EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND TRACKING USING LIGHTING NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method of obtaining a health condition and target location of a user associated with a body worn device, the method comprising acts of:
- monitoring, using the body worn device a health condition of user;
communicating an indication of the health condition to a server over a network;
determining, using the indication, whether a redetermined health condition is present in the user;
providing a network formed of a plurality of lighting units and a database for maintaining information describing a geographic location of the plurality of lighting units, each lighting unit transmitting a unique identifier;
providing the body worn device with a lighting unit identifier sensor, the sensor receiving lighting unit identifiers of at least one of the plurality of lighting units;
the body worn device communicating the received lighting unit identifiers with the indication in a message to the server via the network; and
the database providing a geographic location of the one or more lighting units based on the received lighting unit identifiers, the one or more geographic locations corresponding to the target location of the body worn device, andif the predetermined health condition is present, determining one or more predetermined actions.

Abstract
Obtaining a target location of a user associated with a body worn device (50) that receiving information related to a condition of user and communicates an indication of the condition to a server (12) over a network (24). The method including: providing a network (24) formed of a plurality of lighting units (42, 32) and a database (22) for maintaining information describing a geographic location of each of the plurality of lighting units, each lighting unit transmitting a unique identifier; providing the body worn device with a lighting unit identifier sensor (52), the sensor receiving lighting unit identifiers of at least one of the plurality of lighting units; the body worn device communicating the received lighting unit identifiers with the indication in a message to the server via the network; and the database providing a geographic location of the one or more lighting units, the geographic location corresponding to the target location of the body worn device.

13. A system for obtaining a health condition and geographic location of a user, the system comprising:
-
a network formed of a plurality of lighting units and a database for maintaining information describing a geographic location of the plurality of lighting units, each lighting unit transmitting a unique identifier; a server connected to the network for communicating an indication of the health condition of a user condition and a location of the user to a monitoring system; and a body worn device worn by a user and configured to detect the user health condition and communicate the indication of the user condition to the server, the body worn device having a lighting unit identifier sensor for receiving lighting unit identifiers of at least one of the plurality of lighting units, the server receiving lighting unit identifiers and the indication from the body worn device, determining if a predetermined health condition is present using the indication, determining a geographic location of the one or more lighting units from the database, the geographic location corresponding to the target location of the body worn device and determining one or more predetermined actions in response to the predetermined health condition. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
