FIG. 2 is a depiction of a rotating spindle with dual cams to which removable cards are attached and printed on both sides in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.

FIG. 3 depicts block diagram components of the disclosed system for an index of cards in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Throughout the description, similar reference numbers may be used to identify similar elements depicted in multiple embodiments. Although specific embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated, the invention is not to be limited to the specific forms or arrangements of parts so described and illustrated. The scope of the invention is to be defined by the claims appended hereto and their equivalents.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Reference will now be made to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the disclosure is thereby intended. Alterations and further modifications of the inventive features illustrated herein and additional applications of the principles of the inventions as illustrated herein, which would occur to one skilled in the relevant art and having possession of this disclosure, are to be considered within the scope of the invention.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the disclosure in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Step A is “today's date,” step B random romantic thought for the day,” and step C to increment day or date. The random romantic thought comes from an AI or from a depository of predetermined romantic thoughts. Step C loops around back to step A automatically according to a decrementer or according to a calendar.

FIG. 2 is a depiction of a rotating spindle with dual cams to which removable cards are attached and printed on both sides in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The depiction includes a first note N1, a second note N2, a third note N3 and a fourth note N4. At least four flags F1, F2, F3 and F4 mark prior shared thoughts and/or instructions to come back to based on an adaptive need and selection of the user. That is an adaptive need and selection of the user includes a user choosing a sequence of a type of romantic thought and/or instruction over another type based on their needs and experiences. The depiction also includes the first rotating spindle S1, the second rotating spindle S2, the first cam C1, and the second cam C2. The stand or the bracket B2 supports the index and allows spinning and turning clockwise and counterclockwise in relation to a viewing angle of the user.

Further steps may require entering a verification code for access to the app and a short quiz on the background of a user to help determine romantic thoughts to use. For instance, how long someone has been in a relationship current and past, whether they are married current or past and personality traits. Also, what their definition of ‘romance’ might be. Also, frequency of thoughts to share on a daily basis or weekly, semi weekly etc. Accountability and how thoughtful and caring they consider themselves to be.

Significantly, the app also has the ability to allow a user to share romantic tips with friends, relations and the user community for insightful and meaningful expressions.

In one embodiment, the disclosure provides the user with randomly generated romantic ideas/tips (ideas of how to show love, caring and kindness) from a database. The user specifies preferred frequency of delivery. It is a tool to teach the user.

More advanced features allow the user to track success and record outcomes. The app can adapt based on the user's feedback of their partner's reactions to their implementation/use of the tips. The future tips are then adapted based on the learning. The adaptive feature can identify the future preferred category of the tip to be delivered, as well as adjust frequency of delivery.

For example: Social romance thoughts for the day might including “Introduce your partner to your best friend(s) today” if the user's collected feedback for this tip is positive the app would provide a similar tip in the future such as, “Introduce your partner to your coworkers today” etc. Advanced Categories of tips include social, emotional, physical, spiritual, intellectual. The app's purpose is to help the couple grow closer by supporting the user and helping the user identify what's working/not working in the relationship.”

The disclosure include your romantic thought for each day but with an adaptive feature that suggests romantic thoughts for the day depending on the users need and receiver's response/experience including:

Social romance notes N4 include thoughts for the day such as “Introduce your crush to your best friend(s) today” followed by another thought like, “Introduce your crush to your coworkers today” etc. Flag F4 marks a prior shared thought to come back to based on an adaptive need and selection of the user.

Emotional romance notes N1 include thoughts for the day such as. “Tell your crush how cute you think they are today,” followed by another thought like “Tell your crush you have their back today,” etc. Flag F1 marks a prior shared thought to come back to based on an adaptive need and selection of the user.

Affectionate romance notes N3 include thoughts for the day such as “Brush your hand across your crush's back when you walk past them today,” followed by another thought, “Greet your crush with a wet juicy kiss today,” etc. Flag F3 marks a prior shared thought to come back to based on an adaptive need and selection of the user.

Spiritual romance thoughts for the day including “Take your crush on a hike today to get closer to Nature and the Universe,” followed by another thought “Tell your crush how insightful they are about spiritual things.” etc

Financial romance thoughts for the day including “Tell your crush how you admire their earning power,” followed by another thought “Tell your crush ‘I like the way you prioritize your money needs,” etc.

Intellectual romance notes N2 include thoughts for the day such as, “Tell your crush ‘I like the way you think about things logically,” followed by another thought “I love your curiosity about nature, the way things work,” etc. Flag F2 marks a prior shard thought to return to based on an adaptive need and selection of the user.

The adaptive part comes into play by deciding if an emotional romantic thought for the day is followed by another emotional romantic thought for the next day or by an affectionate thought for the next day and so on.

The adaptive part can be triggered explicitly (on purpose) by the user or by a time expiration (how eager the user is to get another emotional thought or another affectionate thought for the next day for instance or from information received from the receiving/partner's end on the effectiveness of the thought/romantic tip provided by the app and it's positive/negative impact . . . for example the user can provides input as to how well it went/how it was received. In summary the extension is the apps on each end help the couple communicate what's working/not working in the relationship.
