Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2207154A1] The method involves classifying characteristics of a user from user's activity indicators obtained from acceleration measurements acquired by an accelerometer (20) i.e. three-axis accelerometer, of a fall detection device (10), where the device is in the form of pendant, wrist-watch strap or belt. Actuation of an electromagnetic or radiofrequency alarm signal is delayed so as to avoid false alarms, where the signal is sent from a transmission unit (18) via a base connected to a telecommunication network e.g. Internet or global system for mobile communication (GSM) network. An independent claim is also included for a user fall detection device comprising a case enclosing a supply unit.
