A system and method are provided for transmitting messages related to operations of electronic devices. A management apparatus is notified of an event that occurred in a specific one of a plurality of electronic devices. The management apparatus determines one or more target devices in response to notification of the event that occurred in the specific electronic device. An event message corresponding to the event that occurred in the specific electronic device is created. The management apparatus transmits the event message to the one or more target devices. The one or more target devices output the received event message.

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to selectively configure alarms prior to commencement of a silent mode of operation. In the context of a method, an indication of at least a start time for a silent mode of operation of a device is received. Responsive to the indication of at least the start time for the silent mode of operation, one or more alarms are identified. Each alarm has an activation mode and an activation time during the silent mode of operation of the device. Responsive to identifying one or more alarms and prior to commencing the silent mode of operation, the method also causes a prompt to be presented regarding a potential change to at least one of the activation mode or the activation time for at least one alarm that was identified.

A stationary communication unit is adapted to be mounted to a headwall of a healthcare facility and enable wireless communication between a patient support apparatus and a nurse call system. The unit also performs one or more additional functions, such as, but not limited to: determining when a healthcare worker enters/exits the room; determining when the patient support apparatus exits/enters the room; storing/retrieving medical device data associated with a patient; directing medical device data to one or more displays in the room; auto-updating, auto-retrieving, and/or auto-displaying data upon healthcare worker entry into the room; auto-muting room sounds during nurse-patient communication; and auto-directing a healthcare workers electronic device to data associated with the patient in that room. In alternative embodiments, one or more of these additional functions are incorporated into a patient support apparatus.

Systems and methods for monitoring passenger activity in an aircraft cabin environment to predict immediate future passenger needs. The systems and methods make use of sensors positioned within an aircraft cabin environment configured to sense condition changes of objects corresponding to predetermined service issues, device(s) usable by the service crew indicating the sensed condition changes, and processing circuitry configured to receive sensor signals and indicate the condition changes through the device(s) such that the service crew is made aware of the condition changes requiring actions to be completed by the service crew to attend to the immediate future passenger needs.

Various embodiments of a health-monitoring system are disclosed. In one aspect, this health-monitoring system includes a server and a set of health-monitoring sensors communicatively coupled to the server. In some embodiments, the server is configured to establish a new profile for a person to be monitored by: receiving a new profile request for establishing the new profile; generating a unique person-ID for the received new profile request; creating a new entry including the unique person-ID for the person in a profile database; and transmitting the unique person-ID along with the profile photos of the person to the set of health-monitoring sensors. Moreover, each health-monitoring sensor in the set of sensors is configured to establish the new profile by adding a new entry for the person in a person-ID dictionary of the health-monitoring sensor based on the received person-ID and the profile photos of the person.

A vehicle includes a plurality of cameras configured to capture a surrounding situation of the vehicle, an external speaker configured to output a sound to the outside of the vehicle, a communicator configured to communicate with a first server, and a controller configured to determine a degree of risk of the dangerous situation based on the degree of risk based on a case where a dangerous situation is captured through the plurality of cameras, to control an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) module to detect obstacles around the vehicle, to control at least one of a digital key and an external speaker to output a message for the dangerous situation or an image in which the dangerous situation is captured, and to transmit the image in which the dangerous situation is captured to the first server through the communicator.

A monitoring support apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure is for supporting work of a monitoring person who monitors subjects by sequentially visiting the subjects and includes a measuring device that measures the subjects and the monitoring person by radiating a detecting wave toward the subjects and the monitoring person, a position specifying circuit that specifies positions of the subjects and a position of the monitoring person on the basis of information obtained by the measuring device, and a decision circuit that decides at least one selected from a group consisting of a next subject suitable as a subject to be visited next by the monitoring person among the subjects and a movement path along which the monitoring person moves from the position of the monitoring person to the next subject on the basis of the positions of the subjects and the position of the monitoring person.

A graphical audio station of a nurse call system is operable to permit a user to perform one or more of the following functions: establish a two-way voice communication link with another computer device in another patient and/or with a another computer device located in another staff work area and/or with a wireless communication device carried by caregiver and/or with a telephone of the healthcare facility; broadcast a voice page to a group of other selected computer devices; compose and send a text message to a portable device that is carried by a caregiver and that has wireless communication capability; browse web pages and/or view multimedia content, such as videos, hosted on servers of the healthcare facility and/or that are accessible via the Internet; view and/or acknowledge and/or answer and/or cancel alerts or nurse calls originating in a plurality of patient rooms.
