Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for warning a supervising user of behaviors of a monitored user representative of adverse behavior, comprising: capturing a three-dimensional movement of a monitored user within a particular environment monitored by the supervising user, wherein the three-dimensional movement is determined using at least one image capture device aimed at the monitored user; identifying a three-dimensional object properties stream using the captured movement; accessing a selection of adverse behavior definitions specified for the particular environment from among a plurality of adverse behavior definitions specified for a plurality of environments from a behavior database; identifying a particular defined adverse behavior of the monitored user represented by the three-dimensional object properties stream by comparing the identified three-dimensional object properties stream with the selection of adverse behavior definitions by calculating a percentage of probability that the captured three-dimensional movement represents a particular behavior defined in the selection of adverse behavior definitions and calculating a percentage of probability that the captured three-dimensional movement is adverse; in response to identifying the particular defined adverse behavior of the monitored user from among the plurality of adverse behavior definitions, notifying the supervising user for the particular environment about the particular defined adverse behavior of the monitored user through an interface only detectable by the supervising user by sending the particular defined adverse behavior to a warning system for controlling warning signals output to the supervising user, wherein the warning system translates the particular defined adverse behavior into a tactile feedback control signal with a feedback strength specified to a percentage of total feedback strength to reflect the percentage probability that the captured three-dimensional movement is adverse and with a feedback position specified to one or multiple feedback positions to reflect a position of the particular defined adverse behavior in relation to the monitored user in the captured three-dimensional movement, wherein the warning system controls output of the feedback control signal to at least one tactile feedback device detectable by the supervising user for controlling the feedback strength and feedback position of the feedback output by at least one tactile feedback device; capturing a response by the supervising user to the supervising user receiving the notification of the particular defined adverse behavior through the interface, wherein the response indicates whether the particular defined adverse behavior is correctly identified; and adjusting at least one definition in the selection of adverse behavior definitions specified for the particular environment in the behavior database to reflect the response.
