivers, and gateway device may be controlled by users locally or remotely via the server. Users may register to receive remote notifications of weather events and other home monitoring events. Users may also access remotely sensors and receivers to configure alerts, notifications, and automatic responses for the devices and integrated appliances at the first location.

Claims (46)

1. A mobile receiver device, comprising:

a display;

one or more processors; and

memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the mobile receiver device to:

receive, from a server, one or more signals indicative of first detection data corresponding to a first detection reading at a first location and second detection data corresponding to a second detection reading at the first location, wherein the mobile receiver device and the server are connected by one or more networks;

compare the first detection data, the second detection data, and one or more stored notification settings;

generate, based on the comparing, a user interface screen, the user interface screen comprising the first detection data, the second detection data, and a graphical layout of the first location; and

output, to the display, the user interface screen.

2. The mobile receiver device of claim 1 , wherein the user interface screen comprises an indication of time data.

3. The mobile receiver device of claim 1 , wherein the mobile receiver device further comprises a power source comprising one of a battery or a power adaptor.

4. The mobile receiver device of claim 1 , wherein the first detection data is associated with a first detection device and the second detection data is associate with a second detection device.

5. The mobile receiver device of claim 4 , the memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the mobile receiver device to:

receive, via the user interface screen, a user request for additional data; and

output, to the user interface screen, additional detection data.

6. The mobile receiver device of claim 5 , wherein the additional detection data comprises a third detection reading at the first location by a third detection device.

7. The mobile receiver device of claim 4 , wherein the one or more stored notification settings comprises a first notification setting for the first detection device and a second notification setting for the second detection device.

8. The mobile receiver device of claim 1 , wherein the first detection data and the second detection data are associated with a same detection device.

9. The mobile receiver device of claim 1 , wherein the display comprises a touch screen.

10. The mobile receiver device of claim 7 , wherein the one or more stored notification settings are received via the display.

11. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a mobile receiver device and from a server, first detection data corresponding to a first detection reading at a first location and second detection data corresponding to a second detection reading at the first location;

retrieving, by the mobile receiver device, one or more stored notification parameters;

comparing, by the mobile receiver device, the first detection data and the second detection data to the one or more stored notification parameters, resulting in a comparison;

generating, based on the comparison, a user interface screen, the user interface screen comprising the first detection data, the second detection data, and a graphical layout of the first location; and

displaying, by the mobile receiver device, the user interface screen.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the user interface screen comprises an indication of time data.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving, via the user interface screen, a request for additional data; and

outputting, to the user interface screen, additional detection data corresponding to a third detection reading at the first location.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first detection data is associated with a first detection device, and the second detection data is associated with a second detection device.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the one or more stored notification settings comprises a first notification setting for the first detection device and a second notification setting for the second detection device.

16. A system, comprising:

a server; and

a mobile receiver device comprising: a display;

one or more processors; and

memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the mobile receiver device to:

receive, from the server, first detection data corresponding to a first detection reading and a first location and second detection data corresponding to a second detection reading at the first location;

compare the first detection data, the second detection data, and one or more stored notification settings;

generate, based on the comparing, a user interface screen, the user interface screen comprising the first detection data, the second detection data, and a graphical layout of the first location; and

output, to the display, the user interface screen.

17. The system of claim 16 , memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the mobile receiver device to:

receive, via the user interface screen, a user request for additional data; and

output, to the user interface screen, additional detection data.

18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the mobile receiver device comprises a power source comprising one of a battery or a power adaptor.

19. The system of claim 16 , wherein the first detection data is associated with a first detection device and the second detection data is associate with a second detection device.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the one or more stored notification settings comprises a first notification setting for the first detection device and a second notification setting for the second detection device.
