The present disclosure describes one or more systems, methods, routines and/or techniques for guiding a child (or other person) to perform tasks. The present disclosure may help children (or other people) perform various tasks (e.g., taking a shower) without a parent having to be present with the child during each task. One or more embodiments may describe a guidance device comprising a display and circuitry and/or computer code disposed in the guidance device. The display may show a figure with multiple parts. The guidance device may be operable to progress through multiple defined time segments. During each one of the multiple defined time segments, the guidance device may indicate one or more of the multiple parts of the figure that are associated with a sub-task that the user should perform. The guidance device may indicate completion progress of the time segment and the sub-task.
A guidance device, comprising:
A method comprising, in a guidance device composed of a display and circuitry coupled to the display:
A portable computing device, comprising a display and circuitry coupled to the display, wherein the circuitry is operable to receive user input that selects a mode of operating the portable computing device, wherein operation in a first mode enables creation of a corresponding personalized user interface for each of a plurality of users, and wherein operation in a second mode enables the portable computing device to instruct a user how to perform a user task by producing indications, for multiple sub-tasks included in the task, body parts and actions that the user should take with regard to the body parts.
