Abstract

A communications network and method for remote interaction with an individual includes a server that generates computer executable commands comprising any of queries, instructions, and messages; and a remote system in wireless communication with the server through a communications channel, wherein the remote system executes the computer executable commands, and interacts with an environment remotely located from the server, wherein the remote system comprises a processor that allows the individual to interact with the remote system. The remote system comprises any of a panic system and a sleep surveillance system. The interaction with the individual comprises providing educational training for the individual by the execution of the any of queries, instructions, and messages. The remote system performs any of law enforcement surveillance of the individual and security monitoring of the environment. The interaction with the individual comprises any of audio and video interactions.

Claims

1. A communications network for remote interaction with an individual, said network comprising:

a communications channel;

a server adapted to generate one or more computer executable commands comprising any of queries, instructions, and messages; and

a remote system in wireless communication with said server through said communications channel, wherein said remote system is adapted to execute said one or more computer executable commands, and interact with an environment remotely located from said server, wherein said remote system comprises a processor adapted to allow said individual to interact with said remote system.

2. The network of claim 1, wherein said remote system comprises a panic system.

3. The network of claim 1, wherein said remote system comprises a sleep surveillance system.

4. The network of claim 1, wherein the interaction with said individual comprises providing educational training for said individual by the execution of said any of queries, instructions, and messages.

5. The network of claim 1, wherein said remote system is adapted to perform law enforcement surveillance of said individual.

6. The network of claim 1, wherein said remote system is adapted to perform security monitoring of said environment.

7. The network of claim 1, wherein the interaction with said individual comprises any of audio and video interactions.

8. A communications network for remote monitoring of an environment, said network comprising:

a communications channel;

a server adapted to transmit data and generate one or more computer executable commands comprising any of queries, instructions, and messages; and

a remotely programmable apparatus operatively connected to said server and adapted to execute said one or more computer executable commands, monitor an environment surrounding said remotely programmable apparatus, and transmit data pertaining to the monitored environment to said server.

9. The network of claim 8, wherein said remotely programmable apparatus comprises a panic system.

10. The network of claim 8, wherein said remotely programmable apparatus comprises a sleep surveillance system.

11. The network of claim 8, wherein said remotely programmable apparatus is adapted to perform law enforcement surveillance of an environment surrounding said remotely programmable apparatus.

12. The network of claim 8, wherein said remotely programmable apparatus is adapted to perform security monitoring of an environment surrounding said remotely programmable apparatus.

13. The network of claim 8, wherein said remotely programmable apparatus is adapted to monitor inventory levels of health supplies located at an environment surrounding said remotely programmable apparatus.

14. A method of remotely monitoring an environment over a communications network, said method comprising:

generating, at a server, one or more computer executable commands comprising any of queries, instructions, and messages;

executing, at a remotely programmable apparatus, said one or more computer executable commands;

monitoring an environment surrounding said remotely programmable apparatus; and

said remotely programmable apparatus transmitting data pertaining to the monitored environment to said server.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein said remotely programmable apparatus comprises a panic system.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein said remotely programmable apparatus comprises a sleep surveillance system.

17. The method of claim 14, wherein said remotely programmable apparatus is adapted to perform law enforcement surveillance of an environment surrounding said remotely programmable apparatus.

18. The method of claim 14, wherein said remotely programmable apparatus is adapted to perform security monitoring of an environment surrounding said remotely programmable apparatus.

19. The method of claim 14, wherein said remotely programmable apparatus is adapted to monitor inventory levels of health supplies located at an environment surrounding said remotely programmable apparatus.

20. The method of claim 14, further comprising said remotely programmable apparatus interacting with said monitored environment.
