Personal mnemonic generator

Abstract

An apparatus and method of generating acrostic mnemonic devices from finite data sets of customized areas of specific interest provided by the user to assist in improving the memory of the user. The apparatus provides a personalized mnemonic generating program embodied on a computer-readable medium for improving a users' memory of finite data sets based on the user's customized areas of interest to generate easy “to-be-remembered” acrostic mnemonic devices in the form of meaningful grammatically correct sentences. The method generates acrostic mnemonic devices from finite data sets whereby customized areas of specific interest are provided by the user to assist in improving the memory of the user which is executed by a computing device.

1 - 31 . (canceled)  
   
   
       32 . A method of generating acrostic mnemonic tool for improving the memory of users, comprising the steps of: 
 (a) inputting a list of new items (ML) to be remembered by the user to create a new acrostic mnemonic device into the computer, which includes the step of selecting an area of interest;    (b) generating a finalized acrostic mnemonic sentence created by the user from words in the selected area of interest, the finalized acrostic mnemonic sentence being an easy to-be remembered sentence;    (c) testing the user to recall said acrostic mnemonic sentence and providing feedback from said mnemonic memorization tool function permitting the user to practice said acrostic mnemonic sentence and said memory list (ML); and    (d) facilitating, reinforcing, and recalling of said acrostic mnemonic sentence and said memory list (ML).    
   
   
       33 . The method of  claim 32 , wherein step (a) further includes the steps of: 
 selecting a preferred language of the user; and    inputting the list of the new items (ML) the user chooses to remember.    
   
   
       34 . The method of  claim 32 , wherein the area of interest is selected from one of: an existing interest area database (IAD), or a new customized and personalized interest area database (CIAD), in a computer.  
   
   
       35 . The method of  claim 32 , further comprising the steps of: 
 (e) saving said finalized acrostic mnemonic sentence as a personalized mnemonic sentence, said associated item list (ML), and a users test history in the computer; and    (f) using steps (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) and the personalized mnemonic sentence for improving the memory of the user as a memory education tool for the users that include students, and workers.    
   
   
       36 . An acrostic mnemonic system for improving memory of a user using customized areas of interest of the user, for use as a memory education tool for student discipline learning and for worker skill training, comprising: 
 a list of new items (ML) to be remembered;    a selected area of interest; and    a generator for generating an easy to remember sentence formed from the list of new items (ML) to be remembered and the selected area of interest.    
   
   
       37 . The system of  claim 36 , wherein the selected area of interest includes: an area of interest from one of: an existing interest area database (IAD), or a new customized and personalized interest area database (CIAD), in a computer.  
   
   
       38 . The system of  claim 36 , further comprising: 
 a feedback loop for testing the user to recall said easy to remember sentence and for providing feedback from said mnemonic memorization tool function permitting the user to practice said finalized acrostic mnemonic device and said memory list (ML).    
   
   
       48 . A method of generating acrostic mnemonic sentences using customized areas of specific interest, as a memory education tool for student discipline learning and for worker skills training, comprising the steps of: 
 (a) inputting a list of new items (ML) to be remembered to create a new acrostic mnemonic sentence by; 
 (i) inputting the list of the new items (ML) the user chooses to remember;  
 (ii) selecting an area of interest from: an existing interest area (IA), or a new customized and personalized interest area (CIA); and  
   (b) generating an easy to be remembered sentence created by the user from words in one of said (IA) or said (CIA), using words from at least one multi-lingual word database.    
   
   
       49 . The method of  claim 48 , further comprising the steps of: 
 (c) testing the user to recall said easy to be remembered sentence;    (d) providing feedback to permit the user to practice said easy to be remembered sentence and said memory list (ML); and    (e) saving said easy to be remembered sentence, as a personalized mnemonic sentence, wherein the easy to be remembered sentence is useful for a student learning a discipline, or the user being a worker needing training for a skill.
