Abstract
Selecting and presenting messages to user of an activity/health monitoring platform. The health/activity monitoring platform may receive physiological data for a user. The health/activity monitoring platform may identify a set of messages based on the physiological data. The health/activity monitoring platform may also determine a set of scores for the set of messages. Each score from the set of scores may be associated with a message from the set of messages and each score from the set of scores may be indicative of whether a respective message should be presented to the user. The health/activity monitoring platform may also identify a first message from a set of messages based on the set of scores and cause the first message to be presented via a display of a computing device of the user. The health/activity monitoring platform may also update a first set of penalties associated with the first message in response to causing the first message to be presented. The first set of penalties decreases a first likelihood that the first message will be presented to the user again.
Core Innovation
The invention provides a method of presenting messages to a user by generating physiological data comprising physiological characteristics relating to sleeping or activity patterns of the user by one or more physiological sensors that require contact with skin. The sensors include at least one of a skin temperature sensor, an electromyography (EMG) sensor, or a galvanic skin response (GSR) sensor, and the physiological data is indicative of movement of the user during sleep.
An external computing device receives the physiological data over a network and identifies, from a set of messages, a subset of sleep- or activity-associated messages based on the physiological characteristics. The external computing device determines a set of scores for the set of messages, where each score indicates whether a respective message should be presented, identifies a first message from the set of messages based on the set of scores, and causes the first message to be presented via a display.
The external computing device receives an interaction of the user with the display in response to the first message and updates at least one penalty associated with the first message. At least one of the penalty or the interaction decreases a likelihood that the first message will be presented to the user again.
Claims Coverage
Independent claim clm-00001 covers a full end-to-end method for physiology-driven message set identification, message scoring and selection for display, and penalty updating to reduce likelihood of repeat presentation. The inventive features include physiology generation with skin-contact sensors during sleep, networked reception at an external computing device, selection of a first message via scores, presentation through a display, and penalty updates driven by penalties and/or user interaction.
Skin-contact physiological sensing on a biometric monitoring device during sleep
Generating physiological data comprising physiological characteristics relating to sleeping or activity patterns of the user by one or more physiological sensors that require contact with skin, including at least one of a skin temperature sensor, an electromyography (EMG) sensor, or a galvanic skin response (GSR) sensor, disposed on a protrusion of a backside of a biometric monitoring device, and the physiological data is indicative of movement of the user during sleep.
Network reception at an external computing device
Receiving, by an external computing device over a network, the physiological data.
Message set identification based on sleep or activity physiological characteristics
Identifying, by the external computing device, a set of messages based on the physiological characteristics relating to the sleeping or activity patterns of the user, wherein each message in the set of messages comprises content associated with at least one of sleep or activity of the user.
Per-message scoring to indicate presentation eligibility
Determining, by the external computing device, a set of scores for the set of messages, wherein each score from the set of scores is indicative of whether a respective message should be presented to the user.
First-message selection from scored messages and presentation via a display
Identifying, by the external computing device, a first message from the set of messages based on the set of scores, and causing, by the external computing device, the first message to be presented via a display.
Penalty updating to decrease likelihood of repeat presentation
Receiving, by the external computing device, an interaction of the user with the display in response to the first message, and updating, by the external computing device, at least one penalty associated with the first message, wherein at least one of the at least one penalty or the interaction of the user decreases a likelihood that the first message will be presented to the user again.
Across the independent claim, the core inventive coverage is a combined system where sleep/activity physiological data from skin-contact sensors on a wearable is received by an external computing device, used to identify a set of sleep- or activity-associated messages, scored to select a first message for display, and followed by interaction-driven penalty updating so the presented message is less likely to be presented again.
Stated Advantages
Decreases a likelihood that the first message will be presented to the user again based on at least one penalty and/or the user interaction.
