Moscow. September 30th. INTERFAX.RU – Scientists of the Faculty of Automation and Computer Engineering of the Novosibirsk State Technical University (NSTU) have developed software that is installed directly on Wi-Fi points and allows them to detect a person in a room using triangulation, the press service of the university reports.
We are talking about cases when a stranger enters an empty room. This is usually detected using complex signaling.
The new technology provides only for the installation of software on Wi-Fi access points, which is available to any user, according to the NSTU.
“The technology assumes a two-stage detection system. The first stage captures changes in signal level fluctuations between access points. Ideally, there should be three such points. this, “- said in a press release.
“The principle of the system is based on triangulation (a method for determining the location of a cellular subscriber) between Wi-Fi access points,” said Ivan Reva, Dean of the Faculty of Automation and Computer Engineering at NSTU NETI.
If a person has active Wi-Fi, the system immediately detects the presence of a new device by the signal level, even if the stranger's gadget is not connected to this Wi-Fi point.
The system is designed for office space and rooms up to 70 sq. m, it was tested in university premises and is still used for private needs in the order of experimental use.
