Abstract

A method uses telemetry data based on user habit information or user monitoring. User information is acquired from one or more sensors of a monitoring device. The user information is selected from of at least one of, a user's activities, behaviors and habit information. Signals are routed through ID circuitry at the user monitoring device. User information is communicated between the monitoring device and a telemetry system. A database of user ID's is accessed at the telemetry system. The telemetry system analyzes telemetry data based on at least one of, user's activities, behaviors and habit information, user condition, and user parameter, to create personalized information about the user. One or more contexts of a user activity are associated with an activity manager. The activity manager is a standalone device, included with the telemetry system or included with the monitoring device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for using telemetry data, comprising:
acquiring individual information using a non-contact monitoring device that includes a microphone, a transmitter and sensors to determine air quality, sound level/quality, light quality and ambient temperature near the individual, the-transmitter serving as a communication system;
using an accelerometer or other motion detector, that are included in the monitoring device, to detect an individual's movement information, the monitoring device producing movement information relative to the individual that is indicative of the individual's respiration;
routing signals through ID circuitry at the monitoring device, accelerometer or other motion detector;
communicating the individual's information directed to the individual's potential state of death based on information about the individual received from the accelerometer or other detection device;
analyzing the individual's respiratory and movement information at a cloud based system that includes one or more processors, the cloud based system including a motion pattern classification system relative to an individual's profile manager, the one or more processors configured to process the one or more motion samples, the one or more processors configured to process at least a portion of the information to determine the individual's movement information that is indicative of the individual's respiration; and
associating one or more contexts of an individual's movement information and respiratory information with the individual's profile manager that includes a database of information relative to the individual's movement and respiratory information.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
using a user interface at the monitoring device to enter a name of an activity.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the user interface includes an entry field to enter the name of an activity.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
using the user profile manager to manage and monitor the user.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing a user with a reminder when to start an activity.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing the user a reminder when to stop an activity.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing to the user a calendar of when one or more activities should be performed.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing a user with an ability to select an activity to be tracked.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
monitoring environmental conditions.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
sending an alert to a user as to the desirability of engaging in an activity in response to monitoring environmental conditions.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the environmental conditions is weather.

12. The method of claim I, further comprising:
communicating between the telemetry system with a mobile device.

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
communicating with a weather service.

14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing a prompt to a user as a reminder of an activity.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the system includes a user sleep profile database.

16. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
using a GPS at the monitoring device.

17. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
using an alarm at the monitoring device.

18. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
using a microphone at the monitoring device.

19. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
using verbal instruction to the monitoring device by a user, and receiving oral communication from the monitoring device to the user.
