Abstract: A solution for providing premises monitoring whereby monitoring devices (cameras, e.g.) are connected to a network and, upon detecting motion within their field of view, send a notification to a smartphone app. The smartphone app provides indications of a location of a particular monitoring device triggering the event notification, a time/date of the event, and a type of event. A user of the smartphone app may receive a real-time video stream from the monitoring device, and may interact with a person who triggered the event using the smartphone's speaker and microphone in conjunction with a speaker and/or a microphone integrated with the monitoring device. A button of the smartphone app enables an event to be escalated to a monitoring center, and if an event is not reviewed by a user within a certain time threshold the event may be configured to be automatically escalated to the monitoring center.

Abstract: A subscriber device for use in an automated personal emergency response system implemented as a conference bridge on a remote computing network. The device, intended to be worn as a pendant, wristband or in another wearable configuration, includes a color high-resolution display for signaling a user of the subscriber device with notifications, arrows for directional guidance, and/or other status messages. The device also includes microphones and speakers for enabling a teleconference between a user of the subscriber device in need of assistance and parties joined to the teleconference via the automated personal emergency response system. The user of the subscriber device may initiate the call for assistance and teleconference via a press of a single button on the device; alternatively, accelerometers in the device may detect a fall and automatically initiate the call. The device can receive medical telemetry and provide it to conference participants and perform home automation tasks.

Abstract: A personal emergency response system implemented as a conference bridge on a remote computing network. Upon receiving an alert from an individual in need of aid, a conference including audio and/or video connection is established. A predetermined list of parties is coupled to the conference, including friends, caregivers, medical professionals, emergency responders and others as stored in a configuration database specific to the individual via a web interface. The database record may also contain vital information about the individual, in additional to demographic data, location information, history and other factual information. Medical telemetry may be obtained in real-time and disseminated among the conference participants. Other parties may be dynamically joined to the conference as needed upon a conference participant utilizing DTMF codes or other means to request the others to join.
