System and method for monitoring an area
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a vehicle, the system comprising:
- means for obtaining a first type of raw data for a passenger area of the vehicle;
means for obtaining a second type of raw data for the passenger area;
means for detecting an event based on at least one of the first type of raw data and the second type of raw data; and
means for automatically determining an action based on the event.

Abstract
An improved system for monitoring an area, and in particular a public area such as a passenger area of a vehicle. Various types of sensing devices and analysis solutions are incorporated and the results combined to enable the monitoring system to operate in an intelligent manner. To this extent, the monitoring system can monitor and confirm the identification of individuals as well as numerous events that may occur within the monitored area. Further, the invention can determine one or more actions to be taken in response to an event, and perform the action(s) automatically without intervention from a user. As a result, the invention provides a solution that can autonomously monitor an area, requiring minimal oversight from a user.
