Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer-readable media for providing a user interface for communicating via an electronic device for use in an oral cavity of an animal and resistant to damage from bodily fluids and pressure. The device may include: a power device, which can power the apparatus, a memory storage device, which can store and recall data; a communications subsystem, which communicates with one or more remote devices; an output device, which creates stimulus directly or indirectly observable in the mouth environment; an input device, which can create signals according to activity in the mouth environment and can send them to the memory storage device and/or processor; and a processor coupled to the memory storage device, the communication subsystem, the output device and the input device. |

1. A method for providing a user interface, comprising:
communicating, using an output device, a physical user interface to an animal inside an oral cavity of the animal by applying an electrical stimulus to a tongue or a vibratory stimulus to an oral cavity of the animal in the oral cavity of the animal; sensing, using an input device, an input for the physical user interface from the oral cavity of the animal; processing, using a processing entity, the sensed input based on a current mode of operation from a plurality of mode of operations; storing and retrieving data, using a memory storage device; communicating, using a communication subsystem, wirelessly with a remote device placed outside the oral cavity of the animal; powering, using a power device, the input device, the processing entity, the memory storage device, and the communication subsystem;
wherein a housing resistant to damage from bodily fluids and pressure comprises the input device, the processing entity, the output device, the memory storage device, the communication subsystem, and the power device. |
