A portable electronic device is disclosed. The device has a first program stored in memory contained within the device and a second program stored on transposable memory which is releasably connectable to the device. The transposable memory comprises: a plug-in module having a EEPROM. The second program stored on the transposable memory comprises a series of groups of instructions which are downloaded, as required, by the device and executed in order. The specific groups to be downloaded are determined by a jump table which accesses different groups of instructions in response to input signals. The instructions to be downloaded are identified by variable addresses in the jump table, and, the variable addresses are updated by means of the first program and the second program. In one embodiment, the device is a combination wrist watch and user interactive device such that the first program operates the wrist watch device and the second program comprises a behavioral modification program to assist the user to stop performing acquired behavioral responses such as using tobacco products, alcohol, or over-eating, in response to external stimuli.

Dispositif électronique portatif. Le dispositif a un premier programme en mémoire interne et un deuxième programme stocké dans une mémoire amovible. La mémoire amovible comprend un module enfichable à EEPROM. Le deuxième programme en mémoire amovible comprend une suite de groupes d'instructions qui sont téléchargées, selon les besoins, par le dispositif et exécutées en ordre. Les groupes précis à télécharger sont déterminés par une table de recherche qui accède à différents groupes d'instructions en réponse à des signaux d'entrée. Les instructions à télécharger sont identifiées par des adresses variables de la table de recherche, lesquelles sont mises à jour au moyen du premier programme et du deuxième programme. Dans une version, le dispositif combine une montre-bracelet et un système interactif d'utilisateur : le premier programme fait fonctionner le dispositif de montre-bracelet et le deuxième programme comprend un programme de modification du comportement pour aider l'utilisateur à mettre fin à certaines réactions comportementales acquises, p. ex. consommation de tabac ou d'alcool, excès alimentaires, en réponse à des stimuli externes.
