Abstract
Systems and methods for capturing and monitoring the health, safety, and/or activity of a user are described. In one aspect, the system generates a data usage pattern for the user and monitors the user's current data usage activity to detect data usage deviations from the user's usage pattern. When a deviation is detected, the system may send an alert message to the user or another user indicating that an anomaly may have occurred, permitting the user or another user to respond to the anomaly.
Claims21
(canceled)
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a gateway device, data indicating data consumption associated with a user during a first time period, wherein the data indicates data consumption associated with the user across a plurality of devices in communication with the gateway device;
- determining that the data consumption associated with the user during the first time period is less than, by a threshold, a data consumption associated with the user during a second time period corresponding to the first time period, wherein the second time period occurs prior to the first time period;
- and
- in response to the determining, sending an alert message to a second device.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving data indicating data consumption associated with a user across a plurality of devices during a first time period;
- comparing, by a computing device, the data consumption associated with the user across the plurality of devices during the first time period with data consumption associated with the user during a second time period corresponding to the first time period, wherein the second time period occurs prior to the first time period;
- based on the comparing, determining that the data consumption associated with the user across the plurality of devices during the first time period is less than, by a threshold, the data consumption associated with the user during a second time period;
- and
- in response to the determining, sending an alert message to a second device.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a gateway device, data indicating a number of data accesses associated with a user during a first time period, wherein the data indicates data accesses associated with the user across a plurality of devices in communication with the gateway device;
- determining that the number of data accesses associated with the user during the first time period is less than, by a threshold, a number of data accesses associated with the user during a second time period corresponding to the first time period, wherein the second time period occurs prior to the first time period;
- and
- in response to the determining, sending an alert message to a second device.
