1. A method comprising:
providing a device to a user, wherein the device includes a processor and a time-of-flight radar, wherein the processor is coupled to the time-of-flight radar, wherein the time-of-flight radar is configured to operate in a K-band, wherein the processor is programmed to allow the user to geofence or define an area of interest; and
instructing the user to:
position the device within a defined area having an object positioned therein, and
activate the time-of-flight radar to operate in the K-band within the defined area such that the time-of-flight radar operating in the K-band within the defined area tracks the object positioned in the defined area, generates a set of data based on tracking the object positioned in the defined area, and sends the set of data to the processor such that the processor determines whether the object is experiencing an event within the defined area based on the set of data, ignores the set of data for outside the area of interest, and takes an action responsive to the event determined to be occurring within the defined area, wherein (i) the processor is programmed to allow the user to geofence or define the area of interest based on the defined area having an interior perimeter and the user being instructed to walk around the interior perimeter and notify the time-of-flight radar as to when the time-of-flight radar should take a measurement of a position of the user, or (ii) the processor is programmed to allow the user to geofence or define the area of interest based on the user being instructed to provide or draw a map of the defined area on a computing device and place the time-of-flight radar in the map for the processor of the device to access.
