A method for monitoring motion of an entity within a predetermined
boundary established using a location detection technology. Sensor data
is acquired from a motion sensor that senses non-positional movement of
the entity and is attachable to the entity. A learned movement pattern
associated with the entity is accessed. Computing techniques are used to
analyze the acquired sensor data in relationship to the learned movement
pattern. A current movement pattern is identified based on the analysis.
It is determined whether the current movement pattern is a reportable
movement pattern, and if so, a predetermined action is performed.
