Patent ID: 7271825

Claim:
A communication device comprising: an input/output interface that receives a first voice signal and first body state measurements from a first conversant using the communication device; an encoder circuit that converts the first voice signal and the first body state measurements received by the input/output interface into first voice data and first body state data; a decoder circuit that converts second voice data and second body state data into a second voice signal and second body state measurements, wherein the second voice data and the second body state data are received by the communication device from a second communication device used by a second conversant; and a body state maintenance circuit to generate a body state model according to a baseline computational model and the second body state measurements, wherein the body state model represents a body position of the second conversant, wherein the input/output interface audibly provides the second voice signal to the first conversant and visually provides a visual representation of the body state model to the first conversant via a visual display.
