Problems solved by technology
These known systems often do not accurately reflect the true daytime and nighttime patterns of occupants
Moreover, occupants often fail to fulfill their responsibility to indicate whether they are home or away, making these known systems alarms with high error rates and low sensitivity

Embodiment Construction
[0021] Referring to FIG. 1 , an activity monitoring system 10 is shown that includes an activity sensor 14 , an exterior door sensor 15 , a communication relay panel 18 and a remote monitoring center 22 . The activity monitoring system 10 has no mechanism for interfering in the home 12 or any of the home's 12 subsystems (appliances, water, lights, etc.). If there is any intervention in the home 12, it can be done by communication from outside the resident with the home of the resident 12, such as via a visit or a telephone call from a caregiver 38 or other suitable person such as an occupational emergency response. Also, a speakerphone may be included in the system 10 in communication with the central monitoring station to allow the occupant to call for assistance after pressing the old style panic button. Sensors 14 include motion sensors, interior door sensors, cabinet sensors, kitchen sensors, and appliance sensors, as well as any other suitable for continuously collecting ...

The present invention relates to a system and method for monitoring the activity of a single occupant to distinguish between normal and abnormal activity. Various sensors distributed throughout the home collect data about the activities in the home. The data is passed to a remote monitoring center and sorted into a database according to the applicable time slot. The slots for a 24-hour time period are a minimum of 3 and can be as many as 48 or more. Create a historical activity timeline and add a buffer time to the maximum historical activity timeline or deviate from the maximum historical activity timeline by a buffer time. If new data points come in beyond the maximum historical activity timeline and buffer time, a warning is issued indicating that the activity is abnormal.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for monitoring the indoor activities of persons living alone. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system and method for determining whether the activity of a single-occupant of interest is abnormal or normal. Background technique [0002] With medical advances and increased attention to proper nutrition and exercise, people in Western societies are living longer. For example, the number of elderly people living in the United States is growing. And as baby boomers age, the number of older Americans will grow significantly in the next few decades. Furthermore, growing awareness and understanding of various mental and physical disabilities has brought about an increase in the number of people with diminished mental and / or physical abilities living alone. [0003] Along with the growth of the elderly and disabled living alone comes anxieties about the safety and security of...
