Systems and methods for using multi-criteria state machines to manage alarming states and pre-alarming states of a hazard detection system are described herein. The multi-criteria state machines can include one or more sensor state machines that can control the alarming states and one or more system state machines that can control the pre-alarming states. Each state machine can transition among any one of its states based on sensor data values, hush events, and transition conditions. The transition conditions can define how a state machine transitions from one state to another. The hazard detection system can use a dual processor arrangement to execute the multi-criteria state machines according to various embodiments. The dual processor arrangement can enable the hazard detection system to manage the alarming and pre-alarming states in a manner that promotes minimal power usage while simultaneously promoting reliability in hazard detection and alarming functionality.

Systems and methods for multi-criteria alarming

Systems and methods for updating software in a hazard detection system are described herein. Software updates may be received by, stored within, and executed by a hazard detection system, without disturbing the system's ability to monitor for alarm events and sound an alarm in response to a monitored hazard event. The software updates may be received as part of a periodic over-the-air communication with a remote server or as part of a physical connection with a data source such as a computer. The software updates may include several portions of code designed to operate with different processors and/or devices within the hazard detection system. The software updates may also include language specific audio files that can be accessed by the hazard detection system to play back language specific media files via a speaker.

Methods for using state machines

Systems and methods of placeshifting media playback between two or more devices are provided. For example, a method for placeshifting media may include downloading onto a first device an index of files accessed or modified on a second device via a data storage server, at least one of the files being a media file played on the second device. The first device may display a user selectable list of the files on the first device before issuing a request for the media file to the data storage server. The data storage server may send the media file to the first device from the data storage server, and the first device may play back the media file where the second device left off.

Multiple procesor hazard detection system

A method of navigating between user interface screens, including displaying a third user interface screen in a plurality of user interface screens that also includes a first and a second predefined user interface screen, the third user interface screen being other than the first and the second predefined user interface screen; detecting a finger gesture on the touch-sensitive display while displaying the third user interface screen, and in response to detecting the finger gesture on the touch-sensitive display, replacing display of the third user interface screen with display of the first predefined user interface screen when the detected finger gesture is a first finger gesture, and replacing display of the third user interface screen with display of the second predefined user interface screen when the detected finger gesture is a second finger gesture that is a reverse of the first finger gesture.

Using gesture to navigate hierarchically ordered user interface screens

A personal media device including a broadcast receiver that receives broadcast media and broadcast media data from a broadcast source where the broadcast media data includes a media identifier associated with the broadcast media. The media device also includes a data transceiver that sends a retrieval request to a media server for enhanced media data where the retrieval request includes the media identifier and receives the enhanced media data via a wireless data channel. The media device further includes a processor that performs a media device operation in response to the received enhanced media data.

Media device with enhanced data retrieval feature

Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for collaboratively managing a playlist of media items including a communications interface. The communications interface may be configured to receive a user feedback from each of a plurality of portable media devices and may include a processor configured to generate an updated playlist based on the user feedback. The user feedback may be related to a queued media item in a playlist.
