Context aware doorbell system

1. A doorbell system comprising:

a doorbell having an activation element and a monitoring element, the doorbell being located within a wireless local area network (WLAN) and communicatively connected to a wireless wide area network (WAN); and

a controller configured to:

receive an indication of a user engaging the activation element of the doorbell;

set an initial priority status of a plurality of user devices, the initial priority status including at least a primary initial status and a secondary initial status that is lower than the primary initial status;

automatically update the priority status of at least one of the plurality of user devices to an updated priority status based on at least one user-dependent parameter, the updated priority status being a different than the initial priority status and being a primary priority status;

cause an alert to be displayed by at least one user device of the plurality of user devices based on the updated primary priority status.

2. The doorbell system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one user-dependent parameter includes a schedule associated with one or more of the plurality of user devices.

3. The doorbell system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one user-dependent parameter includes a sleep setting for one or more of the plurality of user devices.

4. The doorbell system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one user-dependent parameter includes a geo-location of one or more of the plurality of user devices.

5. The doorbell system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one user-dependent parameter includes a temporary third-party care setting of the doorbell system via which the doorbell system temporarily includes a third-party user device in the plurality of user devices; and

wherein the controller designates the third-party user device as having primary updated priority status and causes the alert to be displayed on the third-party user device based on the designation of the third-party user device having primary updated priority status.

6. The doorbell system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is located within a cloud network of the WAN.

7. The doorbell system of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring element generates a monitoring data; and

wherein the controller communicates the monitoring data to at least one user device of the plurality of user devices based on the priority status.

8. A method of operating a doorbell system, the method comprising:

communicating an engagement of the activation element of a doorbell;

selecting at least one user device of a plurality of user devices to display an alert based on a priority status of each of the plurality of user devices, the priority status including a primary priority status and a secondary priority status that is lower than the primary priority status; and

determining at least one user-dependent parameter associated with each user device, wherein the least one user-dependent parameter includes a third-party care setting of the doorbell system configured to temporarily include a third-party user device in the plurality of user devices;

updating the priority status of the plurality of user devices using the third-party care setting to temporarily designate the third-party user device as having updated primary priority status; and

providing the alert and audio and/or video data to at least the third-party user device based on the updated primary priority status.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

generating the audio and/or video data; and

providing the audio and/or video data to the at least one selected user device.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one user-dependent parameter includes a schedule associated with one or more of the plurality of user devices.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one user-dependent parameter includes a sleep setting for one or more of the plurality of user devices.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one user-dependent parameter includes a geo-location of one or more of the plurality of user devices.

13. A method of prioritizing an alert and a monitoring data generated by a doorbell system, the method comprising:

generating the alert based on activation of a doorbell of the doorbell system;

generating the monitoring data upon activation of the doorbell of the doorbell system;

setting an initial priority status of each of a the plurality of user devices, the initial priority status including at least a primary initial priority status and a secondary initial priority status that is lower than the primary initial priority status;

automatically updating the priority status of the plurality of user devices to an updated priority status using at least one user-dependent parameter, the updating including changing the priority status of at least one the plurality of user devices from a secondary priority status to an updated primary priority status; and then

providing the alert and the monitoring data to at least one of the plurality of user devices having the updated primary priority status.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the at least one user-dependent parameter includes a schedule associated with one or more of the plurality of user devices.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the at least one user-dependent parameter includes a sleep setting for one or more of the plurality of user devices.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the at least one user-dependent parameter includes a geo-location of one or more of the plurality of user devices.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the at least one user-dependent parameter includes a third-party care setting of the doorbell system;

wherein updating the priority status of the plurality of user devices using the third-party care setting temporarily designates a third-part user device as having the primary updated status, and wherein providing comprises providing the alert and the monitoring data to the third-party user device.
