COMMUNICATION SYSTEM HAVING AUTOMATED FILTERING BASED ON MENTAL STATE DECISIONS
First Claim
1. A communication device for automated filtering based on mental state decisions, comprising:
- a brainwave sensing device, positioned on a user and having at least one sensor;
a signal conditioner, having a sensor interface hardware, a state detector, a controller, a mental state predictor, a mental state database, a mental state log database, a memory and a transceiver;
wherein said at least one sensor of said brainwave sensing device has a signal that passes through said signal conditioner;
wherein said transceiver of said signal conditioner communicates said signal to a portable electronic device;
wherein said portable electronic device further communicates with a telecommunication system over a channel; and
wherein said channel can be interrupted or allowed to said portable electronic device based on said signal.

Abstract
A communication device having automated filtering based on mental state decisions of the present invention includes a brainwave sensing device that has sensors positioned on a user which can wirelessly communicate the mental state(s) of the user through a signal conditioner to portable electronic device. Subsequently, when the portable electronic device receives signals from a communication system, such as a call or a message, the calls or messages can be either be allowed or interrupted and stored depending on the mental state of the user. Thus, by using the mental state of the user, the portable electronic device can control the communication between the device and a telephone or message system to prevent interruptions during periods of intense focus, for example. In addition, this application provides methods for operating the communication device having automated filtering based on mental state decisions of the present invention.

7. A method for operating a communication system for automated filtering based on mental state decisions, comprising:
-
initializing said system, including calibrating one or more electronics, and initializing a controller and a memory; determining if a call filtering function is “
ON”
, wherein if said filtering function is “
OFF”
, all incoming calls and messages are passed through to a communication device and wherein if said filtering function is “
ON”
, a user may select a target mental state to be used for a filter function sensing one or more brain input signal;predicting a mental state prediction from said one or more brain input signal; logging said mental state prediction into in a mental state database; and monitoring said mental state of said user, wherein if said target mental state is not sensed a call interruption flag is cleared, allowing ordinary operation of a portable electronic device and wherein if said target mental state is sensed a call interrupt flag is set. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
