Claims17
An alerting device for sending an alert message, the alerting device configured to perform a method comprising:
- determining at least one cognitive need of one or more message recipients in an area;
- selecting an alert message that meets the at least one cognitive need of one or more message recipients in the area;
- sending the alert message to one or more message recipients in the area;
- and
- monitoring the responsiveness of one or more message recipients in the area to the alerting message;
- wherein:
- the alert message is not caused by the one or more message recipients in the area;
- determining at least one cognitive need of the one or more of message recipients is based on a cognitive assessment of the one or more message recipients;
- wherein conducting a cognitive assessment of the one or more message recipients includes at least one of:
- video analysis, sound monitoring, and/or motion detection;
- and
- wherein conducting a cognitive assessment further comprises:
- learning a message recipient's typical bed times, typical sleep cycles, language preferences, and medications;
- determining a message recipients potential distractions, using headphones, watching TV, and being engaged in a phone conversation.
A system for executing sending an alert message, the system comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor coupled to the memory;
- and
- a control program communicatively coupled to the memory and the processor device, the control program comprising the steps of a method comprising:
- determining at least one cognitive need of one or more message recipients in an area;
- selecting an alert message that meets the at least one cognitive need of the one or more message recipients in the area;
- sending the alert message to one or more message recipients in the area;
- and
- tracking the responsiveness of one or more message recipients in the area;
- wherein
- the alert message is not caused by the one or more message recipients in the area;
- determining at least one cognitive need of the one or more of message recipients is based on a cognitive assessment of the one or more message recipients;
- and
- wherein conducting a cognitive assessment of the one or more message recipients includes at least one of:
- video analysis, sound monitoring, and/or motion detection;
- and
- wherein conducting a cognitive assessment further comprises:
- learning a message recipient's typical bed times, typical sleep cycles, language preferences, and medications;
- determining a message recipients potential distractions, using headphones, watching TV, and being engaged in a phone conversation.
A computer program product for sending an alert message, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
- determining at least one cognitive need of one or more message recipients in an area;
- selecting an alert message that meets at least one cognitive need of the one or more message recipients in the area;
- sending the alert message to one or more message recipients in the area;
- and
- tracking the responsiveness of one or more message recipients in the area;
- wherein
- the alert message is not caused by the one or more message recipients in the area;
- determining at least one cognitive need of the one or more of message recipients is based on a cognitive assessment of the one or more message recipients;
- and
- wherein conducting a cognitive assessment of the one or more message recipients includes at least one of:
- video analysis, sound monitoring, and/or motion detection;
- and
- wherein conducting a cognitive assessment further comprises:
- learning a message recipient's typical bed times, typical sleep cycles, language preferences, and medications;
- determining a message recipients potential distractions, using headphones, watching TV, and being engaged in a phone conversation.
