    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques and configurations for a system to manage a home environment. In one instance, an apparatus for managing a home environment may be configured to detect variations in parameters of signals provided by RFID tags disposed in the home environment to monitor the home environment. The apparatus may identify one or more conditions of an area of the home environment in which the RFID tags are disposed, based at least in part on the variations in the one or more parameters and respective locations of the RFID tags in the area of the home environment. The apparatus may select one or more actions, from a plurality of actions associated with the home environment, based at least in part on the identified conditions. The selected actions may be performed to respond to the identified conditions. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: An electronic device for visual-saliency driven scene description is described. The electronic device includes a property identifier to identify properties of a target platform. The properties include target platform device type and target platform device count. The electronic device also includes a salient region detector to detect a salient region of an input in response to the target platform device type being a graphical processing unit (GPU) and the target platform device count being above one. The electronic device further includes a description provider to provide a fine-grained scene description for the salient region.

    Abstract: Sensors provisioned on a first device detect a movement of the first device corresponding to the first device changing position within an environment. Location information for the first device is updated based on the position change. A plurality of signals are detected, at the first device, from a second device in the environment, determine, and a distance between the first and second devices is determined based on each of the signals. From the signals, another change in position of the first device within the environment is determined and the location information updated for the first device. The movement is detected at the first device at an instance between two of the plurality of signals, and location information for the first device based on the first position change is updated prior to detection of the later of the two signals in the plurality of signals.

    Abstract: A system for early warning of non-compliance with an established workflow in a work area includes a radio frequency (RF) sensor configured to detect each of a plurality of RF signals located within the work area, and a monitoring system operably connected to the RF sensor. The monitoring system is configured to compare a temporal sequence of detected RF signals to a predetermined temporal sequence of the RF signals associated with the established workflow, and to determine whether a warning condition exists based on the comparison. The RF signals can be emitted by RFID tags within the work area, such as a patient room of a healthcare provider, and the RFID tags may be associated with a hand sanitizing station, an intravenous solution dispenser, and a healthcare provider staff member, each of which play a role in reducing the incidence of hospital-acquired infections through compliance with corresponding patient safety protocols.
