WEARABLE DEVICE FOR SPEECH TRAINING
First Claim
1. A wearable utterance training system, comprising:
- at least one processor and memory that stores a plurality of target utterances; and
a wearable utterance training device, comprising;
a data collection device that comprises at least one microphone configured for capturing sound data; and
communication hardware for communicating the captured sound data to the at least one processor, wherein;
the at least one processor is configured for;
identifying one or more utterances of a user over a period of time;
comparing the one or more utterances of the user identified over the period of time to the plurality of target utterances;
determining that at least a particular one of the one or more utterances of the user over the period of time is one of the plurality of target utterances stored in the processor memory; and
in response to determining that the particular one of the one or more utterances of the user over the period of time is one of the plurality of target utterances stored in the processor memory, automatically providing a responsive effect based on the at least one of the one or more utterances, wherein the responsive effect is selected from a group consisting of;
(1) a positive responsive action configured to incentivize use, by the user, of the particular one of the plurality of target utterances, and (2) a negative responsive action configured to discourage use, by the user, of the particular one of the plurality of target utterances.

Abstract
A wearable utterance training system includes a wearable utterance training device. The system may, for example: (1) receive one or more target utterances from the user; (2) detect a use of one of the one or more target utterances by the user; and (3) in response, provide one or more responsive effects. The one or more responsive effects may include, for example: (1) providing one or more shocks to the user using the wearable utterance training device; (2) initiating a transfer of money between an account associated with the user and a third party account; (3) creating a public disclosure of the utterance (e.g., by posting the disclosure on one or more social media websites) and/or (4) playing a recording of the user'"'"'s use of the target utterance or other sound.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable instructions for:
-
obtaining, by an utterance training system that includes a computing device, one or more target utterances associated with a user, wherein the one or more target utterances are known to the user and the utterance training system includes at least a wearable device at least indirectly attached to the user and a processing device that is associated with the user and is in electronic communication with the wearable device, the wearable device being an electrical device; storing, by the utterance training system, the one or more target utterances associated with the user; monitoring, by the utterance training system that includes a microphone for capturing sound data, the user'"'"'s utterances for a period of time; determining, by the utterance training system, that at least a particular one of the user'"'"'s utterances during the period of time is one of the one or more target utterances; and in response to determining that the particular one of the user'"'"'s utterances during the period of time is one of the one or more target utterances, automatically causing, by the utterance training system, a responsive effect to occur based on one at least one of the user'"'"'s utterances, wherein the responsive effect is selected from a group consisting of;
(1) a positive responsive action configured to incentivize use, by the user, of the particular one of the plurality of target utterances, and (2) a negative responsive action configured to discourage use, by the user, of the particular one of the plurality of target utterances. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer implemented method, comprising:
-
obtaining, by a utterance training system that is a computing device, one or more target utterances associated with a user, wherein the one or more target utterances are known to the user and the utterance training system includes at least a wearable device at least indirectly attached to the user and a processing device that is associated with the user and is in electronic communication with the wearable device, the wearable device being an electrical device; storing, by the utterance training system, the one or more target utterances associated with the user; continuously monitoring, by the utterance training system, the user'"'"'s utterances for a period of time; determining, by the utterance training system, that at least a particular one of the user'"'"'s utterances over the period of time is one of the one or more target utterances; and in response to determining that the particular one of the user'"'"'s utterances over the period of time is one of the one or more target utterances, automatically taking an action that is a negative responsive action configured to discourage use, by the user, of the particular one of the plurality of target utterances, wherein the action is selected from a group consisting of; a. initiating, by the utterance training system, a transfer of money between an account associated with the user and a third party account; b. creating, by the utterance training system, a public disclosure to communicate information indicating that the user uttered one or more of the target utterances; and c. playing, by the utterance training system, a sound. - View Dependent Claims (20)
