Method and system for determining the activity of a person, recording medium for this method

摘要

The method involves measuring a magnetic field produced by one of the electrical appliances (34) by means of a magnetometer (50) carried by the person. An electrical appliance in ON mode is identified in proximity to the magnetometer by comparing the measured magnetic field with the pre-recorded magnetic signatures of electrical appliances in ON mode. The activity of the person is determined on the basis of a pre-recorded activity identifier associated with the electrical appliance identified as being in ON mode on the basis of its magnetic signature. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) non transitory tangible information-recording medium storing program for determining person's activity in surroundings equipped with switchable electrical appliances; and (2) system for determining person's activity in surroundings equipped with switchable electrical appliances.
