Abstract: Monitoring of food temperature during cooking for taste as well as to check if it is safe for consumption is well known, especially when grilling or bbqing or in professional kitchens. With smartphones and tablets, use of wireless thermometers that use bluetooth or WiFi are now available commercially. These thermometers use the internet cloud when needed and have apps that provide a lot of information to make cooking easier and fun. The present invention relates to an unique temperature monitoring system.

Abstract: With proliferation of “Internet of Things” (IoT) type of devices, autonomous remote monitoring is becoming common. Often times monitoring is to prevent product loss or it is mandated by regulatory agencies such as the FDA or CDC or others depending on the product stored or where it is used. However, the solutions are typically not complete or affordable and have significant scalability problems. The purpose of the invention is to provide a complete solution that leverages the recent IoT innovations to not just monitor but also provide the means to troubleshoot, maintain and manage.

Abstract: Consumers have a general awareness of cyber threats and its prevalence but most are completely unaware that their own computer systems are below the standard for keeping them safe. Systems on the internet are now exposed to cyber-attacks by sponsored and unsponsored hackers seeking to exploit vulnerabilities known to exist in applications and operating systems. A typical home user has a simple network with multiple devices connected to the internet but does not have an awareness of activity on their network. There has been a long felt need for a wireless monitoring solution that is affordable, made for homes and offices, monitors remotely, continuously and uses a plug and play type of accessory that does not require modifying the existing network used in homes and offices and does not require outsourcing of the cyber security threat and protection.

Abstract: Home use of sensors has been limited to rudimentary devices such as using a thermometer or sensors installed in homes by third party for security. An affordable sensor with advanced capabilities as used in commercial applications has not been possible. Smartphone or smart tablets, with advanced computing ability, has not been a platform for sensor communications though the capability exists. Recent products such as the iCelsius convert the iPhone into a data logger for measuring temperature and relative humidity. However, these sensors are tethered to the device and not wireless. A cost effective sensor solution for consumer application with remote monitoring capability is now possible using WiFi based wireless sensors that will work with the smart phones and the cloud based computing on the internet; such an integration of these three platforms in such a way that the user does not have to intervene to make it all work seamlessly is the purpose of this invention.
