Patent ID: 8180885

Claim:
A method for administering devices, the method comprising: creating a user metric vector comprising a plurality of disparate user metrics, each user metric representing an indication of a user's physical condition, wherein the user metric vector is a single data structure that includes the plurality of disparate user metrics; creating a plurality of user metric spaces, wherein each user metric space is a data structure that includes a plurality of metric ranges for a plurality of disparate user metrics; selecting, from the plurality of user metric spaces, a user metric space, wherein the selecting, from the plurality of user metric spaces, the user metric space comprises selecting a metric space ID in dependence upon a calendar data; determining whether the user metric vector is outside the selected user metric space wherein said determining comprises, calculating a user metric value utilizing said plurality of disparate user metrics of said user metric vector, calculating a metric space value utilizing said user metric space, and comparing said user metric value and said metric space value; if the user metric vector is outside the selected user metric space, identifying an action in dependence upon the user metric vector; and executing the action.
