Abstract

A system for warning a party provided with a terminal comprises databases of profile information of the party, environment information of a geographical location, and location information of the terminal. The system is adapted to, based on location information of the terminal, to check whether the terminal locates within the geographical location, and if yes, to analyse profile information of the party so that if profile information comprises a parameter which matches with a corresponding parameter of environment information of a geographical location, a warning message is sent to the terminal in order to warn the party.

Claims

1. A warning system for warning a party provided with a terminal, wherein the system is provided with profile information of the party, the profile information comprising health information and information relating to a medication of the party being conditional on environments and/or weather conditions, environment and/or weather information of a geographical location, and location information of the terminal, and wherein the warning system comprises at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the warning system at least to perform

is checking based on location information of the terminal, whether the terminal locates within said geographical location, and if yes,

analysing profile information of the party and if profile information comprises a parameter of said health information and/or information relating to a medication of the party which matching with a corresponding parameter of environment and/or weather information of said geographical location, sending a dynamic warning message comprising a question to be answered to said terminal, and based on the answer performing at least one additional task of:

informing a third party, providing instructions to be displayed on the terminal, and warning the party via said terminal.

2. The warning system according to claim 1, wherein said terminal is a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone, and its location information is determined based on a base station serving said terminal, or said terminal is a fixed terminal, such as a land lined telephone.

3. The warning system according to claim 1, wherein profile information of the party comprises information relating to a health status of the party, and/or information of probable location of the party in a certain moment of time based on gathered location versus time information of the party in the past.

4. The warning system according to claim 1, wherein environment information of the geographical location comprises information relating to weather, traffic information, natural phenomena and/or certain special information relating a certain location.

5. The warning system according to claim 3, wherein the system is configured to perform:

predicting the location where the party will locate in the near future in a certain probability based on gathered data and in addition, using this predicted location information as location information of the terminal when checking whether said terminal locates within said geographical location.

6. A warning method for warning a party provided with a terminal, wherein profile information of the party comprising health information and information relating to a medication of the party being conditional on environments and/or weather conditions, environment and/or weather information of a geographical location, and location information of the terminal is gathered, the warning method comprising

checking based on location information of the terminal, whether the terminal locates within said geographical location, and if yes,

analysing profile information of the party and if profile information comprises a parameter of said health information and/or information relating to a medication of the party which matches with a corresponding parameter of environment and/or weather information of said geographical location, sending a dynamic warning message comprising a question to be answered to said terminal, and based on the answer performing at least one additional task of:

informing third party, providing instructions to be displayed on the terminal, and warn the party via said terminal.

7. The warning method according to claim 6, wherein said terminal is a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone, and its location information is determined based on a base station serving said terminal, or said terminal is a fixed terminal, such as a land lined telephone.

8. The warning method according to claim 6, wherein profile information of the party comprises information relating to a health status of the party, and/or information of probable location of the party in a certain moment of time based on gathered location versus time information of the party in the past.

9. The warning method according to claim 6, wherein environment information of the geographical location comprises information relating to weather, traffic information, natural phenomena and/or certain special information relating a certain location.

10. The warning method according to claim 8, wherein the location where the party will locate in the near future in a certain probability is predicted based on gathered data and in addition this predicted location information is used as location information of the terminal when checking whether said terminal locates within said geographical location.

11. A computer program product directly loadable into the internal memory of a digital computer, said computer program product comprising software code portions for performing the steps of claim 6 when said product is run on a computer.

12. A computer program product stored on a computer usable medium comprising computer readable program means for causing a computer to perform the steps of claim 6 when said product is run on a computer.
