Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for recording a data set that relates to safety and security observations of technical equipment that is part of a facility, the method being implemented with a mobile device that includes a location sensor and a data sensor, the method comprising: determining, in at least one hardware processor of the mobile device, that the mobile device is located in an event area being a geographic area of the facility inside which events originate from the technical equipment in event categories, wherein the event categories relate to one or more of: an emission of gas above a threshold, an absence of a particular piece of equipment, or an emission of sound within a given frequency range or in repetitions with time intervals of a predefined duration; activating, in the at least one processor, a detection component in the mobile device, the detection component being configured to process data from the data sensor to detect at least one event that falls into at least one of in the event categories, wherein an event is indicative of a risk or non-compliance with a rule; and upon detecting the at least one event that falls into at least one of the event categories, providing to a second processor, a data set with data from the data sensor of the mobile device in combination with a geographic location of the mobile device from the location sensor for recording of the data set, wherein the providing of the data set depends on a proximity range of the mobile device so that if the mobile device and the technical equipment are positioned in relation to each other outside the proximity range the recording is avoided, with the proximity range being a function of the event category for which the detection component is activated, or being determined by data resolution in combination with a distance from the data sensor to the technical equipment or by a signal-to-noise ratio of the data sensor.
