Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and system for providing biological detection. The system includes: at least one polymodal sensor for collectively detecting at least two conditions; and at least one node, each node including at least one of the polymodal sensors. The system also includes at least one data collector; each data collector communicating with one or more of the at least one node, and each data collector storing local information in a local knowledge base; and at least one server, each server communicating with one or more of the at least one data collector, and each server updating a global knowledge base. The at least two conditions are utilized in detecting the presence of biological activity from either one or both knowledge bases.
Claims19
A method of detecting biological activity, comprising:
- positioning one or more polymodal sensors that detect data relating to at least two conditions in at least one zone;
- accumulating the data in at least one data collector to generate a local knowledge base;
- gathering information from the at least one data collector in at least one server;
- and
- processing the information to generate a global knowledge base that is representative of at least one biological activity in at least one zone.
A detection system, comprising:
- at least one polymodal sensor monitoring at least two conditions;
- at least one node including the at least one polymodal sensor;
- at least one data collector in communication with at least one node, each data collector maintaining a local knowledge base of collected sensor data from the at least one node;
- at least one server, each server in communication with one or more of the at least one data collector, and each server updating a global knowledge base of collected sensor data from the at least one data collector;
- and
- wherein the at least two conditions are utilized in detecting the presence of biological activity from sensor data contained in the global knowledge base.
A detection system, comprising:
- at least one node, each node including at least two sensors for detecting at least one condition and each node generating a node signal related to at least one condition;
- at least one data collector, each data collector receiving at least one node signal from at least one node and storing local information in a local knowledge base and each data collector generating a data collector signal related to the information in the local knowledge base;
- and
- at least one server, each server receiving the data collector signal from at least one data collector and updating a global knowledge base;
- and
- wherein the at least one server analyzes at least two conditions maintained in the global knowledge base to determine the presence of biological activity.
