Abstract:
A bed proximity-determining system includes communications functionality and an ability to determine the proximity of a caregiver to a bed. Based on that proximity, the system transmits commands to the bed or a local system.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus comprising a bed proximity-determining system, the bed proximity-determining system comprising:\n a first infrared transmitter for transmitting an infrared signal, wherein the first infrared transmitter is associated with and is physically coupled to a surface of a room; one or more ultrasound transmitters that transmit ultrasound; a tag, the tag having an IR receiver for receiving the infrared signal, an ultrasound receiver for receiving ultrasound from the one or more ultrasound transmitters, and a transmitter that transmits first proximity-related information based on the received ultrasound; a first transceiver that receives the first proximity-related information and either:\n (a) transmits the first proximity-related information, or \n (b) generates and transmits second proximity-related information that is based on the first proximity-related information; and \n a bed controller, wherein the bed controller receives the first proximity-related information or second proximity-related information, and performs at least one of the following actions:\n (a) generates a control signal based on the first or second proximity-related information; \n (b) generates a command based on the first or second proximity-related information; or \n (c) transmits the first or second proximity-related information.
