Improving sensing reliability of radiofrequency in network controlling device
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240036189A1) describes a network controlling device designed to manage a network of devices performing radiofrequency sensing in various sensing areas. These sensing areas are spatial regions where independent radiofrequency sensing is conducted. The device includes a sensing result providing unit, potentially unreliable detection result determination unit, and a new sensing area defining unit. The potentially unreliable detection result determination unit compares sensing results from different areas to identify unreliable detection results in specific spatial regions. Based on this analysis, the new sensing area defining unit assigns network devices to new sensing areas to conduct independent radiofrequency sensing, providing new sensing results to improve detection accuracy.
Furthermore, the patent application details the network controlling device's ability to assign network devices based on known network characteristics, previous detection results, or expected sensing results. It also considers factors like spatial distribution, environmental conditions, and wireless noise to define new sensing areas effectively. The device aims to enhance detection accuracy by adjusting sensing sensitivity, controlling processing load on network devices, and optimizing communication within the network. Additionally, the patent application covers a network comprising multiple devices performing radiofrequency sensing and a network controlling method that involves providing sensing results, determining detection reliability, defining new sensing areas, and improving detection accuracy in specific spatial regions. Overall, the patent application introduces a comprehensive approach to managing networks with radiofrequency sensing capabilities, focusing on enhancing detection accuracy and optimizing network performance.
