Abstract
Method and apparatus for measuring physiological conditions within a structure to generate a user interface with a representation of the physiological state from a vantage point and according to a direction of interest. Physiological data is generated by a sensor a human and a position of the human is determined via wireless communications with multiple reference point transceivers. An augmented virtual model viewing interface is generated with positional coordinates and physiological conditions.

A method of monitoring a human physiological condition in a structure, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) fixedly positioning two or more wireless transceivers to reference positions within the structure;
- b) positioning a first sensor comprising a biosensor on a human occupant of the structure, said first sensor capable of wireless communication with the two or more wireless transceivers, said first sensor operative to generate empirical data of a physiological condition of the human occupant;
- c) wirelessly communicating between the two or more wireless transceivers and the first sensor to generate a first data set comprising a first transmission time and a first receipt time;
- d) generating a first set of positional coordinates for the first sensor based upon the data set, the set of positional coordinates comprising a first angular coordinate and a distance at a first time (T1);
- e) with the first sensor, generating empirical data quantifying a physiological condition of the human occupant in the structure at the first time (T1);
- f) with the first sensor, generating empirical data quantifying a physiological condition of the human occupant in the structure at a second time (T2);
- g) wirelessly communicating between the two or more wireless transceivers and the first sensor to generate a second data set comprising a second transmission time and a second receipt time;
- h) generating a second set of positional coordinates for the first sensor based upon the second data set, the second set of positional coordinates comprising a second angular coordinate and a distance at T2;
- i) operating a controller to compare the physiological condition of the human occupant in the structure at T1 with the physiological condition of the human occupant in the structure at T2;
- h) operating the controller to determine whether the physiological condition in the structure at T1 is present at T2;
- and
- j) generating an augmented virtual model viewing interface comprising the first set of positional coordinates and the second set of position coordinates and the empirical data quantifying a physiological condition of the human occupant in the structure at a first time and the empirical data quantifying a physiological condition of the human occupant in the structure at a second time.
