Method and system for activity recognition and behaviour analysis

A system (102), comprising:

• a memory (202) storing instructions;
• one or more Input/Output (I/O) interfaces (206);
• and
• one or more hardware processors (204) coupled to the memory (202) via the one or more I/O interfaces (206), wherein the one or more hardware processors (204) are configured by the instructions to:
• seamlessly sense via Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader (104) operating in a low power mode, sensor data received from at least one battery less primary sensor (106) associated with at least one primary object, wherein usage of the at least one primary object is mandatory to initiate a primary activity associated with an ADL among a plurality of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs);
• detect mobility of a subject to initiate the primary activity based on variation in the sensor data received from the at least one battery less primary sensor (106) associated with the at least one primary object, wherein the variation in the sensor data indicates proximity of the subject with the at least one primary object;
• trigger the RFID reader (104) to switch from the low power mode to a high power mode on detection of mobility of the subject for the primary activity, wherein the RFID reader in the high power mode receives RF data from:
• at least one battery less wearable tag (108) worn by the subject, wherein the at least one battery less wearable tag comprises a RF powered passive accelerometer;
• and
• a plurality of passive RFID tags (110) tagged to a plurality of secondary objects placed in proximity to the at least one primary object, wherein one or more secondary objects from a plurality of secondary objects, required to be used by the subject while performing one or more secondary activities associated with each ADL among the plurality of ADLs to perform each ADL without presence of anomaly, are predefined;
• analyze the RF data received from the at least one battery less wearable tag (108) over a plurality of window intervals to tag the primary activity of the subject, for each window interval, to an ADL among the plurality of ADLs;
• analyzing, via the one or more hardware processors the RF data received from the plurality of passive RFID tags (110) of interest over each window interval to detect the one or more secondary activities performed by the subject using the one or more secondary objects and interaction of the subject with the one or more secondary objects corresponding to the tagged primary activity;
• and
• determining, via the one or more hardware processors, presence of anomaly in each of the window interval if the tagged primary activity of each window interval and the interaction of the subject with the one or more secondary objects in the detected one or more secondary activities for each window interval maps to a predefined primary object and secondary object usage criteria, wherein the predefined criteria is set for confirming expected execution of the ADL among the plurality of ADLs.

A non-transitory computer readable medium, the non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions which, when executed by a hardware processor, cause the hardware processor to perform actions comprising:

• seamlessly sensing using a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader operating in a low power mode, sensor data received from at least one battery less primary sensor associated with at least one primary object, wherein usage of the at least one primary object is mandatory to initiate a primary activity associated with an ADL among a plurality of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs);
• detecting mobility of a subject to initiate the primary activity based on variation in the sensor data received from the at least one battery less primary sensor associated with the at least one primary object, wherein the variation in the sensor data indicates proximity of the subject with the at least one primary object;
• triggering the RFID reader to switch from the low power mode to a high power mode on detection of mobility of the subject for the primary activity, wherein the RFID reader in the high power mode receives RF data from:
• at least one battery less wearable tag worn by the subject, and wherein the at least one battery less wearable tag comprises a RF powered passive accelerometer;
• and
• a plurality of passive RFID tags tagged to a plurality of secondary objects placed in proximity to the at least one primary object, wherein one or more secondary objects from a plurality of secondary objects, required to be used by the subject while performing one or more secondary activities associated with each ADL among the plurality of ADLs to perform each ADL without presence of anomaly, are predefined;
