METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR TRACKING HUMAN INTERACTIONS WITH OBJECTS USING MODULAR SENSOR SEGMENTS

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for tracking signals from modular sensor segments are disclosed. One system includes modular sensor segments for tracking interactions with objects where each sensor segment includes an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver for tracking human physical interaction with objects. Each modular sensor segment includes a circuit board on which the transmitter and receiver are mounted and a light shield mounted on the circuit board configured to separate, transmit and receive optical signal paths.

1. A modular system for polling networks of sensors comprising:
a plurality of sensing devices; a circuit board on which the sensing devices are mounted, the circuit board and the sensing devices forming a plurality of modular sensor segments; a bus for communicating power and signals between the sensor segments and allowing segments to be connected in any order; a signal processor/controller configured to manage polling of each segment, receive signals from or transmit signals to each segment and to process output signals from the segments.
