Abstract:
A Multi-sensor System and Method to Deter Obsessive Compulsive Behavior by generating alerts when a user's hands are held close to their head or face. The system includes a sensor and a triggering device that are both worn by the user. The sensor can be configured to detect when the triggering device closes to within some threshold distance. The system includes at least two magnet-sensing sensors, and is capable of being calibrated in order to eliminate interference due to the Earth's magnetic field. The sensor and triggering device may be contained within common personal items, such as jewelry—including rings, bracelets, hair clips, necklaces and the like. The system and method can generate audible and/or visual alerts whenever one or more triggering devices passes closer to the sensor than the threshold distance. Alerts are in a variety of tones, including simulated cellular telephone ring tones. Data for alert events is downloadable from the sensor device for later review.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for providing an alert responsive to the relative proximity between one or more of a user's appendages, the method comprising the steps of:\n attaching at least one sensor subsystem to a user's first appendage, each said sensor subsystem comprising at least two sensors in relative spaced relation; moving said first appendage in a pre-determined calibration motion pattern; adjusting the sensitivity of said sensor subsystems responsive to said moving step; attaching at least one trigger subsystem to a second appendage of the user; monitoring the proximity of all said trigger subsystems to all said sensor subsystems; and emitting an alert perceptible to the human senses when the distance between any said trigger subsystem is closer to any said sensor than a preset threshold distance.
