A voice resolver unit processes audio data. The unit includes a noise detection and cancellation module operative on the audio data, a voice recognition engine to recognize voice in the output of the noise detection and cancellation module, a noise model scorer to match received audio data against at least two noise models to determine the type or types of noise in the audio data and a recognition analyzer to analyze the quality of the output of the recognition engine as a function of the operation of the noise detection and cancellation module according to the type or types of noise detected. The voice resolver may be used in an automation unit for a premises and an alarm system.

Methods and systems for monitoring procedural compliance of staff in a facility. A system may include a plurality of sensors positioned adjacent a hand washing station. Each of the plurality of sensors may be configured to provide a corresponding sensor output signal that is indicative of whether a person is washing their hands at the hand washing station or not. A controller may be configured to fuse the sensor output signals from each of two or more of the plurality of sensors and to determine using the fused sensor output signals whether the person has washed their hands at the hand washing station in compliance with one or more predetermined criteria or not. The controller may be further configured to output a notification when the controller has determined that the person has washed their hands at the hand washing station in compliance with the one or more predetermined criteria.

A head guard is provided. The head guard includes one or more sensors as part of an sensory input and communications system. The head guard wirelessly communicates data to remote computing devices for intelligent data collection.

An information providing method includes: generating first information indicating there is an item that has been stored in a storage for a long time when (i) a length of a stored period of the item is a first threshold amount of time or longer and (ii) an amount of time from the current time to a statistical time is a second threshold amount of time or less; obtaining, from a second information processing apparatus connected to a first information processing apparatus, information indicating first request content over a network; and when content of the first information is included in the first request content, outputting, to the second information processing apparatus, second information including information for identifying a user or a space, using the first information generated.

The present disclosure relates to a work safety management system using a safety belt unit for high-place work, and safety during working at a high place can be enhanced by determining whether a worker has fastened a seat belt to a safety structure, and the location of the worker, whether the seat belt is fastened and whether the work is on progress can be monitored in real time from a remote location to prevent safety accidents.

A home automation (HA) system may include at least one HA operation device within a restroom of a user living area and an HA hub device to provide communications for the at least one HA operation device. The HA system may also include at least one controller configured to store historical operational data for the at least one HA operation device based upon a user within the restroom, and monitor operation of the at least one HA operation device, and determine therefrom whether current usage of the restroom has changed based upon the historical operational data. The at least one controller may be configured to generate a notification based upon the historical operations data and the determined current usage of the restroom.

In various exemplary embodiments, the present technology is directed to systems and methods for predictive environmental fall risk identification for a user.

Provided is a system for detecting a risk using pattern analysis of layered tags in user log data, the system including a tag hierarchical database in which layered tag information and risk tag information according to a pattern corresponding to the layered tag information are matched with each other and are stored and managed, a user group terminal configured to provide user log data that is detected or input through sensors and input devices, and a risk prediction and response server configured to analyze the user log data provided from the user group terminal to detect a pattern of tags and configured to perform a response on a risk tag corresponding to the pattern of tags.

A security and automation unit for building, offices or homes includes multiple sensors and multiple resolvers. The resolvers include one or more of a presence resolver, an alarm resolver, a climate resolver, and an event resolver, and at least one resolver includes a neural network. The event resolver includes a self-learning module and at least one of a cognitive module and a proactive module. The self-learning module finds clusters of activation of pieces of equipment at recorded events. The cognitive module analyzes the clusters and modifies an associated scenario for at least one piece of equipment. The proactive module analyzes the clusters and creates at least one new scenario for at least one piece of equipment. The sensors include some of a movement sensor, an acoustic sensor, an image sensor, a light sensor, a CO2 sensor, a thermometer, and a humidity sensor.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for personal emergency assistance. An example method can include detecting a need for assistance associated with a user; determining a location associated with the user and a type of assistance needed; selecting a communications interface on a device associated with the user for transmitting an assistance request over a network; transmitting, to a destination system associated with an assistance service, the assistance request via the communications interface selected, the assistance request specifying the location associated with the user and the type of assistance needed; exchanging assistance updates between the device and destination system, the assistance updates comprising location updates, event updates, a status of the assistance request, and/or a status of an assistance response; and providing, by the device, assistance information comprising at least a portion of the assistance updates, the assistance information being provided via a display and/or speaker of the device.
