Patent number: 9715818Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for processing sensor data are presented. In some embodiments, a security server may receive sensor data from one or more sensors that are located at a premises. Subsequently, the security server may classify a first portion of the received sensor data as critical sensor data, (e.g., based on the first portion of the received sensor data being associated with a critical function). In addition, the security server may classify a second portion of the received sensor data as non-critical sensor data (e.g., based on the second portion of the received sensor data being associated with a non-critical function). Thereafter, the security server may process the critical sensor data, and further may provide the non-critical sensor data to a network server for processing.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2015Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: James Poder, Galen Trevor Gattis, Chris Kennedy, Karen Serviss
