Disclosed is a system for increasing attention ability of a user using a gameplay. The system may include a display device configured to display a moving image comprising an object, a cursor and a points counter. Further, the system may include an audio device configured to produce acoustic waves based on a sound data associated with a level. Further, the system may include an input device configured to receive a spatial input data. Further, the system may include a processing device communicatively coupled to each of the display device, the audio device and the input device. Further, the system may include a storage device communicatively coupled to the processing device. Further, the storage device may be configured to store digital data corresponding to an object, a cursor, a current cursor location, a previous cursor location, a geometric shape and the sound data in association with the multiple level indicators.
EMOTIONAL/COGNITIVE STATE-TRIGGERED RECORDING
Emotional/cognitive state-triggered recording is described. A buffer is used to temporarily store captured video content until a change in an emotional or cognitive state of a user is detected. Sensor data indicating a change in an emotional or cognitive state of a user triggers the creation of a video segment based on the current contents of the buffer.
DYNAMIC ANNOUNCING FOR CREATION OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION CONNECTIONS
Example electronic devices, including but not limited to implantable medical devices, and methods employing dynamic announcing for creation of wireless communication connections are disclosed herein. In an example, an electronic device includes a wireless communication interface to transmit announcement signals for creating a wireless communication connection with the external device. The electronic device also includes a sensor to detect a characteristic of an environment external to the electronic device, and a control circuit including an announcement timing control module to dynamically control timing of the announcement signals based on the detected characteristic.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRESENTING ADVERTISEMENTS IN A VIRTUALIZED ENVIRONMENT
Certain embodiments may relate to presenting advertisements in a virtualized environment. A method and apparatus may be provided. The method may include generating, by a virtual reality device, a virtualized environment for a user. The method may also include inserting an advertisement within the virtualized environment. The method may further include determining that the user has viewed the inserted advertisement. The method may also include determining a response of the user when the user views the inserted advertisement. The method may further include storing the response of the user.
Biometric and environmental monitoring and control system
The present invention is a wearable device for comprehensive bio-monitoring of physiologic metrics to determine metabolic, pulmonary and cardiac function and oxygen saturation measurements from breathing mask apparatuses. The device non-invasively monitors the physiologic profile of the subject, and is capable of detecting physiologic changes, predicting onset of symptoms, and alerting the wearer or another person or system. In some embodiments, the device comprises both a wearable sensor suite and a portable gas composition and flow analysis system. In preferred embodiments, it comprises a miniaturized non-invasive sensor suite for detecting physiologic changes to detect dangerous breathing or other health conditions. The system utilizes advanced fast-response sensors with improved efficiency and lifespan, and provides rapid analysis for substantially real-time monitoring of the subject's present condition to predict, mitigate and/or prevent the onset of dangerous conditions.
Methods and apparatus for monitoring and encouraging health and fitness
Methods and apparatus are provided for monitoring and encouraging health and fitness. In accordance with a first aspect, an apparatus is provided that is adapted to assist in weight loss and exercise. The apparatus comprises a personal digital assistant (PDA) having computer program code adapted to assist in at least one of calorie counting, meal selection, meal suggestion, weight monitoring, weight loss or gain monitoring, fat consumption monitoring, sugar consumption monitoring and salt consumption monitoring. The PDA also includes computer program code adapted to display historical data regarding at least one of calorie counting, meal selection, meal suggestion, weight monitoring, weight loss or gain monitoring, fat consumption monitoring, sugar consumption monitoring and salt consumption monitoring. Numerous other embodiments are provided, as are methods, systems and computer program products.
INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
An information processing device includes: an information acquisition unit that acquires biometric information from a biometric sensor; a processing unit that generates first report information for reporting stamina information indicating stamina of a user and second report information different from the first report information based on the biometric information; and an output unit that outputs the first report information and the second report information. The second report information includes at least one piece of information among second stamina information which indicates the stamina of the user and is different from the stamina information, third stamina information regarding another user, advice information or alert information regarding an activity of the user, and exercise continuable information regarding the user.
DEVICE FOR MONITORING PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS
A physiology monitoring system is provided for reducing the risk of sudden unexpected infant death in infants and to monitor physiological parameters in both infants and adults. An embodiment of the monitoring system includes a belt dimensioned to encircle a patient's chest; an accelerometer configured to detect inhale/exhale motions of the patient's chest; a gyroscopic sensor configured to detect supine/prone orientation of the patient; a controller configured for receiving signals from the accelerometer and gyroscopic sensor and determining a risk to the patient based on the received signals; and an e-paper display. The e-paper display being coupled to the control circuit and configured to display instructional messages to a caregiver. Additionally, a power source provides energizing power to the accelerometer, gyroscopic sensor, controller and e-paper display for a minimum period of one year.
TECHNIQUE FOR DETERMINING SLEEPING STATE OF USER
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program that causes a computer to execute a method to display an image of a predetermined process on a body-mounted display device worn by a user, the method includes tracking a head or the like of the user, and calculating the position and the direction of the head or the like; displaying the image of the predetermined process in a virtual space of the display device; determining that the user is in the sleeping state when a candidate state, in which at least either of the calculated position and direction of the head or the like of the user is shifted by greater than or equal to a predetermined set amount, continues for greater than or equal to a predetermined set period; and performing a predetermined sleeping countermeasure process when the user is determined to be in the sleeping state.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING AND PROCESSING BIOELECTRICAL SIGNALS
A variation of a method for collecting and processing bioelectrical signals includes: establishing bioelectrical contact between a user and one or more sensors of a biomonitoring neuroheadset; monitoring contact characteristics of the one or more sensors based on bioelectrical signals detected at the one or more sensors; and providing feedback to the user based on the contact characteristics.
