1. A personal emergency response system, comprising at least two sensor devices;
- anda remote server;
wherein each of the at least two sensor devices respectively comprises;
at least one sensor which provides sensor data; and
a transmission module which is adapted to use at least one mobile radio standard to transmit the sensor data directly, via the at least one mobile radio standard, to the remote server, wherein the mobile radio standard is selected from the group consisting of standard of a public radio network, standard of the local mobile radio network, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Edge Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), High Speed Packet Access (HSPA+), Long Term Evolution (LTE), and LTE Advanced,wherein the transmission module is further adapted to transmit the sensor data to the remote server, wherein the sensor data are only evaluated in the remote server, and the remote server triggers an alarm if the sensor data exceed a respective first predetermined threshold value corresponding to a respective one of the at least two sensor devices and if the at least two sensor devices deliver sensor data which exceed respective second predetermined threshold values corresponding to the respective sensor devices, wherein the respective second predetermined threshold values differ from the respective first predetermined threshold values, wherein the transmission module of a respective one of the at least two sensor devices is a one-way transmission system and the at least two sensor devices are only suitable for transmitting information and not for receiving enquiries or instructions created by the remote server;
wherein the at least one sensor of each respective one of the at least two sensor devices is selected from a group consisting of an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor, a blood oxygen saturation (Sp02) sensor, a tilt sensor, a fall sensor, an acceleration sensor, and a switch which enables manual triggering of an alarm at the remote server by a user.

Abstract
An alarm system comprises at least one sensor device and a remote server; wherein the sensor device comprises at least one sensor which provides sensor data; and a sensor module which is adapted to transmit the data independently and directly to the remote server, wherein the data are only evaluated in the server, without or without storage of the data and the server triggers an alarm, if the sensor data exceed a predetermined threshold value.

6. A method of operating a personal emergency response system, the personal emergency response system comprising a remote server and at least two sensor devices, respectively comprising at least one sensor to provide sensor data and a transmission module which uses at least one mobile radio standard to transmit the sensor data directly, via the at least one mobile radio standard, to the remote server, wherein the mobile radio standard is selected from the group consisting of standard of a public radio network, standard of the local mobile radio network, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Edge Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), High Speed Packet Access (HSPA+), Long Term Evolution (LTE), and LTE Advanced,
the method including: -
transmitting, by the respective transmission modules of the at least two sensor devices, the sensor data provided by the respective at least one sensor of the at least two sensor devices to the remote server, evaluating the sensor data transmitted to the remote server only in the remote server, and triggering an alarm by the remote server if the sensor data transmitted by a respective one of the at least two sensor devices exceed a respective first predetermined threshold value and if the at least two sensor devices deliver sensor data which exceed respective second predetermined threshold values corresponding to the respective sensor devices, wherein the respective second predetermined threshold values differ from the respective first threshold values; wherein the transmission modules of the at least two sensor devices are one-way transmission systems and the at least two sensor devices are only suitable for transmitting information and not for receiving enquiries or instructions created by the remote server receiving the sensor data, wherein the at least one sensor of a respective one of the at least two sensor devices is selected from a group consisting of an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor, a blood oxygen saturation (Sp02) sensor, a tilt sensor, a fall sensor, and an acceleration sensor, and wherein the at least two sensor devices keep relaying information after triggering the alarm. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
