Detecting of patterns of activity based on identified presence detection

A method comprising:

• detecting a client device in a vicinity of a premises;
• receiving, subsequent to the client device being detected in the vicinity of the premises, a measured physical characteristic measured by a non-video and non-audio sensor device disposed within the premises;
• retrieving a user profile stored for a user associated with the client device, the user profile comprising one or more parameters describing physical characteristics of the user;
• determining whether a stored physical characteristic within the user profile matches the measured physical characteristic measured by the non-video and non-audio sensor device;
• determining, responsive to the stored physical characteristic matching the measured physical characteristic, a historical pattern associated with a routine behavior of the user, wherein the historical pattern is a series of repeated actions comprising a user input causing one or more premises devices to perform a particular operation at a plurality of first points in time;
• predicting a next action of the user to be the particular operation at a second point in time based on the historical pattern;
• and
• generating one or more signals to operate the one or more premises devices to reproduce the particular operation at the second point in time.

A computer program product tangibly stored on a computer readable hardware storage device of a computing device comprising a processor, the computer program product comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:

• detect a client device in a vicinity of a premises;
• receive, subsequent to the client device being detected in the vicinity of the premises, a measured physical characteristic measured by a non-video and non-audio sensor device disposed within the premises;
• retrieve a user profile stored for a user associated with the client device, the user profile comprising one or more parameters describing physical characteristics of the user;
• determine whether a stored physical characteristic within the user profile matches the measured physical characteristic measured by the non-video and non-audio sensor device;
• determine, responsive to the stored physical characteristic matching the measured physical characteristic, a historical pattern associated with a routine behavior of the user, wherein the historical pattern is a series of repeated actions comprising a user input causing one or more premises devices to perform a particular operation at a plurality of first points in time;
• predict a next action of the user to be the particular operation at a second point in time based on the historical pattern;
• and
• generate one or more signals to operate the one or more premises devices to reproduce the particular operation at the second point in time.
