Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method for administering devices, the method comprising: creating by a computer a user metric vector comprising a plurality of disparate user metrics, wherein each user metric is a measurable aspect of a user's condition, wherein the user is a person; creating by a computer a first user metric space that is associated with a first environment and specific to the person, the first user metric space comprising a first plurality of metric ranges, wherein each metric range in the first plurality of metric ranges includes a minimum value and a maximum value for each of the plurality of disparate user metrics included in the user metric vector; creating by a computer a second user metric space that is associated with a second environment and specific to the person, the second user metric space comprising a second plurality of metric ranges, wherein each metric range in the second plurality of metric ranges includes a minimum value and a maximum value for each of the plurality of disparate user metrics included in the user metric vector; responsive to determining the person is within the first environment, determining whether the user metric vector is outside the first user metric space; if the user metric vector is outside the first user metric space, identifying a first action in dependence upon the user metric vector; and executing the first action; responsive to determining the person is within the second environment, determining whether the user metric vector is outside the second user metric space; if the user metric vector is outside the second user metric space, identifying a second action in dependence upon the user metric vector; and executing the second action.
