Abstract:

The present concerns systems, methods and computer program products for promoting the mindful consumption of a resource. A method for promoting the mindful consumption of a resource in accordance with one embodiment comprises interacting with a device to enter an initial state, receiving data indicative of a magnitude and direction of acceleration of the device and determining if the received data exceeds a threshold. If the received data exceeds the threshold, the device transitions to a secondary state, causing initiation of a timer. Upon expiration of the timer, the device transitions back to the initial state. According to one embodiment, transitioning from the initial state to the secondary state comprises darkening a first LED, e.g., a green LED, and illuminating a second LED, e.g., a red LED. Likewise transitioning from the secondary state to the initial state may comprise darkening the second LED and illuminating the first LED.
