DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] FIG. 1 is a block diagram depiction of a wearable and autonomous emotional outburst management device system 100. It uses a sensor array 101 from direct user bodily contact in an embodiment such as a sphygmomanometer 101A, an electrocardiograph 101B, a thermometer 101C, a respiratory monitor 101D, an electrodermal graph 101E, or an accelerometer 101F.

[0037] A sensor array 101 receives a correlated analyte 102 in an embodiment such as blood pressure 102A, heart rate 102B, body temperature 102C, respiratory rate 102D, perspiration volume 102E, or in an embodiment such as muscle tension 102F.

[0038] Input reading settings are pre-determined by a selection element 40 relayed to a microcontroller 20 and confirmed by a status monitor 34. A microcontroller 20 analyzes biometric signals in order to send an appropriate response to a deterring member 1300 thereby activating a deterring member 1300.

[0039] Power for a wearable and autonomous emotional outburst management device system 100 is received by a power converter 32 that regulates electricity attached to a power source element 28 that is mated into a charging jack port 30 integrated into a wearable housing 12 which allocates power to a system.

[0081] FIG. 11 is a birdseye view demonstrating an embodiment of a wearable device worn by a user composed of a wearable housing 12, connection strap 16, and adjustment belt 46.

[0082] Operation

[0083] In operation, one uses an embodiment of my wearable and autonomous emotional outburst management device system by attaching the wearable housing 12 (FIG. 2) in a normal manner by attaching the connection strap 16 to the adjustment belt 46 (FIG. 2). Prior to this the user adequately charges the wearable housing 12 using the connected power source element 28 (FIG. 3). An embodiment is worn by a user to assist in anger outburst subjugation.

[0084] As displayed in FIG. 8, an embodiment receives one or more analyte 102 of the human user through bodily contacting one or more sensor array 101. These readings are sent to the microcontroller 20 contained in the wearable housing 12. The microcontroller 20 processes the information then analyzes the biometric signals. With the biometric signals analyzed, the microcontroller 20 determines an appropriate response or lack of response.

[0085] If a response is warranted, the deterring member 1300 attached to the microcontroller 20 will react appropriately. When these predetermined conditions manually selected from selection element 40 occur, the user will be affected by the deterring member 1300; ranging from sudden awareness to total incapacitation. The severity of the deterrent output will differ depending on the needs of the user.

[0086] FIG. 2 displays a method in which the user can control the operation of the embodiment by manually administering stimuli via the selection element 40. The system automatically produces interruption stimuli in response to one or more measurements of an analyte 102 acquired by a sensor array 101 (FIG. 8) that indicates an imminent anger outburst.

[0087] The user can, when desired, activate the status monitor 34 (FIG. 3) by pressing the selection element 40 to activate the microcontroller 20 (FIG. 4A). When the status monitor 34 is activated, the selection element 40 can be engaged by the user to set when predetermined conditions occur, as well as, display and adjust the following metrics:

[0088] (1) As shown in FIG. 1, one of A sensor array 101 receiving biofeedback consisting of a sphygmomanometer 101A, an electrocardiograph 101B, a thermometer 101C, a respiratory monitor 101D, an electrodermal graph 101E, or an accelerometer 101F.

[0089] (2) As shown in FIG. 1, one of an analyte 102 reading consisting of blood pressure 102A, heart rate 102B, body temperature 102C, respiratory rate 102D, perspiration volume 102E, or muscle tension 102F.

[0090] (3) As shown in FIG. 10, one of a deterring member 1300 fused to the microcontroller 20 (FIG. 2) provides a deterrent consisting of an electroshock contact 1300A, a lachrymatory spray canister 1300B, a paralytic needle 1300C, a tacky propellant hose 1300D, an emetic patch 1300E, a directed radiation laser 1300F, a electromagnetic radiation gun 1300G, an malodorant fogger 1300H, or an sound pressure amplifier 1300I.

[0091] One or more analyte 102 (FIG. 8) digital readings are the measurable physiological changes that occur in the user's body leading up to the cause of physical damage to people or objects around the user due to intermittent explosive disorder diagnosis or other anger-related mental illness.

[0092] Settings for the microcontroller 20 and an associated deterring member 1300 are determined via the selection element 40 (FIG. 2) and status monitor 34 (FIG. 3). After baseline user's measurements are taken and stimulus output is determined, the embodiment calls for nominal effort from the user.

[0093] Advantages

[0094] From the description above, a number of advantages of some embodiments of my behavioral treatments become evident: [0095] (a) They provide behavioral treatments that are more convenient. [0096] (b) They reduce the need for unpredictable medication effects. [0097] (c) They do not entail the significant time and consistency commitment of other treatments. [0098] (d) They operate substantially autonomously, plus they are simpler and more reliable. [0099] (e) They are more accessible and inexpensive to manufacture. [0100] (f) They will be used with a minimal of encumbrance, providing at the same time a persistent and tangible reminder. [0101] (g) They provide potent external punishment often justified by many extreme anger outbursts such as experienced by those meeting the IED criteria. [0102] (h) They are designed specifically to treat the most potentially destructive and common drive in human beings. [0103] (i) They do not rely on inconsistent psychotherapy intervention, instead offering to empower the user with a level of involvement. [0104] (j) They treat the conditioned anger response in a noninvasive and rapid manner so the user will be more motivated to continue treatment. [0105] (k) They allow flexibility in the choice of the deterrent(s), allowing for a broader user base. [0106] (l) They are configured to have detecting implementation customized according to a user, guardian, parole officer, health official, or other third party's unique circumstances. [0107] (m) They allow readily available observation regarding the level of the users' compliance and treatment effectiveness in comparison to current psychological and psychiatric models. [0108] Other advantages of one or more aspects will be apparent from a consideration of the drawings and ensuing description.

[0109] Conclusion, Ramifications, and Scope

[0110] Thus, the reader will see that at least one embodiment provides a more convenient, reliable, yet efficient solution to anger outbursts than current methods relying on therapy and medication. Additionally, the anger treatments heretofore known demand that the user engages in continual self-monitoring and repeated visits to medical professionals.

[0111] However, a user experiencing the physiological and environmental effects of anger needs an automatically triggered system that operates autonomously to avoid extreme harm to self or others. The wearable and autonomous emotional outburst management device system embodiment delivers immediate, dependable, and potentially incapacitating capabilities in a reliable manner. Such a solution will save many material objects, relationships, and lives.

[0112] Although the description above contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope, but rather as an exemplification of one of several embodiments thereof. Many other variations are possible. For example, the adjustment belt, connection strap, frame, adjustment hole, or prong can have other shapes, such as circular, oval, trapezoidal, triangular, etc.; the wearable housing can be made of materials that increase or decrease the potency of the deterrence, such as conductive, absorbent, synthetic, natural, etc.; the frame can additionally include semi-permanent glue, magnets, snapping buttons, or be surgically fastened; the sensor array can include additional biological parameters to monitor such as deglutition, desquamation, egestion, eructation, lacrimation, manducation, micturition, pandiculation, protopepsia, sialorrhea, stasis, sternutation, or vomiting; the status monitor can have a predetermined numeric sequence input involved to attach or remove the system, etc.

[0113] Thus the scope of the embodiments should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examples given.
