Patent number: 11234675Abstract: A sonar-based contactless monitoring system comprises a sonar system (308), a contactless sensing assembly (310), and a controller (302) configured to read out measurements transmitted by the sonar system and the contactless sensing assembly and calculate posture and activity of a subject. The sonar system may include a microphone (314) and a speaker (316), wherein the microphone is configured to sense a first acoustic signal in a frequency range associated with the sound and/or motion made by the subject, and a second acoustic signal in a frequency range associated with the reflection of an acoustic signal transmitted by the speaker. The contactless sensing assembly senses at least one of vital and environmental conditions, such as a heart rate, respiratory rate, activity, snoring, subject's position, and subject's movement, or noise level, weather condition, light exposure, time and radiation level.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2017Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Maurizio Bocca, Fabian Henrici

Patent number: 10629040Abstract: The intrusion detection system includes a base station and a plurality of sensor nodes communicatively coupled to the base station. The intrusion detection system may be connected to other client devices via a server or a network. The base station sets at least one of the sensor nodes into either a partial system activation mode or full system activation mode. The base station triggers an alarm event including information to a stakeholder in the event an abnormal movement or behavior is detected. The base station transmits a message to the sensor node and deactivates the sensor node. The sensor node return to low power mode.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2016Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Abtin Keshavarzian, Christian Peters, Maurizio Bocca

Patent number: 10532719Abstract: A Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) passive vehicle access control system integrated into a vehicle and an external device to defend the system against relay attacks is provided. The system includes at least one of a motion detector, a microprocessor, or a barometric pressure sensor. The motion detector is configured to detect and distinguish various types of motion and vibration. The motion detector is further configured to distinguish between a true motion event and a false motion event. The microprocessor comprises a set of computer executable instructions including a TX power profiling is capable of modulating the transmitted (TX) power level to create at a receiving end of a communication having link in the vehicle a RX power level (RSS) profile that serves as an authentication.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2017Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Maurizio Bocca, Vivek Jain, Christoph Lang, Huang Lee
