Patent ID: 8301575

Claim:
Method for the recognition of the position or movement of a device or a person, comprising the following steps: providing first and second sets of sensors ( 1 , 2 , 5 , 6 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ) on or close to the device or person; measuring, during a learning phase, the readings recorded by the sensors and applying first predefined decisional rules at least to the measurements taken by the first set of sensors to classify each event identified using the measurements of all or part of the sensors into a position or movement category; creating a learning base, during the learning phase, identifying for all or part of said events their pre-established classification and the characteristics from the measurements of the second set of sensors; defining second decisional rules based on the learning base permitting an event to be classified based on measurements taken by the second set of sensors; removing the first set of sensors ( 1 , 6 , 12 , 13 ) and only keeping the second set of sensors ( 2 , 5 , 14 , 15 ) on the device or the person; and classifying the position or the movement of the device or person, in a recognition phase, by applying the second decisional rules to the measurements made by the second set of sensors.
