Method and Assembly for Warning Against Hand to Face Contacts

An assembly for warning of hand to face contacts, said assembly comprising:

• (a) a pair of radio frequency identification system readers;
• (b) a pair of cases supporting or containing the radio frequency identification system readers, each case being configured as a ring or a bracelet;
• (c) a wearable item selected from a group consisting of necklace segments, necklace pendants, brooches, earrings, pins, scarves, headbands, hats, clasps, hair ornaments, and tie slides;
• and
• (d) a radio frequency identification system data signaling tag, said tag being fixedly attached to the wearable item.

A method for warning of a contact by a person's hand with the person's face, said method comprising steps of:

• (a) providing a radio frequency identification system reader which is adapted for transmitting an interrogator radio signal, which is further adapted for receiving a RFID radio signal reply, and which is adapted for actuating an auditory, vibrating, or visual output upon the receipt of the radio signal reply;
• (b) enclosing the radio frequency identification system reader within a case which is configured as a wearable item selected from the group consisting of necklace segments, necklace pendants, brooches, pins, hair ornaments, earrings, hats, clasps, and tie slides;
• (c) actuating the radio frequency identification system reader and donning the selected wearable item so that the radio frequency identification system reader is in close proximity with the person's face;
• (d) providing a first radio frequency identification system data signaling tag;
• (e) providing a first jewelry item selected from the group consisting of bracelets, wristwatches, and rings, and fixedly attaching the first radio frequency first identification system data signaling tag to said jewelry item;
• (f) donning the first jewelry item upon the person's wrist or hand;
• (g) moving the wrist or hand, the first jewelry item and the first radio frequency identification system data signaling tag toward the person's face, such motion carrying said tag through the interrogator radio signal;
• (h) generating a data radio signal in response to said tag's motion through the interrogator radio signal;
• (I) receiving the generated data radio signal at the radio frequency identification system reader;
• and
• (j) actuating said reader's audio, vibratory, or visual output in response to said reader's receipt of the radio data signal.
