REMOTE CONTROL WITH ALERT FUNCTION

摘要

The application provides a remote control (100) for alerting and/or reminding a user of a predefined event. The remote control is adapted for bi-directional wireless signal transmission to a base station (112) and for generating a perceptible alert in response to receiving an alert signal from a base station. The remote control is ideally suitable for applications within a telehealth system for alerting or reminding a patient of an event of a medical action plan. The remote control combines alert functionality as well as wireless entry of control commands into the base station. Moreover, the remote control can be personalized to a specific user allowing a plurality of users to share a base station of a telehealth system.
