METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING DYNAMIC GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATIONS AND REAL-TIME NOTIFICATION OF THE STATUS OF A REMOTELY MONITORED SYSTEM

摘要

A plurality of self-contained remote environmental data-monitor-control units (150) communicate with a central collection point (600), including transmitting and receiving data, control signals, program parameters and alert signals. The central collection point (600) including a web page interface allowing end users (800) to view real-time, current status as well as trended data in textual or graphical form. The central collection point (600) processes and forwards alert signals received from a remote environmental data control unit or a third-party monitoring system to an alert notification system (900) which can accept alert signals via email, page, and direct point-to-point communication, processes the alert signal to verify validity and eliminate redundant signals, and notifies one or more preselected recipients of the condition which caused the alert via confirmable, person-to-person notification.
