System and method of measurement data and back-up channel services
First Claim
1. A tangible computer-readable storage device comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor operating in a set top box, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving measurement data stored in a first wireless device serving as a portable monitoring gateway that collects subscriber collected data;
analyzing the measurement data at the set top box using the received measurement data received from the first wireless device and optionally from a remote server or a local storage space having stored measurement data to provide analyzed results;
presenting the analyzed results at the set top box;
uploading the measurement data to a measurement record server; and
transferring a selected set of the measurement data to a public data domain of an online record server,wherein the portable monitoring gateway provides interim storage for the subscriber collected data and the set top box has a built-in machine-to-machine connection for connecting to the first wireless device,wherein the selected set of the measurement data is accessible by a live health care provider external to premises of a subscriber, andwherein the set top box presents the analyzed results using a built in display or built-in speaker.

9. A set top box comprising:
-
a memory to store instructions; and a controller coupled to the memory, wherein responsive to executing the instructions, the controller performs operations comprising; receiving measurement data stored in a first wireless device serving as a portable monitoring gateway that collects subscriber collected data; and storing and analyzing the measurement data at the set top box using the received measurement data received from the first wireless device and optionally from a remote server or a local storage space having stored measurement data to provide analyzed results; uploading the measurement data to a measurement record server; and moving a selected set of the measurement data to a public data domain of an online record server, wherein the portable monitoring gateway provides interim storage for the subscriber collected data and the set top box has a built-in machine-to-machine connection for connecting to the first wireless device, wherein the selected set of the measurement data is accessible by a live health care provider external to premises of a subscriber, and wherein the operations further comprise enabling a back-up management channel for troubleshooting and a back-up video channel for back-up video service functions using the machine-to-machine connection or a wireless cellular connection. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A network device comprising:
-
a memory to store instructions; and a controller coupled to the memory, wherein responsive to executing the instructions, the controller performs operations comprising; receiving measurement data from a set top box previously stored in a first wireless device serving as a portable monitoring gateway that collects subscriber collected data; analyzing the measurement data and any previously aggregated data at the network device to create analyzed results; sending the analyzed results to the set top box in response to a code entry at the set top box; storing the measurement data at a measurement record server; and moving a selected set of the measurement data to a public data domain of an online record server, wherein the portable monitoring gateway provides interim storage for the subscriber collected data and the set top box has a built-in machine-to-machine connection for connecting to the first wireless device, wherein the selected set of the measurement data is accessible by a live health care provider external to premises of a subscriber, and wherein the network device enables access by the live health care provider to measurement data in a private data domain of the measurement record server. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
