Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are taught that provide assistance to a user through an eyewear device. Data is received from a first sensor. The first sensor is incorporated into an eyewear device. The first sensor measures a parameter related to the user. A state of the user is analyzed using the data. Assistance is provided to the user. The assistance is in a form of feedback, and the feedback is related to the state of the user. The assistance can also be related to a context of the user and a state of the user. The context of the user is determined from the data.

Claims (28)

1. A method to provide assistance to a user through an eyewear device, comprising;

receiving first data from a first sensor, the first sensor is incorporated into the eyewear device, the first sensor measures a parameter related to the user;

analyzing a state of the user, wherein the analyzing uses the first data and providing assistance to the user, the assistance is in a form of feedback, and the feedback is related to the state, wherein the first data is a speech signal obtained from the user, the analyzing further comprising:

comparing an error rate of a voice recognition process applied to the first data with an historical error rate for the user's speech signals; and

assigning the state to the user based on the comparing.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a negative condition is associated with the state.

3. The method of clam 2 , wherein the feedback is configured to assist the user to correct the negative condition.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the feedback is an audio signal transmitted from a speaker in a temple of the eyewear device.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the feedback is generated externally from the eyewear device.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the feedback is communicated from a person.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a positive condition is associated with the state.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the feedback is designed to assist the user by encouraging the positive condition.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the feedback is an audio signal transmitted from a speaker in the temple of the eyewear device.

10. The method of claim 3 wherein the method further comprising:

determining a context of the user, wherein the determining uses the first data during the determining and the feedback is related to the state and the context.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein a negative condition is associated with the state.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the feedback is configured to assist the user to correct the negative condition.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the feedback is an audio signal transmitted from a speaker in a temple of the eyewear device.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the feedback is generated externally from the eyewear device.

15. The method of claret 14 , wherein the feedback is communicated from a person.

16. The ethod of claim 10 , wherein a positivepositivecondition is associated with the state.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the feedback is designed to assist the user by encouraging the positive condition.

18. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

receiving second data from a second sensor, the second sensor is an external sensor and the analyzing uses both the first data and the second data.

19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the assigning assigns a negative state to the user if the error rate deviates fror the historical error rate by a first preset amount, the method further comprising:

presenting a question to the user with a speaker configured into the eyeweardevice the error rate deviates by at least the preset amount;

receiving an answer to the question from the user; and

analyzing the answer, wherein based on the analyzing if he answer is incorrect then assistance for the user initiated.
