Monitoring activity of an individual
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for monitoring activity of an individual, comprising:
- monitoring multiple sensors to identify activations of at least one sensor;
associating a number of rules defining a number of actions to be taken based upon activations of the at least one sensor; and
applying a rule associated with the activation of the at least one sensor to determine whether to take an action wherein the rule includes checking for at least one other sensor activation to confirm whether the action should be initiated.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods, devices, and systems to monitor activity. One method to monitor activity includes monitoring activity of an individual including detecting a sensor activated by an individual during the individual'"'"'s daily activities. The embodiment also includes comparing the sensor activation to a predetermined sensor activation timeframe, determining whether to initiate an alert based upon the comparison, and checking for at least one other sensor activation to confirm whether an alert should be initiated.

14. A system for monitoring activity, comprising:
-
a number of sensors to be activated by an individual;
a logic component to;
institute multiple rules for determining whether to initiate an alert based upon one or more activations of the sensors;
initiate a first rule based upon an identification of a first sensor activation;
initiate a first timer for monitoring a sensor activation according to the first rule;
initiate a second timer for monitoring the time between a first sensor activation and at least one second sensor activation according to the first rule; and
determine whether an action should be initiated based upon the analysis of whether the first rule has been met. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
