Abstract:
Systems and methods for tracking movement of individuals through a building receive, by one or more RF nodes disposed near an entrance to the building, RF signals from RF-transmitting mobile devices carried by persons near the entrance, capture an image of the persons while they are near the entrance, determine an identity and relative distance of each RF-transmitting mobile device from each RF node based on information associated with the RF signals received by that RF node, detect humans in the image, determine a relative depth of each human in the image, and assign the identity of each RF-transmitting mobile device to one of the humans detected in the image based on the relative distance of each RF-transmitting mobile device from each RF node and the relative depth of each human in the image, thereby identifying each individual who to be tracked optically as that individual moves throughout the building.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for tracking movement of individuals through a building, the system comprising:\n at least one radio-frequency (RF) node disposed near an entrance to the building, the at least one RF node having an RF receiver to receive RF signals from RF-transmitting devices near the entrance to the building; at least one optical device disposed near the entrance to the building, the at least one optical device capturing an image of a plurality of persons while the plurality of persons is near the entrance to the building; and a controller in communication with the at least one RF node to obtain therefrom information associated with the RF signals received by the RF receiver of that at least one RF node and in communication with the at least one optical device to obtain therefrom the captured image, the controller being configured to determine an identity of each RF-transmitting device and a relative distance of each RF-transmitting device from each RF node based on the information associated with the RF signals obtained by the controller from the at least one RF node, the controller being further configured to detect a plurality of humans in the image obtained by the controller from the at least one optical device and to determine a relative depth of each human detected in the image, the controller being further configured to assign the identity of each RF-transmitting device to one of the plurality of humans detected in the image based on the determined relative distance of each RF-transmitting device from each RF node and the determined relative depth of each human detected in the image, thereby identifying each individual who is to be tracked optically as that individual moves throughout the building.
