Abstract

A method and apparatus for performing wireless sensing in a wireless LAN system on the basis of wireless sensing are proposed. Specifically, a wireless device determines a first time for collecting empty data. The wireless device collects empty data during the first time. The empty data is a wireless signal when there is no user in a preset space.

Claims (48)

1 . A method in a wireless LAN system based on wireless sensing, the method comprising:

obtaining, by a wireless device, first information on a Personal Electronic Device (PED) connection state of a home network;

checking, by the wireless device, an empty state based on the first information;

determining, by the wireless device, a first time point to collect empty data after the empty state is checked;

collecting, by the wireless device, the empty data only in the first time point; and

monitoring, by the wireless device, other information during a time other than the first time point,

wherein the empty data is a wireless signal when there is no user in a preset space.

2 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first information includes a system log and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allocation information,

wherein the empty state is a state in which there is no user in the preset space.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining, by the wireless device, second information on a PED device state; and

checking, by the wireless device, the empty state based on the second information,

wherein the second information includes location information of the PED device and peer to peer (P2P) connection information between the wireless device and the PED.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

collecting, by the wireless device, wireless signal in the first time point; and

determining, by the wireless device, whether the collected wireless signal is the empty data; and

determining, by the wireless device, a second time point, which is another time point for collecting the empty data based on the collected wireless signal being determined not to be the empty data.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

generating, by the wireless device, a user model by learning and predicting based on the empty data, based on the collected wireless signal being determined to be the empty data; and

performing, by the wireless device, anomaly detection based on the user model or performing intruder detection by recognizing a wireless signal of an intruder.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the empty data is data labeled with the empty state.

7 . A wireless device in a wireless LAN system based on wireless sensing, the wireless device comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor being operatively connected to the memory and the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

obtain first information on a Personal Electronic Device (PED) connection state of a home network;

check an empty state based on the first information;

determine a first time point to collect empty data after the empty state is checked;

collect the empty data only in the first time point; and

monitor other information during a time other than the first time point,

wherein the empty data is a wireless signal when there is no user in a preset space.

8 . The wireless device of claim 7 ,

wherein the first information includes a system log and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allocation information,

wherein the empty state is a state in which there is no user in the preset space.

9 . The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

obtain second information on a PED device state; and

check the empty state based on the second information,

wherein the second information includes location information of the PED device and peer to peer (P2P) connection information between the wireless device and the PED.

10 . The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

collect wireless signal in the first time point; and

determine whether the collected wireless signal is the empty data; and

determine a second time point, which is another time point for collecting the empty data based on the collected wireless signal being determined not to be the empty data.

11 . The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

generate a user model by learning and predicting based on the empty data, based on the collected wireless signal being determined to be the empty data; and

perform anomaly detection based on the user model or perform intruder detection by recognizing a wireless signal of an intruder.

12 . The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the empty data is data labeled with the empty state.
