  • Publication number: 20230371610
    Abstract: A user feedback system for a user of a delivery device within a delivery ecosystem includes a first device other than the delivery device and including a sensor platform with at least a first sensor operable to detect at least a first physical property associated with the user; the first device including a processor adapted to submit data of the detected at least first physical property to an obtaining processor adapted to output data based upon the or each detected physical property as all or part of a user factor indicative of a user state; and an estimation processor adapted to identify a corresponding feedback action expected to alter a state of the user as indicated at least in part by the or each detected physical property.

  • Publication number: 20230317231
    Abstract: A user feedback system for a user of a first device includes an obtaining processor adapted to obtain one or more user factors indicative of a state of the user; an estimation processor adapted to identify at least a first feedback action based upon one or more of at least a subset of the obtained user factors; and a feedback processor adapted to select at least a first identified feedback action, and to cause a modification of one or more operations of at least the first device, according to the or each selected feedback action, wherein the first device is not an aerosol delivery device.

  • Publication number: 20230301368
    Abstract: A user feedback system for a user of a delivery device within a delivery ecosystem includes an estimation processor adapted to identify at least a first feedback action based upon one or more user factors, the at least first feedback action including a behavioral feedback action for affecting at least a first behavior of the user, the feedback action being expected to alter a state of the user as indicated at least in part by the one or more user factors; and a feedback processor adapted to select at least a first identified feedback action, and to cause a modification of one or more operations of at least a first device within the delivery ecosystem, according to the selected at least first feedback action.

  • Publication number: 20230292848
    Abstract: A user feedback system for a user of a delivery device within a delivery ecosystem includes an obtaining processor adapted to obtain two or more user factors indicative of a state of the user, wherein a first obtained user factor is based upon at least a first aspect of the user’s operation of the delivery device and wherein a second obtained user factor is based upon at least a second aspect of the user’s situation separate to their operation of the delivery device, which occurs during one or more selected from the list consisting of a predetermined period preceding the user’s operation of the delivery device, and a predetermined period following the user’s operation of the delivery device; and an estimation processor adapted to identify a corresponding feedback action expected to alter a state of the user as indicated at least in part by the first and second user factors.

  • Publication number: 20230285712
    Abstract: A user feedback system for a user of a delivery device within a delivery ecosystem includes an estimation processor adapted to identify at least a first feedback action based upon one or more user factors, the feedback action being expected to alter a state of the user as indicated at least in part by the one or more user factors; a first feedback device of a non-delivery ecosystem including a means of implementing at least part of a first identified feedback action; and a feedback processor adapted to select at least a first identified feedback action, and to cause a modification of one or more operations of at least the first device within the non-delivery ecosystem, according to the or each selected feedback action.

  • Publication number: 20230248073
    Abstract: A user feedback system for a user of a delivery device within a delivery ecosystem includes an obtaining processor adapted to obtain one or more user factors indicative of a state of the user; an estimation processor adapted to calculate an estimation of user state based upon one or more of the obtained user factors; and a feedback processor adapted to select a feedback action for at least a first device within the delivery ecosystem, responsive to the estimation of user state, expected to alter the estimated state of a user.

  • Publication number: 20230240380
    Abstract: A user feedback system for a user of a delivery device within a delivery ecosystem includes an estimation processor adapted to identify at least a first feedback action based upon one or more user factors, the at least first feedback action relating to an amount or nature of an active ingredient delivered by the delivery device, the feedback action being expected to alter a state of the user as indicated at least in part by the one or more user factors; and a feedback processor adapted to select at least a first identified feedback action, and to cause a modification of one or more operations of at least a first device within the delivery ecosystem, according to the or each selected feedback action.

  • Publication number: 20230245742
    Abstract: A user feedback system for a user of a delivery device within a delivery ecosystem includes an obtaining processor adapted to obtain one or more user factors indicative of a state of the user, and an estimation processor adapted to identify a one-step or two-step correspondence between the obtained one or more user factors indicative of user state and at least a first feedback action, the feedback action being expected to alter a state of the user as indicated at least in part by the one or more user factors.

  • Publication number: 20230232907
    Abstract: A user feedback system for a user of a delivery device within a delivery ecosystem includes an obtaining processor adapted to obtain one or more user factors indicative of a state of the user, wherein the one or more user factors are based upon at least a first aspect of a situation of the user separate to a handling or operation of the delivery device by the user; and an estimation processor adapted to identify a corresponding feedback action expected to alter a state of the user as indicated at least in part by the or each user factor.
