Patent ID: 8786425

Claim:
An electronic system comprising: at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the at least one processor having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising: collecting data sensed by a monitoring system that monitors a property of a user; aggregating the collected data over a period of a time; detecting, within the aggregated data, patterns of recurring events; and based on detecting the patterns of recurring events within the aggregated data, taking action related to the monitoring system based on the detected patterns of recurring events within the aggregated data, wherein taking action related to the monitoring system based on the detected patterns of recurring events within the aggregated data comprises: determining to suggest a rule for the monitoring system based on the detected patterns of recurring events within the aggregated data; sending, to the user of the monitoring system, a suggestion of the rule for the monitoring system, the suggestion including an interface that includes a description of the rule being suggested and interface controls that enable the user of the monitoring system to set the rule for the monitoring system, decline the rule for the monitoring system, or set a modified version of the rule for the monitoring system; receiving user input provided through at least one of the interface controls included in the interface that indicates how the user of the monitoring system would like to handle the rule being suggested; and handling the rule for the monitoring system based on the received user input that indicates how the user of the monitoring system would like to handle the rule being suggested.
