Systems and methods for updating software in a hazard detection system
摘要
說明書
In some embodiments, the threshold for a particular transition condition can be a learned condition threshold (not shown). The learned condition threshold can be the result of a difference function, which may subtract a constant from an initial threshold. The constant can be changed, if desired, based on any suitable number of criteria, including, for example, heuristics, field report data, software updates, user preferences, device settings, etc. Changing the constant can provide a mechanism for changing the transition condition for one or more states (e.g., a pre-alarming state). This constant can be provided to transition conditions 306 to make adjustments to the learned condition threshold. In one embodiment, the constant can be selected based on installation and setup of hazard detection system 300. For example, the home owner can indicate that hazard detection system 300 has been installed in a particular room of an enclosure. Depending on which room it is, system 300 can select an appropriate constant. For example, a first constant can be selected if the room is a bedroom and a second constant can be selected if the room is a kitchen. The first constant may be a value that makes hazard detection system 300 more sensitive to potential hazards than the second constant because the bedroom is in a location that is generally further away from an exit and/or is not generally susceptible to factors that may otherwise cause a false alarm. In contrast, the kitchen, for example, is generally closer to an exit than a bedroom and can generate conditions (e.g., steam or smoke from cooking) that may cause a false alarm. Other installation factors can also be taken into account in selecting the appropriate constant. For example, the home owner can specify that the room is adjacent to a bathroom. Since humidity stemming from a bathroom can cause false alarms, hazard system 300 can select a constant that takes this into account. As another example, the home owner can specify that the room includes a fireplace. Similarly, hazard system 300 can select a constant that takes this factor into account.
