Process and device for remotely tracking a person's activity in a building
First Claim
1. A method for remotely tracking a person'"'"'s activity in a building, comprising the steps of:
- (i) obtaining, from a detection device capable of detecting in said building'"'"'s electrical power supply system at least one predefined electrical signal produced by a piece of electrical equipment of said building when a change of electrical operating state occurs in said piece of electrical equipment, tracking data relating to at least one detected electrical signal, said tracking data including, wherein said tracking data includes;
(a) information relating to a detection moment of said at least one detected electrical signal, (b) identification data of said piece of electrical equipment which produced said at least one detected electrical signal, and (c) data relating to said change of electrical operating state which caused said at least one detected electrical signal; and
(ii) determining, from the tracking data generated during a predefined period of time, an estimate of said person'"'"'s degree of activity.

Abstract
Predefined electrical signals, produced by an electrical equipment in the building during a change of electrical operating state of said equipment, are detected on the building'"'"'s power supply system. By analyzing each detected electrical signal, tracking data is generated including information relating to the date of detection, the electrical equipment originating the signal and the corresponding change in electrical state. At least one parameter representative of the activity carried out by said person is determined, in the form of a probability of an activity or a type of activity being carried out, based on tracking data generated during a predefined period of time.
