  • Publication number: 20230116480
    Abstract: A recipient-aware message delivery system observes user activity via sensor hardware, such as a camera, microphone, or biometric or environmental condition sensor, and captures recipient activity data via the sensor. The activity data is analyzed to determine whether the recipient is in a stressed state, e.g., using facial and/or voice recognition, biometric and environmental data, etc. Messages intended for delivery to the recipient are processed. This may involve simply receiving a message intended for immediate delivery or determining whether the message content is likely to be stress-inducing. The system selectively delays delivery of messages to the recipient as a function of the recipient’s stress level by delivering messages without delay when the recipient is not in the stressed state, and by delaying before delivering if the recipient is in the stressed state. Accordingly, the system monitors a message recipient and intervenes when needed to prevent unnecessary stress.

  • Patent number: 10955995
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling a computerized device's display to provide a user interface that renders compact and informative graphical user interface images, particularly in a medical care management device in which a large amount of information is required by the user, and a size of the display device is relatively small. The system and method can deliver structured guidance to medical personnel to promote rendering of medical care in compliance with predetermined care protocols, and automatedly logs, and/or guides the user to log, events and occurrences during the medical emergency for accurate logging of same. Multiple independent cyclical numerical task timers, graphical progress indicators, and cycle counters may be displayed concurrently within a single field of view/window within a display device's display area. Expiration of a cycle time may be reflected by a color change, and initiate text or other prompting according to a predefined care protocol.
