Doubt on observer design pattern

Question

Hi

Consider below two scenarios :

1. Family head say for example grand father gets notified if any of the family member go out of the house.

2. Smallest designation employee of organization takes a day leave on emergency and notifies spoc (single point of contact ) person of each department (account , finance , admin etc..)

Let me know which one of the above two is considered observer pattern case ? And remaining one is scenario of which pattern ?

Answer 1

Observer design pattern can be used in both of these scenarios

1) family head is the observer and all the family members are subjects ( in this case, one might wanna update the notification event to uniquely identify seperate subjects )

2) This looks like a classical case of observer design pattern, where the employee is the subject and spoc of each department are observers.
