SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACCURATELY SENSING USER LOCATION IN AN IOT SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method are described for accurately detecting a location of a wireless device. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: collecting signal strength data indicating signal strength between a wireless device and a plurality of IoT devices and/or IoT hubs in a user's home; associating the signal strength data with locations in the user's home and storing the association in a location database; and determining a current location of the wireless device by comparing the signal strength data in the database with current signal strength data indicating current signal strength between the wireless device and the plurality of IoT devices and/or IoT hubs.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a system calibration module to collect signal strength data indicating signal strength between a wireless device and a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and/or IoT hubs within a user's home or business, the system calibration module to associate the signal strength data with locations in the user's home or business and store the association in a location database; and a signal strength analysis module to determine a current location of the wireless device by comparing the signal strength data in the location database with current signal strength data indicating current signal strength between the wireless device and one or more of the plurality of IoT devices and/or IoT hubs.
