Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a controller. The controller is configured to: receive a message, such as a communication request; determine a type for said message; select a first recipient layer based on said type, said first recipient layer comprising at least one recipient; transmit said message to at least one of said at least one recipient of said first recipient layer; receive a confirmation from said at least one of said at least one recipient of said first recipient layer; and in response thereto transmit said confirmation from said at least one of said at least one recipient of said first recipient layer to at least another one of said at least one recipient of said first recipient layer.

Abstract: A communication system provides remote care taking of a first user to be cared for by a plurality of second users. The system has a first mobile communication terminal configured for use by the first user to be cared for, and a plurality of second mobile communication terminals for use by the second users. Each second mobile communication terminal is configured to let the respective second user act as a member of a first recipient layer or a member of a second recipient layer. The first mobile communication terminal is configured to allow the first user to select a first element in a user interface of the first mobile communication terminal to cause sending of a first type of remote care taking request message intended for second users being members of the first recipient layer, the first type of request message pertaining to remote care taking of the first user.

Abstract: A telecare-enabled mobile terminal has a controller, a first subscriber identity and a second subscriber identity. At least one mobile network interface provides telecommunication connectivity for the mobile terminal as identified by the first subscriber identity and the second subscriber identity, respectively. The controller is configured to use the first subscriber identity for outbound telecommunication traffic relating to a telecare service provided by a remote telecare provider. The controller is configured to use the second subscriber identity for outbound telecommunication traffic not relating to the telecare service.

Abstract: A sensor system (200) comprises a plurality of sensors (110) and a system server (120), all of said plurality of sensors (110) being of a same accelerometer-based sensor type. Each of said plurality of sensors is adapted for attachment to a respective movable structure (112) in a building. Each of said plurality of sensors (110) is individually configured to detect a respective basic movement (114) of said movable structure (112), wherein said basic movement is indicative of a human behavioral action (116) in said building. Each of said plurality of sensors (110) is arranged to detect its basic movement and communicate with said system server in response to detecting the basic movement. The system server (120) is configured to receive a detection signal (118) from any of said plurality of sensors (110), determine an activity pattern (124) based on said detection signal, determine an appropriate function (126) based on said activity pattern and, execute said function.
