System and method for using biometrics to predict and select music preferences
First Claim
1. A system for using biometrics to select music preferences for a user in a vehicle, comprising:
- a music selection module electrically coupled to at least one biometric sensor in the vehicle, wherein the at least one biometric sensor senses a characteristic of the user and outputs data for the sensed characteristic to the music selection module, and wherein the music selection module;
determines whether a music selection is being played;
interprets the sensed characteristic data to predict whether the sensed characteristic data indicates satisfaction with the music selection being played;
selects another music selection for the user other than the music selection being played based on the interpretation of the sensed characteristic data;
categorizes the music selection being played as one the user likes or dislikes based on the interpretation of the sensed characteristic data;
comprises a filter including a pattern recognition tool to analyze models of biometric data applied on the filter, wherein the filter outputs a prediction of music selections for the user based on the models, and the models are developed from reaction variant patterns;
respectively categorizes existing reaction variant patterns under different music selections;
detects uncategorized reaction variant patterns;
determines to which categorized reaction variant patterns the uncategorized reaction variant patterns are closest; and
categorizes the uncategorized reaction variant patterns under the same music selections as their closest categorized reaction variant patterns; and
a controller module electrically coupled to the music selection module to control playing of the music selection, wherein the controller module;
receives an output including the music selection from the music selection module;
plays the other music selection in place of the music selection being played in response to a determination that the sensed characteristic indicates dissatisfaction with the music selection being played, and the categorization of the music selection being played as one the user dislikes; and
plays the other music selection after the music selection being played ends in response to a determination that the sensed characteristic indicates satisfaction with the music selection being played, and the categorization of the music selection being played as one the user likes.

14. An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising program code tangibly embodied thereon, which when executed by a computer, performs method steps for using biometrics to select music preferences for a user in a vehicle, the method steps comprising:
- monitoring the vehicle for an input from a biometric sensor;
determining whether any inputs from the biometric sensor have been detected;
determining whether a music selection is being played;
interpreting the input from the biometric sensor to predict whether the input from the biometric sensor indicates satisfaction with the music selection being played;
analyzing environmental data;
selecting another music selection other than the music selection being played based on the interpretation of the input from the biometric sensor and the environmental data;
categorizing the music selection being played as one a user likes or dislikes based on the interpretation of the input from the biometric sensor and the environmental data;
playing the other music selection in place of the music selection being played in response to a determination that the input from the biometric sensor indicates dissatisfaction with the music selection being played, and the categorization of the music selection being played as one the user dislikes;
playing the other music selection after the music selection being played ends in response to a determination that the input from the biometric sensor indicates satisfaction with the music selection being played, and the categorization of the music selection being played as one the user likes, wherein;
the vehicle includes another user;
the input from the biometric sensor comprises biometric information of the user and the other user; and
determining overlapping music selections liked by both the user and the other user. - View Dependent Claims (15)
