Abstract

Systems and techniques are provided for providing notification indicative of a breach of a dynamic operational parameter threshold. The dynamic operational parameter threshold is set based upon habits of inhabitants of an environment, which are observed via controlled sensors of the environment.

Claims (66)

a plurality of electronic sensors, configured to collect environment condition data corresponding to an environment;

a processor in communication with the plurality of electronic sensors, wherein the processor is configured to:

identify, via a first sensor of the plurality of electronic sensors, environmental changes to the environment;

in response to identifying the environmental changes, generate a sensor control instruction requesting to increase a data capture frequency of at least one of the plurality of electronic sensors;

transmit the sensor control instruction to the at least one of the plurality of electronic sensors to modify a frequency of data capture by the at least one of the plurality of electronic sensors;

in response to transmitting the sensor control instruction, receive environmental condition data corresponding to the data capture frequency, from the at least one of the plurality of electronic sensors;

identify an operational parameter threshold based upon inhabitant habits within the environment; and

upon the environmental condition data corresponding to the data capture frequency breaching the operational parameter threshold, transmit an electronic notification to an electronic device indicative of a breach of the operational parameter threshold.

2. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the operational parameter threshold is based on a habit profile associated with inhabitants of the environment.

the habit relates to water usage at a particular time period; and

the operational parameter threshold is associated with a threshold amount of water usage monitored by a water sensor.

6. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to:

generate a message indicating a possible water leakage when the operational parameter threshold is breached; and

transmit the message to a computing device associated with the environment.

7. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to:

identify, from one or more of the plurality of electronic sensors, observable current water usage by inhabitants; and

modify the operational parameter threshold based upon the observable current water usage.

8. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein:

the habit relates to electricity usage at a particular time period; and

the operational parameter threshold is associated with a threshold amount of electricity usage monitored by an electricity sensor.

9. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to:

generate a message indicating a possible electrical issue when the operational parameter threshold is breached; and

transmit the message to a computing device associated with the environment.

10. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to:

identify, from one or more of the plurality of electronic sensors, observable current electrical usage by inhabitants; and

modify the operational parameter threshold based upon the observable current electrical usage.

11. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

identify a number of inhabitants; and

identify the operational parameter threshold based upon the number of the inhabitants.

12. A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer, cause the computer to:

identify, via a first sensor of a plurality of electronic sensors configured to collect environment condition data corresponding to an environment, environmental changes to the environment;

in response to identifying the environmental changes, generate a sensor control instruction requesting to increase a data capture frequency of at least one of the plurality of electronic sensors;

transmit the sensor control instruction to the at least one of the plurality of electronic sensors to modify a frequency of data capture by the at least one of the plurality of electronic sensors;

in response to transmitting the sensor control instruction, receive environmental condition data corresponding to the data capture frequency, from the at least one of the plurality of electronic sensors;

identify an operational parameter threshold based upon inhabitant habits within the environment; and

upon the environmental condition data corresponding to the data capture frequency breaching the operational parameter threshold, transmit an electronic notification to an electronic device indicative of a breach of the operational parameter threshold.

13. The computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the operational parameter threshold is based on a historical trend of continuously monitored environment condition data, indicating a trend of use at particular time periods.

14. The computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein:
