Abstract
Multiple sensing network units are deployed overhead in a venue. Each unit supports a video system for detecting a level of activity in the venue, and one or more sensing systems, such as an RFID system for reading RFID tags in the venue and/or an ultrasonic locationing system for locating mobile devices in the venue, in response to the activity level detected by the video system. The performance of the sensing systems is adjusted and optimized in response to the detected activity level.
Claims20
An arrangement for sensing targets with improved performance in a venue, comprising:
- a network server;
- a video system deployed in the venue, the video system being operatively connected to, and controlled by, the network server, for detecting a level of activity in the venue;
- and
- a sensing system deployed in the venue, the sensing system being operatively connected to, and controlled by, the network server, for sensing the targets in the venue in response to the activity level detected by the video system.
A video-controlled arrangement for sensing targets with improved data capture performance in a venue, comprising:
- a video system deployed in the venue, for detecting a level of activity in the venue;
- and
- a sensing system deployed in the venue and operatively connected to the video system, for sensing, and capturing data from, the targets in the venue in response to the activity level detected by the video system.
A method of sensing targets with improved performance in a venue, comprising:
- deploying and operating a video system in the venue to detect a level of activity in the venue;
- and
- deploying and operating a sensing system in the venue to sense the targets in the venue in response to the activity level detected by the video system.
