Apparatus and method for determining the attitude of a remotely monitored device

摘要

An apparatus and method for the determination of the attitude of a remotely monitored device attached or non-attached to the body of a remotely monitored person is disclosed. The device attitude is determined by two tilt-over switches having pre-defined operating angles that operate in combination. Periodically, indication concerning the number degrees of inclination measured by two tilt-over switches is obtained and a device attitude monitoring calculation is performed based on the indications.
