IDENTIFYING AND MEASURING BODILY STATES AND FEEDBACK SYSTEMS BACKGROUND

Embodiments are directed to identifying and measuring bodily states and feedback systems. A computer system initializes a tracking and measuring device to generate patient data related to a bodily state or feedback system of a patient. The computer system gathers the patient data using the initialized tracking and measuring device, and identifies a baseline parameter used to determine a baseline state relative to the gathered patient data. The computer system further gathers additional patient data using the initialized tracking and measuring device and compares the additional gathered patient data to the identified baseline parameter. Then, if the additional gathered patient data differs from the baseline state by a specified threshold amount, the computer system determines that a change in the patient's bodily state or feedback system has occurred and/or determines the amount of change in the bodily state or feedback systems that has occurred.

Identifying and measuring bodily states and feedback systems background

Embodiments are directed to identifying and measuring bodily states and feedback systems. A computer system initializes a tracking and measuring device to generate patient data related to a bodily state or feedback system of a patient.

System and method for fall detection

Embodiments of the invention relate to spectrally and spatially dissecting accelerometer data from a signal of a motion sensor. Data received from the dissected signal is reduced to statistical averages for selected frequency bands and spatial dimensions. A time segment subject over which the signal was acquired is segmented so that the dissected signal may be evaluated per the segmentation of the time. Change of orientation towards gravity of the sensor is analyzed with respect to a change of orientation from a before impact segment to an after impact segment. The analyzed change in orientation value with respect to a threshold is a factor in determination of a fall of a body to which the sensor is attached.

2 way rf remote controller including an air sensor

The present invention relates to a bidirectional RF remote control with an indoor air sensor capable of inducing a user to ventilate a room. The bidirectional RF remote control with an indoor air sensor comprises: a remote controller performing RF communication with a TV or a set-top box (STB) through an RF communication module; a polluted air sensing unit sensing polluted air in a space, in which the remote controller is placed while being integrated with the remote controller; and an air pollution determining unit transferring a message of air pollution to the TV or STB through the RF communication module when an air pollution level sensed by the polluted air sensing unit is greater than a predetermined air pollution reference value as a result of the comparison of the air pollution level sensed by the polluted air sensing unit with the predetermined air pollution reference value while being coupled to the remote controller. When a warning message of air pollution is input from an air pollution determining unit, the TV or set-top box displays air pollution on a screen by displaying a pop-up window including a warning message of the air pollution. The remote controller transfers an air pollution level sensed by the air pollution sensing unit to the TV or set-top box through the RF communication module when an air pollution level reading button of the remote controller is pressed and allows the air pollution level sensed by the air pollution sensing unit to be displayed on the TV screen.
