Abstract

A smart home system with data analytics for home monitoring or for monitoring enclosed spaces other than the home. The system can include a BLE mesh network with an embedded gateway and a plurality of repeater nodes running BLE mesh software for use with a Cloud server for receiving data from the gateway through Wifi communication. A plurality of devices each with a sensor and a BLE module can be included with the system and wherein one of the sensors can be a fall detection sensor, a heart and respiratory sensor, or a sensor to detect when a switch or an opening of a door or cap occurs. Other sensors can be included.

Claims

1. A smart home system with data analytics for home monitoring comprising:

a BLE mesh network comprising an embedded gateway and a plurality of repeater nodes running BLE mesh software;

said gateway comprising a Wifi module and a BLE module;

a Cloud server for receiving data from the gateway through Wifi communication;

a plurality of devices each comprising sensor and a BLE module; and

wherein a fall can be detected by one of the sensors and a location of one of the sensors relative to a particular repeater node can be detected and relayed via the gateway to the Cloud server.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein one of the sensors is a BCG sensor for detecting heart rate and respiratory rate.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein one of the sensors is an accelerometer for detecting signals along a Y axis.

4. A system for detecting a fall condition comprising:

a housing comprising a BLE module and an accelerometer;

a BLE mesh network comprising an embedded gateway and a plurality of repeater nodes running BLE mesh software;

said gateway comprising a Wifi module and a BLE module;

a Cloud server for receiving data from the gateway through Wifi communication; and

wherein the information received is from an accelerometer detecting a signal along a Y axis.
