Audio gait detection and identification

An apparatus comprising:

• a substrate;
• and
• logic coupled to the substrate, wherein the logic includes one or more of configurable logic or fixed-functionality hardware logic, the logic coupled to the substrate to:
• pre-process audio input data from one or more microphones to combine and strengthen an audio gait signal;
• detect a sound of one or more footsteps from the audio gait signal;
• and
• identify a person associated with the one or more footsteps using a set of trained footstep identification (ID) classifiers, wherein each trained footstep ID classifier is to be mapped to the gait of the person in the home based on a particular combination of personal profile, footwear, and floor surface within the home.

A method comprising:

• pre-processing audio input data from one or more microphones to combine and strengthen an audio gait signal;
• detecting a sound of one or more footsteps from the audio gait signal;
• and
• identifying the person associated with the one or more footsteps using a set of trained footstep identification (ID) classifiers, wherein each trained footstep ID classifier is mapped to the gait of the person in the home based on a particular combination of personal profile, footwear, and floor surface within the home.

At least one non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising a set of instructions, which when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• pre-process audio input data from one or more microphones to combine and strengthen an audio gait signal;
• detect a sound of one or more footsteps from the audio gait signal;
• and
• identify a person associated with the one or more footsteps using a set of trained footstep identification (ID) classifiers, wherein each trained footstep ID classifier is to be mapped to the gait of the person in the home based on a particular combination of personal profile, footwear, and floor surface within the home.
