System and/or method for audibly prompting a patient with a motion device

Abstract

A system for controlling a motion device. A motion control system comprises a motion control device, and a first user is associated with the motion control system. An output system is arranged to generate motion signals that may be perceived by the first user. A motion server system comprises a plurality of motion scripts associated with messages to be transmitted to the first user and a motion program web page. A processing system comprises a browser program compatible with the motion program web page. A communications system transfers data between the various systems. A second user controls the server system to form a motion message corresponding to a desired motion signal based on the at least one motion script stored by the server system. The motion control system causes the output system to generate the desired motion signal based on the motion message.

1 . A system comprising:
 a server configured to generate a script having one or more commands;   a remote motion device configured to (i) receive said script, (ii) initiate at least one of a plurality of tasks including a medical task involving motion in response to said script, and (iii) synthesize one or more audible words in response to said commands stored in said script;   a communications network configured to transmit said script from said server to said remote motion device; and   a user interface configured to (i) receive information from a user used to generate said script and (ii) graphically display data received from said remote motion device after execution of said script.   
   
   
       2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said remote motion device comprises a speaker configured to audibly prompt a patient in response to said commands.

       4 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said remote motion device comprises a memory configured to store said one or more commands. 
   
   
       5 . The system according to  claim 4 , wherein said memory is further configured to store audio sounds for speech synthesis. 
   
   
       6 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said remote motion device includes built in speech recognition. 
   
   
       7 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said commands comprise speech commands configured to synthesize said audible words. 
   
   
       8 . The system according to  claim 7 , wherein said audible words comprise phrases or statements. 
   
   
       9 . The system according to  claim 8 , wherein said commands further comprise delay commands. 
   
   
       10 . The system according to  claim 9 , wherein said delay commands are configured to instruct said remote motion device to pause for one or more seconds between said statements. 
   
   
       11 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said user includes a health care provider. 
   
   
       12 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said user includes a patient. 
   
   
       13 . The system according to  claim 12 , wherein said user includes a parent of said patient. 
   
   
       14 . A remote motion device comprising:
 a microphone configured to receive one or more audio signals;   a processor configured to (i) receive one or more scripts from a server, (ii) perform speech recognition of said one or more audio signals from said microphone, (iii) synthesize one or more audible words in response to said one or more scripts, and (iv) generate a control signal in response to said one or more audio signals; and   a motion system configured to (i) receive said control signal and (ii) initiate a medical task involving motion in response to said control signal.   
   
   
       15 . The remote motion device according to  claim 14 , further comprising a speaker configured to audibly prompt a patient in response to said scripts. 
   
   
       16 . The remote motion device according to  claim 15 , wherein said speaker is further configured to audibly prompt said patient in response to said microphone receiving said one or more audio signals. 
   
   
       17 . The remote motion device according to  claim 14 , wherein said script comprises one or more commands. 
   
   
       18 . The remote motion device according to  claim 17 , wherein said one or more commands comprises speech commands configured to synthesize said audible words. 
   
   
       19 . The remote motion device according to  claim 18 , wherein said audible words comprises phrases or statements. 
   
   
       20 . The remote motion device according to  claim 18 , wherein said one or more commands further comprises delay commands. 
   
   
       21 . The remote motion device according to  claim 20 , wherein said delay commands are configured to instruct said processor to pause for one or more seconds between statements. 
   
   
       22 . The remote motion device according to  claim 14 , further comprising:
 a memory configured to store said one or more scripts.   
   
   
       23 . The remote motion device according to  claim 22 , wherein said memory is further configured to store audio sounds for speech synthesis. 
   
   
       24 . The remote motion device according to  claim 16 , wherein said audio signals are generated by said patient. 
   
   
       25 . The remote motion device according to  claim 24 , wherein said patient generates said audio signals in response to said audible words.
