Publication number: 20240148264Abstract: A occupant detection and monitoring system has a sensor unit having a radio wave transmitter, a radio wave receiver, and a wireless transmitter configured to detect and receive vital signs of an occupant; a user interface having a microcontroller, a wireless receiver configured to receive the wireless signals transmitted from the sensor unit, a means for user input, and a network card; and a means for alerting occupants and third-parties to a triggering event; wherein the microcontroller, based upon logic, activates the alerting means at the triggering event. The sensor unit may be a camera that detects the presence of an individual and register their unique heart rhythm for identification purposes. This camera can be installed at the entry points of a home, behind the counter of a business near a cash register or at a bank or any other place that desires to use surveillance as a form of security. The sensor unit may be a light bulb that comprises the components of the sensor unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: Praesidium, Inc.Inventors: Seth Campbell, Richard Curtis Nordgran, Weston Brent Johnson, Paolo Focardi, Gian Franco Sacco, Jim Butler
