Intelligent system and method for monitoring activity and comfort
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring activity and comfort of at least one subject, comprising:
- at least one data acquisition unit comprising a modular and variable set of sensors comprising a number of sensors, which nature and connection are combined according to needs of the at least one subject under monitoring; and
at least one control unit connected to said at least one data acquisition unit;
wherein said at least one data acquisition unit further comprises devices selected in the group consisting of a microphone, a loudspeaker, a radio receiver, a radio transmitter, a camera and a video transmitter; and
wherein said at least one control unit comprises modules selected in the group consisting of sound modules and audio/video modules.

Abstract
The system and the method of the present invention allows a person in charge (P) to monitor, and to act on, the activity level, physical or cerebral, and the comfort level of one ore more subject (S) simultaneously, from a distance, by the provision of a combination of sensors, at least one processing unit, a communication unit vice and at least one control unit, whereby depending on a specific needs of the subject, complementary sensors are selected to measure complementary parameters of the subject (S) and/or of the subject'"'"'s environment (E) and to process and interpret these measured parameters so as to assess a level of global or localized comfort, in such a way that these parameters are available to the person in charge (P).
