Systems and methods for activity determination based on human frame
First Claim
1. A method for determining activity, comprising:
- wirelessly receiving signals from a plurality of ultra-wideband (UWB) tags carried by an individual over a UWB communications channel;
correlating two or more UWB tags of the plurality of UWB tags with an individual profile information, the individual profile information comprising a reference body distance;
determining location data for each of the two or more UWB tags based on the signals;
determining a body distance based on the location data;
comparing the body distance to the reference body distance; and
determining an activity of the individual based on the comparing the body distance to the reference body distance.

Abstract
Systems and related methods providing for determining activities of individuals are discussed herein. Circuitry may be configured to wirelessly receive tag signals from a plurality of RF location tags. Two or more of the RF location tags may be positioned on an individual, such as at positions that may at least partially define a human frame. The circuitry may be configured to correlate the two or more RF location tags with the individual. Location data for each of the two or more RF location tags may be determined based on the received tag signals. An activity of the individual may be determined based on the location data. In some embodiments, one or more activities involving multiple individuals may be determined based on RF location tags and sensors positioned on each of the multiple individuals. Furthermore, sensor data from the sensors may be communicated over the UWB channel.
