Patent ID: 7990262

Claim:
An apparatus for processing data collected via a wireless network sensor, comprising: a module for receiving data from a wireless network sensor having a plurality of sensors for generating signals relating to ambient conditions proximate the sensors in a monitored space, a processor for receiving and processing data from the sensors, and a wireless transmitter for wirelessly transmitting data; a module for parsing events based upon a change in the signals indicating a corresponding change in the ambient conditions proximate the corresponding sensors; a module for parsing episodes based upon the parsed events, wherein the parsed episodes are determined by applying particular criteria to the parsed events; a module for parsing vectors based upon the parsed episodes, wherein the parsed vectors are determined by applying particular criteria to the parsed episodes; a module for determining a normal condition in the monitored space by processing the parsed vectors over a particular time period; and a module for determining an alarm condition, wherein the alarm condition is a condition having an unexpected change in comparison to the normal condition.
