25 claims: 8 independent, 17 dependent

  1. 1
    A detection system for analyzing personal behavioral traits of a subject and matching such traits with known trait profiles, comprising:a plurality of sensors, each monitoring a respective condition, having sensor output signals, each said output signal indicative of a subject criteria;said criteria chosen from the set of height, weight, stride, pace, speed;a sensor reading repository connected to said plurality of sensors for storing a plurality of said sensor output signals;a profile generator, connected to said sensor reading repository, receiving said sensor output signals and generating a subject profile from said plurality of sensor output signals;an accepted profile repository for storing a plurality of accepted subject profiles;a profile verifier for receiving said subject profiles for comparing said subject profile to said plurality of accepted profiles, and for generating profile output signals in response to said comparing.
  2. 4
    The system as in one of the preceding claims further comprising:a graphical user interface connected to said profile verifier and adapted to respond to said profile verifier by generating output display signals.
  3. 5
    The system as in one of the preceding claims wherein said sensor reading repository further comprises a time stamp associated with each of said plurality of sensor output signals.
  4. 6
    The system as in one of the preceding claims wherein said profile verifier is operative to update said accepted profile repository in response to said comparison of said subject profile with said plurality of accepted subject profiles.
  5. 8
    The system as in one of the preceding claims further comprising a plurality of bins, wherein said sensor output signals indicative of said subject criteria are classified in said plurality of bins and said bins denote a predetermined range of said sensor output signals.
  6. 13
    A method of matching patterns indicative of personal characteristic traits, comprising the steps of:a) reading a plurality of sensors each monitoring a respective condition;b) determining at least one criteria value from each said reading by a processor in communication with said plurality of sensors, said criteria chosen from the set of height, weight, stride, pace, speed;c) storing said at least one criteria value in a sensor reading database associated with said processor;d) building a subject profile by said processor from said at least one criteria value;e) storing a plurality of accepted subject profiles in an accepted profile database;and f) comparing said subject profile to said plurality of accepted subject profiles in said accepted profile datebase.
  7. 16
    The method as in one of claims 13 to 15 wherein said step of determining said at least one criteria value further comprises calculating a bin value, wherein said bin value denotes a subrange of values for said criteria.
  8. 20
    The method as in one of claims 17 to 19 wherein said subject profile is comprised of a series of said bin values for said at least one criteria value.
