Abstract
Presented are concepts for monitoring activities of daily living, ADLs, of a person within an environment. Once such concept provides a graphical interface for an ADL monitoring system, wherein the graphical interface is adapted to display a graphical element representative of an ADL detected by the ADL monitoring system, and wherein the shape, size, position, orientation, pulsating and/or colour of at least a portion of the graphical element is based on one or more attributes of the detected ADL.
Claims28
A method of generating instructions for displaying a GUI on a display device using a processor device, which GUI is for monitoring of an ADL of a person within an environment and comprises a plurality of graphical elements for representing the ADL at a respective plurality of different points in time, the graphical elements each being defined by at least a first graphical feature and a second graphical feature different from the first graphical feature, the method comprising:
- the data processor device performing the steps of:
- obtaining an attribute of the ADL for each of the plurality of different points in time;
- defining the first graphical feature;
- defining the second graphical feature, wherein the second graphical feature comprises a dimension of the graphical element;
- for each graphical element:
- setting the first graphical feature based on the attribute of the ADL corresponding to a different one of the different points in time;
- setting the second graphical feature based on the point in time corresponding to an attribute of the ADL upon which the setting of the first graphical feature of that particular element was based;
- generating the instructions for displaying the GUI,
- characterized wherein for the graphical element which represents the attribute of the ADL corresponding to the point in time that is nearest to current time the dimension of the second graphical feature of that graphical element is set to be larger than any dimension set of the respective graphical features for the other graphical elements of the plurality of elements.
The system for generating instructions for displaying a GUI on a display device using a processor device, which GUI is for monitoring of an ADL of a person within an environment and comprises a plurality of graphical elements for representing the ADL at a respective plurality of different points in time, the graphical elements each being defined by at least a first graphical feature and a second graphical feature different from the first graphical feature, the system comprising the data processor device, wherein:
- the data processor device is configured to:
- obtain an attribute of the ADL for each of the plurality of different points in time;
- define the first graphical feature;
- define the second graphical feature, wherein the second graphical feature comprises a dimension of the graphical element;
- for each graphical element:
- set the first graphical feature based on the attribute of the ADL corresponding to a different on of the different points in time;
- set the second graphical feature based on the point in time corresponding to an attribute of the ADL upon which the setting of the first graphical feature of that particular element was based;
- generate the instructions for displaying the GUI,
- wherein for the graphical element which represents the attribute of the ADL corresponding to the point in time that is nearest to the current time, the dimension of the second graphical feature of that graphical element is set to be larger than any dimension set of the respective graphical features for the other graphical elements of the plurality of elements.
