US Patent No. 11,246,205 B1 · What it covers

What HeatSig senses: warm shapes in a room, no faces

How the patented technology works

From body heat to an alert, automatically

  1. SORVA on a living room ceiling

    1 · Aware, without a camera

    Passive infrared sensors in the light map warmth across the room. No video is ever recorded.

  2. A heat reading of a room: warm shapes, no faces

    2 · AI that recognises people

    Machine learning distinguishes a person's warmth from other heat sources, such as electronics or pets.

  3. An alert in the HeatSig app, with the room and the time

    3 · An alert, automatically

    A sudden fall followed by stillness triggers a notification in the HeatSig app within 20 seconds.

Alerts for Immobility (a fall, a faint, can't get up from the floor, bed or chair) · Fire
