Patent number: 11748992Abstract: Example implementations may relate to methods and systems for detecting an event in a physical region within a physical space. Accordingly, a computing system may receive from a subscriber device an indication of a virtual region within a virtual representation of the physical space such that the virtual region corresponds to the physical region. The system may also receive from the subscriber a trigger condition associated with the virtual region, where the trigger condition corresponds to a particular physical change in the physical region. The system may also receive sensor data from sensors in the physical space and a portion of the sensor data may be associated with the physical region. Based on the sensor data, the system may detect an event in the physical region that satisfies the trigger condition and may responsively provide to the subscriber a notification that indicates that the trigger condition has been satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Arshan Poursohi, Daniel Aden, Matthew Amacker, Charles Robert Barker, Paul Vincent Byrne, Paul Du Bois, Greg Joseph Klein, Steve Scott Tompkins
