Abstract

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices emphasizes a greater connection between humans and smart technology. From computer peripherals, personal electronics, and domestic appliances to building access management, healthcare, and security systems, modern applications are generating as much data or more than they are receiving from other sources. Human presence is a type of data that is becoming a compelling requirement for a plethora of today’s applications that must ensure seamless interactions of users with the systems and their associated services. The ultra low-power, high performance presence detection system is an accelerometer-based system capable of person detection, people counting, and operating as a low-power wake-up system for older, resource-intensive systems. Utilizing STMicroelectronics’ software and hardware we seek the sustainability, efficiency, and ethical standards that are necessary to prepare for the smart world with increased energy usage and privacy risks.
