Programmable monitoring system
The programmable monitoring system comprises one or more motion sensors, one or more temperature sensors, one or more door sensors and one or more pill box sensors. Each sensor is tagged with a unique code readable by a smart phone camera and software program which allows alarms on the smart phone to be set. The alarms are individually set for any or all of the sensors based on habits of the person being monitored.
1. A programmable monitoring system, comprising:
a first monitoring device for monitoring motion, the device comprising a peel off layer with adhesive underneath allowing attachment to a surface in a user home, and marked with a first unique tag readable by a smart phone camera and related software program;
a second monitoring device for monitoring motion, the device comprising a peel off layer with adhesive underneath allowing attachment to a surface in a user home, and marked with a second unique tag readable by a smart phone camera and related software program;
a third monitoring device for detecting temperature, the device comprising a peel off layer with adhesive underneath allowing attachment to a surface in a user home, and marked with a third unique tag readable by a smart phone camera and related software program;
a fourth monitoring device for detecting a door opening, the device comprising a peel off layer with adhesive underneath allowing attachment to a surface in a user home, and marked with a fourth unique tag readable by a smart phone camera and related software program;
a program for receiving information from the first, second, third and fourth monitoring devices, wherein the program allows for alarms to be sent for each of the first, second, third and fourth monitoring devices;
wherein the program allows the alarms to be individually set based on habits of an individual being monitored which habits are calculated by the system after monitoring the individual over a period of days and allows for a notification or alarm to be sent when a pattern of the habit is determined to deviate by a set amount from a norm;
wherein the first, second, third and fourth unique tags are each a matrix bar code which is scanable by a camera lens and program of a smartphone allowing a smartphone user to tap an icon on the smartphone to associate the scanned tag with a room where the monitor will be placed;
wherein the habits are selected from the groups consisting of time of waking up, time of going to sleep, time of leaving the house, time of returning to house, time of eating, time of taking medication and stove temperature;
wherein the program creates a screen comprised of a time line associated with each monitoring device;
wherein the system comprises a program which generates icon on a screen which icon are representative of rooms in a home where monitors are placed;
wherein the program generates objects generally present in a house and allows the objects to be dragged and dropped into any room generated on the screen;
wherein the system comprises a program which expands a room icon on the screen when a monitor detects movement in that room thereby indicating the presence of a person being monitored in that room; and
wherein the system comprises a program which generate footstep icons on the screen representing movement detected between rooms which footsteps schematically represent movement of an individual between rooms.
2. A motion pattern based notification method, comprising:
asking an individual a series of questions relating to the behavior of that individual;
reviewing the answers to the questions;
determining placement of motion sensors to install based on a review of the answers;
installing motion sensors in a home of the individual being monitored by peeling off a layer to expose an adhesive and adhering to a surface in the home, and the motion sensors installed based on determinations made based on a review of the answers to the questions;
obtaining data from the motion sensors relating to the behavior of the individual over a period of time;
analyzing the data obtained from the motion sensors in order to determine deviations from a pattern of the individual; and
sending a notification or alarm when the pattern is determined to deviate by a set amount from a determined norm;
maintaining electronic storage of data obtained from the motion sensors;
allowing the stored data to play back to show activity over any given period of time;
obtaining data from a monitored pill box indicating opening and closing of the pill box; and
sending an alarm when the pill box is not opened over a predetermined period of time.
