    Patent number: 6769915
    Abstract: A user-interactive behavioral modification system (10) includes a base module (12) with an input (14) for a first set of personal data (16). A feedback interface (18) provides feedback in response to the first data set (16). A main database (22) maintains the first data set (16). A main controller (24) generates a main output signal (26) for causing feedback to the user (28) according to a predetermined set of behavioral pattern rules (30). The feedback interface (18) receives a feedback input signal (32) and includes a display (34) for displaying an appearance of a character (36) based on the first set of personal data (16) and in response to the received input signal (32).
