Patent ID: 8665784

Claim:
A Smart Sensor system comprising: at least one sensor operable to measure one or more physical quantities wherein each sensor includes a wireless communication stack operable to wirelessly communicate the one or more measured physical quantities, a microprocessor operated by a real-time operating system kernel, and a firmware library including Global Positioning System (GPS) drivers; a coordinator operable to receive and store the one or more physical quantities measured by the at least one sensor; at least one router communicatively interposed between the at least one sensor and the coordinator, wherein each of the at least one router manages wireless transmission from at least one sensor to the coordinator of measured physical quantities; and wherein the coordinator includes a wireless communication stack operable for wireless communication with each of the at least one router and a communication link, the communication link operable to receive requests for information about the measured physical quantities, and responsive to receiving a user request, converting the one or more physical quantities measured by the at least one sensor to a HTML web page and transmitting the HTML web page; wherein the coordinator includes a web server with a common gateway interface function that can process common gateway interface scripts so as to dynamically access the one or more physical quantities measured by the at least one sensor.
