GUIDING A CHILD TO PERFORM TASKS

摘要

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.

主权项

1. A guidance device, comprising:
a display, wherein the display shows to a user a figure with multiple parts; circuitry disposed in the guidance device, the circuitry being operable to progress through multiple defined time segments of a user task; an input mechanism coupled to the circuitry, wherein the input mechanism allows selection of a mode of operating the guidance 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 guidance in performance of the user task by a particular one of the plurality of users using the corresponding personalized user interface; and wherein during each one of the multiple defined time segments, the circuitry causes the guidance device to:
indicate one or more of the multiple parts of the figure that are associated with the one of the multiple defined time segments and with a sub-task that the user should perform; andindicate completion progress of one or both of: the one of the multiple defined time segments and the sub-task.
