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 is described as having multiple operational states including a first state and a second state. In the second state, the oxygen supply device is controllable to a remote-control instruction, while in the first state, the oxygen supply device is controllable only to a local control instruction.
The device receives a switch request requesting to switch the oxygen supply device from the second state to the first state. In response to a determination that the switch request is authorized to effectuate the switch, the oxygen supply device switches from the second state to the first state.
The described system includes remote computing and cloud-connected operation where remote-control instructions and switch requests are handled, including authorization-related information. Patient physiological parameter information received from a personal digital device is used to support remote monitoring, alerts, and remote adjustment of oxygen supply settings.
Claims Coverage
The independent claims cover two inventive features: a two-state remote/local controllability model for an oxygen supply device, and authorized switching between the states via received switch requests.
Authorization-gated switching from remote to local control state
Receiving a switch request requesting to switch the oxygen supply device from the second state to the first state; and, in response to a determination that the switch request is authorized to effectuate the switch, switching the oxygen supply device from the second state to the first state.
Remote-to-local switching via received switch requests
Receiving a first switch request requesting to switch the oxygen supply device from the second state to the first state, the first switch request being generated from a first remote device; and receiving a second switch request requesting to switch the oxygen supply device from the first state to the second state, the first switch request being generated from a first remote device.
Overall, the claims are directed to an oxygen supply device and method that enforce remote controllability in a second operational state and local-only controllability in a first operational state, with switching between the states controlled through switch requests and an authorization determination.
