Abstract

Providing life support services to a user, including receiving a plurality of disparate behavior indicators, filtering the behavior indicators for a user in dependence upon user filter attributes, producing filtered behavior indicators, and identifying a set of default behavior indicators that match the plurality of filtered behavior indicators, in which the set of default behavior indicators identify a default behavior pattern.

Claims

1. A method of providing life support services to a user, the method comprising:

receiving a plurality of disparate behavior indicators;

filtering the behavior indicators for a user in dependence upon user filter attributes, producing filtered behavior indicators; and

identifying a set of default behavior indicators that match the plurality of filtered behavior indicators, wherein the set of default behavior indicators identify a default behavior pattern.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising comparing the filtered behavior indicators with a plurality of past behavior records for a user.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein comparing the filtered behavior indicators with a plurality of past behavior records further comprises determining that a set of past behavior records identifying a behavior pattern for a user does not match the filtered behavior indicators.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying a set of default behavior indicators that match the plurality of filtered behavior indicators includes comparing the filtered behavior indicators with the default behavior indicators.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising identifying a default action to be taken in dependence upon the default behavior pattern.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising executing the identified default action.

7. A system for providing life support services to a user, the system comprising:

means for receiving a plurality of disparate behavior indicators;

means for filtering the behavior indicators for a user in dependence upon user filter attributes, means for producing filtered behavior indicators; and

means for identifying a set of default behavior indicators that match the plurality of filtered behavior indicators, wherein the set of default behavior indicators identify a default behavior pattern.

8. The system of claim 7 further comprising means for comparing the filtered behavior indicators with a plurality of past behavior records for a user.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein means for comparing the filtered behavior indicators with a plurality of past behavior records further comprises means for determining that a set of past behavior records identifying a behavior pattern for a user does not match the filtered behavior indicators.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein means for identifying a set of default behavior indicators that match the plurality of filtered behavior indicators includes means for comparing the filtered behavior indicators with the default behavior indicators.

11. The system of claim 7 further comprising means for identifying a default action to be taken in dependence upon the default behavior pattern.

12. The system of claim 11 further comprising means for executing the identified default action.

13. A computer program product for providing life support services to a user, the computer program product comprising:

a recording medium;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for receiving a plurality of disparate behavior indicators;

means, recorded on the recording medium, for filtering the behavior indicators for a user in dependence upon user filter attributes, means, recorded on the recording medium, for producing filtered behavior indicators; and

means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying a set of default behavior indicators that match the plurality of filtered behavior indicators, wherein the set of default behavior indicators identify a default behavior pattern.

14. The computer program product of claim 13 further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for comparing the filtered behavior indicators with a plurality of past behavior records for a user.

15. The computer program product of claim 14 wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for comparing the filtered behavior indicators with a plurality of past behavior records further comprises means, recorded on the recording medium, for determining that a set of past behavior records identifying a behavior pattern for a user does not match the filtered behavior indicators.

16. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying a set of default behavior indicators that match the plurality of filtered behavior indicators includes means, recorded on the recording medium, for comparing the filtered behavior indicators with the default behavior indicators.

17. The computer program product of claim 13 further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for identifying a default action to be taken in dependence upon the default behavior pattern.

18. The computer program product of claim 17 further comprising means, recorded on the recording medium, for executing the identified default action.
