1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a first network node and from a communication device, a voice utterance of a user;
from the voice utterance, the first network node determining whether the user has a target physical condition, wherein the target physical condition is a temporally limited altered condition of the user; and
wherein determining whether the user has the target physical condition comprises determining a level of confidence that the user has the altered physical condition;
if the level of confidence is above a first threshold, configuring the first network node according to a first set of rules;
if the level of confidence is above a second threshold higher than the first threshold, configuring the first network node according to a second set of rules;
if the level of confidence is below the first threshold, configuring the first network node according to a third set of rules;
wherein each of the third set of rules, first set of rules and second set of rules are each distinct and feature increasing levels of adjustments respectively; and
wherein in the second set of rules an incoming call from a third party or an outgoing call to a third party is redirected or delayed by the communication device before said call is completed.

9. A communication device, comprising:
-
a memory; a graphical user interface; a processor in communication with the memory and the graphical user interface, the processor configured to execute a user diagnostic functionality, the user diagnostic functionality operable to; determine whether a user likely has a target physical condition based upon analysis of a voice utterance; determine a severity of the target physical condition, wherein the target physical condition is a temporally limited altered condition of the user; and based on the severity of the target physical condition, configure the graphical user interface to allow the user to interface with the communication device while in the temporally limited altered condition; wherein determining whether a user likely has a target physical condition comprises determining a level of confidence that the user has the temporally limited altered condition; wherein if the level of confidence is above a first threshold, configuring the graphical user interface according to a first set of rules; wherein if the level of confidence is above a second threshold higher than the first threshold, configuring the graphical user interface according to a second set of rules; wherein if the level of confidence is below the first threshold, configuring the graphical user interface according to a third set of rules; and wherein each of the third set of rules, first set of rules and second set of rules are each distinct and feature increasing levels of adjustments respectively. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a network node, wherein the network node comprises a memory and a processor, a speech unit from a user from a user'"'"'s communication device; analyzing, by the network node, the speech unit to determine whether the user has an altered physical condition, the analysis being based on a comparison of the speech unit against an speech unit spoken by the user when in a normal unaltered state; determining a level of confidence that the user has the altered physical condition; wherein if the level of confidence is above a first threshold, configuring the communication device according to a first set of rules; wherein if the level of confidence is above a second threshold higher than the first threshold, configuring the communication device according to a second set of rules; wherein if the level of confidence is below the first, configuring the communication device according to a third set of rules; and wherein the third set of rules, first set of rules, and second set of rules are each distinct, and feature increasing levels of adjustments respectively. - View Dependent Claims (20)
