`
`17. A method comprising:
`generating sensor signals at a plurality of sensors
`configured to detect conditions at a site: transmitting
`the sensor signals to a headquarters processor
`configured to receive sensor signals from multiple
`sites, wherein the headquarters processor is
`configured to process the signals to determine an
`action to be taken if an event has occurred;
`processing the sensor signals at the headquarters
`processor to determine an action to be taken if an
`event has occurred, wherein the action includes at
`least one of notifying a human guard of the event and
`sending instructions to a human guard.

` The SmartThings Ecosystem
`
`
`17. A method comprising:
`generating sensor signals at a plurality of sensors
`configured to detect conditions at a site: transmitting
`the sensor signals to a headquarters processor
`configured to receive sensor signals from multiple
`sites, wherein the headquarters processor is
`configured to process the signals to determine an
`action to be taken if an event has occurred;
`processing the sensor signals at the headquarters
`processor to determine an action to be taken if an
`event has occurred, wherein the action includes at
`least one of notifying a human guard of the event and
`sending instructions to a human guard.
`
`Welcome to SmartThings! Each element in the growing SmartThings ecosystem enables you to build
`and integrate your IoT devices, services, and existing solutions on SmartThings Cloud.
`
` Devices can connect to SmartThings. Whether you have Zigbee or Z-Wave devices or cloud-
`connected devices, you can easily integrate them with SmartThings Cloud. A SmartThings
`Cloud Connector integrates devices through their own device cloud.

`
`As shown above all the sensors are connected to the Samsung SmartThings cloud (“headquarters processor”) wirelessly through which the SmartThings
`cloud receives the sensor data.

` Automation
`
`
`17. A method comprising:
`generating sensor signals at a plurality of sensors
`configured to detect conditions at a site: transmitting
`the sensor signals to a headquarters processor
`configured to receive sensor signals from multiple
`sites, wherein the headquarters processor is
`configured to process the signals to determine an
`action to be taken if an event has occurred;
`processing the sensor signals at the headquarters
`processor to determine an action to be taken if an
`event has occurred, wherein the action includes at
`least one of notifying a human guard of the event and
`sending instructions to a human guard.
`
`For example, consider an Automation. When the end-user configures the Automation to monitor an
`open/close sensor, the Automation subscribes to open/close sensor events. SmartThings Cloud waits
`on these open/close sensor events. Anytime an open/close event occurs, it is first noticed by
`SmartThings Cloud, which then calls back the SmartApp.
`

`
`Subscriptions
`
`SmartApps may create subscriptions to events for authorized devices. When the subscribed-to event
`occurs, your SmartApp will receive a POST request with information about the triggering event.
`
`For example, an app may wish to be notified when a configured motion sensor detects motion, when a
`light is turned on, or when a refrigerator door is opened.

`
`As shown above the Samsung SmartThings cloud processes the data received from the sensor devices for any events such as opening or closing of doors
`and notifies (“action”) the user about the event using the SmartThings app.

` Notifications
`
`
`17. A method comprising:
`generating sensor signals at a plurality of sensors
`configured to detect conditions at a site: transmitting
`the sensor signals to a headquarters processor
`configured to receive sensor signals from multiple
`sites, wherein the headquarters processor is
`configured to process the signals to determine an
`action to be taken if an event has occurred;
`processing the sensor signals at the headquarters
`processor to determine an action to be taken if an
`event has occurred, wherein the action includes at
`least one of notifying a human guard of the event and
`sending instructions to a human guard.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Notifications keeps you up to date on what’s happening in your home through two sections. Messages
`provides a summary of the actions SmartThings has taken at your request, and notifications or alerts
`you’ve asked to receive. Activity Feed is a running list of all events from your connected things, such as
`motion, temperature, doors opening and lights turning on and off.

`
`Example Smart Home Monitor alert
`There are many things you can do with Smart Home Monitor: Get a text message when the door opens
`and you’re away, turn on your lights when there's motion in your living room, or even activate a siren
`when an intrusion is detected.
`
`What happens during an incident
`Smart Home Monitor will report Total Incidents, and the alarm categories will indicate what type of
`incident occurred.
`For example, if a door opened, Security will turn from green to red and a Details message will appear.
