Abstract: According to various embodiments, a mobile device continuously and/or automatically scans a user environment for tags containing non-human-readable data. The mobile device may continuously and/or automatically scan the environment for tags without being specifically directed at a particular tag. The mobile device may be adapted to scan for audio tags, radio frequency tags, and/or image tags. The mobile device may be configured to scan for and identify tags within the user environment that satisfy a user preference. The mobile device may perform an action in response to identifying a tag that satisfies a user preference. The mobile device may be configured to scan for a wide variety of tags, including tags in the form of quick response codes, steganographic content, audio watermarks, audio outside of a human audible range, radio frequency identification tags, long wavelength identification tags, near field communication tags, and/or a Memory Spot device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring compliance of a patient with a prescribed treatment regimen are described. Patient speech is detected during use of a communication system such as a mobile telephone and analyzed to determine compliance with a treatment for a brain-related disorder, for example. Speech data representing one or more patient speech pattern and an identity signal containing information used to determine presence/identity of the patient are transmitted from a circuitry-based system at the patient location to a monitoring location. Identity of the patient as user of the communication system is determined through, e.g., biometric or authentication techniques. Speech data is analyzed to determine whether a patient speech pattern matches one or more characteristic speech patterns. Outcome of the analysis is reported to a medical caregiver or other party, for example.
