Abstract

The Digital Command Prompting Device is an aid is to help all people, especially those who have special needs particularly individuals who have diminished or diminishing function of their brain. The device is predominately mobile but can also be stationary and can be programmed by receiving and selecting pre-set commands to operate and assist a User with their daily living standards or needs. The device also has other various features including an illuminated display panel, a GPS tracking capability, an alarm, an illumination element, solar panel and battery backup components, time and date clocks, is provided water resistance covers and/or material, among other things. The device may be used within the home environment, outdoor environment or a restricted environment, e.g. aged care facility, hospital, pre-school or school.

Claims
