Abstract

Disclosed is a system for dynamically modifying settings of a communication device based on an activity state of a user of the communication device. A data capturing module captures values corresponding to a plurality of physiological parameters associated to a plurality of activity states of a user. The values may be captured by using one or more wearable devices worn by a user. A configuration module enables the user to configure one or more rules and one or more events, to be triggered, corresponding to each of the one or more rules for modifying settings of the communication device. An activity state determining module determines an activity state, in real-time, from the plurality of activity states. An event triggering module triggers an event, of the one or more events, based on a rule configured corresponding to the activity state in order to dynamically modify the settings of the communication device.

Claims

1. A method for dynamically modifying settings of a communication device based on an activity state of a user of the communication device, the method comprising:

capturing, by a processor of a communication device, values corresponding to a plurality of physiological parameters associated to a plurality of activity states of a user, wherein the values are captured using one or more wearable devices worn by a user;

enabling, by the processor, the user to configure

one or more rules based on the values corresponding to the plurality of physiological parameters, wherein each rule corresponds to an activity state of the user, and

one or more events, to be triggered, corresponding to each of the one or more rules for modifying settings of the communication device, wherein each event is configured upon the values learned during a learning mode;

determining, by the processor, an activity state, in real-time, from the plurality of activity states based upon at least one real time value captured corresponding to at least one physiological parameter; and

triggering, by the processor, an event, of the one or more events, based on a rule configured corresponding to the activity state in order to dynamically modify the settings of the communication device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of physiological parameters comprises wrist pulse, Peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SPO2), Temperature, Electrocardiogram (ECG), Body vibrations, Body orientation with compass, Global Positioning System (OPS), Electroencephalography (EEG), or any combination thereof.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the activity state is at least one of sleeping, jogging, sitting in an office, and sitting in a canteen.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more events comprise at least one of putting the communication device in silent mode, putting the communication device in switch on mode, and putting the communication device in loud mode.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more rules comprise:

a. putting the communication device in silent mode, when the user is sleeping,

b. putting the communication device in silent mode, when the user is sitting in office,

c. putting the communication device in switch on mode, when the user is jogging, and

d. putting the communication device in loud mode, when the user is sitting in canteen.

6. A system for dynamically modifying settings of a communication device based on an activity state of a user of the communication device, the system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is capable of executing a plurality of modules stored in the memory, and wherein the plurality of modules comprising;

a data capturing module for capturing values corresponding to a plurality of physiological parameters associated to a plurality of activity states of a user, wherein the values are captured using one or more wearable devices worn by a user;

a configuration module for enabling the user to configure

one or more rules based on the values corresponding to the plurality of physiological parameters, wherein each rule corresponds to an activity state of the user, and

one or more events, to be triggered, corresponding to each of the one or more rules for modifying settings of the communication device, wherein each event is configured upon the values learned during a learning mode;

an activity state determining module for determining an activity state, in real-time, from the plurality of activity states based upon at least one real time value captured corresponding to at least one physiological parameter; and

an event triggering module for triggering an event, of the one or more events, based on a rule configured corresponding to the activity state in order to dynamically modify the settings of the communication device.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the value pertaining to each of the plurality of physiological parameters are stored in a system database.

8. The system of claim 6, wherein the plurality of physiological parameters comprises wrist pulse, Peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SPO2), Temperature, Electrocardiogram (ECG), Body vibrations, Body orientation with compass, Global Positioning System (GPS), Electroencephalography (EEG), or any combination thereof.

9. The system of claim 6, wherein the activity state is at least one of sleeping, jogging, sitting in an office, and sitting in a canteen.

10. The system of claim 6, wherein the one or more events comprise at least one of putting the communication device in silent mode, putting the communication device in switch on mode, and putting the communication device in loud mode.

11. The system of claim 6, wherein the one or more rules comprise:

a. putting the communication device in silent mode, when the user is sleeping,

b. putting the communication device in silent mode, when the user is sitting in office,

c. putting the communication device in switch on mode, when the user is jogging, and

d. putting the communication device in loud mode, when the user is sitting in canteen.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a program executable in a computing device for dynamically modifying settings of a communication device based on an activity state of a user of the communication device, the program comprising a program code:

a program code for capturing values corresponding to a plurality of physiological parameters associated to a plurality of activity states of a user, wherein the values are captured using one or more wearable devices worn by a user;

a program code for enabling the user to configure

one or more rules based on the values corresponding to the plurality of physiological parameters, wherein each rule corresponds to an activity state of the user, and

one or more events, to be triggered, corresponding to each of the one or more rules for modifying settings of the communication device, wherein each event is configured upon the values learned during a learning mode;

a program code for determining an activity state, in real-time, from the plurality of activity states based upon at least one real time value captured corresponding to at least one physiological parameter; and

a program code for triggering an event, of the one or more events, based on a rule configured corresponding to the activity state in order to dynamically modify the settings of the communication device.
