A surface covering device and method thereof

A surface covering device comprising:

• a tile;
• a base assembly,
• a plurality of tile connectors located between the tile and the base assembly for releasably connecting the tile to the base assembly,
• at least one capacitive sensor located on the tile, wherein the at least one capacitive sensor includes a plurality of capacitive pads that extends outwardly from the capacitive sensor to cover a section of the tile, and the capacitive sensor is configured to detect changes in capacitive data indicative of the presence of activity within a predetermined range of the capacitive sensor;
• an infrared sensor configured to receive infrared data;
• a capacitive controller communicatively coupled to an infrared controller configured for receiving the capacitive data and the infrared data from the capacitive sensor and infrared sensor respectively;
• a mesh controller configured to receive the capacitive data and the infrared data from the capacitive controller and infrared controller respectively,
• a wireless transceiver in data communication with the capacitive controller and the infrared controller, wherein the wireless transceiver is configured to transmit the capacitive data and the infrared data to a data analysis server, wherein the data analysis server is configured to determine an event based on the capacitive data and the infrared data.
