Abstract
A system and apparatus is disclosed for indicating a window of fertility based on the fertility awareness method (FAM).
Claims17
An apparatus comprising:
- a disc-shaped housing having a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface configured to fit into a disc-shaped recess of a charging dock;
- an ambient light indicator system disposed within the housing and including one or more ambient light sources for projecting ambient light through the top surface of the housing while the apparatus is docked in the charging dock;
- a temperature sensor disposed on the bottom surface, the temperature sensor configured to capture a basal body temperature reading from a forehead of a user;
- a charge circuit and one or more charge electrodes or contacts configured to charge the apparatus when the apparatus is docked in the recess of the charging dock;
- an output port configured to transfer data to the charging dock when the apparatus is docked;
- a printed circuit board disposed within the housing and including:
- one or more processors coupled to the temperature sensor;
- memory storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining, by the one or more processors, the user's basal body temperature reading from the temperature sensor;
- storing, by the one or more processors, the user's basal body temperature reading in the memory;
- determining, by the one or more processors, that the apparatus is docked in the docking station;
- and
- transferring, by the one or more processors, the basal body temperature reading from the memory to the output port.

A system comprising:
- a disc-shaped fertility awareness (FA) apparatus including:
- a disc-shaped housing having a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface configured to fit into a disc-shaped recess of a charging dock;
- an ambient light indicator system disposed within the housing and including one or more ambient light sources for projecting ambient light through the top surface of the housing while the apparatus is docked in the charging dock;
- a temperature sensor disposed on the bottom surface, the temperature sensor configured to capture a basal body temperature reading from a forehead of a user;
- a charge circuit and one or more charge electrodes or contacts configured to charge the apparatus when the apparatus is docked in the recess of the charging dock;
- an output port configured to transfer data to the charging dock when the apparatus is docked;
- a printed circuit board disposed within the housing and including:
- one or more processors coupled to the temperature sensor;
- memory storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining, by the one or more processors, the user's basal body temperature reading from the temperature sensor;
- storing, by the one or more processors, the user's basal body temperature reading in the memory;
- determining, by the one or more processors, that the apparatus is docked in the docking station;
- and
- transferring, by the one or more processors, the basal body temperature reading from the memory to the output port;
- and
- a charging dock for the FA apparatus including:
- a housing having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface having a disc-shaped recess for receiving the FA apparatus;
- an ambient light indicator system disposed within the housing and including one or more ambient light sources for projecting ambient light through the top surface of the housing while the apparatus is docked in a charging dock;
- a printed circuit board disposed within the housing and including:
- one or more processors coupled to the ambient light indicator system;
- memory storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining, by the one or more processors, one or more basal body temperature readings from an output port of the FA apparatus and user input data from memory;
- determining, by the one or more processors, fertility awareness information from the basal body temperature readings and the user input data;
- responsive to the determining, commanding, by the one or more processors, the ambient light indicator system to activate or deactivate one or more ambient light sources in accordance with the fertility awareness information to indicate a fertility status.
21 more elements
A method comprising:
- obtaining, by a charging dock, basal body temperature readings captured from a forehead of a user from a disc-shaped fertility awareness (FA) apparatus placed in a disc-shaped recess of the charging dock;
- determining, by one or more processors of a charging dock, a fertility status of the user based on the basal body temperature readings and user input data;
- selecting, by the one or more processors and based on the determined fertility status, one or more ambient light colors;
- and
- activating, one or more ambient light sources having the selected one or more ambient light colors, wherein the ambient light colors are projected through a top surface of a housing of the FA apparatus while the FA apparatus is docked in the charging dock.
