Destination and duration of stay determination in a geographically bounded area

摘要

A method for destination and duration of stay determination in a geographically bounded area such as a smart home includes detecting movement by an identified individual in an origination location of a geographically bounded area and retrieving a contemporaneously generated pattern of movement for the individual. The method additionally includes comparing the pattern for the identified individual to a set of patterns in a pattern data store and predicting from a matching pattern both a destination location in the geographically bounded area and a duration of time at which the identified individual is to remain at the destination location. Finally, the method includes directing activation of a fixture at the destination location responsive to predicting the destination location, and directing deactivation of a fixture at the origination location responsive to predicting a duration of time that exceeds a threshold value.

1. A method of pattern matching determination of destination and duration of stay in a geographically bounded area, the method comprising:
detecting movement by an identified individual in an origination location of the geographically bounded area; retrieving a contemporaneously generated pattern of movement for the identified individual; comparing the contemporaneously generated pattern of movement for the identified individual to a set of patterns in a pattern data store; predicting from a matching pattern in the set of patterns both a destination location in the geographically bounded area and a duration of time at which the identified individual is to remain at the destination location; and, directing activation of a fixture at the destination location responsive to predicting the destination location, and directing deactivation of a fixture at the origination location responsive to predicting the duration of time that exceeds a threshold value.
