Abstract

In one aspect, the inventions include a system for control of an entertainment state system. First, an application plane layer is adapted to receive instructions regarding operation of the entertainment state system. Preferably, the application plane layer is coupled to an application plane layer interface. Second, a control plane layer includes an adaptive control unit, such as a cognitive computing unit, an artificial intelligence unit or a machine-learning unit. Third, a data plane layer includes an input interface to receive data input from one or more data sources. An adaptive control unit is trained at least in part on analyzing the behavioral responses of users in response to content provided on one or more displays to the users as sensed by one or more sensors.
