Abstract: In a general aspect, a method is presented for detecting a location of motion using wireless signals and differences between topologies of wireless connectivity. The method includes storing first motion-sensing statistics derived from first motion-sensing data associated with a first time frame. The first motion-sensing data is associated with a first motion-sensing topology of a wireless mesh network. The method also includes obtaining second motion-sensing statistics derived from second motion-sensing data associated with a second, subsequent time frame. The second motion-sensing data is associated with a second, distinct motion-sensing topology of the wireless mesh network.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence system monitors and records usage of a set of mobile devices that have been “paired” or grouped together. The system, over time, accumulates a history of times and locations associated with events that occur with respect to the devices. From this history, the system develops a usage model for the devices. The system, if it detects current usage diverges significantly from an expected usage, performs responsive actions which may include: notifying a user, via a paired device, that the mobile device may be lost or misplaced; command the “lost” mobile device to enter a reduced power state, to prolong battery life; and/or command the “lost” device to emit audible and/or visible signals intended to facilitate locating the device. In some embodiments, the system predicts an imminent loss of the device before it becomes lost, based on current usage vs. expected usage embodied in the model.
