Patent ID: 7450730

Claim:
A personal monitoring system for a user, comprising: at least one of a sensor for sensing an internal body parameter of said user and a sensor for sensing an ambient parameter of the ambient around said user, an earpiece for being worn at least in part in an ear canal of said user including an acoustic output transducer for providing sound to said user's ear canal, an evaluation unit communicating with said sensor, means for individually implementing an individually defined regulation for said sensed parameter into said evaluation unit, said evaluation unit being adapted for monitoring sensed values of said parameter over time and comparing them to said individually defined regulations for said sensed parameter and being adapted for continuously judging whether said sensed values of said parameter comply with said individual regulation or not, and a compliance control unit communicating with said evaluation unit and with said output transducer for providing acoustic signals to a user's ear via said output transducer for providing said user with acoustic information regarding a present compliance of said sensed parameter with said implemented individual regulations depending on a judgement made by said evaluation unit.
