METHOD AND A SYSTEM FOR MONITORING A PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETER OF A SUBJECT
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring a physiological parameter of a subject by a monitoring system comprising a receiving device and a plurality of measuring devices each measuring a physiological parameter of a respective subject, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by a receiving device, a request message which includes a receiving device identification number of the receiving device;
receiving, by the receiving device, a registration message from at least one measuring device of the plurality of measuring devices, the registration message including a measuring device identification number of the at least one measuring device;
registering, by the receiving device, the at least one measuring device by means of the measuring device identification number if the registration message from the at least one measuring device includes the receiving device identification number of the receiving device;
receiving, by the receiving device, one or more data messages from the at least one measuring device, each data message including the measuring device identification number of, and a physiological parameter from, the at least one measuring device; and
processing the physiological parameter in each data message, by the receiving device, if the at least one measuring device has been registered by the receiving device;
wherein the range of the transmission of the request message between the receiving device and the at least one measuring device is shorter than the range of the transmission of each data message between the at least one measuring device and the receiving device, and/or the range of the transmission of the registration message between the at least one measuring device and the receiving device is shorter than the range of the transmission of each data message between the at least one measuring device and the receiving device.

Abstract
Embodiments provide a method which includes transmitting, by a receiving device (RD), a request message which includes a receiving device identification number (RDIN); receiving, by the RD, a registration message including a measuring device identification number (MDIN) from a measuring device (MD); registering, by the RD, the MD by means of the MDIN if the registration message from the MD includes the RDIN; receiving, by the RD, one or more data messages from the MD, each data message including the MDIN and a physiological parameter; and processing the physiological parameter in each data message, by the RD, if the MD has been registered by the RD. The range of the transmission of the request message between the RD and the MD is shorter than the range of the transmission of each data message between the MD and the RD, and/or the range of the transmission of the registration message between the MD and the RD is shorter than the range of the transmission of each data message between the MD and the RD. Embodiments also provide a corresponding monitoring system.

39. A method for monitoring a physiological parameter of a subject by a monitoring system comprising a receiving device and a plurality of measuring devices each measuring a physiological parameter of a respective subject, the method comprising:
-
registering, by the receiving device, at least one measuring device of the plurality of measuring devices by means of a measuring device registration identification number of the at least one measuring device, if a registration message including the measuring device registration identification number of the at least one measuring device from the at least one measuring device has been received by the receiving device; receiving, by the receiving device, one or more data messages from the at least measuring device, each data message including a measuring device data transmission identification number of, and a physiological parameter from, the at least one measuring device; processing the physiological parameter in each data message, by the receiving device, if the at least one measuring device has been registered by the receiving device; wherein the range of the transmission of the registration message between the at least one measuring device and the receiving device is shorter than the range of the transmission of each data message between the at least one measuring device and the receiving device.

40. A monitoring system comprising a receiving device and a plurality of measuring devices each measuring a physiological parameter of a respective subject,
wherein the receiving device is configured to transmit a request message which includes a receiving device identification number of the receiving device; -
wherein the receiving device is further configured to receive a registration message from at least one measuring device of the plurality of measuring devices, the registration message including a measuring device identification number of the at least one measuring device; wherein the receiving device is further configured to register the at least one measuring device by means of the measuring device identification number if the registration message from the at least one measuring device includes the receiving device identification number of the receiving device; wherein the receiving device is further configured to receive one or more data messages from the at least one measuring device, each data message including the measuring device identification number of, and a physiological parameter from, the at least one measuring device; and wherein the receiving device is further configured to process the physiological parameter in each data message, if the at least one measuring device has been registered by the receiving device; wherein the range of the transmission of the request message between the receiving device and the at least one measuring device is shorter than the range of the transmission of each data message between the at least one measuring device and the receiving device, and/or the range of the transmission of the registration message between the at least one measuring device and the receiving device is shorter than the range of the transmission of each data message between the at least one measuring device and the receiving device. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 57, 59, 60, 62, 64, 65, 67, 69, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76)
