Abstract

Methods, devices, and systems for an aspirating smoke detector device operational analysis are described herein. One device includes a memory, and a processor to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to receive operational information associated with an aspirating smoke detector device and generate, using the received operational information, an aspirating smoke detector device operational analysis including a real-time operational parameter associated with the aspirating smoke detector device, and a user interface configured to display the aspirating smoke detector device operational analysis.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mobile device for an aspirating smoke detector device operational analysis, comprising:
a memory; and
a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to:
receive operational information associated with an aspirating smoke detector device in response to the mobile device wirelessly connecting to the aspirating smoke detector device; and
generate, using the received operational information, an operational analysis of the aspirating smoke detector device, wherein the operational analysis indicates an operational status of the aspirating smoke detector device; and

a user interface configured to display the aspirating smoke detector device operational analysis.

2. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to send a command to the aspirating smoke detector device.

3. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the operational analysis includes a blower speed of the aspirating smoke detector device.

4. The mobile device of claim 3 , wherein the blower speed is displayed as at least one of:
graphically on the user interface; and
a numerical value on the user interface.

5. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the operational analysis includes an air flow rate of gas through the aspirating smoke detector device.

6. The mobile device of claim 5 , wherein the air flow rate is displayed as at least one of:
a numerical value on the user interface;
graphically on the user interface; and
color coded on the user interface based on a value of the air flow rate.

7. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the operational analysis includes a smoke level of gas through the aspirating smoke detector device.

8. The mobile device of claim 7 , wherein the smoke level is displayed as at least one of:
graphically on the user interface;
a numerical value on the user interface; and
color coded on the user interface based on a value of the smoke level.

9. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the user interface is configured to display a number of aspirating smoke detector devices, wherein each of the number of aspirating smoke detector devices are within a threshold distance of the mobile device.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processor to:
display, on a user interface of a mobile device, a number of aspirating smoke detector devices, wherein each of the number of aspirating smoke detector devices are within a threshold distance of the mobile device;
receive, via the user interface, a selection of one of the number of aspirating smoke detector devices;
wirelessly connect to the selected aspirating smoke detector device; and
send a command from the mobile device to the selected aspirating smoke detector device.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the command is a command to set an alarm threshold of the aspirating smoke detector device.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the command is a command to set a sensitivity of the aspirating smoke detector device.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the command is a command to set a blower speed of the aspirating smoke detector device.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the computer readable instructions are executable by the processor to:
generate an alert in response to an event experienced by the aspirating smoke detector device; and
display the alert on the user interface.

15. A mobile device for an aspirating smoke detector device operational analysis, comprising:
a memory;
a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to:
receive operational information associated with an aspirating smoke detector device in response to the mobile device wirelessly connecting to the aspirating smoke detector device;
generate, using the received operational information, an operational analysis of the aspirating smoke detector device including a log of an event experienced by the aspirating smoke detector device; and

a user interface configured to display the operational analysis.

16. The mobile device of claim 15 , wherein the event experienced by the aspirating smoke detector device is a fault associated with the aspirating smoke detector device.

17. The mobile device of claim 16 , wherein the fault associated with the aspirating smoke detector device is a fault associated with an air flow rate of the aspirating smoke detector device.

18. The mobile device of claim 15 , wherein the operational analysis indicates an operational status of the aspirating smoke detector device.

19. The mobile device of claim 15 , wherein the mobile device is configured to wirelessly connect to the aspirating smoke detector device via Bluetooth.

20. The mobile device of claim 15 , wherein the mobile device is a smart phone.
