Publication number: 20240031847Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for determination of user presence and absence using WiFi connections. Reports may be received from WiFi access points in an environment. The reports may include an identifier of a WiFi device, an indication of a connection to or disconnection from a WiFi access point, a time of the connection or disconnection, and an identifier of the WiFi access point. A connection sequence for the WiFi device may be generated from the reports. Whether the WiFi device is present in or absent from the environment as of a specified time may be determined based on the connection sequence. An indication of presence for a user associated with the WiFi device may generated if the WiFi device is present in the environment. An indication of absence for the user associated with the WiFi device may be generated if the WiFi device is absent from the environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Marci Meingast, Andrew Axley, Daniele Midi

Patent number: 11748993Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for anomalous path detection within cameras' fields of view. Video of the field of view of a camera in an environment may be received from the camera. A person may be detected in the video. Motion of the person in the video may be tracked to generate a motion path. Contextual data for the motion path may be received. The motion path and contextual data may be stored in a camera training data set. A camera model for the camera and the field of view may be generated by inputting the camera training data set to a machine learning system.

Publication number: 20230208672Abstract: A method for detecting a movement path in a monitored environment generates a first movement path record by collecting first node information for each of a first series of nodes including at least one of a sensor ID or a device ID, and a trigger time. The method further determines a first movement path total duration time from a difference between a time of the ending node and a time of the starting node of the first series of nodes. The method further stores the first movement path record and subsequently compares a second movement path record with the first movement path record by comparing the first node information with second node information for each of a second series of nodes of the second movement path record, and the first movement path total duration time with a second movement path total duration time.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Marci Meingast, Adam Cutbill
