Abstract

Un détecteur de mouvement détecte des valeurs de la crête d'accélération, les trois directions perpendiculaires les unes aux autres étant appliquées au détecteur de mouvement, et détecte les intervalles de temps entre les crêtes dans les trois directions. Le détecteur de mouvement calcule le cycle de pointe indicateur de la valeur moyenne du temps crête à crête de chaque direction. Si les cycles de crête d'au moins deux directions ou de deux fois les cycles de crête se trouvent dans une première plage de consigne prédéterminée, le détecteur de mouvement juge que la personne sous surveillance et porteuse du détecteur de mouvement se déplace. Inversement, si les cycles de pointe des deux directions sont en dehors de la première plage de consigne, le détecteur juge que la personne ne se déplace pas nécessairement.
