Methods for remote assistance of disabled persons having at least two remote individuals which receive different indications
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising software with instructions for a telephonically enabled mobile terminal to:
- store in memory of the mobile terminal a profile for a user, the profile comprising;
criteria for facilitating communications between the mobile terminal, a first remote individual, and a second remote individual;
determine whether a criterion of the criteria has been met;
initiate a first alert to the first remote individual without intervention by the user when one of the criteria has been met, wherein the first remote individual receives a first notification via a first alert type; and
initiate a second alert to the second remote individual without intervention by the user when the one of the criteria has been met, wherein the second remote individual receives a second notification via a second alert type.

Abstract
A mobile terminal is used to assist individuals with disabilities. A mobile terminal such as a “smartphone”, tablet or other commercially available wireless handheld device may be loaded with software. The software may be configured to: (i) store criteria for managing communications between a disabled user of the mobile terminal and a remote caregiver and a second remote individual, (ii) determine whether a criterion is satisfied, and if so (iii) initiate a communication from the mobile terminal to the remote caregiver, and (iv) initiate a second alert to the second remote individual via a second alert type. Thus, through this software, the mobile terminal may dynamically facilitate communications with specific remote caregivers based on specific situations that may confront disabled individuals.

14. A method comprising:
-
receiving first input from a user regarding a criterion; receiving second input from the user regarding a plurality of remote individuals, wherein the second input specifies means for contacting each remote individual of the plurality of remote individuals; receiving third input from one or more sensors associated with a mobile terminal; comparing the third input from the one or more sensors to the criterion; based at least in part on the comparing, determining that an event has occurred; causing a signal to be sent to a first remote individual without intervention by the user in response to the occurrence of the event, wherein the signal to be sent to the first remote individual is associated with a first format; and causing a signal to be sent to a second remote individual without intervention by the user in response to the occurrence of the event, wherein the signal to be sent to the second remote individual is associated with a second format. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method comprising:
-
storing a first criterion for facilitating communications between a user of a mobile terminal and a first remote individual, wherein the first criterion is associated with a first alert style; storing a second criterion for facilitating communications between the user of the mobile terminal and a second remote individual, wherein the second criterion is associated with a second alert style; determining whether the first criterion or the second criterion has been satisfied; and establishing a communication to either the first remote individual or the second remote individual based on the result of the determining step.
