Method of managing and preventing the onset of computer and sedentary work related fatigue
First Claim
1. A microprocessor implemented method of managing and preventing the onset of computer and sedentary work related fatigue, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a user;
determining when said user begins fatigue inducing activities to provide a start time;
requiring an anti-fatigue break for a predetermined anti-fatigue time period after said start time;
disengaging said user through a staged process sequence;
preventing said user from being able to perform said fatigue inducing activities for a predetermined anti-fatigue time period.

Abstract
A microprocessor implemented method of managing and preventing the onset of computer related fatigue, the method comprising the steps of: providing a user; determining when the user begins fatigue inducing activities to provide a start time; requiring an anti-fatigue break for a predetermined anti-fatigue time period after the start time; disengaging the user through a staged process sequence; and preventing the user from being able to perform the fatigue inducing activities for a predetermined anti-fatigue time period.

30. A microprocessor implemented method of managing and preventing the onset of computer and sedentary work related fatigue, said method comprising the steps of:
-
providing a user;
determining the posture of the user;
providing a predetermined anti-fatigue time period according to said posture;
determining when said user begins fatigue inducing activities to provide a start time;
requiring an anti-fatigue break for said predetermined anti-fatigue time period after said start time;
disengaging said user through a three staged process sequence of stage one, stage two and stage three, wherein said stage one is “
Cognitive De-coupling”
from the work task and is followed by said stage two, wherein stage two consisting of cognitive assignment to a counter fatigue activity and stage three consisting of engaging in cognitive relief for a period of relaxation that allows for the counter fatigue measures to maximize their impact;
preventing said user from being able to perform said fatigue inducing activities for a predetermined anti-fatigue time period; and
providing aromatherapy during said predetermined anti-fatigue time period; and
providing at least one non task related stimulus during said predetermined anti-fatigue time period. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49)
