The method exploits the fact that the human body interferes with radio signals by introducing irregularities in the radio signature which indicate possible human presence, given in a form of received signal strength indicator's (RSSI) variations. According to this phenomenon, a human presence can be detected within a specific area, or in a particular zone, by providing the information to the system for unobtrusive interaction with the human subject in real-time. The idea is to apply the presented method for human presence detection to the network of novel, commercially available wireless LED bulbs, which are comprised of an embedded IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver module for wireless communication with other wireless devices. The proposed algorithm for human presence detection is implemented as a software module that can be easily incorporated into a variety of wireless systems (including the aforementioned smart LED bulbs, or any other wireless nodes) without high processing and memory loads of the system's resources. By incorporating the presented method, the original functionality of the wireless devices is extended with the possibility of device-free presence detection, which can be used for various ambient intelligence applications with very low installation costs. By applying the statistical techniques for signal processing, such as Shannon's information Entropy, combined with the incremental algorithm for extracting the principal components of the matrix of radio links (Candid Covariance-free Incremental Principal Component Analysis - CCIPCA), the implemented method can be integrated into any network of wireless devices, including the devices with low-power processing resources.}, howpublished = {M92}, keywords = {networks, RSSI, user monitoring}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {patent} } The presented invention significantly improves the existing ambient intelligence solutions through the synthesis of radio-communication protocols and advanced statistical techniques for the radio signals processing, in order to detect human presence without the use of conventional sensor solutions.
