Abstract
Embodiments provide an oxygen supply device having multiple operational states including a first state and a second state. In the first state, the oxygen supply device is controllable to a local control instruction such that the oxygen supply device can be operated by a user physically located within a proximity of the oxygen supply device. In the second state, the oxygen supply device is only controllable to a remote-control instruction such that the oxygen supply device can be operated by a user remote to the oxygen supply device. For example, the user can be located in an office remote to a location of the oxygen supply device, which, for example, may be placed at a patient's home. In the second state, the user is enabled to control the oxygen supply device from a device associated with the user in the remote location.
Core Innovation
An oxygen supply device has multiple operational states including a first state and a second state. In the second state, the oxygen supply device is controllable only to a remote-control instruction, and in the first state, the oxygen supply device is controllable to a local control instruction.
The oxygen supply device includes a circuit configured to receive a switch request requesting switching from the second state to the first state. The circuit determines whether the switch request is authorized to effectuate the switch, and if authorized it switches the oxygen supply device from the second state to the first state and starts a timer.
The circuit determines that the timer has exceeded a preset time period and switches the oxygen supply device from the first state to the second state. Authorization of the switch request is determined using authorization based on remote-control authorization information and/or biometric information and/or authorized-user identification.
A method and a non-transitory computer medium perform the same state-based remote-controlling concept by receiving a switch request, determining authorization, switching from the second state to the first state while starting a timer, and switching back to the second state after a preset time period.
Claims Coverage
The document includes three independent claims, which cover an oxygen supply device, a method, and a non-transitory computer medium. The independent claims share the same core inventive sequence: receive a switch request, determine authorization, switch to a local-control state, start a timer, and then switch back to a remote-control-only state after exceeding a preset time period.
State-dependent remote versus local controllability with authorized switching
An oxygen supply device having multiple operational states including a first state and a second state, wherein in the second state the oxygen supply device is controllable only to a remote-control instruction, and in the first state the oxygen supply device is controllable to a local control instruction.
Authorized transition from remote-only state to local-control state with timer reversion
Receiving a switch request requesting to switch the oxygen supply device from the second state to the first state; determining whether the switch request is authorized to effectuate the switch; in response to a determination that the switch request is authorized, switching the oxygen supply device from the second state to the first state and starting a timer; and determining that the timer has exceeded a preset time period and switching the oxygen supply device from the first state to the second state.
Method for remote-controlling with authorized state switching and timer reversion
A method to facilitate remote-controlling an oxygen supply device having multiple operational states including a first state and a second state, wherein in the second state the oxygen supply device is controllable only to a remote-control instruction, and in the first state the oxygen supply device is controllable to a local control instruction, wherein the method comprises receiving a switch request requesting to switch the oxygen supply device from the second state to the first state; determining whether the switch request is authorized to effectuate the switch; in response to a determination that the switch request is authorized, switching the oxygen supply device from the second state to the first state and starting a timer; and determining that the timer has exceeded a preset time period and switching the oxygen supply device from the first state to the second state.
Non-transitory computer medium for authorized state switching and timer reversion
A non-transitory computer medium configured to store computer programs to facilitate remote-controlling an oxygen supply device having multiple operational states including a first state and a second state, wherein in the second state the oxygen supply device is controllable only to a remote-control instruction, and in the first state the oxygen supply device is controllable to a local control instruction, wherein the computer programs are executable to cause a processor of a computing device to perform receiving a switch request requesting to switch the oxygen supply device from the second state to the first state; determining whether the switch request is authorized to effectuate the switch; in response to a determination that the switch request is authorized, switching the oxygen supply device from the second state to the first state and starting a timer; and determining that the timer has exceeded a preset time period and switching the oxygen supply device from the first state to the second state.
Across the independent claims, the coverage focuses on state-dependent controllability that permits switching from a remote-control-only state to a local-control state only when a received switch request is authorized, followed by automatic switching back to the remote-control-only state when a timer exceeds a preset time period.
