Abstract

The location of objects and people by the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) or Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network is increasingly used to provide location-based services. These technologies work well outdoors and when the required accuracy is not very high, up to 10 meters. This paper describes an algorithm for monitoring elderly people at home, by continuously taking its position, which uses the RSS information exchanged between Bluetooth devices, Weibull distributions and Bayesian classifiers. This algorithm has been validated in a real environment, an area of 13 x 12 meters, with several rooms and corridors, where zones of approximately 6 square meters have been delimited. Our algorithm achieved a rate of correct detections of 91.875%.
