METHODS FOR DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS FOR EVENT DETECTION
First Claim
1. A process for detecting and predicting events occurring to a person, comprising:
- observing, using a sensor, a plurality of readings of a parameter of the person, wherein the parameter is one of;
horizontal location, vertical height, and time of observation;
storing the readings in a computer memory;
determining, by a processor, a pattern of behavior based on the readings;
storing a pattern of interest based on the readings;
identifying from the readings the pattern of interest;
distinguishing a person that exhibits the pattern of interest, from other people or animate objects;
labeling the person with a unique identifying label;
linking data captured about the person with the identifying label;
determining conditions under which a subset of the readings correspond to an occurrence of an event; and
detecting when the subset of readings corresponds to the occurrence of the event.

Abstract
Behavior modeling includes how to detect and/or predict events based on observed changes in behavior. Detection of behavior that indicates possible adverse health events is performed by remote observation of a person'"'"'s behavior. Captured data is correlated with an appropriate person, without identifying the person. People are associated with objects/locations, in the environment based on how the people relate to those objects/locations. Thus, people are identified based on their body characteristics or movement. Person specific data captured is labeled with unique identifiers. The location of certain objects/locations is correlated with the behavior profile to capture and analyze a nested pattern within a larger behavior pattern. Next to certain objects, certain types of behaviors/movements are expected. However, if the movement at a determined point in time deviates significantly from “normal” behavior patterns, such deviation may be an indication that something is wrong.

21. A computing machine for detecting and predicting an event based on changes in behavior of a person comprising:
-
a computer memory; a sensor; and a computer processor in communication with the computer memory and the sensor, wherein the computer processor executes a sequence of instructions stored in the computer memory, including instructions for; observing, using a sensor, a plurality of readings of a parameter of the person, wherein the parameter is one of;
horizontal location, vertical height, and time of observation;storing the readings in a computer memory; determining, by a processor, a pattern of behavior based on the readings; storing a pattern of interest based on the readings; identifying from the readings the pattern of interest; distinguishing a person that exhibits the pattern of interest, from other people or animate objects; labeling a person that exhibits the pattern of interest with an unique identifying label; linking data captured about the person with the identifying label; determining conditions under which a subset of the readings correspond to an occurrence of an event; and detecting when the subset of readings corresponds to the occurrence of the event.
