Personalized information distribution system
First Claim
1. Information distribution system, comprising at least one presentation device (13) for presenting information to a user, control means (10, 100, 52) for controlling the operation of said at least one presentation device (13), and monitoring means (11) for obtaining measurements in the system, the control means being responsive to the monitoring means for controlling the operation of the presentation device on the basis of the measurements, and the monitoring means (11) including measurement means for measuring somatic phenomena directly from the user, characterized in that the control means are adapted to control the content and/or the manner of presentation of the information transmitted via the presentation device dependent on the current state of the user, the current state being indicated by the measurement means.

Abstract
The invention relates to an information distribution system, especially to an audio information distribution system including one or more local systems, each being intended for personal use or for the use of a small group. In order for the system to be adapted as well as possible to the current state of the user, the user is connected as a part of the system so that his or her current state affects the way information is supplied to him/her. Thus, the user is part of the system and part of the control circuit which affects the information flow. The state of the user is evaluated by measuring at least one somatic phenomenon from him/her, and the content of the information and/or presentation parameters are changed on the basis of the measurements.

11. A method for implementing a personal information distribution system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
presenting the information to the user via at least one presentation device (13), controlling the operation of said at least one presentation device by control means (10, 100), performing measurements in the system by monitoring means (11) to which said control means are responsive, the monitoring means being adapted to measure at least one somatic phenomenon from the user, characterized in that the controlling step includes selecting, on the basis of the measurements made by the monitoring means, the content and/or the manner of presentation of the information to be transmitted through the presentation device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
