System to automatically locally control a device according to preferences of a user entering a local area of the device from a remote area
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a sensor generating measurement information based upon a patient parameter measured by the sensor;
a processor managing local output of the measurement information according to automatically detected control signals locally and wirelessly transmitted from a transmitter entering a local area of the sensor from a remote area; and
a storage unit storing preferences of the user and the control signals include identification information of the user, the processor managing the local output of the measurement information according to the preferences of the user based upon identifying the user from the control signals.

Abstract
The present invention provides sensor generating measurement information based upon a patient parameter measured by the sensor and a processor managing local output of the measurement information according to automatically detected control signals locally and wirelessly transmitted from a transmitter entering a local area of the sensor from a remote area. The control signals include identification of a user and the transmitter travels with the user entering the local area of the sensor from a remote area so that the processor can manage local output of the measurement information according to stored preferences of the user. The processor can also control patient parameter measurements according to the preferences of the user.
