Computer-implemented systems utilizing sensor networks for sensing temperature and motion environmental parameters; and methods of use thereof

Abstract

Computer-implemented systems utilizing sensor networks for sensing temperature and motion environmental parameters, and performing at least operations of electronically establishing, based on pattern recognition criteria, correspondence of a plurality of representative features a plurality of characteristics of an occurrence, where a first instance of the occurrence occurred within a first time period of a plurality of time periods; electronically discovering, based on the correspondence, a second instance of the occurrence in an environment during a second time period of the plurality of time periods; and electronically causing, based on the discovery of the second instance of the occurrence, a change in the environment via an electronically-controlled device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system, comprising:
 (a) a data retention device;   (b) a plurality of distributed sensor nodes, each respective sensor node operable to sense a parameter;   (c) a computing device operable to communicate with the plurality of distributed sensor nodes and to communicate with the data retention device.
