Abstract
A method and system for instructing a user behavior change comprising: collecting a first and a second bioelectrical signal dataset; generating an analysis based upon the first and the second bioelectrical signal datasets; and providing a behavior change suggestion to the user based upon the analysis. The method can further comprise collecting a third bioelectrical signal dataset associated with a performance of an action by the user in response to the behavior change suggestion; generating an adherence metric based upon the third bioelectrical signal dataset and at least one of the first and the second bioelectrical signal datasets; providing a stimulus configured to prompt an action by the user; and providing at least one of the analysis and an analysis based upon the adherence metric to the user. An embodiment of the system comprises a biosignal detector and a processor configured to implement an embodiment of the method.
Core Innovation
A method for facilitating user behavior change is provided using a biosignal neuroheadset. The method provides a first stimulus configured to prompt a first action, collects a bioelectrical signal dataset associated with the user performing the first action, and collects a motion dataset associated with the user performing the first action. The processor of a remote server identifies the first action based on the motion dataset and generates an analysis of the bioelectrical signal dataset based on the first action.
The method determines a behavior change suggestion based on the analysis. In the claimed arrangement, the method also receives a location dataset collected at a location sensor in association with the user performing the first action, and the behavior change suggestion is determined based on the analysis and the location dataset. The behavior change suggestion is transmitted to a computing device and electronically provided to the user via a user-device interface, and a second stimulus associated with the behavior change suggestion is provided.
In related implementations, the behavior change suggestion is used to adjust aspects of the user’s environment. The method can include automatically adjusting at least one of lighting, temperature, and sound based on the behavior change suggestion. Additional refinements include providing stimulus/content and generating analysis tied to the user receiving the first content, and generating the analysis on a remote server processor based on anonymized bioelectrical signal data associated with a set of supplemental users and the first action.
Claims Coverage
Two independent claims are covered. Each independent claim centers on prompting a first action, collecting bioelectrical and motion data with a biosignal neuroheadset and motion sensor, generating a remote-server analysis, and using that analysis to produce and deliver a behavior change suggestion, with one claim additionally requiring automatic environment adjustment.
Prompting first action with first stimulus and providing second stimulus
Providing a first stimulus to a user configured to prompt a first action; collecting a bioelectrical signal dataset associated with the user performing the first action; identifying the first action based on a motion dataset; generating an analysis of the bioelectrical signal dataset based on the first action; determining a behavior change suggestion based on the analysis and a location dataset; transmitting the behavior change suggestion to a computing device and electronically providing the behavior change suggestion to the user via a user-device interface; and providing a second stimulus associated with the behavior change suggestion.
Remote analysis and automatic environment adjustment based on suggestion
Providing a first stimulus configured to prompt a first action; collecting a bioelectrical signal dataset associated with the user performing the first action; collecting a motion dataset associated with the user performing the first action; identifying the first action based on the motion dataset; generating an analysis of the bioelectrical signal dataset based on the first action; determining a behavior change suggestion based on the analysis; transmitting the behavior change suggestion to a computing device; and automatically adjusting an aspect of the user’s environment based on the behavior change suggestion, where the aspect comprises at least one of lighting, temperature and sound.
Across the independent claims, the core coverage is a biosignal neuroheadset-based method that uses motion data to identify a prompted action and uses a remote server to generate an analysis of bioelectrical signals to determine a behavior change suggestion. One independent claim further includes location dataset use plus user-facing delivery and a second stimulus, while the other independent claim further requires automatic adjustment of environmental aspects based on the suggestion.
