Method for controlling a daily living activity monitoring system from a remote location
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a user in a user living area said system including a remote monitoring site, comprising;
- a system controller;
an activity detection subsystem for monitoring a daily living activity of said user independently of physiological measurements;
said activity detection subsystem having at least one detector device activated in response to occurrences of said daily living activity to provide to said system controller information representative of said occurrences of said daily living activity;
a control signal generated by said system controller in response to said information representative of said occurrences of said daily living activity;
a remotely received control signal received by said remote monitoring site by way of a control information communication channel in accordance with said control signal;
scheduled periodic reports on said occurrences of said daily living activity, said reports having collections of said information representative of said selected daily living activity; and
a control parameter in said user living area for controlling intervention in a selected activity of daily living in said user living area adjusted from said remote monitoring site in accordance with statistical operations performed on said information representative of a daily living activity.

Abstract
A system is provided for monitoring a user in a user living area. The system includes a system controller and an activity detection subsystem. The activity detection subsystem monitors a daily living activity of the user and provides information representative of the daily living activity to the system controller. The system controller includes a control circuit which generates a control signal in response to the daily living activity information obtained by the activity detection subsystem. Control information from the system controller is applied by way of a control information communication channel both to the activity detection subsystem and to a remote monitoring site. The activity detection subsystem may be a system for determining the movement of the user around the home, medication compliance by the user, problems with usage of stoves or other potentially dangerous appliances, and selected auxiliary appliances.
