Systems, devices and methods for altering sensory perceptions are disclosed. The systems and methods of the present invention comprise operably coupling at least one device for capturing sensory data to a computing device, identifying the captured data, querying at least one data base to identify desired behaviors and/or outcomes, querying the same data base or other data bases to identify and/or calculate modified, enhanced and/or virtual sensory data likely to achieve the desired behaviors or outcomes, generating modified, enhanced and/or virtual sensory data, and substituting the altered sensory data in real or near real time for the sensory data. The present invention advantageously alters sensory perceptions to promote health, ease patient's fears and allow safe performance of medical procedures, promote personal and public safety, and improve the success of military mission and operations.

A game engine is configured to accept human intelligence tasks as in-game content and present the in-game content to the game player. A method performed by the game engine enables performance of human intelligence tasks, such as visual discrimination, in a video game context. The game engine may receive a definition of human intelligence tasks from one or more remote sources. The game engine may present the human intelligence tasks to multiple video game participants as in-game content. The game engine defines and enables game play rules for the in-game content. The game play rules set parameters for the multiple video game participants to perform the human intelligence tasks to achieve desired results. The game engine may award each of the multiple video game participants an improved game score upon successful performance of the human intelligence tasks in accordance with the game play rules. The game engine may measure success by consistency in responses between different participants or trials.

A physical, non-human readable representation of a digital key may be in a physical key article. The key article may enable a person to generate a signal representing the digital key from a user interface device in communication with a computer by physical manipulation of the key article. Access to digital content via the computer may be unlocked in response to receiving the signal. In addition, a key may be represented by a pattern of unreadable errors in a computer-readable medium.

摘要:
A portable communications device, such as a mobile phone, includes a novel tactile alerting mechanism capable of alerting the user of an incoming communication or other event. In some embodiments, a mechanical actuator causes a rod or lever to pulsate, rotate, or protrude out of a static housing for the communications device. In other embodiments, a pneumatic actuator inflates a bladder that protrudes out of the housing. The alerting mechanism may be configured as a movable part of a decorative fanciful housing for the communications device.
摘要:
A method operates to detect personal identifying or account information exchanged in a real-time electronic communication occurring between computer network users, such as electronic chat. A detected personal identifier may be recognized as an attempt on the part of one user to engage in a phishing attack upon another user or to otherwise steal the other user's sensitive personal information. Upon recognizing the communication as an unwarranted attempt to collect such information, the electronic communication may be monitored, and communication of the personal information may be prevented.
摘要:
Systems, devices and methods for managing charging and power status for portable devices are disclosed. The systems, devices and methods of the present invention comprise determining existing battery level and charge status of a device, comparing the battery level and charge status with predicted battery usage of tasks associated with calendar events scheduled to take place before the next charge, and transmitting an alert to one or more devices when a threshold likelihood that the battery level will not be sufficient for the predicted battery usage is exceeded. The present invention advantageously displays available power based on time available for certain tasks, and manages device power and resources by modifying and/or transferring tasks from a device having a battery level below a threshold level to one or more other devices with a higher battery levels.
摘要:
Systems, devices and methods for gathering, identifying, analyzing, storing and/or using massive data streams to create a virtual consciousness of a person so as to emulate the person's responses to queries from other people and/or situations after the person is no longer able to communicate are disclosed. The systems, methods and devices determine the appropriate weight to give certain subsets of data based on ambient data and/or sensor data, direct input from the person, media and/or social media, and/or constant feedback throughout the person's remaining life, and utilize computer learning techniques to learn the person's idiosyncrasies, experiences, ethics and morals, attitude, personas, communication preferences, habits, goals, aspirations, beliefs, culture, and other aspects of the person's consciousness to predict the response of the person to the queries and/or situations. The system may utilize encryption to protect data, and employ a permissions system to display certain data to appropriate people.
摘要:
Systems, devices and methods for managing information about living beings and/or objects are disclosed. The systems and methods of the present invention comprise operably coupling together at least two Digital Person Devices, gathering data about living beings and/or objects with one or more of the Digital Person Devices, analyzing and/or identifying the data gathered, and sharing at least a portion of the data between one or more of the Digital Person Devices so as to improve qualities and/or the quantity of available data to the devices, and/or to reduce the power, performance and/or bandwidth required by one or more of the Digital Person Devices. In some embodiments, the systems and methods also comprise operably coupling a digital professor device to the Digital Person Devices, wherein the Digital Professor Device manages the gathering of data, and/or the storing, analyzing, identifying and/or exchanging of the gathered data.
摘要:
Methods and systems for determining the likelihood that a person is impaired, generally comprising gathering ambient data from sensors operably coupled to a primary measuring device (PMD), analyzing and/or identifying the ambient data, querying at least one database to identify baseline data regarding the person, and comparing the ambient data to the baseline data to determine the likelihood that the person is impaired. The methods and systems advantageously detect medical and/or cognitive impairment without the need for specialized devices, examination by specialists, consent of the person being evaluated, and compliance with recommendations to be examined, and may be applied to estimating the level of impairment of a person due to alcohol, drugs, exposure to toxic chemicals, changes to mental status, insufficient sleep, medical problems, changes to blood sugar levels, divided attention, vision changes, hearing changes, use of a mobile device while walking or operating a vehicle, and other factors.
