Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A system for automated monitoring of a person's position, comprising:
a wearable sensor device including at least one sensor configured to generate sensor data regarding an orientation of the person;
memory storing a defined minimum orientation change threshold; and
at least one processor configured to:
monitor the orientation of the person over time based on the sensor data generated by the at least one sensor of the wearable sensor device;
determine a first orientation of the person based on the monitored orientation of the person;
increase a first orientation time counter associated with the first orientation while the person is positioned in the first orientation;
determine a magnitude of an orientation change of the person based on the monitored orientation of the person;
compare the magnitude of the orientation change to the defined minimum orientation change threshold;
if the magnitude of the orientation change does not meet the defined minimum orientation change threshold, continue to increase the first orientation time counter;
if the magnitude of orientation change meets or exceeds the defined minimum orientation change threshold, determine the person has turned from the first orientation and adjusting a control of the first orientation time counter; and
generate a notification based on the first orientation time counter.
