Claim Text:
1. A hazard detector communicatively connected to one or more computing devices, said hazard detector comprising: a power source; a plurality of hazard detection devices that are each different, each hazard detection device detecting a hazardous environmental condition different from that detected by another hazard detection device, wherein said plurality of hazard detection devices include at least a first hazard detection device that is a smoke detector, a second hazard detection device that is a carbon monoxide detector, a third hazard detection device that is a heat detector, and a fourth hazard detection device that is a water sensor, wherein said plurality of hazard detection devices are configured to transmit hazardous environmental condition signals for smoke, carbon monoxide, heat and water to and from said one or more computing devices; an alert device configured to provide a perceptible alert to individuals in proximity of the hazard detector; a geolocation device configured to identify the geographic location of the hazard detector; a secondary location component comprising one or more of an accelerometer, a level device, or an altimeter; and a control interface incorporating an interaction device selected from the group comprising a keyboard, a touchscreen, and a voice recognition device; wherein said control interface provides said individuals in proximity of the hazard detector the ability to provide additional information about hazardous environmental conditions by interacting with said interaction device of said control interface, including providing confirmation of the existence of said hazardous environmental conditions, wherein the control interface further allows for individuals in proximity of the hazard detector to cause the hazard detector to perform a plurality of actions selected from the group comprising: disarming one of said plurality of hazard detection devices, adding a hazard detection device to said plurality of hazard detection devices, removing a hazard detection device from said plurality of hazard detection devices, requesting aid, checking status of said hazard detector and checking status of said power source; wherein at least one of said one or more computing devices is a hazard detection and alert system configured to receive hazard information from and transmit hazard information to one or more hazard detectors based on the location of the one or more hazard detectors, wherein said hazard detection and alert system is communicatively connected to a third party system that provides environmental hazard information, and is configured to receive information from said third party system; and wherein said power source, said plurality of hazard detection devices, said alert device, said geolocation device, said secondary location component and said control interface are contained within the same portable hazard detector unit.
