Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting the presence of a body in a network without fiducial elements, using signal absorption, and signal forward and reflected backscatter of RF waves caused by the presence of a biological mass in a communications network.
Claims20
A method for detecting motion within a space, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of transceivers within a space;
- providing a processor communicably coupled to each transceiver in said plurality of transceivers;
- at a first time, a first transceiver and a second transceiver in said plurality of transceivers each receiving an initial set of wireless signals from a third transceiver in said plurality of transceivers;
- said processor receiving an initial set of signal data from said first transceiver, said initial set of signal data from said first transceiver comprising data about the properties of said initial set of wireless signals as received by said first transceiver;
- said processor receiving an initial set of signal data from said second transceiver, said initial set of signal data from said second transceiver comprising data about the properties of said initial set of wireless signals as received by said second transceiver;
- said processor creating an initial signal profile based at least in part on said wireless signal properties in said initial set of signal data from said first transceiver and said initial set of signal data from said second transceiver;
- at a second time, said first transceiver and said second transceiver each receiving a new set of wireless signals from said third transceiver;
- said processor receiving a new set of signal data from said first transceiver, said new set of signal data from said first transceiver comprising data about the properties of said new set of wireless signals as received by said first transceiver;
- said processor receiving a new set of signal data from said second transceiver, said new set of signal data from said second transceiver comprising data about the properties of said new set of wireless signals as received by said second transceiver;
- said processor creating a new signal profile based at least in part on said wireless signal properties in said new set of signal data from said first transceiver and said new set of signal data from said second transceiver;
- and
- said processor comparing said new signal profile to said initial signal profile to detect motion of an object within said space between said first time and said second time.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that are operable when executed by a processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an initial set of signal data from a first transceiver and an initial set of signal data from a second transceiver, said initial set of signal data from said first transceiver comprising data about properties of an initial set of wireless signals transmitted from a third transceiver as received by said first transceiver, and said initial set of signal data from said second transceiver comprising data about properties of said initial set of wireless signals transmitted from said third transceiver as received by said second transceiver;
- creating an initial signal profile based at least in part on said wireless signal properties in said initial set of signal data from said first transceiver and said initial set of signal data from said second transceiver;
- receiving a new set of signal data from a first transceiver and a new set of signal data from a second transceiver, said new set of signal data from said first transceiver comprising data about properties of a new set of wireless signals transmitted from a third transceiver as received by said first transceiver, and said new set of signal data from said second transceiver comprising data about properties of said new set of wireless signals transmitted from said third transceiver as received said second transceiver;
- creating a new signal profile based at least in part on said wireless signal properties in said new set of signal data from said first transceiver and said new set of signal data from said second transceiver;
- comparing said new signal profile to said initial signal profile to detect motion of an object within said space.
