1. A system, comprising:
- an electronic visual display;
an orientation sensor;
a processor, wherein the processor is communicatively coupled to the electronic visual display and the orientation sensor; and
a memory device storing processor-executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to;
receive signals indicative of an angle of inclination of the system from the orientation sensor,compare the angle of inclination of the system with a predetermined angular range, wherein the predetermined angular range corresponds to a less desirable cervical spinal posture of a user of the system,determine the user has the less desirable cervical spinal posture when the angle of inclination of the system is within the predetermined angular range, andalter a display of visual information by the electronic visual display in real time when the user of the system has the incorrect cervical spinal posture.

Abstract
Altering a display of visual information in real time on an electronic visual display of a mobile computing system to encourage desirable behavior, such as spinal posture. In an embodiment, a system determines an angle of inclination of a mobile computing system, which is indicative of a spinal posture of a user of the system. When the user'"'"'s spinal posture is within an angular range that corresponds to a less desirable spinal posture, the system progressively alters a display of visual information by an electronic visual display of the system to encourage the user toward a more desirable spinal posture.

19. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a processor of a mobile computing device executing processor-executable instructions therefor, signals indicative of an angle of inclination of the mobile computing device from an orientation sensor thereof; comparing, by the processor executing processor-executable instructions therefor, the angle of inclination of the mobile computing device with a predetermined angular range, the predetermined angular range corresponding to a less desirable cervical spinal posture of a user of the mobile computing device; determining, by the processor executing processor-executable instructions therefor, the user has the less desirable cervical spinal posture when the angle of inclination of the mobile computing device is within the predetermined angular range; and altering, by the processor executing processor-executable instructions therefor, a display of visual information on an electronic visual display of the mobile computing device in real time when the user has the less desirable cervical spinal posture.

20. A computer readable storage device having processor readable instructions stored thereon including instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement a method of altering a display of visual information on an electronic visual display, comprising:
-
receiving signals indicative of an angle of inclination of a mobile computing device from an orientation sensor thereof; comparing the angle of inclination of the mobile computing device with a predetermined angular range, the predetermined angular range corresponding to a less desirable cervical spinal posture of a user of the mobile computing device; determining the user has the less desirable cervical spinal posture when the angle of inclination of the mobile computing device is within the predetermined angular range; and altering a display of visual information on an electronic visual display of the mobile computing device in real time when the user has the less desirable cervical spinal posture.
