DEVICES, METHODS, AND SYSTEMS FOR OCCUPANCY DETECTION

摘要

Devices, methods, and systems for occupancy detection are described herein. One device embodiment includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to determine energy consumption data associated with a structure at a point in time, and determine whether the structure is occupied at the point in time based, at least in part, on the determined energy consumption data.

1. A computing device for determining an occupancy status of a structure, the computing device comprising:
a memory storing executable instructions that, when executed, analyze energy consumption data to determine the occupancy status of the structure; a controller coupled to the memory, wherein the controller is configured to execute the executable instructions stored in the memory to:
obtain energy consumption data associated with the structure at a point in time;determine whether an anomaly exists within the energy consumption data by comparing a first portion of the energy consumption data to a historical threshold for the first portion of the energy consumption data, wherein an anomaly exists within the energy consumption data if the first portion of the energy consumption data meets or exceeds the historical threshold for the first portion of the energy consumption data;if an anomaly exists within the energy consumption data, determine whether the anomaly is an anomaly of interest by comparing a second portion of the energy consumption data to a historical threshold for the second portion of the energy consumption data, wherein the anomaly is an anomaly of interest if the second portion of the energy consumption data meets or exceeds the historical threshold for the second portion of the energy consumption data;determine whether the structure is occupied at the point in time based, at least in part, on whether the anomaly is an anomaly of interest; andreport whether the structure is determined to be occupied at the point in time to another device.
