INTEGRATED SENSOR FRAMEWORK FOR MULTI-DEVICE COMMUNICATION AND INTEROPERABILITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18371990 titled 'INTEGRATED SENSOR FRAMEWORK FOR MULTI-DEVICE COMMUNICATION AND INTEROPERABILITY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and processes for an integrated sensor framework that can analyze sensor data from multiple devices to provide information about a physical environment and activities within it.

  • First electronic device receives sensor data from a second device.
  • Obtains representation of physical environment based on sensor data from both devices.
  • Identifies movement information of an object within the physical environment.
  • Determines event information corresponding to activity within the physical environment.
  • Provides output to the user based on the event information.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various fields such as smart homes, security systems, healthcare monitoring, and industrial automation.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently analyzing sensor data from multiple devices to provide a comprehensive understanding of a physical environment and activities within it.

Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and processes for an integrated sensor framework are provided. For example, a first electronic device receives at least one input including sensor data from a second device. A representation of a physical environment associated with the first electronic device is obtained based on sensor data from the first electronic device and the sensor data from the second device. Movement information corresponding to movement of an object within the physical environment is identified. Event information is determined corresponding to activity within the physical environment, wherein the event information is determined based on the identified movement information and the representation of the physical environment. Accordingly, an output is provided to the user based on the event information.
