Abstract

The shifting and recharging of an emotional state with word sequencing is disclosed. A selection of a first word sequence set is received from the user. The word sequence set is defined by a mood recharging characteristic value, and includes a plurality of words each with at least one corresponding definition. A first one of the plurality of words in the selected first word sequence set is displayed. Then, a first one of the at least one corresponding definition of the first one of the plurality of words in the first word sequence set is displayed while the first one of the plurality of words remains displayed. The definition remains displayed for a time duration corresponding to a predefined cadence rate value. The user is prompted with a question related to the mood recharging characteristic value and associated with the first word sequence set.

Claims

1. A method for shifting and recharging an emotional state of a user with word sequencing presented on a data processing apparatus with a display and an input, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving, from the user through the input of the data processing apparatus, a selection of a first word sequence set defined by a mood recharging characteristic value, the first word sequence set including a plurality of words each with at least one corresponding definition;

generating on the display with a first predefined typeface a first one of the plurality of words in the selected first word sequence set;

generating on the display with a second predefined typeface, while the first one of the plurality of words remains generated on the display, a first one of the at least one corresponding definition of the first one of the plurality of words in the selected first word sequence set for a time duration corresponding to a predefined cadence rate value; and

prompting the user with a question related to the mood recharging characteristic value and associated with the first word sequence set.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving on the data processing apparatus through the input a user-supplied answer to the question.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein prior to prompting the user with the question, the method includes:

generating on the display with the second predefined typeface, while the first one of the plurality of words remains generated on the display, a second one of the at least one corresponding definition of the first one of the plurality of words in the selected first word sequence set for the time duration.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein prior to prompting the user with the question, the method includes:

clearing the display of the first one of the plurality of words in the selected first word sequence set;

generating on the display with the first predefined typeface a second one of the plurality of words in the selected first word sequence set; and

generating on the display with the second predefined typeface, while the second one of the plurality of words remains generated on the display, a first one of the at least one corresponding definition of the second one of the plurality of words in the selected first word sequence set for the time duration.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein prior to prompting the user with the question, the method includes:

generating on the display with the second predefined typeface, while the second one of the plurality of words remains generated on the display, a second one of the at least one corresponding definition of the second one of the plurality of words in the selected first word sequence set for the time duration.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the time duration is within a range of three to ten seconds.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving through the input a modification to the predetermined cadence rate value; and

updating the time duration according to the modification to the predetermined cadence rate value.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the first predefined typeface has a first size and the second predefined typeface has a second size different from the first size.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the first predefined typeface has a first visual style and the second predefined typeface has a second visual style different from the first visual style.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the first one of the plurality of words in the selected first word sequence set is generated on the display of the data processing apparatus in response to a preset time notification.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the first one of the plurality of words in the selected first word sequence set is generated on the display of the data processing apparatus in response to a geographic notification based upon a location value detected by the data processing apparatus being within a predefined distance of a trigger location.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the first word sequence set is stored on the data processing apparatus.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising:

querying a remote server for updates to the first word sequence set; and

receiving the queried updates to the first word sequence set on the data processing apparatus.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the updates include at least one update definition for a one of the words in the first word sequence set.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

overwriting a selected one of the definitions of the one of the words in the first word sequence set stored on the data processing apparatus with the corresponding received update definition.

16. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

adding the received update definition to the one of the words in the first word sequence set stored on the data processing apparatus.

17. The method of claim 13, wherein the updates include a new word and at least one corresponding new definition therefor.

18. The method of claim 17, further comprising:

adding the received new word and the at least one new definition to the first word sequence set stored on the data processing apparatus.

19. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting to a remote server, a word sequence set purchase request including a payment authorization;

receiving a second word sequence set from the remote server; and

storing the second word sequence on the data processing apparatus.

20. The method of claim 1, wherein the data processing apparatus is a smart phone.

21. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method for shifting and recharging an emotional state of a user with word sequencing presented on a computer with a display and an input, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving, from the user through the input of the computer, a selection of a first word sequence set defined by a mood recharging characteristic value, the first word sequence set including a plurality of words each with at least one corresponding definition;

generating on the display with a first predefined typeface a first one of the plurality of words in the selected first word sequence set;

generating on the display with a second predefined typeface, while the first one of the plurality of words remains generated on the display, a first one of the at least one corresponding definition of the first one of the plurality of words in the selected first word sequence set for a time duration corresponding to a predefined cadence rate value;

prompting the user with a question related to the mood recharging characteristic value and associated with the first word sequence set; and

receiving on the data processing apparatus through the input a user-supplied answer to the question.
