METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTION AND PREDICTION OF EVENTS BASED ON CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented process for detecting and predicting events occurring to a person, comprising:
- observing, using a sensor, a reading of a parameter of a body part of the person which is one of;
horizontal location, vertical height, orientation, velocity, and time of observation, wherein the reading corresponds to less information than needed to define the person'"'"'s posture;
receiving the reading into a computer memory;
determining from the received reading a pattern of behavior;
detecting a change in behavior;
identifying from the change in behavior a combination of one or more readings corresponding to an abnormal event; and
producing an alert signal when the combination of one or more readings corresponding to the abnormal event is identified.

Abstract
A computer-implemented process for detecting and predicting events occurring to a person, includes: observing, using a sensor, a reading of a parameter of a body part of the person which is one of: horizontal location, vertical height, orientation, velocity, and time of observation, wherein the reading corresponds to less information than needed to define the person'"'"'s posture; receiving the reading into a computer memory; determining from the received reading a pattern of behavior; detecting a change in behavior; identifying from the change in behavior a combination of one or more readings corresponding to an abnormal event; and producing an alert signal when the combination of one or more readings corresponding to the abnormal event is identified. The process may be practiced using a computing machine including a computer memory; a sensor; and a computer processor.

21. A computing machine for detecting and predicting an event based on changes in behavior of a person in an absence of information regarding the person'"'"'s posture comprising:
-
a computer memory; a sensor; and a computer processor; the computer processor executing a sequence of instructions stored in the computer memory, including instructions for; observing, using a sensor, a reading of a parameter of a body part of the person which is one of;
horizontal location, vertical height, orientation, velocity, and time of observation, wherein the reading corresponds to less information than needed to define the person'"'"'s posture;receiving the reading into a computer memory; determining from the received reading a pattern of behavior; detecting a change in behavior; identifying a combination of one or more readings corresponding to an abnormal event; and producing an alert signal when the combination of one or more readings corresponding to the abnormal event is identified. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50)
