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 remote location such as a residence or business to be monitored. The sensors and receivers may communicate with a central server via a gateway device, and 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 remote location.

Claims (53)

1. A computing device, comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

receive data via a computer network, the data corresponding to detection readings from one or more sensors;

retrieve one or more parameters associated with one or more users;

compare the data to the one or more parameters; and

generate a graphical user interface comprising a map, wherein the map comprises the data and location data associated with the one or more sensors; and

output the graphical user interface to a web page.

2. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise a first sensor associated with a first user and a first location, and a second sensor associated with a second user and a second location.

3. The computing device of claim 2 , wherein the data comprises first data from the first sensor and second data from the second sensor.

4. The computing device of claim 3 , wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a data summary box comprising a compilation of the first data and the second data.

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

receive updated data via the computer network;

determine one or more changes between the data and the updated data; and

update the data summary box based on the one or more changes.

6. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the data comprises at least one of temperature data from a temperature sensor, wind data from a wind sensor, humidity data from a humidity sensor, rain data from a rain sensor, motion data from a motion sensor, electricity consumption data from a power sensor, pollen data from a pollen sensor, pressure data from a pressure sensor, static charge data from a static charge sensor, standing water data from a standing water sensor, visible light data from a visible light sensor, and alarm data from an alarm.

7. The computing device of claim 1 , the memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

adjust a zooming level of the map based on a user input to the map; and

automatically update contents of a data summary box, displayed on the map, based on the zooming level.

8. The computing device of claim 1 , the memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

receive second data from a satellite; and

overlay the second data onto the map.

9. A method comprising:

receiving, by a computing device and via a computer network, data corresponding to corresponding to detection readings from one or more sensors;

retrieving one or more parameters associated with one or more users;

comparing the data to the one or more parameters; and

generating a graphical user interface comprising a map, wherein the map comprises the data and location data associated with the one or more sensors; and

outputting the graphical user interface to a web page.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise a first sensor associated with a first user and a first location, and a second sensor associated with a second user and a second location.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the data comprises first data from the first sensor and second data from the second sensor, and wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a data summary box comprising a compilation of the first data and the second data.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving updated data via the computer network;

determining one or more changes between the data and the updated data; and

updating the data summary box based on the one or more changes.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the data comprises at least one of temperature data from a temperature sensor, wind data from a wind sensor, humidity data from a humidity sensor, rain data from a rain sensor, motion data from a motion sensor, electricity consumption data from a power sensor, pollen data from a pollen sensor, pressure data from a pressure sensor, static charge data from a static charge sensor, standing water data from a standing water sensor, visible light data from a visible light sensor, and alarm data from an alarm.

14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

adjusting a zooming level of the map based on a user input to the map.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

automatically updating contents of a data summary box, displayed on the map, based on the zooming level.

16. A system comprising:

one or more sensors; and

a server configured to:

receive via a computer network and from the one or more sensors, data corresponding to detection readings;

retrieve one or more parameters associated with one or more users;

compare the data to the one or more parameters; and

generate a graphical user interface comprising a map, wherein the map comprises the data and location data associated with the one or more sensors; and

output the graphical user interface to a web page.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise a first sensor associated with a first user and a first location, and a second sensor associated with a second user and a second location.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the data comprises first data from the first sensor and second data from the second sensor, and wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a data summary box comprising a compilation of the first data and the second data.

19. The system of claim 16 , wherein the data comprises at least one of temperature data from a temperature sensor, wind data from a wind sensor, humidity data from a humidity sensor, rain data from a rain sensor, motion data from a motion sensor, electricity consumption data from a power sensor, pollen data from a pollen sensor, pressure data from a pressure sensor, static charge data from a static charge sensor, standing water data from a standing water sensor, visible light data from a visible light sensor, and alarm data from an alarm.

20. The system of claim 16 , wherein the server is further configured to:

adjust a zooming level of the map based on a user input to the map; and

automatically update contents of a data summary box, displayed on the map, based on the zooming level.
