Embodiment Construction

[0016]Embodiments of the present disclosure and its advantages are best understood by referring to FIGS. 1 through 6, wherein like numerals refer to like and corresponding parts of the various drawings.

[0017]Traditional environments like the home are faced with an ever-increasing number of automated devices and appliances, yet the sophistication of home automation systems has historically lagged behind other industries. Yet, in recent years, the number of connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices and appliances available to the consumer is increasing. These devices and appliances serve the occupant by receiving sensor input and taking action based on that input. For example, motion detectors may turn on the light if motion is detected. These basic control mechanisms suffer from a number of deficiencies. Using the previous example, if the occupant remains still for too long (or is situated outside of the line-of-sight of the motion sensor), a timer may cause the light to turn off ev...

Abstract

A control system for indoor position and vector tracking includes a plurality of radio frequency (RF) transmitters to detect a mobile radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. The control system includes an intelligent controller to receive location information from the RF transmitters and to calculate a vector associated with the mobile RFID tag. The intelligent controller may utilize the vector as a control input to an algorithm for selecting a control operation for one or more of plurality of networked devices.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 835,021 filed Dec. 7, 2017 and entitled “Indoor Position and Vector Tracking System and Method,” and which is incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates in general to control systems, and more particularly to a system and method for using an indoor position and vector tracking system and method to improve the operation of home automation systems.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Home automation systems attempt to serve occupants of a home by automating routine tasks, such as activating lighting or regulating temperature within the home. To date, however, home automation systems have utilized rudimentary control mechanisms for feedback and control that cannot fully tailor the performance of the home automation system to the unique needs of the occupants.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]In accordance with the teachings of the present disclosu...
