Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for in-home health intercom and notification. In one example, a first device receives a message comprising a description of an event of a first person in an environment from a first user device using a first transmission protocol. The first device transmits the event message to the second computing device in the environment using a second transmission protocol, where the first device and the second device are in operable communication using a local area network. The first device receives, using the second transmission protocol, a response from the second device that the second computing device has transmitted the event message to a second user device.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a first computing device, an event message comprising a description of an event of a first person in an environment from a first user device and via a first transmission protocol;
- transmitting the event message to a second computing device in the environment via a second transmission protocol, the first computing device and the second computing device in operable communication via a local area network;
- and
- receiving, via the second transmission protocol, a response from the second computing device indicating that the second computing device has determined a probability of a second person in the environment and has transmitted the event message to a second user device associated with the second person.
A first computing device, comprising:
- a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to perform a method comprising:
- receiving an event message comprising a description of an event of a first person in an environment from a first user device and via a first transmission protocol;
- transmitting the event message to a second computing device in the environment via a second transmission protocol, the first computing device and the second computing device in operable communication via a local area network;
- and
- receiving, via the second transmission protocol, a response from the second computing device indicating that the second computing device has determined a probability of a second person in the environment and has transmitted the event message to a second user device associated with the second person.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by a first computing device, an event message comprising a description of an event of a first person in an environment from a first user device and via a first transmission protocol;
- transmitting the event message to a second computing device in the environment via a second transmission protocol, the first computing device and the second computing device in operable communication via a local area network;
- and
- receiving, via the second transmission protocol, a response from the second computing device indicating that the second computing device has determined a probability of a second person in the environment and has transmitted the event message to a second user device associated with the second person.
