Fixture
A fixture system includes a fixture having an input device, an output device, and a fixture computing system. The fixture computing system includes a database and programming for receiving information from the input device and accessing the database. The programming has instructions that, when activated by the processor, performs the following steps: (a) activate the output device to output a first signal; (b) receive information from the input device; (c) access the database to determine a second signal, wherein the second signal is based on the information from the input device; and (d) activate the output device to output the second signal.
1 . A fixture, comprising:
a housing, comprising:
an output device selected from a list consisting of a light, a projector, and a speaker; and
at least one sensor selected from the list consisting of: a motion detector, a camera, a video camera, a proximity sensor, a voice processor, and an infrared detector; and
a fixture computing system communicatively coupled to the output device and the sensor, the computing system comprising:
a processor; and
non-transitory computer memory comprising programming, the programming comprising:
an action screening module for determining a presence of a situation at a location based on information from the sensor, an alert generation module for generating an alert via the output device based on the presence of the situation, and a response generation module for generating a request for a response from a remote module communicatively coupled to the fixture computing system.
2 . The fixture of claim 1 , wherein the alert generation module transmits an alert to the response generation module to generate a response request.
3 . The fixture of claim 2 , wherein the remote module is a mobile device.
