First Claim
Patent Images
1. An affective well-being supervision system comprising:
- at least one wearable sensor (1) configured to measure at least one physiological signal of a user;
a logical means (2) configured to receive the at least one measured physiological signal, to detect an emotional change according to said signal, and to generate instructions to an external device (3) according to the detected emotional change;
a first communication means configured to connect the at least one wearable sensor (1) and the logical means (2); and
a second communication means configured to connect the logical means (2) to the external device (3) and to send the generated instructions to said external device (3),wherein the logical means (2) comprise a memory (7) and the logical means (2) is adapted to;
if a data block of the measured signal is classified as being a neutral physiological state, store in the memory (7) said data block classified as being a neutral physiological state; and
detect the emotional change by comparing each incoming data block of the measured physiological signal with the last data block of said signal stored in the memory (7) classified as being a neutral physiological state.

Abstract
System and method capable of reducing the effects of negative emotional states by performing physiological measurements of a user with wearable sensors (1), detecting an emotional state of said user according to the performed measurements, preferably using an autoassociative memory, and generating commands or instructions for external devices (3) whenever an emotional change is detected, in order to compensate or alleviate said emotional change.

9. A method of affective well-being supervision comprising:
-
measuring at least one physiological signal of a user; detecting an emotional change according to the measured signal; and generating instructions to an external device (3) according to the detected emotional change, wherein the step of detecting the emotional change further comprises; if a data block of the measured signal is classified as being a neutral physiological state, storing in the memory (7) said data block classified as being a neutral physiological state; and comparing each incoming data block of the measured physiological signal with the last data block of said physiological signal stored in the memory (7) classified as being a neutral physiological state. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
