Voice responsive fluid delivery, controlling and monitoring system and method

Abstract

A system and methodology of delivery fluids and monitoring their status which is voice actuated. This system has application where a hands-free environment is preferred. Voice commands are given by the user via a Bluetooth® headset and received typically by the user's Smartphone. Voice recognition circuitry is programmed to recognize the simple commands and through complementing electronics, and electro-mechanical and mechanical elements, delivery at corresponding flow rates is accomplished. A further feature allows for respective voice commands to initiate a monitoring function where the status of any particular characteristic of the fluid can be relayed back to the user via the headset.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A voice responsive fluid delivery and monitoring system comprising:
 (a) a storage means having a quantity of fluid stored therein;   (b) means for releasing the fluid from said storage means;   (c) means for delivering any fluid released from said storage means by said means for releasing, to a portion of the body of a person;   (d) means for monitoring the status of at least a first characteristic of the fluid stored in the storage means;   (e) a voice responsive means;   (f) a first interconnect means disposed between said voice responsive means and said means for releasing the fluid;   (g) a second interconnect means disposed between said voice responsive means and said means for monitoring the status of at least a first characteristic of the stored fluid;   (h) a third interconnect means disposed between said voice responsive means and the mouth area of a user of said system whereby the transmission of voice commands from the user to said voice responsive means is facilitated;
 said voice responsive means adapted to respond to a first set of voice commands to produce a corresponding first set of electrical signals, said first set of electrical signals supplied via said first interconnect means to said means for releasing the fluid, said means for releasing the fluid adapted to respond to respective ones of said first set of electrical signals in a corresponding respective way whereby the flow of fluid through said means for delivery is controlled at respective predetermined rates; 
 said voice responsive means adapted to respond to a second set of voice commands to produce a corresponding second set of electrical signals, said second set of electrical signals supplied via said second interconnect means to said means for monitoring the status of at least a first characteristic of the stored fluid, said means for monitoring the status of at least a first characteristic of the stored fluid adapted to respond to respective ones of said second set of electrical signals in a corresponding respective way whereby a respective one of a third set of electrical signals evidencing the status of said at least first characteristic is generated by said means for monitoring, said respective one of said third set of electrical signals communicated to said voice responsive means; 
 said voice responsive means adapted to generate a further respective signal for said respective one of said third set of electrical signals; and, 
   (i) a fourth interconnect means disposed between a sensory organ of the user and said voice responsive means, whereby said further respective signal for said respective one of said third set of electrical signals is transmitted to an area in near proximity to the sensory organ, whereat said further respective signal is detectable by said sensory organ, said fourth interconnect means including means to adapt said further respective signal, if necessary, so that the further respective signal has an associated sensory form so as to be detectable by the sensory organ.
