Trainable versatile monitoring device and system of devices
A machine system includes monitor devices each having a camera, the monitor devices distributed over a physical area; layout logic forms images from the cameras of the monitor devices into a scene layout for the area; user interface logic receives training signals from sensors directed to a person physically present in the area and to correlate those signals to subareas of the layout; and analytical logic analyzes the layout and training signals to ascertain subareas of the area at which the monitor devices should focus machine sensor and processing resources.
1. A machine system, comprising:
a plurality of monitor devices each comprising a camera, the monitor devices distributed over a physical area;
layout logic configured to form images from the cameras of the monitor devices into a scene layout for the physical area;
a web server comprising user interface logic configured to receive training signals from sensors directed to a person physically present in the physical area and to correlate those signals to areas of the scene layout;
analytical logic configured to analyze the scene layout and the training signals to ascertain subareas of the areas at which the monitor devices should focus machine sensor and processing resources; and
the web server comprising combination logic to combine the scene layout and training information into an enhanced layout and to communicate at least a portion of the enhanced layout back to each monitor unit.
