Device Wearing Status Determination Using RSSI
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining a body worn device donned status or a body worn device ditched status comprising:
- receiving a plurality of RSSI values;
determining a RSSI variation in the plurality of RSSI values;
comparing the RSSI variation to a donned/ditched threshold RSSI variation; and
generating a donned status or a ditched status indication responsive to comparing the RSSI variation to the donned/ditched threshold RSSI variation.

10. A body worn device comprising:
-
a wireless transceiver for sending and receiving signals; a processor; and a memory storing a donned/ditched application program for determining a donned status or a ditched status of the body worn device, the donned/ditched application program operable to process a plurality of RSSI values, wherein a RSSI variation in the plurality of RSSI values is identified to generate a donned status or ditched status indication. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

18. A computer readable medium storing executable program instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for determining a wearing status of a body worn device:
-
receiving a plurality of RSSI data; processing the plurality of RSSI data to determine a RSSI variation in the plurality of RSSI data; comparing the RSSI variation to a threshold RSSI variation; and generating a wearing status indication responsive to comparing the RSSI variation to the threshold RSSI variation. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
