[0036] In short, the system 1 and method allow the wearer to keep a memory of specific events in his life, which are identified according to the detection of a change in the mood of the wearer. Moreover, contrary to systems and methods known in the art which automatically record all events of the life of the wearer detected without discrimination, the system 1 and method allow the wearer to select / choose specific events in his life which he decides to record. In other words, in the present invention, the detected events are recorded with the consent of the wearer of the connected watch.

[0037] A specific event can be defined as a fact having a significant impact in the life of the wearer. For example, the young woman learning that she is pregnant is a good illustration of such a specific event.

[0038] Reference will first be made to Figure 1 The system 1 comprises a connected watch 2, an electronic device 3 and a server 4 comprising a database 5. The system 1 also comprises a wireless or wired network architecture connecting together the electronic device 3, the connected watch 2 and the server 4.

[0039] In the system 1, the connected watch 2 comprises a body such as a watch case and an attachment element such as a wristband, which allows the body to be fastened to, for example, the wrist of the wearer. More particularly, the connected watch 2 comprises, in a non-limiting and / or non-exhaustive manner:

According to an embodiment, the biological information sensor 14 can be arranged in the back side of the housing of the connected watch 2 and / or in an attachment element.

[0048] As previously indicated, the biological information sensor 14 measures biological information of the wearer. This biological information is mainly related to various emotional factors related to the behavior and the physiological characteristics of the wearer. In this case, the biological information includes several categories of emotional factors listed in a non-limiting and non-exhaustive manner: respiration, amount of perspiration, heartbeat, respiration, blinking, eye movement, gaze time, pupil diameter, blood pressure, brain waves, body movement, posture, skin temperature, galvanic skin response (GSR), micro-vibration (MV), electromyography (EMG) and blood oxygen saturation (SPO2). These categories of emotional factors can be measured by an electrocardiogram measurement unit, an EMG measurement unit, a head voltage measurement unit, infrared image intensity analysis, a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor or a perspiration sensor. The biological information sensor 14 can be configured to be supported at a certain location by the wearer so that it can detect this emotional factor, for example, the heartbeat of the wearer, or to be worn at a certain location by the wearer, at which it is in contact with the skin of the wearer and is thus able to measure a parameter such as electrical resistance.

[0049] In this system 1, the server 4, such as a remote server, comprises a database 5 which can comprise a plurality of data related to information about a plurality of wearers and at least one multimedia message 7 related to a specific event of a wearer for each of them.

[0059] In this electronic device 3, the processing unit 15 is connected, among other things, to the broadcast interface, to the communication interface 16, to the acquisition module and to the selection interface. The communication interface of the electronic device 3 comprises communication elements for remotely receiving and transmitting data via a cellular telephone network, via an IP type data network of a telephone network, or via an IP type data network of a medium range network (for example WI-FI) or of a short range network implementing Bluetooth technology.

[0060] Furthermore, in this electronic device 3, the processing unit 15 is connected, among other things, to the display module, to the transmission interface, to the communication interface and to the selection interface. The processing unit 15 is in particular able to execute instructions for implementing a computer program configured to process, for example, queries / instructions / data being received / transmitted:

[0061] - queries / instructions / data received from / sent to the server 4, in particular to its control unit 17, and / or

[0062] - queries / instructions / data received from / sent to the processing unit 8 of the connected watch 2.

[0063] Still further, the processing unit 15 of the electronic device 3 is able to execute a computer program also called application(s). More precisely, in this context, an application is an "event-specific application". When the processing unit 15 executes this application, the application is able to participate in the implementation of part of the steps of the method described below.

[0064] The system 1 is able to implement a method for Figure 2The method archives a particular event in the life of the wearer of the connected watch 2 illustrated in the figure.

[0065] Such a method begins with a step 100 of connecting the connected watch 2 to the electronic device 3. During this step 100, the processing units 8, 15 of the connected watch 2 and of the electronic device 3 are connected to each other by using, for example, Bluetooth TM protocol by means of their communication interfaces 11, 16.

[0066] Once this connection is established, the application of the particular event is active on the electronic device 3 and is able to exchange data with the processing unit 8 of the connected watch 2. In other words, the application is active as soon as the processing unit 15 of the electronic device 3 detects that a connection is established between the connected watch 2 and this electronic device 3.

[0067] The method then comprises a step 101 of tracking an emotional factor of at least one category of the wearer. It is understood that several categories can also be tracked simultaneously during the implementation of this step 101.

[0068] As will be understood from below, this step 101 is implemented by the processing unit 15 of the electronic device 3 executing the application and also by the processing unit 8 of the connected watch 2 connected to the bio-information sensor 14.

[0069] In this case, this tracking step 101 comprises a sub-step 102 of receiving measurement data of the emotional factor from the bio-information sensor 14. The measurement data can in particular be received by the processing unit 8 of the connected watch 2 and then transmitted to the processing unit 15 of the electronic device 3 executing the application during a transmission sub-step 103.

[0070] In this case, this application executed by the processing unit 15 is configured to participate in the detection of a particular event in the life of the wearer from the received measurement data. The tracking step 101 comprises for this a sub-step 104 for detecting a change on the measurement data of the emotional factor. Such a sub-step 104 comprises a phase 105 for monitoring the received measurement data. During this phase 105, each measurement of the emotional factor included in the measurement data is compared with a reference measurement of this emotional factor. This reference measurement can be considered as a threshold. Furthermore, this sub-step 104 comprises a phase 106 of generating a detection message if the successive measurements of the emotional factor provided by the measurement data exceed the reference measurement of this emotional factor during a predetermined period of time. In this case, if the category of the emotional factor is the heartbeat, the detection message is generated based on an increase of the heart rate of the wearer during a given period of time (or to a certain amount) greater than the reference measurement of this emotional factor.

[0071] Still further, this sub-step 104 comprises a phase 107 of recording information about the successive emotional factor measurements. In the case where the category of emotional factor is heart beat, this information can concern the heart rate of the wearer at this time.

[0072] Then, the method comprises a step 108 of propagating to the wearer a notification 6 of the detection of a specific event by the connected watch 2 when a change in at least one category of emotional factor of the tracked wearer has occurred. Such a step 108 comprises a sub-step 109 of receiving a detection message from the electronic device 3 and more particularly from the processing unit 15 executing the application. This step then comprises a sub-step 110 of generating a notification 6 based on this message. For example, this notification 6 can be a vibration of the watch case of the connected watch 2 and / or a graphical representation notification 6 displayed on the digital display 9 of the watch 2, in particular full screen and / or a sound emitted by the loudspeaker 10 of the watch 2.

[0073] Then, the method comprises a step of displaying, on the interface 9 for broadcasting visual information segments of the connected watch, a specific interface or a specific graphical interface for entering a multimedia message 7 related to the specific event experienced by the wearer, after the notification has been propagated. During this step, the specific interface is displayed directly / immediately after the notification has been propagated. In the alternative, the specific interface is displayed when the processing unit of the connected watch has detected that the wearer has received the notification. Such a detection of the notification can be achieved based on an interaction of the wearer with the connected watch in order to confirm the reception of the notification, the reading of the notification and / or the listening of the notification. The processing unit of the connected watch is configured to achieve such a detection by being connected to the interface 9, 10 for broadcasting visual and sound information segments, to the input interface 12 and to the microphone 13.

[0074] In response to the notification 6, the method comprises a step 111 of designing a multimedia message 7 related to the specific event experienced by the wearer. More particularly, this step comprises a sub-step 112 of creating this message 7 from the connected watch 2 by using the specific interface displayed on the interface 9 for broadcasting visual information segments of the connected watch. This message 7 can be for example a voice message recorded by the microphone 13 of the connected watch 2. In this case, the specific interface comprises information to help the wearer when he records the message. Indeed, the specific interface can comprise graphical information displayed on the interface 9 to guide the wearer and / or to allow him to control the recording during the recording of the message.

[0075] Still further, this step 111 comprises a sub-step 113 of completing the multimedia message 7 from the electronic device 3. For example, the message 7 can be completed with:

[0076] - recorded information about the continuous emotional factor;

[0077] - graphical representation associated with the specific event;

[0078] - text description of the specific event;

[0079] - song associated with the specific event;

[0080] - and so on...

[0081] The method comprises a step 114 of sending the multimedia message to a database of the server, the server being configured to archive the message comprising the multimedia message associated with the specific event of the wearer. During this step 114, the processing unit 15 executing the application sends the multimedia message 7 to the control unit 17 of the server 4. This control unit 17 then stores the multimedia message 7 in the database 5 in the data associated with the information 19 about the wearer.

[0082] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to the present disclosure without departing from the spirit or scope thereof. Thus, it is intended that the present disclosure cover modifications and variations of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
