| abstract |
A system for remote non-intrusive occupant space monitoring. The system may have sensors and other mechanisms for non-intrusively obtaining information by capturing utility and communication signals, images, light, sound, environmental factors, background information, and so on, about a space and its occupants. The obtained information may be locally or remotely analyzed and modeled by a processor. Models of buildings, behavior, and power systems from the processor may be compared with pre-defined models to infer further information about the space and its occupants. Also, behavioral information may be obtained, inferred and/or learned. The models may be updated with the obtained, inferred and learned information. |
