Abstract

A wearable sound capturing and retrieval system that includes a wearable sound capturing device that comprises a data collection device including at least one microphone configured for capturing sound data adjacent a user in at least a substantially continuous manner. The system may, for example: (1) store the captured sound data; (2) convert the captured sound data to captured textual data; (3) index data selected from: one or more segments of captured sound data and one or more segments of captured textual data; and (3) facilitate retrieval of at least a portion of the indexed data, wherein facilitating the retrieval includes (I) scanning the indexed data to identify one or more key phrases, (ii) retrieving one or more segments of indexed data that was communicated by the user at least about contemporaneously with the one or more key phrases, and (iii) saving the one or more segments of indexed data.

Claims19

Dependent claims

A wearable sound capturing and retrieval system, comprising:

at least one processor and memory;
and
a wearable sound capturing device, comprising:
a data collection device that comprises at least one microphone configured for capturing sound data adjacent a user in at least a substantially continuous manner;
and
communication hardware for communicating the captured sound data to the at least one processor, wherein:
the system is configured for:
storing the captured sound data in memory;
converting one or more segments of captured sound data to one or more segments of captured textual data;
indexing data selected from a group consisting of:
the one or more segments of captured sound data, and
the one or more segments of captured textual data;
facilitating retrieval by the user of at least a portion of the indexed data, wherein facilitating retrieval comprises:
scanning the indexed data to identify one or more key phrases comprising one or more particular words;
in response to identifying the one or more key phrases, retrieving one or more segments of indexed data that was communicated by the user at least about contemporaneously with the one or more key phrases;
after retrieving the one or more segments of indexed data, saving the one or more segments of indexed data to memory in association with one or more categories that is associated with the one or more key phrases;
and
facilitating access, by the user, to the indexed data;
processing the indexed data to determine, based at least in part on the one or more segments of captured sound data and the one or more segments of captured textual data, that one or more pre-determined life events have occurred and an age of an individual at which each of the respective one or more pre-determined life events occurred;
and
displaying, to the user, a respective indication of each particular one of the one or more pre-determined life events and a respective age of the individual at which the particular one of the one or more pre-determined life events occurred.

18 more elements

A computer system for generating a life arc for a particular individual, the system comprising:

at least one computer processor;
and
a wearable sound capturing device, comprising:
a data collection device that comprises at least one microphone configured for capturing sound data adjacent a user in at least a substantially continuous manner, and at least one sensor configured for capturing user habit data identifying one or more routine acts performed by the user;
and
communication hardware for communicating the captured sound data to the at least one processor, wherein:
the system is configured for:
storing the captured sound data in memory;
converting one or more segments of captured sound data to one or more segments of captured textual data;
processing the one or more segments of captured sound data and the one or more segments of captured textual data to determine:
(1) that one or more pre-determined life events have occurred;
and (2) a time period of the user's life when each of the respective one or more pre-determined life events occurred;
receiving life event data input by the user regarding:
(1) one or more pre-determined life events that have occurred in the user's life;
(2) a time period of the user's life when each of the respective one or more pre-determined life events occurred;
determining the user habit data defining one or more habits of the user, wherein the one or more habits comprise at least one habit selected from a group consisting of:
an average number of hours the user sleeps;
an average number of hours the user works;
an average number of times the user attends a particular type of event per month;
and
a time when the user gets out of bed;
indexing data that includes data selected from a group consisting of:
the one or more segments of captured sound data,
the one or more segments of captured textual data,
the life event data provided by the user, and
the user habit data;
facilitating retrieval by the user of at least a portion of the indexed data;
accessing one or more databases that include information of a third party, wherein the one or more databases include (1) one or more pre-determined life events that have occurred in the third party's life;
(2) a time period of the third party's life when each of the respective one or more pre-determined life events occurred;
and (3) third party habit data that identifies one or more routine acts performed by the user;
and
generating a life arc display to be provided on one or more computer user interfaces, the life arc display including a display comparison of:
(1) each particular one of the pre-determined life events and a respective time period of the user's life and a third party's life when each of the particular pre-determined life events occurred for the user and the third party;
and (2) the user habit data and the third-party habit data.
