Abstract
An apparatus and method, having one or more sensors and actuators, which monitor and control living organisms or machinery, a communication link from the sensor and actuators to an Internet access node, a data base and application software which converts sensor data, into anthropomorphic content which can be delivered to social networking platforms, such that the data and control functions can be presented to a human as a virtual living entity.
Claims14
An apparatus for providing feedback to a user in an anthropomorphic presentation, the apparatus comprising:
- a. at least one sensor,
- b. at least one computer node, having Internet access capability,
- c. at least one communication link connecting the at least one computer node to the at least one sensor,
- d. at least one computer server node, also linked to the Internet, which receives forwarded sensor data, and
- e. at least one software application hosted by the server node, wherein the at least one software program interprets data into anthropomorphic content, translating the underlying status of the sensors as human emotions, thoughts, feelings and sensations of a virtual intelligent entity such that a human can understand the status of the underlying sensors and periodically delivers said anthropomorphic content with the use of a scheduler to external social networking platforms presenting the data as a virtual human, pet or other virtual intelligent entity.
A method for providing feedback to a user in an anthropomorphic presentation, the apparatus comprising:
- a. a step of connecting sensors to an object,
- b. a step of transmitting sensor data to an Internet access point through a communication link,
- c. a step of transmitting data from the Internet access point to at least one server computer which hosts server application software,
- d. a step of connecting to at least one social networking platform periodically with the use of a scheduler;
- and,
- e. a step of delivering the anthropomorphic content to the at least one social networking platform;
- wherein the at least one software program interprets data into anthropomorphic content, translating the underlying status of the sensors as human emotions, thoughts, feelings and sensations of a virtual intelligent entity such that a human can understand the status of the underlying sensors and periodically delivers said anthropomorphic content with the use of a scheduler to external social networking platforms presenting the data as a virtual intelligent entity.
