MANAGING HEALTH DATA FROM WITHIN AND OUTSIDE A UPnP NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method of managing health measurement data on a health management host device in a Universal Plug and Play (“
- UPnP”
) network, the method comprising;
transmitting a health data query utilizing a UPnP request to a health sensor device, the health data query using a UPnP request protocol;
receiving health measurement data from the health sensor device via a UPnP interaction;
storing the health measurement data as a personal health record in a data storage component in the host device; and
managing access to the health measurement data using a UPnP health management service, wherein the host device and the health sensor device are discoverable in the UPnP network.

Abstract
Health data measurement devices may be used in a UPnP home network to obtain health data and have the data stored in personal health records in an application hosting device in the network. Various types of devices may be used to access the data and to render the data on displays in the home network, such as televisions, using UPnP protocols. A health sensor device has an IP-LAN UPnP health service module and a possible a control point. An application hosting device, which stores and manages the health data, has a host UPnP health service module and may also have a control point. A remote device, such as a cell phone, may be used to remotely access health data on the application hosting device. A remote device description is dynamically generated by the hosting device based on a configuration set in a remote access service on the hosting device. The remote device description is generated dynamically (“on the fly”) as the remote device attempts to access data in the UPnP network.

19. A system for managing health sensor measurement data in a UPnP network, the system comprising:
-
a health-management application hosting device storing personal health sensor data and having a first UPnP service module for managing the personal health sensor data, an access control component for controlling access to the health sensor data, and a health data synchronization module; and a health sensor device executing biometric readings and storing said biometric readings of a user and having an IP-enabled interface, second UPnP service module, a health-sensor device control point module, and biometric functionality, wherein the biometric readings are stored as the personal health sensor data on the health-management application hosting device and are transmitted using a UPnP interaction, and wherein the health-sensor device control point module communicates with the first UPnP service module on the health-monitoring hosting device. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A health data management apparatus comprising:
-
a processor; a network interface; a storage component for storing a health data synchronization module executed by the processor, wherein the module manages health sensor data stored in the storage component and formulates a personal health record containing health sensor data for one user; and an access control module for controlling access to the health sensor data from a remote device, and a dynamic device description generation module for generating a device description used to determine access rights of a remote device. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31)

32. A method of a remotely accessing health measurement data in a UPnP network, the method comprising:
-
receiving a request from a remote device to access health data on a health data server; verifying security access of the remote device to ensure that the remote device can securely access data on the health data server; generating a device description for the remote device using a device description generator; and determining health data access authorization of the remote device by examining health data access information and the device description. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36)
