APPARATUS FOR DETERMINATION OF A PASSENGER STATUS; SYSTEM FOR DETERMINATION OF A PASSENGER STATUS, METHOD FOR DETERMINING A PASSENGER STATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18271307 titled 'APPARATUS FOR DETERMINATION OF A PASSENGER STATUS; SYSTEM FOR DETERMINATION OF A PASSENGER STATUS, METHOD FOR DETERMINING A PASSENGER STATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes an apparatus for determining a passenger status based on beacon signals received from moving and stationary objects.
- The apparatus includes a data storage unit, a beacon ID translation module, a beacon signal recognition module, and a passenger status presumption module.
- The beacon ID translation module reads position IDs and attributes of received beacon signals.
- The beacon signal recognition module determines the signal strength of beacon signals from moving and stationary objects.
- The passenger status presumption module uses this information to determine the passenger's current status.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Utilizes beacon signals to determine passenger status
- Considers signal strength from moving and stationary objects
- Presumes passenger status based on signal strength and previous status
Potential Applications:
- Transportation systems
- Passenger monitoring in public spaces
- Security and surveillance applications
Problems Solved:
- Efficiently determining passenger status
- Enhancing passenger safety and security
- Automating passenger monitoring processes
Benefits:
- Improved passenger tracking
- Enhanced security measures
- Streamlined passenger management
Commercial Applications:
Title: Beacon-Based Passenger Status Determination System

Questions about Beacon-Based Passenger Status Determination System:
1. How does this technology improve passenger tracking and monitoring? 2. What are the potential security implications of using beacon signals for passenger status determination?
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus for determining a passenger status comprising a data storage unit ; a beacon ID translation module configured to read a position ID and an attribute of a received beacon signal; a beacon signal recognition module configured to determine a moving object beacon signal strength of beacon signals received from beacons installed on a moving object and a stationary object beacon signal strength of beacon signals received from beacons installed on a stationary object, wherein the beacon signal strength is the sum of the number of beacon IDs stored in a beacon signal management table ; a passenger status presumption module configured to determine a passenger current status based on the moving object beacon signal strength, the stationary object beacon signal strength and/or a previous passenger status.
