1. An apparatus comprising:
- a motion sensor configured to detect motion of an object in a field of view of the apparatus;
a wireless communication network interface configured to receive dynamic context-aware content in response to the detection motion; and
a user interface output device configured to provide a user interpretable output based on the received context-aware content, wherein the user interface output device shifts from a low-power state to an active state only after presence of the object has been detected with the motion sensor being stationary, and wherein upon the shift from the low-power state to the active state, a request is sent to synchronize local data and obtain profile information.

Abstract
A wireless contextual prompting device provides contextual (context-aware) prompting in the home for applications such as Activities of Daily Living (ADL) monitoring, medication adherence, journaling, social messaging and coaching. The device combines the advantages of a small, wireless, battery-operated sensor that may be easily mounted at critical places in a person'"'"'s daily routine with a low-power, high-contrast display panel that may be palm sized. The context may be displayed on the display screen as images, icons and/or text such that it is easy to interpret warnings by the young, elderly, or the language-challenged.

13. A method comprising:
-
detecting presence of a user based on detecting motion of an object with a motion sensor; receiving dynamic context-aware content in response to the detected presence; activating a user interface output device only after the presence of the user has been detected with the motion sensor being stationary; and providing a user interpretable output through the user interface output device based on the received context-aware content and based on a location of the user interface output device in a home environment and based on a time of day. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

22. A system comprising:
-
an apparatus having a housing that at least partially houses; a motion sensor configured to detect motion of an object in a field of view of the apparatus; a wireless communication network interface configured to communicate dynamic context-aware content to the user interface output device, a user interface output device configured to provide a user interpretable output based on the dynamic context-aware content, wherein the user interface output device shifts from a low-power state to an active state only after presence of a user has been detected with the motion sensor being stationary; the system further comprising a second sensor configured to communicate wirelessly with the apparatus, wherein the context-aware content is based on an output from the second sensor. - View Dependent Claims (23)
