Dynamic and variable controlled information system and methods for monitoring and adjusting behavior

A method for providing respiratory regulation assistance through a respiratory regulation toy apparatus including a processor that provides control signals to control rotational speed of a cam that connects to actuators that each repeatedly move in a respective outward and inward direction and rate relative to the apparatus based on a first rotational direction of the cam, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the processor, a signal reflecting a breathing rate of an individual proximate to the respiratory regulation toy apparatus;
• controlling, by the processor, movement of the actuators to simulate the breathing rate by the respiratory regulation toy apparatus, the actuators including at least a first actuator and a second actuator, the cam including a continuous oval slot that receives followers associated with the first and second actuators such that movement of the first and second actuators are controlled by rotational movement of the oval slot in the cam;
• moving the first actuator in a linear direction relative to a torso of the respiratory regulation toy apparatus based on movement of the cam in the first rotational direction, and at the same time, moving the second actuator in a linear direction opposite to the first actuator linear direction relative to the torso based on the movement of the cam in the first rotational direction;
• and
• dynamically reducing the rate of the inward and outward directional movement of the actuators to simulate a dynamic and controlled reduction in the breathing rate of the respiratory regulation toy apparatus,
• wherein the respiratory regulation toy apparatus operates to help the individual reduce the individual's breathing rate by providing dynamically controlled physical movements of the torso of the respiratory regulation toy apparatus, the physical movements caused by the dynamic movements of the actuators controlled by the cam rotating in the first rotational direction in such a manner that simulates a breathing pattern of the respiratory regulation toy apparatus.
