Method and device for detecting and reporting activity
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring and reporting activity including providing an alert based on detected activity, the method comprising the acts of:
- monitoring activity relative to a device based on activity detected by the device;
determining a baseline activity level for the device associated with a time period based on activity level data collected over a plurality of time periods;
detecting an atypical activity level in a given time period as compared to the baseline activity level for the given time period;
transmitting an electronic message via a network connection in response to detecting the atypical activity level, the electronic message providing an alert.

Abstract
A device and methods are provided for monitoring and reporting activity including providing an alert based on detected activity. In one embodiment, a method includes is monitoring activity relative to a device based on activity detected by the device, determining a baseline activity level for the device, and detecting a change in the baseline activity level. The method may further include transmitting an electronic message via a network connection based on the change in baseline line activity, the electronic message providing an alert based on the change in baseline activity level. The device and methods may advantageously allow for providing alerts based on inactivity.

20. A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium including computer executable code for monitoring and reporting activity including providing an alert based on detected activity, the computer program product comprising:
-
computer readable code to monitor activity relative to a device based on activity detected by a sensor; computer readable code to determine a baseline activity level for the device associated with a time period based on activity level data collected over a plurality of time periods; computer readable code to detect an atypical activity level in a given time period as compared to the baseline activity level for the given time period; and computer readable code to control transmission of an electronic message via a network connection in response to detecting the atypical activity level, the electronic message providing an alert based on the change in baseline activity level.
