Abstract:
A system and method for detecting human intruders while rejecting/ignoring an occupant's registered pet. An object detection system is configured to detect an object that is present in a monitored area and generate a signal output relative to the type of object. A signature processor is configured to receive the generated signal output and produce an object signature, and compare a threshold signature to the object signature, wherein the threshold signature is generated using a photograph of a reserved object, and wherein the object detection system rejects the detected object when the object signature is determined to be similar to the threshold signatures.
Abstract:
A system and method is provided for the control of a network of devices wherein each device of the networked devices provides for the operation of a sensor such as an accelerometer, processor and communication element within each device, and network and/or cloud based processing and storage, to process collected data to permit detection and predictive analysis of traffic patterns, weather patterns and other forces of nature. The system and method can analyze duration and magnitude of vibration signals, and considering maps and known locations of devices, tracks and highways and historical data regarding each, use machine learning techniques to accurately classify the motion and provide real-time and predictive analysis.
Abstract:
A security system includes a plurality of sensors to detect entry into a premises by an unauthorized party and to detect a location of the unauthorized party through at least a portion of the premises, a storage component to store a log of the detected location of the unauthorized party, an audio component to audibly announce the detected location of the unauthorized party, and a processor to control the audio component to announce the detected location at predetermined intervals or upon a change in the detected location of the unauthorized party.
Abstract:
An image of at least a portion of a room may be received, the image of the room comprising an image of a sensor mounted in the room. At least one optical parameter related to the image of the room may also be received. A distance may be determined between the sensor and a camera that captured the image of the room, wherein the determination of the distance is based at least in part on the optical parameters and on known physical dimensions of the sensor. A sensitivity requirement of the sensor may be determined, based on the distance. The determined sensitivity may be sent to control logic of the sensor.
Abstract:
Systems and techniques are provided for occupancy based volume adjustment. A signal including detected locations for several persons may be received. An occupancy model may be generated based on the detected locations. A volume adjustment for a speaker may be generated based on the occupancy model and a target sound level range for each of the detected locations. The volume of the speaker may be adjusted based on the volume adjustment. A signal including a detected location of one other person may be received. A location of other speakers may be received. The occupancy model may be generated based on the detected location of the one other person. The speaker may be determined to be closer to the one other person than any of the other speakers. The volume adjustment for the speaker may be generated based in part on the location of the one other person.
Abstract:
A system and method for automatic path light control based on a detected size and classification of motion around the device using passive infrared (PIR) sensor technologies and distributed classification algorithms, and on detected light levels in and around the path area using ambient light sensor (ALS) technologies. By using such sensor data, the path light does not need to be maintained at a fixed value, which may be inadequate or inefficient at times, nor require constant user adjustments. Implementations of the disclosed subject matter enable automatic path light control that can be dynamic and automatically adjusted to fit the environment, the current user characteristics and the current user movements through the environment.

Abstract:
Systems and methods of using active infrared (AIR) sensors to map a room of a home or building and determine whether an external portal (e.g., window and/or door) of the room is open or closed are provided. In particular, the systems and methods include outputting infrared (IR) light from an IR light source of an active infrared (AIR) sensor, receiving reflected IR light with a light sensor, and determining, with a processor coupled to the light sensor, whether a window of a room is open according to the received reflected IR light.
