Systems and Methods for Detecting Emergency Conditions Within a Roofing Structure and Initiating Remediation Procedures - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18459396 titled 'Systems and Methods for Detecting Emergency Conditions Within a Roofing Structure and Initiating Remediation Procedures

The patent application describes techniques for detecting damage to a roofing structure and initiating remediation procedures.

• The method involves receiving sensor data from sensors near the roofing structure to monitor environmental conditions.
• By analyzing the sensor data, the method identifies the type and location of damage within the roofing structure.
• Based on the type of damage identified, a set of remediation services is determined.
• The method then identifies remediation service providers to perform the necessary services.
• An alert signal is generated and transmitted to a computing device, providing details of the damage and contact information for remediation service providers.

Potential Applications: - Building maintenance and management - Insurance claims processing - Property inspection and assessment

Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques for detecting damage to a roofing structure and initiating remediation procedures are disclosed herein. An exemplary computer-implemented method may include receiving sensor data from a plurality of sensors located proximate to the roofing structure to monitor a plurality of environmental conditions. The exemplary method may include (1) identifying, by one or more processors, a type of damage within the roofing structure based upon the sensor data; (2) locating a position of the damage within the roofing structure; determining a set of remediation services based upon the type of damage; and (3) identifying one or more remediation service providers to perform the set of remediation services. The exemplary method may include generating and transmitting an alert signal to a computing device identifying the type of damage to the roofing structure and contact information corresponding to at least one or more remediation service providers.
