A system and method in a building or vehicle for an actuator operation in response to a sensor according to a control logic, the system comprising a router or a gateway communicating with a device associated with the sensor and a device associated with the actuator over in-building or in-vehicle networks, and an external Internet-connected control server associated with the control logic implementing a PID closed linear control loop and communicating with the router over external network for controlling the in-building or in-vehicle phenomenon. The sensor may be a microphone or a camera, and the system may include voice or image processing as part of the control logic. A redundancy is used by using multiple sensors or actuators, or by using multiple data paths over the building or vehicle internal or external communication. The networks may be wired or wireless, and may be BAN, PAN, LAN, WAN, or home networks.

A device, system and method notifying a selected recipient that a driver of a vehicle has exceeded a posted speed limit. The process includes receiving an indication of a violation from a computing device located in the vehicle, wherein the indication includes information about the vehicle. The indication is received in response to the computing device determining that the driver of the vehicle committed the violation based on the information about the vehicle and the posted speed limit associated with a roadway on which the vehicle is traveling. The process further includes instantly sending a notification to the selected recipient in response indication, wherein the notification indicates that the driver of the vehicle has committed the violation.

A vehicle monitoring system, comprises: at least a sensor; a head unit; at least a smart unit; wherein the sensor is capable of detecting vehicle status, generating a corresponding signal and then sending the generated signal to the head unit; the head unit is capable of receiving and analyzing the generated signal, and generating an analysis result, and they informing whether the vehicle status is abnormal by outputting a warning in the vehicle or sending the analysis result to the smart unit; the smart unit is authorized by the head unit and capable of displaying the analysis result.

A system for alerting drivers when a vehicle is or may be likely to be traveling in excess of a speed limit is provided. The system evaluates vehicle speed and provides custom warnings for various speed-related occurrences including a prediction that based on an instantaneous speed and acceleration the vehicle is about to exceed the speed limit. Haptic feedback from a wearable device such as a smart watch may preferably provide distinct intensities of warning between actual and predicted excursions over a limit.

A method and system may provide speed limit alerts to users driving in vehicles. A user's client device such as a smart-phone, smart watch, or tablet computer, may provide visual, audible, and/or haptic alerts to the user when the user exceeds a posted speed limit by more than a threshold amount. For example, when the user exceeds the posted speed limit by more than the threshold amount, the user's smart-phone may play a beeping sound and may announce the posted speed limit to the user. Moreover, the user's smart-phone may display an indication of the posted speed limit and a graphic notifying the user the she has exceeded the posted speed limit by more than the threshold amount. A map of a geographic area including the user's travelled route may also be displayed, with annotated areas along the route where the user exceeded the posted speed limit by more than the threshold amount.
