Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 29:
30. A wireless device of a wireless monitoring system, comprising:
a processor;
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor; and
a receiver communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein:
an additional wireless device of the wireless monitoring system is configured for transmitting a first wireless signal through a wireless multipath channel of a venue in accordance with a current operating mode,
the receiver is configured for receiving a second wireless signal through the wireless multipath channel in accordance with the current operating mode,
the second wireless signal differs from the first wireless signal due to the wireless multipath channel and a motion of an object in the venue, and
the processor is configured for:
choosing the current operating mode from a plurality of supported operating modes associated with a task and the motion of the object,
determining at least one aspect of the object to be monitored in the current operating mode, wherein each aspect of the object is to be monitored in a respective time period of the time table,
obtaining a time series of channel information (TSCJ) of the wireless multipath channel based on the second wireless signal,
computing a spatial-temporal information (STI) based on the TSCI,
filtering out any forgettable activities from the TSCI and the STI,
monitoring the at least one aspect of the object based on the current operating mode, the TSCI and the STI, wherein the current operating mode is switchable to another operating mode of the plurality of supported operating modes automatically based on: a pre-setting of the wireless monitoring system, the monitoring of the motion of the object, and the current operating mode,
performing the task based on the monitoring and the current operating mode,
generating a response to the motion of the object based on the current operating mode of the task, wherein the response to the motion of the object is different when the current operating mode becomes a different operating mode, and
in accordance with a determination that (1) the current operating mode is a user-away mode for monitoring the venue when a user of the system is not present in the venue and (2) the object, being a potential intruder, is detected based on the TSCI and the STI:
conducting an interrogation dialog with the potential intruder using either a speaker or a visual display as an output device, and either a microphone or a keypad as an input device,
challenging the potential intruder by requesting a passcode, a password, or an identification within a time limit,
giving a warning animation to the potential intruder when the potential intruder fails to input a valid passcode, password or identification within the time limit, and
giving a welcome animation to the user when the potential intruder inputs the valid passcode, password or identification within the time limit as an indication to be the user.
