  • Patent number: 10944830
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a first plurality of electrical signals from presence sensors disposed in a physical space, generating background sensor values mapped to a coordinate system for the physical space, receiving, a second plurality of electrical signals from the presence sensors, and generating, based on the second plurality of electrical signals from the presence sensors, sensor values mapped to the coordinate system for the physical space at the first time and the second time. The method further includes subtracting the background sensor values from the sensor values mapped to the coordinate system to obtain measurement data, associating the measurement data with a moving object belonging to an object class, determining a track, based on the measurement data, the track comprising a link between a first node and another node in the coordinate system for the physical space; and outputting, a control signal associated with the determined track.

  • Publication number: 20190204168
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method of controlling a self-configuring sensor array includes receiving a plurality of contact signals from the plurality of respective contact sensors. In some embodiments, the method further includes generating one or more paths based on a temporal relationship amongst the plurality of contact signals. In some embodiments, the generating is further based on a spatial relationship between the respective contact sensors. In some embodiments, the method further includes generating a first entity profile based on the one or more paths. In some embodiments, the method includes generating a tile map based on a plurality of respective tile profiles received by a master control device.

  • Publication number: 20190208018
    Abstract: A method of operating a master control device includes obtaining, at a input-output interface, first measurement data for a zone of a physical space based on signals from a first group of presence sensors covering the zone of the physical space, obtaining, at the input-output interface, second measurement data for the zone of the physical space, based on signals from a second group of presence sensors covering the zone of the physical space and identifying, based on the first or second measurement data, one or more moving objects within the zone of the physical space. The method further includes associating, each of the one or more moving objects with an object class, determining, for each of the one or more moving objects, a track within a coordinate system for the physical space and outputting, a signal associated with the one or more determined tracks.
