Dynamically responsive mood sensing environments
First Claim
1. A method for a mood sensing environment containing adjustable machines to dynamically respond to mood changes of a user, comprising:
- associating one or more sensors with a user, at least one of said sensors monitoring one or more physiological conditions of the user;
determining a mood for the user based at least in part on monitored physiological conditions of the user;
selecting a configurable machine of the environment; and
changing a configuration of the configurable machine based at least in part on the determined mood of the user.

Abstract
Physiological readings, such as heart rate, breathing rate, pulse, blood pressure, electrical conductivity across skin surface(s), electrical or magnetic activity of various regions of the brain, body temperature, voice patterns, voice stress, blood chemistry, locomotion (walking, running, etc.) characteristics, eating patterns, personal movement, etc. may be monitored for one or more users. It will be appreciated locomotion may be determined, for example, by way of sensors in shoes or walking surfaces, as well as by motion picture modeling analyzing one'"'"'s motion as seen by one or more cameras placed in the environment. It will be appreciated these exemplary attributes may be used to infer or estimate one'"'"'s current mood or interests directly or based on models. An adaptive environment may be used to refine models to improve mood determination accuracy, and to configure devices in the environment according to a determined mood.

16. A system providing a mood sensing environment containing adjustable machines dynamically responsive to user mood changes, comprising:
-
a sensor associated configured to monitor one or more physiological conditions of a user;
a first machine including a database storing data for use in correlating moods with monitored physiological conditions of the user;
a mood determinator communicatively coupled with the first machine for determining a mood for the user based at least in part on said monitored physiological conditions;
a configurable machine having a configuration determined based at least in part on the mood determined for the user. - View Dependent Claims (17)
