Abstract

In various embodiments, a biometric rating system (“BRS”) may generate ratings based on biometric data. The BRS may receive biometric data, along with location data, from personal devices of a user. The BRS may identify a location at which the biometric data was measured. The BRS may generate one or more ratings associated with the location, such as ratings for a venue or event at the location. The BRS may also perform calibration of the biometric data. For example, the BRS may be configured to partition biometric data measurements into multiple segments to be associated with different locations, different areas at a location, or different portions of an event. The BRS may calibrate biometric data based on activity or social media or proximity data. The BRS may generate a rating based on the calibrated biometric data. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Claims

1. An apparatus, comprising:

one or more computing processors; and

a biometric data receiver to receive biometric data transmitted from a wearable device of a user;

a biometric rating generator coupled to the biometric data receiver, the biometric rating generator to operate on the one or more computer processors to generate a rating associated with a location visited by the user contemporaneously with measurement of the biometric data, the rating being based at least in part on the received biometric data and the location.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a location identifier coupled to the biometric data receiver and to operate on the one or more computing processors to identify the location visited by the user.

3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the location identifier is to identify an event or a venue at the location based on global positioning system (GPS) data received from the wearable device or other device utilized by the user.

4. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the location identifier is to identify an event or a venue at the location based on a calendar event or social media information associated with the user.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a calibrator to operate on the one or more computing processors to calibrate the biometric data prior to generation of the rating.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the calibrator is to calibrate the biometric data based on identification of a baseline of biometric data for the user.

7. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein:

the calibrator is to calibrate the biometric data based on identification of one or more segments in the biometric data; and

the biometric rating generator is to generate separate ratings for separate segments identified by the calibrator.

8. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the calibrator is to calibrate the biometric data through:

determination of one or more persons that are proximate to the user;

determination of an effect of the proximity of the one or more persons on the user; and

calibration of the biometric data to account for the effect of the proximity of the one or more persons on the user.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the biometric data receiver is to receive proximity information from the wearable device or another device utilized by the user or from one or more social media services.

10. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the calibrator is to calibrate the biometric data through:

determination of an effect of the location on the user; and

calibration of the biometric data to account for the effect of the proximity of the location on the user.

11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein:

biometric rating generator is to determine that an event is occurring at the location; and

the biometric rating generator is to generate the rating for the event at the location.

12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the biometric rating generator is to generate the rating through modification of a previous rating for the location by the user based on the biometric data.

13. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the biometric data comprises heart rate data for the user.

14. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the rating is a numerical rating or a qualitative positive or negative rating.

15. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, by a computing system, biometric data transmitted from a wearable device of a user; and

generating, by the computing system, a rating associated with a location visited by the user contemporaneously with measurement of the biometric data, wherein generating comprises generating the rating based at least in part on the received biometric data and the location.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, further comprising identifying an event or a venue at the location based on a calendar event or social media information associated with the user.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, further comprising calibrating, by the computing system, the biometric data prior to generation of the rating.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 15, wherein generating the rating comprises generating the rating for an event at the location.

19. One or more computer-readable media containing instructions written thereon that, in response to execution by a computing system, cause the computing system to:

receive biometric data transmitted from a wearable device of a user; and

generate a rating associated with a location visited by the user contemporaneously with measurement of the biometric data, wherein generating comprises generating the rating based at least in part on the received biometric data and the location.

20. The computer-readable media of claim 19, wherein the instructions are further to identify the location visited by the user.

21. The computer-readable media of claim 19, wherein the instructions are further to identify an event or a venue at the location based on a calendar event or social media information associated with the user.

22. The computer-readable media of claim 19, wherein the instructions are further to calibrate the biometric data prior to generation of the rating.

23. The computer-readable media of claim 22, wherein calibrate the biometric data comprises calibrate the biometric data based on identification of a baseline of biometric data for the user.

24. The computer-readable media of claim 22, wherein calibrate the biometric data comprises:

determine an effect of the location on the user; and

calibrate the biometric data to account for the effect of the proximity of the location on the user.

25. The computer-readable media of claim 19, wherein generate the rating comprises generate the rating for an event at the location.
