Modular wearable device for conveying affective state

A system for conveying affective state information to a user, comprising:

• one or more computing devices, said computing devices being in communication with each other via a computer network whenever there is a plurality of computing devices;
• and
• a computer program stored on the computing device having program modules executable by said computing devices, said computing devices being directed by the program modules of the computer program to,
• receive quantified self data about the user from another computing device located in the vicinity of the user,
• determine a current affective state of the user from said quantified self data,
• generate actuation instructions specifying a set of actuations which distinctly conveys said current affective state to the user, and
• transmit said actuation instructions to said other computing device.

A computer-implemented process for conveying affective state information to a user, the process comprising the actions of:

• using one or more computing devices to perform the following process actions, the computing devices being in communication with each other via a computer network whenever a plurality of computing devices is used:
• receiving quantified self data about the user from another computing device located in the vicinity of the user,
• determining a current affective state of the user from said quantified self data,
• generating actuation instructions specifying a set of actuations which distinctly conveys said current affective state to the user, and
• transmitting said actuation instructions to said other computing device.

A system for conveying affective state information, comprising:

• a computing device;
• and
• a computer program stored on the computing device having a plurality of sub-programs executable by said computing device, wherein the sub-programs configure said computing device to,
• receive quantified self data about a user from one or more sensors,
• determine a current affective state of the user from said quantified self data,
• generate affective state information which conveys said current affective state to the user, and
• output said affective state information.

A system for conveying affective state information, comprising:

• an affective state information conveyor comprising one or more computing devices, said computing devices being in communication with each other via a computer network whenever there is a plurality of computing devices, and a computer program stored on the one or more computing devices having a plurality of sub-programs executable by said computing devices, wherein the sub-programs configure said computing devices to,
• receive quantified self data about a user from another computing device located in the vicinity of the user,
• determine a current affective state of the user from said quantified self data,
• generate affective state information which conveys said current affective state to the user, and
• output said affective state information.
