Detailed Description
Experiments show that the human body has a weakening effect on wireless signals. The inventors have made the present invention based on this finding.
Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring now to fig. 1, there is shown a schematic diagram of a system for congestion detection in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the system may include a transmitter 20 for transmitting wireless signals and a receiver 30 for receiving wireless signals. Here, the wireless signal may be, but is not limited to, a WIFI signal, a bluetooth signal, or the like. The transmitter 20 and receiver 30 may each have a plurality of conventional antennas.
The transmitter 20 and the receiver 30 are respectively located at different positions in the closed area a, for example, but not limited to, the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30 are respectively disposed at both ends of the closed area a such that the wireless signal transmitted by the transmitter 20 covers the entire closed area a.
The transmitter 20 and the receiver 30 are arranged within the enclosed area a such that there is no line-of-sight propagation of the wireless signal between the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30, but only reflection propagation of the wireless signal.
In one aspect, there may be no line-of-sight propagation of signals between the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30 by placing an obstruction B in the line-of-sight propagation path of signals between the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30. Here, the obstacle B is intentionally added to the enclosed area a in order that there is no line-of-sight propagation of signals between the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30. Alternatively, the obstacle B is an object that is already present in the closed area a, but by appropriately positioning the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30 in the closed area a such that the obstacle B is located just on the line-of-sight propagation path of the signal between the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30, there is no line-of-sight propagation of the signal between the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30.
In another aspect, the polarity of the antenna of the transmitter 20 may be made perpendicular to the polarity of the antenna of the receiver 30 such that there is no line-of-sight propagation of wireless signals between the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30.
Referring now to fig. 2, there is shown a flow chart of a method for congestion detection in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. The method shown in fig. 2 is described in detail below with reference to the system shown in fig. 1.
As shown in fig. 2, transmitter 20 may transmit a wireless signal through its antenna using a predetermined power level at block 202. Here, the transmitter 20 may transmit a wireless signal through each of its antennas one by one, for example, or through all of its antennas simultaneously, for example.
Receiver 30 may receive wireless signals from each antenna of transmitter 20 via each of its antennas, block 204. In an aspect, receiver 30 may have its antennas receive wireless signals at different times, i.e., receiver 30 may have its antennas not receive wireless signals at the same time. In another aspect, receiver 30 may have its antennas simultaneously receive wireless signals.
At block 206, receiver 30 may calculate the received signal strength of the wireless signal received by each antenna of receiver 30 from each antenna of transmitter 20.
In block 208, receiver 30 may calculate a received signal strength of the wireless signal received by receiver 30 from transmitter 20 based on the received signal strength of the wireless signal received by each antenna of receiver 30 from each antenna of transmitter 20. For example, but not limited to, the receiver 30 may calculate an average of the received signal strengths of the wireless signals from each antenna of the transmitter 20 received by each antenna of the receiver 30 as the received signal strength of the wireless signals from the transmitter 20 received by the receiver 30.
In block 210, receiver 30 may determine whether the received signal strength of the wireless signal received by receiver 30 from transmitter 20 is greater than a received signal strength threshold H. Here, for example, but not limited to, the received signal strength of the wireless signal from the transmitter 20 received by the receiver 30 when the person in the closed area a is crowded may be taken as the received signal strength threshold H.
In block 212, receiver 30 may determine whether the enclosed area a is congested based on the determination of block 210. Specifically, if the determination result of block 210 indicates that the received signal strength of the wireless signal from the transmitter 20 received by the receiver 30 is greater than the received signal strength threshold H, the receiver 30 may determine that there is no crowd in the enclosed area a, and if the determination result of block 210 indicates that the received signal strength of the wireless signal from the transmitter 20 received by the receiver 30 is not greater than the received signal strength threshold H, the receiver 30 may determine that the crowd in the enclosed area a.
Referring now to fig. 3, there is shown a schematic diagram of a system for congestion detection in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the system 40 may include a transmitter 50 and a receiver 60. The transmitter 50 and the receiver 60 are respectively located at different positions in the area a ', for example, but not limited to, the transmitter 50 and the receiver 60 are respectively disposed at both ends of the area a ' such that the wireless signal transmitted by the transmitter 50 covers the entire area a '. Here, the region a' may be a full closed region, a semi closed region, or an open region.
Transmitter 50 may include three antennas TC1, TC2, and TC3, and receiver 60 may include three antennas RC1, RC2, and RC 3. The antennas TC1, TC2, TC3, RC1, RC2 and RC3 are of the same type, all belonging to leaky coaxial cables or leaky waveguides.
The propagation of signals between the antennas TC1, TC2, TC3 of the transmitter 50 and the antennas RC1, RC2, RC3 of the receiver 60 may be line-of-sight or reflection propagation of signals. Fig. 4 shows an example of wireless signal propagation between an antenna of a transmitter 50 and an antenna of a receiver 60.
The method of detecting whether the area a' is congested with people using the system shown in fig. 3 is the same as the method shown in fig. 2, and thus, a detailed description thereof is omitted herein.
As can be seen from the above description, the solution of the embodiment of the present invention can detect whether an area is congested with people in a simple manner by placing a transmitter and a receiver at different positions in the area and determining whether the area is congested with people according to the received signal strength of a wireless signal received by the receiver from the transmitter and a received signal strength threshold.
Other variants
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that although the transmitter 50 and the receiver 60 each include three antennas in the second embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto.

In other embodiments of the present invention, line-of-sight propagation of wireless signals may also exist between the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30 if the receiver 30 is able to distinguish between line-of-sight propagation and reflected propagation of signals, in which case the receiver 30 removes the line-of-sight propagated signals from the received wireless signals and uses only the remaining reflected propagated signals to calculate the received signal strength of the wireless signals received by the receiver 30 from the transmitter 20. Alternatively, in some embodiments of the present invention, line-of-sight propagation of wireless signals may also exist between the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30, but the signal strength of the line-of-sight propagated signals between the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30 is made less than a predetermined threshold by a suitable method (e.g., without limitation, by adjusting the direction between the polarity of the antenna of the transmitter 20 and the polarity of the antenna of the receiver 30, etc.) so that the line-of-sight propagated signals between the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30 do not significantly interfere with the reflection propagated signals between the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30, in which case the received signal strength of the wireless signals from the transmitter 20 received by the receiver 30 can be calculated using the line-of-sight propagated signals and the reflection propagated signals between the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30.
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that although the transmitter 20 and the receiver 30 each include a plurality of antennas in the first embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto.
