TalkSense

New idea:

We would like to write an application that will help Alzheimer patients or other people with memory problems. We plan to have a program running 24/7 that would record clips when human voices are detected. These clips will then be uploaded to a server which will be stamped with a time and location. We also want to utilize the Bluetooth in the phone to "figure out" who you are having a conversation with. This may require the user to choose the person they are conversing with from a list of Bluetooth devices during the first time a Bluetooth is sensed. The phone will store this knowledge for future uses so it will be a one time entry for the user. This will enable a person to go back and search audio clips for conversations with specific people.

Summary

Current summary of Life Logger Storification:

We are planning on giving people a way to look back and see what a typical day in their lives looks like. This is useful for remembering past events that occurred without having to write anything down. The cell phone will be hung around a person's neck and will take constant pictures throughout a day. We will then look at a few different aspects to classify an event as "interesting" as we would not want to display every picture taken during the day. We will look at both location and time to see where the user spends most of his/her time and include a picture from those places. Additionally, we will do some image processing to try to reduce the number of duplicate pictures shown. We would also like to label certain dynamic events, such as a car crash that a user may focus on, as "interesting". Last, we will allow a person to customize what they believe is "interesting" in order to tailor the logs to the individual.

Next step: Write a 2 page proposal by Monday.
