Abstract

Various embodiments include a fire detection system (FDS) device and methods for operating an FDS device to detect a potential fire and communicate information regarding fire detection events to a central fire detection system via a wireless communication network. Various embodiments include receiving information from one or more sensors configured to detect an indication of a possible fire, determining whether information received from the one or more sensors satisfy one or more threshold criteria indicative of a fire event, generating a fire warning message comprising a fire alarm object in response to determining that the information received from the one or more sensors satisfy one or more threshold criteria indicative of a fire event, and sending the generated fire warning message to a remote server via a communication network.

generating a fire warning message comprising a fire alarm object in response to determining that the information received from the one or more sensors satisfy one or more threshold criteria indicative of a fire event, wherein the fire alarm object comprises a Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LwM2M) object configured to indicate at least a temperature value; and

sending the generated fire warning message to a remote server via a communication network.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fire alarm object is configured to indicate one or more resource definition identifiers (IDs).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fire alarm object is configured to indicate a permissible operation for a resource of the fire alarm object.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fire alarm object is configured to indicate a permitted number of instances of a resource of the fire alarm object.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fire alarm object is configured to indicate whether an operation related to a resource of the fire alarm object is mandatory or optional.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fire alarm object is configured to indicate a data type of a resource of the fire alarm object.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fire alarm object is configured to indicate a permitted range for or enumeration of information of a resource of the fire alarm object.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fire alarm object is configured to indicate permissible units for information represented in a resource of the fire alarm object.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fire alarm object is configured to include a description of one or more values associated with a resource of the fire alarm object.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein sending the generated fire warning message to the remove server via the communication network comprises:

activating a transceiver; and

sending the generated fire warning message to the remove server via the communication network using the activated transceiver.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the communication network comprises a wireless communication network.

12. A fire detection system (FDS) device, comprising:

a processor configured with processor-executable instructions to:

receive information from one or more sensors configured to detect an indication of a possible fire;

determine whether information received from the one or more sensors satisfies one or more threshold criteria indicative of a fire event;

generate a fire warning message comprising a fire alarm object in response to determining that the information received from the one or more sensors satisfy one or more threshold criteria indicative of a fire event, wherein the fire alarm object comprises a Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LwM2M) object configured to indicate at least a temperature value; and

send the generated fire warning message to a remote server via a communication network.

13. The FDS device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the fire alarm object is configured to indicate one or more resource definition identifiers (IDs).

14. The FDS device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the fire alarm object is configured to indicate a permissible operation for a resource of the fire alarm object.

15. The FDS device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the fire alarm object is configured to indicate a permitted number of instances of a resource of the fire alarm object.

16. The FDS device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the fire alarm object is configured to indicate whether an operation related to a resource of the fire alarm object is mandatory or optional.

17. The FDS device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the fire alarm object is configured to indicate a data type of a resource of the fire alarm object.

18. The FDS device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the fire alarm object is configured to indicate a permitted range for or enumeration of information of a resource of the fire alarm object.

19. The FDS device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the fire alarm object is configured to indicate permissible units for information represented in a resource of the fire alarm object.

20. The FDS device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the fire alarm object is configured to include a description of one or more values associated with a resource of the fire alarm object.

21. The FDS device of claim 12 , further comprising a transceiver, wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions to;

activate a transceiver; and

send the generated fire warning message to the remove server via the communication network using the activated transceiver.

22. The FDS device of claim 12 , further comprising a wireless transceiver, wherein the communication network comprises a wireless communication network.

23. A fire detection system (FDS) device, comprising:

means for receiving information from one or more sensors configured to detect an indication of a possible fire;

means for determining whether information received from the one or more sensors satisfies one or more threshold criteria indicative of a fire event;

means for generating a fire warning message comprising a fire alarm object in response to determining that the information received from the one or more sensors satisfy one or more threshold criteria indicative of a fire event, wherein the fire alarm object comprises a Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LwM2M) object configured to indicate at least a temperature value; and

means for sending the generated fire warning message to a remote server via a communication network.

24. The FDS device of claim 23 , wherein the fire alarm object is configured to indicate one or more resource definition identifiers (IDs).

25. The FDS device of claim 23 , wherein the fire alarm object is configured to indicate a permissible operation for a resource of the fire alarm object.
