Abstract:
A method is disclosed for providing a telecare service to a patient. According to the method, at least one sensor installed in a domestic environment of the patient detects a datum relating to either the domestic environment or an interaction between patient and domestic environment. Based on the detected datum, an anomaly in the domestic environment or in the interaction between patient and domestic environment is detected. Then, a predefined question uniquely associated with the detected anomaly is selected for generating a questionnaire to be submitted to the patient, with the purpose of determining the cause of the detected anomaly. Based on the patient's reply it is determined if the detected anomaly is a false anomaly and, in the affirmative, the predefined question associated to such false anomaly is excluded from the next questionnaire(s), even if the anomaly persists.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for providing advertisement to a user of a communication network. An advertisement database stores an association between the identifier of a further user and at least one visual advertisement associated with and selected by the further user. When a communication session is set up in the communication network between the user and the further user, an advertisement manager uses the identifier of the further user for retrieving from the advertisement database a visual advertisement selected amongst the visual advertisements associated with the further user. The advertisement manager then transmits the selected visual advertisement to the user for display on a display of the user device.
