Abstract: An apparatus which configures a mobile healthcare network for monitoring a being includes a sender for sending the composition of the mobile healthcare network to a home healthcare network for monitoring the being and a receiver for receiving a configuration recommendation. The configuration recommendation corresponds to the composition of the mobile healthcare monitoring network and a medical history database of the home healthcare monitoring network An arranger arranges parameters of the mobile healthcare network according to the configuration recommendation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fall detection system, for detecting human fall incidents. The detection system comprises a sensor module to be worn by a user, for collecting motion data of his body, for instance acceleration data; first evaluation logic for identifying a potential fall incident on the basis of an impact observed in the acceleration data; and second evaluation logic for verifying that the sensor module is actually worn by the user, at least around the time of said impact, to prevent the system from raising an alarm if only the sensor module has fallen. The second evaluation logic may comprise free fall detection means for evaluating the acceleration data on characteristics which are typical for a free falling object, such as one or more full rotation and/or a free falling phase, during which the magnitude of the acceleration data is relatively stable and small.

Abstract: There is provided a fall detection system, comprising a passive vibration sensor; one or more other sensors for detecting respective characteristics of a fall; and a processor for analyzing measurements from the one or more other sensors to determine if a fall has occurred; wherein the system is configured to selectively provide power to the one or more other sensors and/or processor in response to the passive vibration sensor detecting motion of a user of the fall detection system.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for finding a backup node for a node in a sensor network. Firstly, determining a node which is in a state of waiting for being an agent node among a plurality of nodes adjacent to the node to be backed up for using the agent node to find the backup node. The states of waiting for being backed up is that the quantity of electricity of the node to be backed up drops below a preset value. According to the present invention, the node to be backed up does not need to communicate with a large number of nodes. It only needs to determine an agent node among the adjacent notes to do the substantial search for a backup node.

Abstract: The present invention provides a solution to protect network data stored on a network unit within a network related to a carrier data stored on a record carrier. A copy protection system already provided for protecting a carrier data is used therefore so that in a key locker stored in a key locker area (22) of the record carrier (2) a network dat identifier (URL) identifying the network data to be used for retrieval of said network data om the network (4) and a decryption key (DK) to be used by a read-out device (1) for d cryption of encrypted network data are stored. The network data identifier (URL) is used to et access to the network data, and the decryption key (DK) is thereafter used to decrypt enc pted network data if access to the network data is permitted.

Abstract: A rewritable storage medium comprising predefined content which is adapted for being integrated with additional user-defined content is described, the storage medium comprises: a first portion comprising said predefined content; a second portion for adding said user-defined content; wherein said predefined content in said first portion comprises links to said second portion. Thereby the user can customise the predefined content on the storage medium by adding personal content being an integrated part of the predefined content. Further the user can make dedicated annotations and comments on each category he visits, the connection is built up by the dummy links. According to the invention the user's own content is integrated with the published part of the disc giving an easily personalised guide book. In more general terms the user buys disc content with some prepredefined content, which can be enhanced by user's own content in a seamless way.
