Selectively disabling a restricted mode of a user equipment based on detection of an emergency health condition

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for determining an emergency health condition for a user that is defined based on a set of health-related parameters crossing a corresponding set of thresholds;
• means for receiving health data from a set of health monitoring sensors that are each configured to monitor one or more health-related parameters of the user;
• means for detecting, based on execution of a given application at the UE while a restricted mode restricting access to a set of communicative functions of the UE is active, that the emergency health condition for the user exists based on the received health data indicating that the set of health-related parameters have crossed the corresponding set of thresholds;
• means for verifying that the given application has permission to disable the restricted mode of the UE;
• means for disabling the restricted mode in response to the detection and the verification;
• and
• means for conveying, using one or more communicative functions from the set of communicative functions that are made available by the disabling of the restricted mode, an alarm related to the detected emergency health condition for the user.

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• at least one processor coupled to memory and configured to:
• determine an emergency health condition for a user that is defined based on a set of health-related parameters crossing a corresponding set of thresholds;
• receive health data from a set of health monitoring sensors that are each configured to monitor one or more health-related parameters of the user;
• detect, based on execution of a given application at the UE while a restricted mode restricting access to a set of communicative functions of the UE is active, that the emergency health condition for the user exists based on the received health data indicating that the set of health-related parameters have crossed the corresponding set of thresholds;
• verify that the given application has permission to disable the restricted mode of the UE;
• disable the restricted mode in response to the detection and the verification;
• and
• convey, using one or more communicative functions from the set of communicative functions that are made available by the disabling of the restricted mode, an alarm related to the detected emergency health condition for the user.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to perform operations, the instructions comprising:

• at least one instruction to cause the UE to determine an emergency health condition for a user that is defined based on a set of health-related parameters crossing a corresponding set of thresholds;
• at least one instruction to cause the UE to receive health data from a set of health monitoring sensors that are each configured to monitor one or more health-related parameters of the user;
• at least one instruction to cause the UE to detect, based on execution of a given application at the UE while a restricted mode restricting access to a set of communicative functions of the UE is active, that the emergency health condition for the user exists based on the received health data indicating that the set of health-related parameters have crossed the corresponding set of thresholds;
• at least one instruction to cause the UE to verify that the given application has permission to disable the restricted mode of the UE;
• at least one instruction to cause the UE to disable the restricted mode in response to the detection and the verification;
• and
• at least one instruction to cause the UE to convey, using one or more communicative functions from the set of communicative functions that are made available by the disabling of the restricted mode, an alarm related to the detected emergency health condition for the user.
