Abstract

A system is provided for using telemetry data based on user habit information or user monitoring. A monitoring device has one or more sensors that detect or measure user information selected from of at least one of, a user's activities, behaviors and habit information, and a user's health. The monitoring device includes ID circuitry with an ID storage that contains a unique user ID, a communication system which reads and transmits the unique user ID from the ID storage, a power source and a pathway system. A telemetry system with a database receives the user information from the telemetry device. One or more analysis tools are at the telemetry system that analyze the user information and produce analysis information that is sent to the monitoring device.

Claims (20)

1. A system for using telemetry data based on an individual, comprising:

a monitoring device with a microphone, an RF transmitter and sensors to determine air quality, sound level, sound quality, light quality and ambient temperature near the individual;

an accelerometer configured to detect a user's movement information, the accelerometer and the monitoring device configured to provide the user's movement information configured to assist to determine individual sleep information and sleep behavior information, the monitoring device including ID circuitry with an ID storage that contains a unique individual ID, the accelerometer configured to cause the microphone to stop recording individual's movement sounds when the individual's movement sounds are not directed to a sleep related parameter;

a telemetry system with a database of user ID's and in communication with the monitoring device and the accelerometer;

an sleep activity manager at the telemetry system; and

a feedback control system or subsystem that analyzes the user's movement information received from the accelerometer and the monitoring device to assist in determining the individual sleep information and the sleep behavior information, wherein the feedback control system or the subsystem in operation recognizes an intended alert pattern based on a morphology of a measured sensor signal, and wherein the feedback control system or the subsystem in operation analyzes a frequency power band of the measured sensor signal for correspondence to frequency and amplitude.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feedback control system or the subsystem is at the telemetry system.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feedback control system or the subsystem is at the monitoring device.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feedback control system or the subsystem is standalone.

5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising: wherein the monitoring device in operation communicates a feedback signal or an alert to the individual.

6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a closed-loop system that provides control data to the monitoring device.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one of a audio device or display at the monitoring device to communicate a feedback signal to the individual.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the telemetry system in operation compares the measured sensor signal from a sensor to a threshold level.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feedback control system or the subsystem in operation detects the amplitude or the frequency of the measured sensor signal.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the feedback control system or the subsystem in operation evaluates a measured sensor signal waveform for correspondence to the frequency or the amplitude of the measured sensor signal.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feedback control system or the subsystem in operation evaluates a measured sensor signal waveform for correspondence to the frequency or the amplitude of the measured sensor signal.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the feedback control system or the subsystem in operation terminates a feedback signal or alert if a predetermined maximum alert duration has expired.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein when a maximum feedback signal or alert duration is not reached, the maximum feedback signal or the alert duration is held at current signal settings.
