System for remotely monitoring a user
First Claim
1. A system for remotely monitoring a user, comprising:
- a user monitor module, the user monitor module providing a first indication of user status, the first indication having a threshold value;
a receiver module operably coupled to the user monitor module, the receiver module receiving the first indication, determining if the threshold value is reached and generating a secondary indication when the threshold value is reached; and
a supervisory module operably coupled to at least the receiver module, wherein the supervisory module receives the secondary indication and informs a supervisor that the threshold value has been reached.

Abstract
A subscription system and corresponding method of operation for monitoring user'"'"'s well being is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing, at a user monitor module, a first indicator for the user well being; providing, at a receiving module operably coupled to the user monitor module, a first threshold for the first indicator; receiving, at the receiving module, the first indication; comparing the first indication and the first threshold; generating a secondary indication when the comparison indicates that the first indication equals or exceeds the first threshold; receiving, at a supervisory module coupled to the receiver module, the secondary indication; and informing a supervisor that the first threshold has been reached.

27. A method for monitoring a user'"'"'s status, comprising:
-
providing a plurality of indicators for the user'"'"'s status; receiving, by a receiver module operably coupled to a user monitor module, a plurality of thresholds for the user'"'"'s status, wherein each of the plurality of thresholds corresponds to one of the plurality of indicators; receiving, by the receiver module, a first indication related to one of the plurality of indicators; comparing, by the receiver module, the first indication to a threshold corresponding to a related indicator; generating, by the receiver module, a second indication when the comparison indicates that the first indication has reached the threshold, wherein the second indication informs a supervisor that the threshold has been reached. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
