Event detection and environmental control within a structure
First Claim
1. A method of identifying an event, comprising:
- sensing motion with a light detector;
matching the sensed motion with one of a plurality of stored patterns of events; and
identifying an event associated with the sensed motion based on a match between a one of the plurality of patterns and the sensed motion.

Abstract
Embodiments of methods, apparatuses and systems for identifying an event are disclosed. One method includes sensing motion with a motion sensor, wherein the motion sensor is stationary, and the motion sensor senses motion of an object that is external to the motion sensor. The embodiment further includes matching the sensed motion with one of a plurality of stored patterns of events, and identifying an event associated with the sensed motion based on a match between a one of the plurality of patterns and the sensed motion. One apparatus includes a sensing device, wherein the sensing device includes a light sensor sensing motion and a processor. The processor is configured to match the sensed motion with one of a plurality of stored patterns of events, and identify an event associated with the sensed motion based on a match between a one of the plurality of patterns and the sensed motion.
