Abstract

Event planning using social networking enables an efficient implementation of planning an event, as well as minimizing network traffic and optimizing other technological aspects of life. Additional information acquired by sensors and other technology is able to improve the quality of the event planning. Social network information as well as the additional information is able to be used to select aspects of the event such as time, location, and/or many other aspects of the event.

Claims

1. A wearable device comprising:

a. a body;

b. a body fluid sensor coupled to the body, the body fluid sensor configured for sensing one or more body fluids used to generate body fluid analysis information; and

c. a processor configured for;

i. determining information in common between a plurality of contacts of a social networking system;

ii. analyzing additional information including a current location of at least one contact of the plurality of contacts of the social networking system, the body fluid analysis information for the at least one contact of the plurality of contacts of the social networking system, and meal information of the at least one contact of the plurality of contacts of the social networking system; and

iii. providing an event recommendation by computing recommendation scores based on the information in common and the additional information.

2. The wearable device of claim 1 wherein the meal information of the at least one contact of the plurality of contacts is determined using a smart home appliance including a camera device and a weighing device, further wherein the smart home appliance identifies a food item based on an image acquired using the camera device and the weighing device, further wherein cuisines of recent meals are not recommended unless a pattern of preferring a same cuisine is determined.

3. The wearable device of claim 1 wherein analyzing the additional information comprises determining if a group coupon offered to a group of users has been purchased by the at least one contact of the plurality of contacts and increasing a recommendation score of an event associated with the purchased group coupon.

4. The wearable device of claim 1 wherein analyzing the additional information comprises determining a type of event based on keywords detected in a communication between the plurality of contacts and determining a relationship of the plurality of contacts.

5. The wearable device of claim 1 wherein analyzing the additional information comprises analyzing separate event planning of contacts of the plurality of contacts including determining if a potential conflict exists between the plurality of contacts.

6. The wearable device of claim 1 wherein analyzing the additional information comprises utilizing timestamps of events to determine which information is most relevant such that the information that is less recent based on the timestamps is considered less relevant resulting in fewer points added to a recommendation score for an event, and the information that is more recent based on the timestamps is considered more relevant resulting in more points added to the recommendation score for the event.

7. The wearable device of claim 1 wherein the body fluid analysis information is generated in real-time using the watch.

8. The wearable device of claim 1 wherein analyzing the additional information comprises determining an activity pattern of the at least one contact of the plurality of contacts of the social networking system, wherein the activity pattern includes a relationship between an activity and food.

9. The wearable device of claim 1 wherein analyzing the additional information comprises analyzing a to-do list of the at least one contact of the plurality of contacts of the social networking system to determine if items on the to-do list are located near an event to recommend, and increasing a recommendation score of the event based on the to-do list.

10. The wearable device of claim 1 wherein analyzing the additional information includes analyzing an adventure rating, wherein the adventure rating is determined based on likes and dislikes of the at least one contact of the plurality of contacts of the social networking system, wherein the adventure rating increases as a difference between a number of likes and a number of dislikes increases, with the number of likes being greater than the number of dislikes.

11. The wearable device of claim 1 wherein providing the event recommendation by computing the recommendation scores comprises utilizing points for items including likes, dislikes, traffic, wait times, recent meals, and group coupons to compute the event recommendation, wherein the items are each weighted.

12. The wearable device of claim 1 wherein providing the event recommendation utilizes a process of elimination by eliminating events that have a recommendation score below a first threshold, then increasing the first threshold to a second threshold and eliminating the events that have the recommendation score below the second threshold, and repeating the process until a specified number of events remain.

13. The wearable device of claim 1 wherein providing the event recommendation includes providing a detailed event recommendation including an event and specific items related to the event including menu recommendations.

14. The wearable device of claim 1 wherein providing the event recommendation comprises determining a percentage of likelihood of attending an event and providing a color-coded percentage of likelihood of attending the event for each of the contacts, and calculating and providing alternative events with a higher likelihood of attending success, further wherein if a contact of the plurality of contacts cancels, then recalculating the event recommendation.

15. The wearable device of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured for providing a list of contacts to select for an event wherein the list of contacts is determined based on the information in common and the additional information, further wherein a percentage of likelihood of attending the event is displayed for each contact.

16. The wearable device of claim 1 further comprising a heating component configured for providing heat to a user, and a cooling component configured for providing cold to the user.

17. The wearable device of claim 1 further comprising an accelerometer configured for determining motion of a user, wherein the motion of the user is used to determine exercise information, and the exercise information is shared among the plurality of contacts.

18. The wearable device of claim 1 wherein the body fluid sensor is configured to analyze sweat of a user, including determining salinity of the sweat.

19. A method comprising:

a. determining, with a wearable device, information in common between a plurality of contacts;

b. sensing, with the wearable device, one or more body fluids to generate body fluid analysis information; and

c. determining, with the wearable device, information in common between a plurality of contacts of a social networking system;

d. analyzing, with the wearable device, additional information including a current location of at least one contact of the plurality of contacts of the social networking system, the body fluid analysis information for the at least one contact of the plurality of contacts of the social networking system, and meal information of the at least one contact of the plurality of contacts of the social networking system; and

e. providing, with the wearable device, an event recommendation by computing recommendation scores based on the information in common and the additional information.

20. A system comprising:

a. a first wearable device with a first heating element and a first cooling element, the first heating element configured to heat the user, and the first cooling element configured to cool the user; and

b. a second wearable device including;

i. a body;

ii. a body fluid sensor coupled to the body, the body fluid sensor configured for sensing one or more body fluids used to generate body fluid analysis information; and

iii. a processor configured for;

(1) determining information in common between a plurality of contacts of a social networking system;

(2) analyzing additional information including a current location of at least one contact of the plurality of contacts of the social networking system, the body fluid analysis information for the at least one contact of the plurality of contacts of the social networking system, and meal information of the at least one contact of the plurality of contacts of the social networking system;

(3) providing an event recommendation by computing recommendation scores based on the information in common and the additional information, wherein the first wearable device and the second wearable device communicate wirelessly; and
