Embodiment Construction

[0021] Referring to FIG. 1, a context-dependent communication system 10 includes wireless mobile devices 12 owned by a single administrative entity, such as a hospital, business, factory, or the like. Each mobile device 12 includes a location component 14 connected by a wireless link 20 to a hospital location system 16 in operative communication with a hospital network 18 , eg, via a software protocol. In one embodiment, the hospital location system 16 is a central location system. The hospital positioning system 16 communicates with the positioning component 14 to obtain the location of each mobile device 12 through known indoor positioning techniques. In one embodiment, hospital location system 16 is in wireless communication with location component 14 . For example, the hospital network 18 includes a wireless technology infrastructure, and each positioning component 14 includes a WLAN card. An example of a WLAN technology is the IEEE 802.11x wireless LAN standard. Other ...

Abstract

A medical communication system (10) comprises peer devices (44, 46) which provide medical services which are used for patient monitoring, patient management or other medical procedures involving patients and/or clinicians. A mobile device (12) includes a short-range interface device (22) for discovering peer devices (44, 46) and associated peer devices services (66). A positioning component (14) determines a location of the mobile device (12). An identification component (60) reads a patient identification device (48) and a clinician identification device (50) and identifies a patient (32) and a clinician (30) at the location of the mobile device (12). A visibility manager (120) limits information and services available to the mobile device (12) to current context relevant information andservices which are based at least on one of the identity of the patient (32), the identity of the clinician (30), and the identified mobile device location.

Description

technical field [0001] The following relates to network systems and methods. It is particularly applicable to a small range medical wireless network system and will be described with particular reference thereto. However, it should be understood that the present invention is also applicable to other network systems and the like. Background technique [0002] Short-range wireless systems typically have a range of less than a hundred meters, but can interface with the Internet to provide communications over longer distances. Short-range wireless systems include, but are not limited to, wireless personal area networks (PANs) and wireless local area networks (LANs). Wireless PANs use low-cost, low-power wireless devices with a typical range of about ten meters. An example of wireless PAN technology is the IEEE802.15.1 Bluetooth standard. An example of wireless LAN technology is the IEEE802.11X wireless LAN standard. [0003] Bluetooth devices include, but are not limited to...
