Patent ID: 10038751

Abstract:
A sensor system (200) comprises a plurality of sensors (110) and a system server (120), all of said plurality of sensors (110) being of a same accelerometer-based sensor type. Each of said plurality of sensors is adapted for attachment to a respective movable structure (112) in a building. Each of said plurality of sensors (110) is individually configured to detect a respective basic movement (114) of said movable structure (112), wherein said basic movement is indicative of a human behavioral action (116) in said building. Each of said plurality of sensors (110) is arranged to detect its basic movement and communicate with said system server in response to detecting the basic movement. The system server (120) is configured to receive a detection signal (118) from any of said plurality of sensors (110), determine an activity pattern (124) based on said detection signal, determine an appropriate function (126) based on said activity pattern and, execute said function.
