  • Publication number: 20240125889
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method of determining a location of a user within an indoor space, includes emitting a radiofrequency signal into the indoor space, receiving backscattered training radiofrequency signals, including multipath, for at least one location within the indoor space, converting the received training signals into a point cloud for each location of the at least one location, assigning a signature for each location based on the point cloud for each location, receiving additional radiofrequency signals, including multipath, converting the additional radiofrequency signals into an additional point cloud, and determining a location of the user by comparing the additional point cloud to the assigned signatures.

  • Patent number: 11948441
    Abstract: In an example, the present invention provides a method for identifying a status of a user and providing feedback to the user based upon the status of the user. In an example, the method includes generating an electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) signal from an RF generating device and emitting the electromagnetic RF signal into a spatial region of a user. In an example, the method includes detecting a back scattered RF signal, using an RF receiving antenna, from the user and converting the back scattered RF signal from an RF analog signal into an RF digital signal.

  • Publication number: 20230386673
    Abstract: In an example, the technique also detects and measures vital signs of each human target by continuous, non-intrusive method. In an example, the vital signs of interest include a heart rate and a respiratory rate, which can provide valuable information about the human's wellness. Additionally, the heart rate and respiratory rate can also be used to identify a particular person, if more than two target humans living in a home. Of course, there can be other variations, modifications, and alternatives.

  • Publication number: 20220236395
    Abstract: In an example, the present invention provides an UWB and FMCW sensor apparatus. The apparatus has at least three transceiver modules. Each of the transceiver modules has an antenna array to be configured to sense a back scatter of electromagnetic energy from spatial location of a zero degree location in relation to a mid point of the device through a 360 degrees range where each antenna array is configured to sense a 120 degree range. In an example, each of the antenna array has a support member, a plurality of receiving antenna, a receiver integrated circuit coupled to the receiving antenna and configured to receive an incoming rf signal and covert the incoming rf signal into a base band signal, and a plurality of transmitting antenna. Each antenna array has a transmitter integrated circuit coupled to the transmitting antenna to transmit an outgoing rf signal.
