Adapting operation of a computing device based on intrinsic motivators
First Claim
1. A method for adapting operation of a computing device based on intrinsic motivators of a user/subject, comprising:
- obtaining information that indicates the intrinsic motivators of the user/subject;
wherein the information reflects one or more types of activities in which the user chooses to participate for internal rewards, without need for external rewards;
wherein the internal rewards include one or more of;
pride, pleasure, satisfaction, or sense of accomplishment;
determining that the user/subject is using the computing device;
during execution of software that generates output displayed on the computing device while the user/subject is using the device, adapting operation of the software based, at least in part, on the intrinsic motivators of the user/subject;
wherein the information that indicates the intrinsic motivators of the user/subject is obtained prior to execution of the software whose operation is modified based on the intrinsic motivators of the user/subject;
wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices;
wherein the one or more computing devices include the computing device.

Abstract
Techniques are described herein for automatically determining play states, intrinsic motivators, play types/patterns and a play personality of a user/subject. Play personalities develop from activation of play states, and vary individually and are expressed in a variety of play type/patterns. These states, personalities, patterns and associated intrinsic motivations may be automatically determined by computing devices based on that user/subject'"'"'s information, behaviors and biometric data. The play personality may be additionally used as the means for identifying and integrating intrinsic motivators into player-centric design which can alter and personalize user/subject/player engagement, experience and outcomes.
