System to automatically locally control a device according to preferences of a user entering a local area of the device from a remote area

A system, comprising:

• a sensor generating measurements based upon a patient parameter measured by the sensor;
• a transmitter transmitting control signals and entering a local area of the sensor from a remote area;
• a processor managing local output of the measurements according to the control signals automatically detected upon the entering of the transmitter to the local area of the sensor;
• and
• a storage unit storing preferences of the user and the control signals include identification information of the user, the processor managing the local output of the measurements according to the preferences of the user based upon identifying the user from the control signals.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a communication interface transmitting/receiving information via a network to/from a patient monitor, the information including measurements from monitoring a patient parameter measured by the patent monitor;
• a processor managing local output of the measurements received by the communication interface according to automatically detected control signals locally and wirelessly transmitted from a transmitter entering a local area of the sensor from a remote area;
• and
• a storage unit storing preferences of the user and the control signals include identification information of the user, the processor managing the local output of the measurement information according to the preferences of the user based upon identifying the user from the control signals.
