Abstract

A method is provided for monitoring a person in a dwelling. A detection is made of at least one of a person'"'"'s motion, movement and gesture with a detection device. The detection device includes at least one motion/movement gesture sensing device. Communication is made from the detection device to a user monitoring device including at least two elements selected from: a proximity sensor; a temperature sensor/humidity sensor; a particulate sensor; a light sensor; a microphone; a speaker; two RF transmitters (BLE/ANT+WIFI); a memory card; and LED'"'"'s.

Claims

7-1. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

detecting at least one of motion, movement and gestures of a person over a certain threshold.
