System for intervening and improving the experience of the journey of an absorbent article change

A system for intervening in an absorbent article change process by a user, the absorbent article change process including an initiation phase, a preparatory phase, a changing phase, and a post-changing phase, the system comprising:

• a memory device configured to store at least one preparatory phase auditory cue acoustic model, the at least one preparatory phase auditory cue acoustic model being representative of an acoustic profile of the preparatory phase;
• an auditory capture mechanism configured to monitor an absorbent article change environment for potential preparatory phase auditory cue sound profiles and to capture potential preparatory phase auditory cue sound profiles;
• and
• a processor in electrical communication with the auditory capture mechanism, the processor being configured to analyze a captured potential preparatory phase cue sound profile in relation to the at least one stored preparatory phase auditory cue acoustic model, the processor further configured to signal a first qualifying match when the captured potential preparatory phase cue sound profile meets the at least one stored preparatory phase auditory cue acoustic model, the processor being further configured to interpret the first qualifying match in view of at least one environmental input;
• wherein the system is configured to selectively generate a first output based on the first qualifying match and the at least one environmental input, the first output being recognizable by the user through visual, audible, or olfactory senses.

A computer program product comprising code embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium and configured to be executed on one or more processors, the computer program product being configured to perform operations of:

• storing an absorbent article acoustic model, the absorbent article acoustic signature model being indicative of a potential change of the absorbent article and being emitted from the absorbent article during use of the absorbent article;
• monitoring an absorbent article change environment for a potential use sound profile;
• capturing the potential use sound profile with an auditory capture mechanism;
• analyzing the captured potential use sound profile in relation to the stored absorbent article acoustic signature model;
• signaling a first qualifying match when the captured potential use sound profile meets the stored absorbent article acoustic signature model;
• interpreting the first qualifying match in view of at least one environmental input, the at least one environmental input being selected from the group consisting of:
• time of day, attitude recognition of a wearer of the absorbent article, and attitude recognition of a user of the absorbent article;
• and
• selectively generating a first output based on the first qualifying match and the at least one environmental input, the first output being recognizable by the user through visual, audible, or olfactory senses.
