Abstract:
A simple affirmative response operating system is disclosed for selecting a data item from a list of options using a unique affirmative action. Text-based labels in a listing of content are converted to speech using an embedded text-to-speech engine and an audio output of a first converted label is provided. A listening state is entered into for a predefined pause time to await receipt of the simple affirmative action. If the simple affirmative action is performed during the predefined pause time, an associated content item is selected for output. If the simple affirmative action is not performed during the predefined pause time, an audio output of a next converted label in the list is provided. This protocol may be used to control a variety of computing devices safely and efficiently while a user is distracted or disabled from using traditional input methods.

Claim (Index 10):
A computer-implemented method for interaction between a human and a computing device, comprising:\n storing an identification of a single, unique, system-wide, and context-independent affirmative action for use in modifying system parameters, selecting options, and selecting items of content; storing a sequence of system parameters, and a sequence of system parameter identifiers, wherein each identifier from the sequence of system parameter identifiers is associated with a system parameter from the sequence of system parameters; storing a sequence of options, wherein each option is part of a list of possible commands or navigation options, and a sequence of option identifiers, wherein each identifier from the sequence of option identifiers is associated with an option from the sequence of options; storing a sequence of items of content and a sequence of identifiers of items of content, wherein each identifier of the sequence of identifiers of items of content is associated with an item of content from the sequence of items of content, and wherein each item of content comprises a webpage, a book, an article, a text-based communication, an event stored in a calendar system, an audio file, or a video file, and is not an option from the sequence of options or a system parameter from the sequence of system parameters; entering a first list-pause cycle comprising:\n a list-pause that comprises:\n outputting, via the computing device, an identifier from the sequence of identifiers of items of content; and \n pausing a predetermined length of time; \n \n repeating the list-pause, each repetition of the list-pause outputting a different next identifier from the sequence of identifiers of items of content, until determining the affirmative action has been performed during the pause of a most recent list-pause; and\n responsive to determining the affirmative action has been performed during the pause of the most recent list-pause, outputting, via the computing device, the item of content from the sequence of items of content associated with the identifier output during that most recent list-pause; \n \n entering a second list-pause cycle comprising:\n a list-pause comprising:\n outputting, via the sensory presentation device, an identifier from the sequence of option identifiers; and \n pausing a predetermined length of time; \n \n repeating the list-pause, each repetition of the list-pause outputting a different next identifier from the sequence of option identifiers, until determining that the single unique affirmative action has been performed during the pause of a most recent list-pause; and \n responsive to determining that the affirmative action has been performed during the pause of the most recent list-pause, either navigating to an application mode or performing a command based on the option from the sequence of options associated with the identifier output during that list-pause; and \n \n entering a third list-pause cycle comprising:\n a list-pause comprising:\n outputting, via the sensory presentation device, an identifier from the sequence of system parameter identifiers; and \n pausing a predetermined length of time; \n \n repeating the list-pause, each repetition of the list-pause outputting a different next identifier from the sequence of system parameter identifiers, until determining that the single unique affirmative action has been performed during the pause of a most recent list-pause; and \n responsive to determining that the affirmative action has been performed during the pause of the most recent list-pause, modifying the system parameter associated with the identifier output during that list-pause.
