Patent number: 11367338Abstract: A method of and apparatus for wirelessly collecting and transmitting environmental condition information received from one or more environmental monitoring sensors located in and around a property of homes, buildings or structures. The environmental monitoring sensors communicates the conditions to a Property Management Communication Hub (e.g., a signal hub). The systems, apparatuses, and methods are Self-Contained Property Management System (‘SCPMS’). In one embodiment, a property management method is performed/executed by one or more algorithm implemented processor within the Property Management Communication Hub. The method comprises receiving an encoded event alert from a wireless sensor, encoding the event information, and transmitting the encoded event information to a remote location by a communication module configured to communicate using a wireless communication method.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: INSTANT CARE, INC.Inventors: Richard Allen Darling, Fong-Min Chang, Chih-Cheng Tai

Publication number: 20210280036Abstract: Devices for and methods of reducing the environmental sounds (e.g., television and radio systems) when communication is critical (e.g., during an emergency call). By providing remote access to power and audio controls of a television system, it allows a remote responding operator that is calling into a home to quickly take control of an emergency situation and get the user the help that they desperately needed. The devices and methods gain control of the volume or power of a system competing for the hearing level that is required to communicate during an emergency event.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Applicant: Instant Care, Inc.Inventors: Richard Allen Darling, Fong-Min Chang, Chih-Cheng Tai
