(11/8) Weekly Status Update: Jeffrey

This week I did more research into our trilateration method and how we were going to get it to work. After writing up ways of how our trilateration would work, I realized a major flaw in our design. The trilateration design that people have implemented in papers depend on having stable known wireless access points to read from. Within a house there are stable wireless access points to read from but the distance to them is unknown and would require an enormous amount of setup time to find those values out. So, with that in mind, I managed to quickly find another approach to find out location that would suit our needs. For our device, we really just want to know if a person is within some region.  So I planned out a technique that uses two wireless access points between a region we want to check if a person enters. This happens to be our hub and our camera. If the wearable device sends its location to the hub and its distances from both the camera and hub are within some threshold, we can determine that the person had entered that defined region attributing any mess caused to them.
