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; and
categorizes the music selection being played as one the user likes or dislikes based on the interpretation of the sensed characteristic data; 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;
wherein the music selection module 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
wherein the models are developed from reaction variant patterns, and the music selection module;
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.

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; and 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;
wherein;the vehicle includes another user; the input from the biometric sensor comprises biometric information of the user and the other user; and the method steps further comprise determining overlapping music selections liked by both the user and the other user. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. An apparatus for using biometrics to select music preferences for a user in a vehicle, comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute code stored in the memory for; monitoring the vehicle for inputs from a plurality of biometric sensors; determining whether any inputs from the biometric sensors have been detected; determining whether a music selection is being played; interpreting the inputs from the biometric sensors to develop models of biometric data and to predict whether the inputs from the biometric sensors indicate satisfaction with the music selection being played; applying and analyzing the models of the biometric data on a filter; outputting a prediction of music selections for the user based on the models; selecting another music selection other than the music selection being played based on the interpretation of the inputs from the biometric sensors and the prediction of music selections; and categorizing the music selection being played as one a user likes or dislikes based on the interpretation of the inputs from the biometric sensors and the models;
wherein;the vehicle includes another user; the inputs from the biometric sensors comprise biometric information of the user and the other user; and the processor is further configured to execute code stored in the memory for determining overlapping music selections liked by both the user and the other user.
