The present invention provides an automated user notification system for monitoring user items and notifying a user when selected conditions occur. A first portion of the notification system comprises a network operations center (NOC). The NOC stores user information about one or more user items and is further coupled to a plurality of communication devices that can automatically contact a user. A second portion of the notification system comprises at least one detector. The detector monitors one or more user items and provides efficiently encoded information regarding selected conditions of the user items to the NOC via a communication link. After the information is received and decoded by the NOC, the NOC automatically matches the received information to information stored at the NOC to determine if a condition exists about which the user should be notified.

A method for automatically providing status data regarding a user item, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a downstream data packet sent by a user to a remote device, the downstream data packet comprising a downstream message code; decoding the downstream message code to determine requested status data; obtaining at least a portion of the requested status data, the portion comprising a plurality of data types; encoding the portion in an upstream data packet, the upstream data packet comprising a plurality of content fields including at least one content field which comprises a second plurality of data types; and transmitting the upstream data packet from the remote device to the user. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the upstream data packet comprises a fixed-length data packet. 22. The method of claim 20, wherein the upstream data packet comprises a 15-digit data packet. 23. The method of claim 20, wherein one or more content fields comprise a location data field. 24. The method of claim 20, wherein one or more content fields comprise an alarm data field. 25. The method of claim 20, wherein the content field which comprises a second plurality of data types occupies approximately one byte of the upstream data packet. 26. The method of claim 20, further comprising a step of receiving a user item control command. 27. The method of claim 22, wherein the content field which comprises a second plurality of data types occupies two digits of the upstream data packet. 28. The method of claim 23, wherein the location data field comprises a 12-digit data field. 29. The method of claim 26, further comprising a step of controlling the user item according to the user item control command. 30. An apparatus for providing status data regarding a user item, the apparatus comprising: means for obtaining a first type of status data, a second type of status data and a third type of status data; means for encoding the first type of status data in a first data field of a fixed-length data packet and for encoding the second type of status data and the third type of status data in a second data field of the fixed-length data packet; and means for transmitting the data packet. 31.
