Abstract
A method includes recording a first timestamp of a detection with a first sensor array of a first physical property of an event; determining a direction of the event, based on the detection with the first sensor array; recording a second timestamp of a detection with a second sensor array of a second physical property of the event; determining a distance of the event from the first and second sensor arrays, based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp; determining the event, based on the first physical property and the second physical property; and taking an action based on the event.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- recording a first timestamp of a detection with a first sensor array of a first physical property of an event;
- determining a direction of the event, based on the detection with the first sensor array;
- recording a second timestamp of a detection with a second sensor array of a second physical property of the event;
- determining a distance of the event from the first and second sensor arrays, based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp;
- determining the event, based on the first physical property and the second physical property;
- and
- taking an action based on the event.
One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media encoded with instructions that, when executed by one or more processing units, perform a method comprising:
- recording a first timestamp of a detection with a first sensor array of a first physical property of an event;
- determining a direction of the event, based on the detection with the first sensor array;
- recording a second timestamp of a detection with a second sensor array of a second physical property of the event;
- determining a distance of the event from the first and second sensor arrays, based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp;
- determining the event, based on the first physical property and the second physical property;
- and
- taking an action based on the event.
A system, comprising:
- a memory that stores instructions;
- a processing unit that executes the instructions;
- and
- a location determination module to
- record a first timestamp of a detection with a first sensor array of a first physical property of an event;
- determine a direction of the event, based on the detection with the first sensor array;
- record a second timestamp of a detection with a second sensor array of a second physical property of the event;
- determine a distance of the event from the first and second sensor arrays, based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp;
- determine the event, based on the first physical property and the second physical property;
- and
- take an action based on the event.
