WIRELESS MOTION SENSOR NETWORK FOR MONITORING MOTION IN A PROCESS, WIRELESS SENSOR NODE, REASONING NODE, AND FEEDBACK AND/OR ACTUATION NODE FOR SUCH WIRELESS MOTION SENSOR NETWORK

摘要

Wireless motion sensor network for monitoring motion in a process comprising at least one wireless sensor node for measuring at least one physical quantity related to motion or orientation, feature extraction means for deriving a feature for the measured quantities, a wireless transmitter connected to the feature extraction means for transmitting the derived feature, and the wireless receiver receiving derived features from other sensor nodes, the network further comprising a reasoning node for collecting features transmitted by the at least one wireless sensor node comprising a collaborative reasoning engine for determining further features based on features received by a wireless receiver wherein the further features are determined by calculation and/or a rule set; and the wireless motion sensor network comprising a feedback and/or actuation means for intervening in or influencing a monitored process based on the output of the collaborative reasoning engine.
