SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING PHYSICAL, BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A PERSON, ANIMAL, OBJECT AND/OR SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring at least one dynamic characteristic, comprising:
- performing a user interactive session by displaying a plurality of user interactive screens and receiving a user input to permit a user to select a set of parameters in a software application to control operations of a portable communication device, said set of parameters includinginformation to be output from said portable communication device,at least one condition, that is determinable using data relating to said dynamic characteristic, under which said portable communication device is to output said information, andidentification of at least one external device that is intended to receive at least a portion of said information and is remote from said portable communication device;
collecting, by an RFID tag and sensor module (RFID-TSM) disposed on a body, said data relating to said dynamic characteristic;
communicating said data relating to said dynamic characteristic from said RFID-TSM to said portable communication device, said portable communication device comprising an RFID reader and said software application with said user selected set of parameters;
determining, at said portable communication device, if said condition exits by using said data relating to said dynamic characteristic, and said software application; and
in response to a determination that said condition exists, communicating at least a portion of said information to said external device.

Abstract
Systems (100) and methods (500, 600) for monitoring at least one dynamic characteristic (DC) of a surface or surrounding environment. An RFID Tag and Sensor Module (RFID-TSM) is disposed on a surface. The RFID-TSM (1081, . . . , 108N) collects information relating to DC. A communication device (CD) is disposed within a communications range of DC. CD (102) comprises an RFID reader (104) and customizable software application (258). The RFID-TSM senses DC and communicates data relating to DC to CD. CD determines if a condition exits using the data and software application. In response to the existence of the condition, an operation is performed by CD using the software application. The operation can involve communicating the data and other information to at least one external device (112, 116) that is remote from CD. The condition, operation, information and external device can be defined by a consumer during a user-interactive session.

19. A system, comprising:
-
at least one RFID tag and sensor module (RFID-TSM) disposed on a body, said RFID-TSM being configured to collect data relating to at least one dynamic characteristic of at least one of said body or a surrounding environment; a smart phone comprising an RFID reader and a software application customized by a user during a user-interactive session, said smart phone being a portable device located within a communications range of said RFID-TSM and configured for; receiving said data from said RFID-TSM; determining if at least one condition exits using said data and said software application; and in response to a determination that said condition exists, performing at least one operation using said software application, said operation involving communicating information to an external device remote from said smart phone; wherein said condition, said operation, said information and said external device were defined by said user in said user-interactive session. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
