Improved System For Recognition Of Human Actions

Technology Benefits

Observations are not limited to an environment that has been instrumented with cameras and other sensors --this enables continuous monitoring in natural environments (i.e. homes)Readily scalable approach thereby enabling the monitoring of increasingly smaller body movementsPower consumption is lower than comparable alternativesClassification of human actions are more robust and flexible

Technology Application

Medical care, for example quantitative study of treatment of Duchenne Muscular DystrophyAssisted living care, for example remote monitoring of elderly peopleAthletic training and fitness programs

Detailed Technology Description

None

Title: SYSTEM FOR DETECTION OF BODY MOTION
Usefulness: SYSTEM FOR DETECTION OF BODY MOTION
Summary: Method for obtaining data in a distributed sensor system that is used with a cell phone e.g. Apple iPhone (RTM: Internet-enabled multimedia mobile phone), Google gPhone (RTM: flagship smartphone), Nokia N800/900 (RTM: mobile computer with smartphone functions), personal digital assistant (PDA) and personal navigation device, for detecting action of a human body. Uses include but are not limited to monitor activities of elderly people, disabled people and chronically ill people in nursing homes and hospitals, hospital emergency room monitoring for nursing coverage, diagnosis of diseases e.g. Parkinson's disease, monitoring prisoners or solders, athletic training, monitoring patients in clinical drug studies, monitoring animal activities and machine monitoring.
Novelty: Data obtaining method for distributed sensor system for use with e.g. flagship smartphone for detecting human body action for e.g. diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, involves using local process to perform portion of data classification
