For example this may be achieved by receiving the output signal of the motion sensor and/or by detecting infra red or other control signals emanating from the control device 34 (e.g. via an infrared receiver provided on the primary messaging device).
  • infrared control manufacturers may have a standardised and unique set of infra-red control commands. These typically include codes referred to as “discrete codes” which carry out a single distinct action. Whereas most remote-controls offer a power button which "toggles" the power i.e. turns a TV off if it's on, and on if it's off, the discrete codes allow for commands that will only turn-on, or will only turn-off the TV. In other words, it is not necessary to know whether the TV is on or off in advance of attempting to activate the TV to display the information. Since the "power on” and input selection commands have no negative effects, they may be sent as often as desired e.g.
  • the primary messaging device 12 may initially attempt to deliver the relevant message using one or more of its integral output devices as appropriate.

  • the device 12 If the device 12 receives a response from the user, then no further action may be required (until the next message is due or until the same message is due to be repeated). If the device 12 does not receive the user response, then the device 12 causes the auxiliary device 14 to deliver the message to the user (202). This may be the same message in respect of which no response was received, or other relevant message. In the preferred embodiment where the auxiliary device 14 is a TV, this may involve turning on the TV (if it is not already on) and selecting the relevant input source so that the message sent by the primary messaging device 12 is delivered by the TV. This may involve delivering a verbal message (text and/or speech) and/or any other relevant visual and/or audio output.
  • the device 12 may send an alert message to a message receiving device (typically a telephone, computer or smartphone - not shown) of one or more third party
  • stage 204 is only enacted if the message is designated as critical.
  • an explicit rejection of a reminder e.g. by pressing the "no" button on the remote control, might also raise an alert to a care-giver.
  • the alert might also be sent to a phone or other device of the originally intended reminder recipient so that they be reminded when not at home. Such reminders can then be acknowledged or rejected using a return SMS or email, or, in the case of a voice call - key presses or voice responses.
  • the device 12 may take one or more other actions before escalating to the next stage (202, 203).
  • the message may be delivered two or more times at each stage (201 , 202) before proceeding to the next stage (202, 204).
  • the device 12 may cause the volume and/or brightness of the message to be increased.
  • this may be achieved in the same way that the device 14 is turned on and the input source is selected.
  • the device 12 may take one or more other actions depending on an input received from one or more sensors for detecting the presence of a person in the vicinity of the device 12.
  • the device 12 may include any convenient sensors, for example the motion detector 28, a thermal sensor or thermal imaging camera. People may also be detected by analysing sounds captured by one or more microphones and so the device 12 may include one or more microphones and appropriate sound recognition software.
  • the primary messaging device 12 may, at any stage (201 , 202) repeat delivery of a message one or more times upon detecting the presence of a person in the vicinity of the device 12, particularly if such detection occurs after a period in which the device 12 has not detected the presence of a person (203).
  • Motion sensors are advantageous in that they can be activated not only when a person enters a room but also when he wakes up. For example in the event that motion is detected, this may be taken to indicate that a room was previously unoccupied or the message recipient was previously asleep, and the reminder may be re-activated, the TV activated again as desired.
  • the primary messaging device 12 may at any stage (201 , 202) determine whether or not to progress to the next stage (202, 204) depending on whether or not a person is detected in the vicinity of the device 12. For example, the device 12 may elect not to deliver a message via the TV unless it detects that someone is in the vicinity. Alternatively or in addition the device 12 may elect to contact a carer (204) only if no user response is received and if a person is detected in the vicinity. It is noted that, at stage 201 , delivering the message via output devices of the primary messaging device 12 itself is optional; the device 12 may instead deliver messages via the auxiliary device 14 in the first instance (in which case the primary messaging device 12 need not necessarily include any message delivery output devices of its own). Delivering messages via the device 12 itself in the first instance is advantageous in that it avoids spoiling the enjoyment of TV programmes through unnecessary interruptions.
  • the device 12 keeps a record of messages that are delivered, responses, if any, that are received, and levels of escalation, if any, that are taken.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiment(s) described herein but can be amended or modified without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Abstract

Selon l'invention, un système de remise de message comprend un dispositif de messagerie principal conçu pour amener un téléviseur à transmettre des messages à un utilisateur. Le téléviseur fournit un moyen direct, pratique et convivial d'appeler l'attention d'une personne âgée sur une chose importante. Le système fournit un moyen très fiable de transmission d'un rappel, et de confirmation que le rappel a été reçu et que l'action nécessaire a été accomplie ou non, en mettant en oeuvre une démarche par étapes avantageuse offrant le niveau le plus élevé de facilité d'utilisation et d'efficacité.
