Abstract
A method for monitoring a user in a user living area in a system including a system controller having control parameters for controlling the operations of said system and a remote monitoring site, comprising; monitoring a user activity of said user; activating a control circuit in response to an occurrence of said user activity to provide user activity information to said system controller representative of said user activity; performing a statistical operation upon said user activity information to provide a statistical determination; and adjusting at least one of said control parameters in accordance with said statistical determination.

A method for monitoring a user in a user living area in a system including a system controller having control parameters for controlling the operations of said system and a remote monitoring site, comprising;
- (a) monitoring occurrences of a user activity to provide monitored activity occurrences;
- (b) activating a control circuit in response to said monitored activity occurrences to provide monitored user activity occurrence information to said system controller representative of said user activity;
- (c) performing at least one statistical operation upon said monitored user activity occurrence information, said statistical operation including a central tendency determination, a dispersion determination or a moving average determination, to provide a statistical determination including an expected value of said monitored user activity occurrence information;
- (d) activating said control circuit in response to a further monitored occurrence of said user activity to provide a further value of said monitored user activity information;
- (e) comparing said expected value of said monitored user activity occurrence information and said further value of said monitored user activity occurrence information;
- and
- (f) adjusting at least one of said control parameters in accordance with said comparing, whereby said at least one of said control parameters is adjusted in accordance with said statistical determination.
A method for monitoring a user in a user living area in a system including a system controller having control parameters for controlling the operations of said system and a remote monitoring site, comprising;
- (a) monitoring occurrences of a user activity of said user to provide monitored activity occurrences;
- (b) activating a control circuit in response to said monitored activity occurrences to provide monitored user activity occurrence information to said system controller representative of said user activity;
- (c) performing at least one statistical operation upon said monitored user activity occurrence information, said statistical operation including a central tendency determination, a dispersion determination or a moving average determination, to provide a statistical determination including an expected value of said monitored user activity occurrence information;
- and
- (d) determining cognitive function information of said user in accordance with said statistical determination.
