  • Patent number: 11189376
    Abstract: Medical services are offered by various facilities near a patient's residence. The number of facility options continues to grow and the patients can now receive various different health care services. One example method of operation provides receiving sensor data indicating that one or more sensors were triggered at a predefined location at a first time during a monitoring event, receiving additional sensor data indicating an additional sensor was triggered at a second time later than the first time, identifying a time gap between the first time and the second time, storing the time gap in a schedule stored in memory, and creating a sensor trigger pattern based on the time gap and applying the sensor trigger pattern to an alert status for a subsequent monitoring event.

  • Patent number: 10971264
    Abstract: Medical services are offered by various facilities near a patient's residence. The number of facility options continues to grow and the patients can now receive various different health care services. One example method of operation provides retrieving a schedule associated with sensor data being received from a number of sensors, receiving updated sensor data from the sensors at an updated sensor data receive time, comparing the updated sensor data to the schedule, identifying a time discrepancy between the schedule and the updated sensor data receive time, and creating an alert status based on the discrepancy.

  • Patent number: 10412222
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus of receiving and processing customer support calls. The calls may be initiated from a mobile/wireless device via a call function or via a mobile device application. An example method of operation may provide receiving a call from a mobile device and identifying the call as a customer service support inquiry. The method may further provide intercepting the call and redirecting the call to an interactive voice response proxy device responsive to identifying the call as a customer service support inquiry, accessing a database responsive to receiving the call and retrieving a data record that was created when the call was initiated.

  • Patent number: 10009469
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus of receiving and processing customer support calls. The calls may be initiated from a mobile/wireless device via a call function or via a mobile device application. An example method of operation may provide receiving a call from the mobile device at a call processing server configured to route the call to an appropriate destination. The call processing server may perform identifying a purpose associated with the call and transmitting the call to the message redirect call processing module responsive to identifying the purpose of the call as a request for customer service support. Also, the server may also perform creating a redirect message instructing the mobile device to initiate a customer service support application that operates via a data network, and transmitting the redirect message to the mobile device.
