Abstract
A hand-held device, such as a remote control, is provided for operation of a consumer appliance and is equipped with one or more biometric sensors to capture and report on the health condition of a user of the hand-held device. The data captured by such a hand-held device may be evaluated locally in the hand-held device itself or may be conveyed to a target consumer appliance either for local evaluation by that consumer appliance or for onward transmission to a central off-site monitoring service.
Claims19
A system for providing a health monitoring service, comprising:
- a health monitoring device comprising:
- a first processing device;
- a first memory device storing instructions executable by the first processing device;
- and at least one biometric sensor coupled to the first processing device;
- and
- a health monitoring service device, communicatively coupled with the health monitoring device, comprising:
- a second processing device;
- and a second memory device storing instructions executable by the second processing device;
- wherein the first instructions, when executed by the first processing device, cause the health monitoring device to:
- cause the at least one biometric sensor to capture a first biometric data;
- cause the captured, first biometric data to be provided to the health monitoring service device;
- receive a communication from the health monitory service device that is responsive to the provided, captured, first biometric data;
- and cause the at least one biometric sensor to again capture the first biometric data for provision to the health monitoring service device as a function of the communication received from the health monitoring service device;
- and
- wherein the second instructions, when executed by the second processing device, cause the health monitoring service device to:
- receive the first biometric data from the health monitoring device;
- compare the received, first biometric data to a pre-established range for the first biometric data;
- formulate the communication as a function of the caparison of the received, first biometric data to the pre-established range for the first biometric data;
- and cause the communication to be transmitted to the health monitoring device.
