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 (57)

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 computing device to:

receive, via a computer network, one or more detection readings from one or more sensors;

generate, based on a comparison of the one or more detection readings to one or more stored parameters, a graphical user interface comprising a subset of the one or more detection readings;

cause to be output, to a display device, the graphical user interface;

receive a user interaction with the graphical user interface;

modify the graphical user interface based on the user interaction; and

cause to be output, to the display device, the modified graphical user interface.

2. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the subset of the one or more detection readings is overlaid on a digital map.

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

receive a second user interaction with the graphical user interface; and

configure a first sensor of the one or more sensors based on the second user interaction.

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

send, based a first detection reading from a first sensor of the one or more sensors, a notification.

5. The computing device of claim 4 , wherein the sending of the notification is further based on a user notification registration.

6. A method comprising:

receiving, via a computer network, one or more detection readings from one or more sensors;

generating, based on a comparison of the one or more detection readings to one or more stored parameters, a graphical user interface comprising a subset of the one or more detection readings;

causing to be output, to a display device, the graphical user interface;

receiving a user interaction with the graphical user interface;

modifying the graphical user interface based on the user interaction; and

causing to be output, to the display device, the modified graphical user interface.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the subset of the one or more detection readings is overlaid on a digital map.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving a second user interaction with the graphical user interface; and

configuring a first sensor of the one or more sensors based on the second user interaction.

9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving a user selection of a first detection reading of the one or more detection readings of the graphical user interface.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

outputting, based on the user selection, location data of a first sensor associated with the first detection reading.

11. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

sending, based a first detection reading from a first sensor of the one or more sensors, a notification.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the sending of the notification is further based on a user notification registration.

13. A system comprising:

one or more sensors; and

a computing device configured to:

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

generate, based on a comparison of the one or more detection readings to one or more stored parameters, a graphical user interface comprising a subset of the one or more detection readings;

cause to be output, to a display device, the graphical user interface;

receive a user interaction with the graphical user interface;

modify the graphical user interface based on the user interaction; and

cause to be output, to the display device, the modified graphical user interface.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the subset of the one or more detection readings is overlaid on a digital map.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the computing device is configured to:

receive a second user interaction with the graphical user interface; and

configure a first sensor of the one or more sensors based on the second user interaction.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the computing device is configured to:

receive updated data via the computer network; and

update the graphical user interface based on the updated data.

17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the one or more detection readings comprise 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.

18. The system of claim 13 , wherein the computing device is configured to:

receive a user selection of a first detection reading of the one or more detection readings of the graphical user interface; and

output, based on the user selection, location data of a first sensor associated with the first detection reading.

19. The system of claim 13 , wherein the computing device is configured to:

send, based a first detection reading from a first sensor of the one or more sensors, a notification.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the sending of the notification is further based on a user notification registration.
