Abstract: A system and method for classifying a type of calibration or maintenance event of a phone location unit (PLU) within a defined volume, based on at least one sensor, the method comprising: determining a position of the at least one mobile communication device relative to a frame of reference of the defined volume; obtaining at least one sensor measurement related to the at least one mobile communication device, from a sensor located on at least one of: the at least one mobile communication device, within the defined volume, or outside of the defined volume; and using a computer processor to classify the type of calibration or maintenance event of the PLU, into one of a plurality of predefined types of calibration or maintenance event, based on the position and the at least one sensor measurement.

Abstract: A system and method for classifying a type of interaction between a human user and a mobile communication device within a defined volume, based on multiple sensors. The method may include: determining a position of the mobile communication device relative to a frame of reference of the defined volume, based on: angle of arrival, time of flight, or received intensity of radio frequency (RF) signals transmitted by the mobile communication device and received by a phone location unit located within the defined volume configured to wirelessly communicate with the mobile communication device; obtaining at least one sensor measurement related to the mobile communication device from various non-RF sensors; repeating the obtaining, to yield a time series of sensor readings; and using a computer processor to classify the type of interaction into one of many predefined types of interactions, based on the position and the time series of sensor readings.

Abstract: A system and method for classifying a mode of operation of a mobile communication device within a defined volume, based on multiple sensors are provided herein. The method may include the following steps: determining a position of the mobile communication device relative to a frame of reference of the defined volume, based on any of: angle of arrival, time of flight, or received intensity of radio frequency (RF) signals transmitted by the mobile communication device and received by a phone location unit located within the defined volume configured to wirelessly communicate with the at least one mobile communication device; obtaining at least one sensor measurement related to the mobile communication device from various non-RF sensors; and using a computer processor to classify the mobile communication device into one of many predefined modes of operation of the mobile communication device, based on the position and the sensor readings.
