Wireless Fault Monitoring System
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring for a fault in a mobility aid, comprising:
- a fault detector for detecting a fault in the mobility aid;
a signal generator for generating a signal representative of the fault;
a wireless transmitter for transmitting the fault signal;
a wireless receiver for receiving the fault signal;
wherein the receiver is further operable for causing an alert to be sent to an operator that the mobility aid requires attention.

Abstract
If a mobility aid develops a problem, the person controlling the aid may be unable to move or request assistance or call for help. Furthermore, even if someone was alerted to their predicament, that person may not be able to identify and thus rectify the problem expediently without expert assistance. A system (10) for monitoring for a fault in a mobility aid (12) includes a fault detector for detecting a fault in the mobility aid. The system also includes a signal generator (14) for generating a signal representative of the fault is also provided. A wireless transmitter (16) for transmitting fault signal, and a wireless receiver (18) for receiving the fault signal are also provided. The receiver is also operable for causing an alert to be sent to an operator that the mobility aid (12) requires attention.
