Abstract

Various embodiments include a carbon monoxide (CO) detection device and methods for operating a FDS or CO detection device to detect carbon monoxide and communicate information regarding CO detection events to a remote server via communication network. Various embodiments include receiving information from one or more CO sensors configured to detect CO, determining whether the information from the one or more CO sensors satisfies one or more threshold criteria indicative of fire event or CO detection, generating a CO warning message comprising a fire and/or CO alarm object in response to determining that the information received from the one or more CO sensors satisfy one or more threshold criteria indicative of CO detection, and sending the generated CO warning message to a remote server via a communication network.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for communicating a carbon monoxide (CO) detection to a communication network performed by a processor of a CO detection device, comprising:
receiving information from one or more CO sensors configured to detect CO;
determining whether the information received from the one or more CO sensors satisfies one or more threshold criteria indicative of CO detection;
generating a CO warning message comprising a CO alarm object in response to determining that the information received from the one or more CO sensors satisfies one or more threshold criteria indicative of CO detection, wherein the CO alarm object comprises a Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LwM2M) object;
sending the generated CO warning message to a remote server via a communication network.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CO alarm object is configured to indicate one or more resource definition identifiers (IDs).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CO alarm object is configured to indicate a permissible operation for a resource of the CO alarm object.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CO alarm object is configured to indicate a permitted number of instances of a resource of the CO alarm object.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CO alarm object is configured to indicate whether an operation related to a resource of the CO alarm object is mandatory or optional.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CO alarm object is configured to indicate a data type of a resource of the CO alarm object.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CO alarm object is configured to indicate a permitted range for or enumeration of information of a resource of the CO alarm object.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CO alarm object is configured to indicate permissible units for information represented in a resource of the CO alarm object.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CO alarm object is configured to include a description of one or more values associated with a resource of the CO alarm object.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein sending the generated CO warning message to a remote server via a communication network comprises:
activating a transceiver; and
sending the generated CO warning message to the remote server via the communication network using the activated transceiver.

11. A carbon monoxide (CO) detection device, comprising:
a processor configured with processor-executable instructions to:
receive information from one or more CO sensors configured to detect CO;
determine whether the information received from the one or more CO sensors satisfies one or more threshold criteria indicative of CO detection;
generate a CO warning message comprising a CO alarm object in response to determining that the information received from the one or more CO sensors satisfies one or more threshold criteria indicative of CO detection, wherein the CO alarm object comprises a Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LwM2M) object;
send the generated CO warning message to a remote server via a communication network.

12. The CO detection device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the CO alarm object is configured to indicate one or more resource definition identifiers (IDs).

13. The CO detection device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the CO alarm object is configured to indicate a permissible operation for a resource of the CO alarm object.

14. The CO detection device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the CO alarm object is configured to indicate a permitted number of instances of a resource of the CO alarm object.

15. The CO detection device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the CO alarm object is configured to indicate whether an operation related to a resource of the CO alarm object is mandatory or optional.

16. The CO detection device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the CO alarm object is configured to indicate a data type of a resource of the CO alarm object.

17. The CO detection device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the CO alarm object is configured to indicate a permitted range for or enumeration of information of a resource of the CO alarm object.

18. The CO detection device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the CO alarm object is configured to indicate permissible units for information represented in a resource of the CO alarm object.

19. The CO detection device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions such that the CO alarm object is configured to include a description of one or more values associated with a resource of the CO alarm object.

20. The CO detection device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions to:
activate a transceiver; and
send the generated CO warning message to the remote server via the communication network using the activated transceiver.

21. A carbon monoxide (CO) detection device, comprising:
means for receiving information from one or more CO sensors configured to detect CO;
means for determining whether the information received from the one or more CO sensors satisfies one or more threshold criteria indicative of fire event or CO detection;
means for generating a CO warning message comprising a CO alarm object in response to determining that the information received from the one or more CO sensors satisfies one or more threshold criteria indicative of CO detection, wherein the CO alarm object comprises a Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LwM2M) object;
means for sending the generated CO warning message to a remote server via a communication network.

22. The CO detection device of claim 21 , wherein the CO alarm object is configured to indicate one or more resource definition identifiers (IDs).

23. The CO detection device of claim 21 , wherein the CO alarm object is configured to indicate a permissible operation for a resource of the CO alarm object.

24. The CO detection device of claim 21 , wherein the CO alarm object is configured to indicate a permitted number of instances of a resource of the CO alarm object.

25. The CO detection device of claim 21 , wherein the CO alarm object is configured to indicate whether an operation related to a resource of the CO alarm object is mandatory or optional.

26. The CO detection device of claim 21 , wherein the CO alarm object is configured to indicate a data type of a resource of the CO alarm object.
