Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a conversation facilitation system and method configured for capturing and presenting life moment information for a subject with cognitive impairment. The system and method comprises obtaining life moment information from one or more life moment capturing devices. The life moment information comprises information on daily activities experienced by the subject, including locations of daily activities and/or co-participants in the daily activities. The system and method comprises storing the life moment information for later review by the subject and/or a caregiver of the subject. The system and method comprises obtaining external data relating to the life moment information from one or more external data sources. The system and method comprises utilizing the life moment information and the external data to generate a life moment timeline.

Abstract: There is provided a method of controlling the operation of a first electronic device having a first display screen, the method comprising obtaining (101; 111) measurements of a position of the first electronic device relative to a second electronic device, an orientation of the first display screen, and/or an orientation of a second display screen of a second electronic device; determining (103; 113), using the obtained measurements, one or both of (i) whether a first user using the first electronic device can view the second display screen, and (ii) whether a second user using the second electronic device can view the first display screen; and controlling (105; 115) the display of information on the first display screen based on the result of the step of determining.

Abstract: A method for generating an imagery mnemonic is described herein. The method includes receiving at least two words of interest. The method further includes evaluating the at least two words to determine what entities they represent, and identifying one of the at least two words as a subject word and another of the at least two words as an 5 object word using a subject-object model. The method further includes searching a database of images for images corresponding to the at least two words. The method further includes identifying a classifier for the at least two words, and classifying the images including identifying a first image that includes the entity represented by the subject word and a second image that includes the entity represented by the object word. The method further includes 10 creating an imagery mnemonic by combining the first and second images.

Abstract: A method of controlling a device that includes a receiver and a movement sensor includes (a) deactivating the receiver; (b) while the receiver is deactivated, analyzing measurements from the movement sensor to determine a measure of the distance the device has moved from a first location; and (c) in the event that it is determined from the measurements from the movement sensor that the device has moved from the first location by more than a threshold distance, activating the receiver and using the receiver to obtain a second measurement of the location of the device.
