Abstract

This paper describes a concept for a product called the Personal Action Wireless Sensor (PAWS), a system that estimates human action within a home environment. In this system, a watch-like motion sensor worn by user communicates wirelessly via a network of locator devices, which determine user location to a host computer. The host software combines the inputs of motion, angular position, location, and time to recognize user action.
