Abstract
A computer implemented method for monitoring personnel activity in a work environment includes receiving motion sensor data generated by a motion sensing device that is carried on or by a worker, determining a location of the motion sensing device, detecting a lack of expected movement of the motion sensing device, and generating an alert based on the location of the motion sensing device and the detected lack of expected movement of the motion sensing device. Related systems and computer program products are disclosed.
Claims21
A computer implemented method for monitoring personnel activity in a work environment, comprising:
- receiving motion sensor data generated by a motion sensing device that is carried on or by a worker;
- determining a location of the motion sensing device;
- detecting a lack of expected movement of the motion sensing device;
- and
- generating an alert based on the location of the motion sensing device and the detected lack of expected movement of the motion sensing device, wherein a level of the alert is based on the location of the motion sensing device.
(canceled)
A system for monitoring personnel activity in a work environment, comprising:
- a processing circuit;
- and
- a memory circuit coupled to the processing circuit, wherein the memory circuit comprises computer-readable program instructions that, when executed by the processing circuit, cause the system to perform operations of:
- receiving motion sensor data generated by a motion sensing device that is carried on or by a worker;
- receiving non-motion sensor data generated by a non-motion sensing device that is carried on or by the worker;
- detecting a lack of expected movement of the motion sensing device;
- determining a location of the motion sensing device;
- and
- generating an alert based on the location of the motion sensing device and the detected lack of expected movement of the motion sensing device, wherein the alert is generated in response to the non-motion sensor data in combination with the motion sensor data and the location of the motion sensing device.
A computer program product for monitoring personnel activity in a work environment, the computer program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied in the medium, the computer readable program code comprising:
- computer readable program code configured to receive motion sensor data generated by a motion sensing device that is carried on or by a worker;
- computer readable program code configured to detect a lack of expected movement of the motion sensing device;
- computer readable program code configured to apply a set of non-motion rules to the detected lack of expected movement;
- computer readable program code configured to determine a location of the motion sensing device;
- and
- computer readable program code configured to generate an alert based on the location of the motion sensing device, the detected lack of expected movement of the motion sensing device, and the applied set of non-motion rules.
