Invention - Katy B


OmniGem Timeflow Necklace 
        This necklace contains a camera-like device, including sound recognition/receptors which keeps track of your day and pairs up with your to-do list to analyze how closely you matched your goals/used the time in               your day
 


         It will make a similar pie chart to represent what your day could/will/would look like. It would get people into better habits if they were conscious of this device which is conscious of what they are doing- it would hold people more accountable for their time so that we could realize a little bit more fully our potential as humans. This is also an answer to how distractible people are in this era, this device will help them remain focused! 

Some Addt'l Info

It operates off of a system accessing something similar to the internet- comparing similar patterns in things people are doing (motion, rhythm, sounds, sights) that would be recognized by the program to be able to analyze the data. Based on movement of the device as well as sights and sounds it would be able to know what most activities are. These patterns would be programmed by a team of developing engineers. The footage taken by the camera and recording device is not able to be transmitted. This is a strict concern for privacy and though it is an interactive device it is disabled from sending video or sound to anyone, yet it analyzes it for movement which IS sent into researchers (including the preknown labels for what the activity is)
A component of the device is that you are able to hold down the top and it will record. This is where if it didn’t know what your activity was it would gently vibrate, or chirp (which ever the user prefers), and you would be welcomed to record what your activity was, to be sent to researchers.
The camera in the device, along with the shared technology network would allow the intelligence to discern from social networking sites and academic-based website usage. If you wanted to program it to look for certain things, such as eating of certain foods or drinking alcohol, or other things you are trying to avoid/watch for it can do that. The main function, however, would be to be able to enter activities you would like to do but never thought you had the “time” for- it would show you you DO have the time!
