Abstract
A premises monitoring system is provided. The system includes a control device configured to communicate an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The control device receives, from the UAV, a video depicting a person detected at the premises, the video having a duration, the duration having a pre-configured time period before a detection of the person and a pre-configured time period after the detection of the person. The control device determines, based on the video, a physical orientation of the person. The control device initiates an action based on the physical orientation of the person.
Claims20
A premises monitoring system for monitoring a premises, the premises monitoring system comprising:
- an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configured to patrol the premises according to a patrol schedule;
- a control device in communication with the UAV, the control device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the control device to:
- receive, from the UAV, a video depicting a person detected at the premises, the video having a duration, the duration having a pre-configured time period before a detection of the person and a pre-configured time period after the detection of the person;
- determine, based on the video:
- a physical orientation of the person, the physical orientation comprising at least one of laying down, standing, sitting, or leaning;
- a change in the physical orientation of the person from a first position to a second position, the change in the physical orientation of the person being associated with a change in severity of a condition of the person;
- and
- a maximum time the person has been in the physical orientation;
- modify the patrol schedule based on the physical orientation of the person;
- and
- generate an alert based on the physical orientation of the person, the change in the physical orientation of the person, and the maximum time the person has been in the physical orientation.
A premises monitoring system for monitoring a premises, the premises monitoring system comprising:
- a control device configured to communicate with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the control device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the control device to:
- receive, from the UAV, a video depicting a person detected at the premises, the video having a duration, the duration comprising a pre-configured time period before a detection of the person and a pre-configured time period after the detection of the person;

A method implemented by a control device of a premises monitoring system located at a premises, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a UAV located at the premises, a video depicting a person detected at the premises, the video having a duration, the duration comprising a pre-configured time period before a detection of the person and a pre-configured time period after the detection of the person;
- determining, based on the video, a physical orientation of the person;
- and
- initiate an action based on the physical orientation of the person.
