Abstract

There is provided a system and a method for customized content from user data. The method comprising receiving data corresponding to a user of a device, processing a content with the data to create a customized content, and outputting the customized content for display to the user. The data may be received from a device sensor, such as a GPS, camera, accelerometer, or receiver. The data may correspond to location data at a location of a user, and the content may be customized to mimic or contrast the location data. Additionally, the data may correspond to user information saved in a user database, such as a music library or personal profile. In certain implementations, the content may correspond to a virtual environment and the customized content may correspond to a customized virtual environment.

Claims

1. A method for providing a user with a customized content, the method comprising:

receiving data corresponding to a user of a device;

processing a content with the data to create the customized content; and

outputting the customized content for display to the user.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the data further comprises receiving the data from a device sensor.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the device sensor is a GPS sensor.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the device sensor is one of a camera, an accelerometer, and a receiver.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the data includes a location of the user.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the data further includes location data corresponding to the location of the user.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the data includes user information received from a database corresponding to the user.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the content is a virtual environment and the customized content is the customized virtual environment.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the customized virtual environment corresponds to a real environment of the user.

10. A device for providing a user with a customized content, the device comprising:

a control unit including a processor, the processor configured to;

receive data corresponding to a user of the device;

process a content with the data to create the customized content; and

output the customized content for display to the user.

11. The device of claim 10, wherein the device further includes at least one device sensor, and wherein the processor is further configured to receive the data from the at least one device sensor.

12. The device of claim 11, wherein the at least one device sensor is a GPS sensor.

13. The device of claim 11, wherein the at least one device sensor is one of a camera, an accelerometer, and a receiver.

14. The device of claim 10, wherein the data includes a location of the user.

15. The device of claim 14, wherein the data further includes location data corresponding to the location of the user.

16. The device of claim 10, wherein the data includes user information received from a database corresponding to the user.

17. The device of claim 10, wherein the content is a virtual environment and the customized content is the customized virtual environment.

18. The device of claim 17, wherein the customized virtual environment corresponds to a real environment of the user.

19. A mobile device for providing a user with a customized content, the mobile device comprising:

a display;

a control unit including a processor, the processor configured to;

receive data corresponding to a user of the mobile device;

process a content with the data to create a customized content; and

output the customized content to the display.

20. The mobile device of claim 19, wherein the device further includes at least one device sensor, and wherein the at least one sensor includes one of a GPS sensor, a camera, an accelerometer, and a receiver.
