    Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for detecting and monitoring fall-down actions and other transient motions are disclosed. In one example, a system for monitoring a transient motion in a venue is disclosed. The system comprises a transmitter, a receiver, and a transient motion monitor. The transmitter is located at a first position in the venue for transmitting a wireless signal through a wireless multipath channel impacted by the transient motion of an object in the venue. The receiver is located at a second position in the venue for: receiving the wireless signal through the wireless multipath channel, and obtaining a time series of channel information (CI) of the wireless multipath channel based on the wireless signal. The transient motion monitor is configured for: monitoring the transient motion based on the time series of CI, and triggering a response action based on the monitored transient motion.

  • Patent number: 10270642
    Abstract: Method, apparatus and systems for object tracking are disclosed. In one example, a disclosed method includes obtaining at least one time series of channel information (CI) of a wireless multipath channel using: a processor, a memory communicatively coupled with the processor and a set of instructions stored in the memory. The at least one time series of channel information is extracted from a wireless signal transmitted between a Type 1 heterogeneous wireless device at a first position in a venue and a Type 2 heterogeneous wireless device at a second position in the venue through the wireless multipath channel. The wireless multipath channel is impacted by a current movement of an object in the venue. The method also includes determining a spatial-temporal information of the object based on at least one of: the at least one time series of channel information, a time parameter associated with the current movement, and a past spatial-temporal information of the object.

  • Publication number: 20190097865
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for recognizing and classifying events in a venue based on a wireless signal are disclosed. In one example, a disclosed system comprises a first transmitter, a second transmitter, at least one first receiver, at least one second receiver, and an event recognition engine, in the venue. The first transmitter transmits a training wireless signal through a wireless multipath channel impacted by a known event in the venue in a training time period associated with the known event. Each first receiver receives asynchronously the training wireless signal, and obtains, asynchronously based on the training wireless signal, at least one time series of training channel information of the wireless multipath channel between the first receiver and the first transmitter. The second transmitter transmits a current wireless signal through the wireless multipath channel impacted by a current event in a current time period associated with the current event.
