Abstract

This disclosure relates to a system and method for providing a caretaker reminder application. A caretaker reminder system can comprise a Bluetooth transceiver, a device memory, and a device processor. The device memory can store an alert and a caretaker reminder application. The device processor can, according to the instruction from the caretaker reminder application provide, upon connecting by the Bluetooth transceiver to a dedicated Bluetooth beacon mountable to an auxiliary power outlet, a graphical user interface viewable to a user on a display. The graphical user interface can provide the user an option to put the caretaker reminder application in a monitoring mode. Additionally, the device processor can, alert the user when the Bluetooth transceiver loses connection with the dedicated Bluetooth beacon if the caretaker reminder application is in the monitoring mode.

Claims

1. A caretaker reminder system comprising

a Bluetooth transceiver;

a device memory that stores

an alert; and

a caretaker reminder application; and

a device processor that, according to the instructions from said caretaker reminder application

provides, upon connecting by said Bluetooth transceiver to a dedicated Bluetooth beacon mountable to an auxiliary power outlet, a graphical user interface viewable to a user on a display, said graphical user interface providing said user an option to put said caretaker reminder application in a monitoring mode;

alerts said user with an alert when said Bluetooth transceiver loses connection with said dedicated Bluetooth beacon if said caretaker reminder application is in said monitoring mode.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein said Bluetooth transceiver loses connection with said dedicated Bluetooth beacon when said auxiliary power outlet stops providing power to said dedicated Bluetooth beacon.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein said Bluetooth transceiver loses connection with said dedicated Bluetooth beacon when said Bluetooth transceiver is out of range of said Bluetooth beacon.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein said alert comprises an alert message.

5. The system of claim 4 wherein said alert message is a customized message.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein said alert comprises a sound.

7. The system of claim 6 wherein said sound comprises a voice recording.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein said caretaker reminder application runs on a mobile phone.

9. The system of claim 1 wherein said caretaker reminder application runs on a smart watch.

10. The system of claim 1 wherein said caretaker reminder application runs on a personal digital assistant (PDA).

11. The system of claim 1 wherein said caretaker reminder application runs on a tablet.

17. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, wherein the computer readable program code is adapted to be executed to implement the method of claim 1.

12. A method for providing a caretaker reminder application comprising the steps of

providing, upon connecting by a Bluetooth transceiver to a dedicated Bluetooth beacon mountable to an auxiliary power outlet, a graphical user interface viewable to a user on a display, said graphical user interface providing said user an option to put said caretaker reminder application in a monitoring mode;

alerting said user with an alert when said Bluetooth transceiver loses connection with said dedicated Bluetooth beacon if said caretaker reminder application is in said monitoring mode.

13. The method of claim 12 further comprising the step of customizing said alert on said mobile device.

14. The method of claim 14 wherein said alerting said user comprises displaying a message on a display.

15. The method of claim 14 wherein said alerting said user comprises playing a sound.

16. The method of claim 14 further comprising transmitting a text to a recipient if said user does not respond to said alert
