Abstract
A system for playback of messages. Context appropriate messages for an environment may be played back. Messages may be user behavior interactive and subject to user behavior initiated message playback conditions. User generated environment events may be automatically analyzed and user behavior interactive messages may be automatically coordinated. An automated themed message playback apparatus may have a self-contained housing within which a stored themed message, an in situ user generated environment event sensor, and an automated themed message playback device are housed. User generated environment events may be automatically sensed in situ.
Claims21
A method for automatically playing back context appropriate messages for an environment comprising the steps of:
- storing at least one user relevant environment themed behavior interactive message appropriate for a given user generated environment event and subject to a timer, and such storage provided on an automated, battery powered, self-contained selectively positionable and repositionable message playback device within a self-contained housing;
- storing a user environment behavior initiated message playback condition appropriate for said given user generated environment event on said automated, battery powered, self-contained selectively positionable and repositionable message playback device within said self-contained housing;
- commencing a timer countdown time period of said timer;
- automatically in-situ sensing from within said environment by said automated, battery powered, self-contained selectively positionable and repositionable message playback device within said self-contained housing said given user generated environment event;
- automatically analyzing by said automated, battery powered, self-contained selectively positionable and repositionable message playback device within said self-contained housing said given user generated environment event with respect to said user environment behavior initiated message playback condition appropriate for said given user generated environment event;
- automatically analyzing by said automated, battery powered, self-contained selectively positionable and repositionable message playback device within said self-contained housing said timer countdown time period of said timer to make said at least one user relevant environment themed behavior interactive message available in response to said countdown time period;
- playing said at least one user relevant environment themed behavior interactive message appropriate for a given user generated environment event and subject to a timer;
- and
- automatically individually addressing said user by said automated, battery powered, self-contained selectively positionable and repositionable message playback device within a self-contained housing, by said at least one user relevant environment themed behavior interactive message appropriate for a given user generated environment event and subject to a timer.
