Physiological-Responsive Recommender System and Device

Abstract

A physiological-responsive computer-implemented system and device generates recommendations based on usage behaviors, including physiological responses such as body movements and gestures. The recommendations may be based on an inference of a preference and / or in accordance with the location or proximity of a physical object, and may be delivered in the context of the recommendation recipient interacting with a computer-implemented game. Information as to why the recommendation was delivered to a recommendation recipient may be provided to the recommendation recipient.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 559,145, filed on Nov. 13, 2006, which is a continuation of International Patent Application No. PCT / US2005 / 011951, filed on Apr. 8, 2005, which claimed priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 572,565, filed May 20, 2004.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to extending the business process paradigm so as to make processes more explicitly adaptive over time. More specifically, adaptive recombinant processes relates to processes that automatically structure and re-structure themselves so as to deliver increasing value to the participants in the processes over time.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The business process paradigm was first introduced in a rigorous form by Rummler and Brache in the late 1980's, and was increasingly popularized by authors such as Michael Hammer, and a wide range of business c...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a method and system for creating adaptive and learning processes. These processes can automatically capture the behaviors of participants in the process and use those behaviors to reconfigure themselves in real-time. This approach can reduce the need for manual redesign and training, and can also increase process adaptiveness and efficiency through the use of reuse. The method can be applied to existing processes or create entirely new types of processes. The patent also mentions the use of fuzzy content network and adaptive recombinant systems approaches to further enhance the adaptive process."

Problems solved by technology

Such inferences may be conducted on an automatic or semi-automatic basis; in either case, application of the inferences can potentially dramatically reduce explicit, manual process design and redesign efforts.
