  • Patent number: 11575986
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wearable apparatus configured for monitoring a user's environment and items in a user's environment. The wearable apparatus comprises a plurality of communication circuits configured to communicate using a plurality of communication protocols. The wearable device is configured to use sensors to automatically detect organisms in a user's environment and issue and warnings related to a detected organism. The wearable device is configured to communicate with a plurality of health sensors that may be separate modules using a plurality of communication protocols and combine the health reading into user health status data. The user status data may be transmitted along with verification tags to remote devices.

  • Patent number: 10820089
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an enigma system for decoding a user's environment. The system is activated using hand/finger movements and/or voice commands that signal the system to select an item in the user's environment and perform predefined information searches in the local or remote database to located information about the item of interest. The user movements may be detected by an imaging device to eliminate the need for structure to be associated with a user's hand. The enigma system can monitor the user's environment and automatically provide selectable information about the user's environment and provide warnings allowing a user to better “decoded” his environment.

  • Patent number: 10057676
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an enigma system comprising wearable universal control (WUC), a hearable, and an electronic device associated with a data source. The WUC is activated using hand/finger movements and/or voice commands that signal the electronic device to select an item in the user's environment and perform predefined information searches in the database and transfer such information to said hearable. The WUC is configured to control any number of devices selected by a user without the need for hardware or software changes. The enigma system can monitor the user's environment and automatically provide selectable information about the user's environment allowing a user to better “decoded” his environment as well as provide warnings.

  • Patent number: 9607506
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wearable universal wireless controller configured to generate control signals for controlling a plurality of devices without the need for hardware or software modification. Such controller comprises a plurality of stretch sensors and switch sensors associated with at least one glove or similar structure configured for being associated with a users' hand. The controller detects finger and hand movements and generates the appropriate communication signal based on values contained in a configuration table. The same wireless controller can control a plurality of devices without the need for reprogramming or mode selections.
