Employing device sensor data to determine user characteristics
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving sensor data from a user device, the sensor data comprising;
image data depicting at least a portion of a user of the user device, the image data provided by an image capture device included in the user device; and
motion data describing a motion of the user device, the motion data provided by a motion sensor device included in the user device;
determining a first estimate of a physical characteristic of the user based on the image data, the physical characteristic comprising at least one of a height or an apparel size of the user;
determining a second estimate of the physical characteristic of the user based on the motion data;
processing the first estimate and the second estimate to determine a processed estimate of the physical characteristic of the user; and
based on the processed estimate, determining content to present through an application executed on the user device, wherein the content comprises at least one item recommended for the user based on the physical characteristic of the user.

Abstract
Techniques are described for determining height, weight, or other characteristics of a user based on processed sensor data. The sensor data may include data collected by sensors on the user'"'"'s computing device or other computing devices, or data collected by stationary, external sensors. Different types of sensor data may be processed to estimate at least one physical characteristic of the user, such as the user'"'"'s height, weight, apparel size, age, and so forth. The estimated characteristics may be employed to perform actions based on the user'"'"'s identity or category, to customize content delivery for the user, or for other purposes.

5. A system, comprising:
-
a memory storing computer-executable instructions; and a processor in communication with the memory, the processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to cause the processor to; receive first sensor data from a first sensor device included in a user device; receive second sensor data from a second sensor device included in the user device, the second sensor device being different than the first sensor device; determine a first estimate of a physical characteristic of a user associated with the user device, based at least partly on the first sensor data; determine a second estimate of the physical characteristic of the user, based at least partly on the second sensor data; process the first estimate and the second estimate to determine a third estimate of the physical characteristic of the user; perform one or more actions that are customized based at least partly on the third estimate of the physical characteristic; and wherein the one or more actions comprise; identifying one or more products having a size that corresponds to the third estimate of the physical characteristic of the user; and presenting content describing the one or more products. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
receiving sensor data from at least two sensor devices; processing the sensor data from the at least two sensor devices to determine at least two independent estimates of a physical dimension of a user of a user device; processing the at least two independent estimates of the physical dimension, to determine a processed estimate of the physical dimension of the user; performing one or more actions that are customized based at least in part on the processed estimate of the physical dimension of the user; and wherein the one or more actions comprise; selecting, from a plurality of items, at least one item that is recommended for the user based at least partly on the processed estimate of the physical dimension of the user; and presenting, on the user device, content describing the at least one item recommended for the user. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20)
