Abstract

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: receiving a context boundary; receiving a boundary criteria for the context boundary; identifying a personal physical characteristic for monitoring a monitored person; detecting a personal noncompliance to the boundary criteria based on a discrepancy of the personal physical characteristic; and generating an alert based on the personal noncompliance for displaying on a device.

Claims

1. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:

receiving a context boundary;

receiving a boundary criteria for the context boundary;

identifying a personal physical characteristic for monitoring a monitored person;

detecting a personal noncompliance to the boundary criteria based on a discrepancy of the personal physical characteristic; and

generating an alert based on the personal noncompliance for displaying on a device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a context furnishing;

receiving a furnishing criteria for the context furnishing; and

detecting the personal noncompliance to the furnishing criteria based on the discrepancy with the personal physical characteristic.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

receiving the context boundary includes receiving an open space boundary;

receiving the boundary criteria includes receiving a non-movement time limit for the open space boundary;

identifying the personal physical characteristic includes identifying a limited ambulatory level; and

detecting the personal noncompliance includes detecting the limited ambulatory level within the open space boundary and exceeding the non-movement time limit.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a context furnishing;

detecting a personal location; and

wherein;

receiving the boundary criteria includes receiving a limited separation level from the context furnishing;

identifying the personal physical characteristic includes identifying a limited ambulatory level; and

detecting the personal noncompliance includes detecting the personal location separated beyond the limited separation level.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

detecting a personal location; and

wherein;

receiving the boundary criteria includes receiving a hazard;

identifying the personal physical characteristic includes identifying a fragile physical level; and

detecting the personal noncompliance includes detecting the personal location proximate to the hazard that is incompatible to the fragile physical level.

6. A method of operation of a navigation system comprising:

receiving a context boundary and a context furnishing;

receiving a boundary criteria and a furnishing criteria;

identifying a personal physical characteristic for monitoring a monitored person;

detecting a personal noncompliance to the boundary criteria and the furnishing criteria based on a discrepancy with the personal physical characteristic; and

generating an alert based on the personal noncompliance for displaying on a device.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

detecting a personal location; and

wherein;

receiving the boundary criteria includes receiving a non-movement time limit;

identifying the personal physical characteristic includes identifying a limited ambulatory level;

receiving the furnishing criteria includes receiving a rest point; and

detecting the personal noncompliance includes detecting the personal location away from the rest point and exceeding the non-movement time limit and the limited ambulatory level.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

receiving the boundary criteria includes receiving a non-movement time limit;

identifying the personal physical characteristic includes identifying a limited ambulatory level;

receiving the furnishing criteria includes receiving a rest point; and

further comprising;

detecting a personal location proximate to the rest point; and

modifying the non-movement time limit based on the limited ambulatory level and the rest point.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

detecting a personal rapid movement; and

wherein;

identifying the personal physical characteristic includes identifying a gradual movement level; and

detecting the personal noncompliance includes detecting the personal rapid movement that is incompatible with the gradual movement level.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:

receiving the context furnishing includes identifying a bed;

receiving the furnishing criteria includes receiving a non-movement time limit for the bed;

identifying the personal physical characteristic includes identifying a personal bedsore position; and

detecting the personal noncompliance to the furnishing criteria includes detecting the personal bedsore position on the bed and exceeding the non-movement time limit.

11. A navigation system comprising:

a context module for receiving a context boundary;

a criteria module, coupled to the context module, for receiving a boundary criteria for the context boundary;

an identify physical module, coupled to the criteria module, for identifying a personal physical characteristic for monitoring a monitored person;

a monitor criteria module, coupled to the identify physical module, for detecting a personal noncompliance to the boundary criteria based on a discrepancy of the personal physical characteristic; and

a generate alert module, coupled to the monitor criteria module, for generating an alert based on the personal noncompliance for displaying on a device.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein:
