Abstract
A method and apparatus for event detection utilizing data from a multiplicity of sensors is provided. In a first step, actual detections from a plurality of sensors identified with predetermined sensor sequences, each indicative of an event, are compared with the predetermined sensor sequence to determine whether the times between the actual detections match the times allocated between detections for any predetermined sensor sequence. If a match occurs, the event indicated by the matching predetermined sensor sequence is provided. If no match occurs, a second step is initiated wherein the actual detections are compared to a predetermined script file which defines criteria for a plurality of events. If this criteria is matched, the event for which the criteria is provided is indicated.
