  • Publication number: 20250013964
    Abstract: A team monitoring system receives data for determining user engagement for each team member. A team engagement metric is determined for the entire team based on individual user engagement correlated to discreet portions of a task. User engagement may be determined based on arm/hand positions, gaze and pupil dynamics, and voice intonation. Individual user engagement is weighted according to a task priority for that individual user at the time. The system determines a team composition based on individual user engagement during a task and team engagement during the task; even where the users have not engaged as a team during the task.

  • Publication number: 20230337808
    Abstract: A method for controlling a touchless lavatory is disclosed herein. The method includes collecting, by a processor, sensor data from a sensor, the sensor data including an ambient light measurement and an indication of motion, aggregating, by the processor, the collected sensor data for a time window, extracting, by the processor, features from the aggregated sensor data, and determining, by the processor, a probability of an activity occurring based on the extracted features. The method further includes activating, by the processor, a motor based on the determining that the activity has a high probability of occurring.
