Abstract
The invention relates to a shower safety system designed to enhance safety within bathing areas by monitoring posture for fall detection and responding with immediate safety measures such as water flow shutoff and emergency alert. Other aspects of the invention relate to data security via system communication architecture and computer vision through a distorted medium.
Claims18
A shower safety system comprising:
- a sensor system configured to collect data in an area, in which said area consists of a bathing area, toileting area, washroom area, bathroom area, or a combination thereof,
- a processing system programmed to process data from said sensor system, in which said processing system is capable of deriving a conclusion or deriving multiple conclusions based on said data, of which said conclusion or said conclusions includes human pose estimation, determination of human posture, determination of human movement, detection of a specific human pose, detection of multiple specific human poses, detection of a human fall, or a combination thereof,
- a response system, of which said response system is separate from, connected to, or embedded within said processing system, in which said response system is configured to activate a response measure or activate multiple response measures upon said conclusion or upon said conclusions;
- or a combination thereof.
1 more element
A system architecture comprising:
- processing hardware configured for processing data, wherein said processing hardware is capable of deriving at least one conclusion from said data;
- communication hardware interfacing electronically with said processing hardware, wherein said interface enables said communication hardware to receive knowledge of said conclusion via at least one trigger signal;
- wherein said interface physically renders said communication hardware incapable through programmatic means of reading said data, writing data to said processing hardware, requesting data from said processing hardware, or a combination thereof.
A system comprising:
- a sensor system configured to collect image data, in which said image data is collected through a medium, in which said medium renders said image data blurred, hazed, clouded, obstructed, partially obstructed, or a combination thereof;
- a computer vision system configured to process said image data;
- or a combination of said sensor system and said computer vision system.
