Abstract
Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for detecting presence using a presence sensor network. In some embodiments, a computer executing a presence service generates a user interface for display at a user device. The user interface can include a control that, when selected, generates room data defining a monitored location. The computer can obtain sensor identifier data that identifies a presence sensor located at the monitored location and a location of the presence sensor at the monitored location. The computer can provide the user interface to the user device to obtain the room data and obtain the room data. The computer also can store the room data and the sensor identifier data.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining, at a processor that executes a presence service, sensor identifier data that identifies a presence sensor that is located at a monitored location, the sensor identifier data comprising a first unique identifier associated with the presence sensor and data that defines a location of the presence sensor at the monitored location;
- storing, by the processor, the sensor identifier data;
- obtaining, by the processor, presence data associated with the monitored location, the presence data comprising a plurality of unique identifiers associated with a plurality of presence sensors located at the monitored location;
- comparing, by the processor, the first unique identifier to the presence data;
- and
- determining, by the processor, that an object is located at the monitored location in response to a determination that the first unique identifier is not included in the presence data.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising
- obtaining sensor identifier data that identifies a presence sensor that is located at a monitored location, the sensor identifier data comprising a first unique identifier associated with the presence sensor and data that defines a location of the presence sensor at the monitored location,
- storing the sensor identifier data,
- obtaining presence data associated with the monitored location, the presence data comprising a plurality of unique identifiers associated with a plurality of presence sensors located at the monitored location,
- comparing the first unique identifier to the presence data, and
- determining that an object is located at the monitored location in response to a determination that the first unique identifier is not included in the presence data.
A computer storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining sensor identifier data that identifies a presence sensor that is located at a monitored location, the sensor identifier data comprising a first unique identifier associated with the presence sensor and data that defines a location of the presence sensor at the monitored location;
- storing the sensor identifier data;
- obtaining presence data associated with the monitored location, the presence data comprising a plurality of unique identifiers associated with a plurality of presence sensors located at the monitored location;
- comparing the first unique identifier to the presence data;
- and
- determining that an object is located at the monitored location in response to a determination that the first unique identifier is not included in the presence data.
