[Diagram 2] 4 is a flowchart relating to a method for archiving a particular event according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Referring now to the figures, a system 1 and method for archiving specific events in the life of a wearer of a smartwatch 2 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail.

[0017] In brief, the present system 1 and method allows the wearer to keep a memory of a particular event in his / her life. The particular event is identified from the detection of the wearer's emotional changes. Furthermore, the present system 1 and method allows the wearer to pick / select the particular events in his / her life that he / she decides to record. This is as opposed to the systems and methods known in the art that automatically record all detected events in the wearer's life without distinction. In other words, in the present invention, the detected events are recorded with the consent of the smartwatch wearer.

[0018] A particular event can be defined as a fact that has a significant impact in the wearer's life. For example, a young woman finding out she is pregnant is a good example of a particular event.

[0019] 1, the system 1 comprises a smartwatch 2, an electronic device 3 and a server 4 including a database 5. The system 1 also comprises a wireless or wired network architecture connecting the electronic device 3, the smartwatch 2 and the server 4.

[0020] In the present system 1, the smartwatch 2 comprises a main body, such as a watch case, and an attachment element, such as a bracelet, by which the main body can be fixed to the wearer's arm. More specifically, the present smartwatch 2 comprises, in a non-limiting and / or non-exhaustive manner, the following: a processing unit 8 (also called "controller") including hardware and software resources, in particular at least one processor cooperating with a storage element; - an interface 9, such as a digital display for delivering visual information; an interface 10, such as a loudspeaker, for delivering audio information; a wireless communication interface 11 (e.g. mobile phone, WLAN Bluetooth, etc.); an input interface 12, for example a touch interface included in the interface for delivering visual information; - Microphone 13; - A biometric sensor 14 for measuring biometric information of the wearer.

[0021] In this smartwatch 2, the processing unit is connected inter alia to interfaces 9, 10 for delivering visual and audio information, to an input interface 12, to a microphone 13, to a wireless communication interface 11 and to a biometric sensor 14. According to an embodiment, the biometric sensor 14 can be arranged in the back cover and / or in the mounting element of the smartwatch 2.

[0022] As already specified, the biometric sensor 14 measures the wearer's biometric information. The biometric information mainly relates to various emotional factors linked to the wearer's behavior and physiological characteristics. In this respect, the biometric information comprises a number of categories of emotional factors, which are listed below in a non-limiting and non-exhaustive manner. For example, the biometric information comprises respiration, sweat rate, heart rate, respiration, blinking, eye movement, gaze duration, pupil diameter, blood pressure, brainwaves, body movement, posture, skin temperature, galvanic skin response (GSR), microvibration (MV), electromyogram (EMG), and blood oxygen saturation (SPO2). These categories of emotional factors may be measured by electrocardiogram measurement units, EMG measurement units, head voltage measurement units, infrared image intensity analysis, pressure sensors, temperature sensors, or sweat sensors. The biometric sensor 14 may be configured to be supported by the wearer in a location such that the emotional factors, for example the wearer's heart rate, can be detected. Alternatively, the biosensor 14 may be configured to be worn by the wearer in a position that contacts the wearer's skin and allows a parameter such as resistance to be measured.

[0023] In this system 1, a server 4 (such as a remote server) includes a database 5 that can include a number of data relating to information of a number of wearers, and for each data, at least one multimedia message 7 relating to a particular event of the wearer.

[0024] The server 4 also comprises a control unit 17 (also called "controller") and a communication unit 18. In the server 4, the control unit 17 comprises hardware and software resources, in particular memory elements cooperating with at least one processor. The control unit 17 is capable of executing instructions for implementing a computer program. For example, the computer program is configured to manage the database 5 of the server 4 and to process queries / instructions / data arriving from and sent to the electronic device 3, in particular the processing device 15 of the electronic device 3.

[0025] Furthermore, the electronic device 3 of the system 1 may also consist of, for example, a computer, a smartphone or a tablet. Such electronic device 3 may be mobile and / or portable and / or compact. The electronic device 3 includes, in a non-limiting and / or non-exhaustive manner: a processing device 15 (also called "controller") including hardware and software resources, in particular at least one processor cooperating with a storage element; a display module, such as a screen for displaying a visual representation of information data; - an interface for transmitting audio information, such as a loudspeaker; a communication interface 16 enabling the electronic device 3 to establish a communication connection with the server 4 or with the smartwatch 2; a selection interface, such as a keyboard or even a touch-sensitive interface; at least one audio stream capture module comprising at least one microphone; a module for acquiring at least one image, said module comprising at least one image sensor;

[0026] In this electronic device 3, the processing unit 15 is connected, among other things, to a sending interface, a communication interface 16, an acquisition module and a selection interface. The communication interface of this electronic device 3 comprises communication elements for remotely receiving and transmitting data. The remote communication of data is carried out via an IP type data network over a mobile phone network, a telephone network or a medium range network such as WI-FI or a short range network implementing Bluetooth technology.

[0027] Furthermore, the electronic device 3 is connected to a processing unit 15, inter alia, a display module, a transmission interface, a communication interface and a selection interface. The processing unit 15 is in particular capable of carrying out instructions for implementing a computer program. The computer program may, for example, - configured to process queries / instructions / data received by the server 4, in particular the control unit 17 of the server 4, and queries / instructions / data sent by the control unit 17 of the server 4; and / or - configured to process queries / commands / data received by the processing unit 8 of the smartwatch 2 and queries / commands / data sent from the processing unit 8 of the smartwatch 2.

[0028] Furthermore, the processing unit 15 of the electronic device 3 is capable of executing computer programs, also referred to as applications or apps. More specifically, in the present context, an application is an "application of a particular event". When the processing unit 15 executes the application, the application may be responsible for implementing some of the steps in the methods described below.

[0029] The system 1 may implement a method for archiving certain events in the life of the wearer of the smartwatch 2, as shown in FIG.

[0030] Such a method starts with step 100 of connecting the smartwatch 2 to the electronic device 3. In this step 100, the processing unit 8 of the smartwatch 2 and the processing unit 15 of the electronic device 3 are connected to each other by means of the communication interfaces 11, 16, for example using the Bluetooth™ protocol.

[0031] Once this connection is established, the application for the particular event becomes active on the electronic device 3 and can exchange data with the processing unit 8 of the smartwatch 2. In other words, the application becomes active as soon as the processing unit 15 of the electronic device 3 detects that a connection has been established between the smartwatch 2 and this electronic device 3.

[0032] Next, the method includes a step 101 of tracking at least one category of emotional factors of the wearer. It should be understood that during the implementation of this step 101, multiple categories can also be tracked simultaneously.

[0033] As will be seen below, this step 101 is implemented by the processing unit 15 of the electronic device 3 running the application and also by the processing unit 8 of the smartwatch 2 connected to the biometric sensor 14 .

[0034] In this respect, the tracking step 101 comprises a sub-step 102 of receiving measurement data of emotional factors from the biometric sensor 14. The measurement data may in particular be received by the processing device 8 of the smartwatch 2 and then transmitted in a transmission sub-step 103 to the processing device 15 of the electronic device 3 running the application.

[0035] In this respect, the application executed by the processing device 15 is adapted to be involved in detecting, from the received measurement data, certain events in the wearer's life. To that end, the tracking step 101 comprises a sub-step 104 for detecting changes in the measurement data of the emotional factors. This sub-step 104 comprises a stage 105 for monitoring the received measurement data. In this stage 105, each emotional factor measurement contained in the measurement data is compared with a reference measurement of this emotional factor. This reference measurement may be considered as a threshold value. Furthermore, this sub-step 104 comprises a stage 106 for generating a detection message if, in a predefined period of time, successive measurements of this emotional factor provided by the measurement data exceed the reference measurement of this emotional factor. In this respect, if the category of the emotional factor is heart rate, the detection message is generated based on whether the wearer's heart rate rises by a value exceeding the reference measurement of this emotional factor in a predefined period of time or to a value exceeding the reference measurement.

[0036] Furthermore, this sub-step 104 includes a stage 107 of recording information on the successive emotional factor measurements. If the emotional factor category is heart rate, this information may relate to the wearer's heart rate at the time.

[0037] The method then comprises a step 108 of spreading a detection notification 6 of a particular event to the wearer by the smartwatch 2, when a change occurs in at least one category of the tracked emotional factors of the wearer. Such a step 108 comprises a sub-step 109 of receiving a detection message from the electronic device 3, more particularly from the processing device 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 may be a vibration of the watch case of the smartwatch 2 and / or a graphical notification 6 displayed on the digital display 9 of the watch 2, in particular full screen, and / or a sound emitted from the loudspeaker 10 of the watch 2.

[0038] The method then comprises a step of displaying a specific interface or a specific graphic interface on the interface 9 of the smartwatch for delivering visual information, for inputting a multimedia message 7 related to a specific event experienced by the wearer after the notification has been spread. During this step, the specific interface is displayed immediately after the notification has been spread. Alternatively, the specific interface is displayed when the processing device of the smartwatch detects that the wearer has received the notification. The detection of the notification can be realized based on the interaction of the wearer with the smartwatch to recognize the receipt, reading or / and listening of the notification. The processing device of the smartwatch is configured to implement such detection by connecting the interfaces 9, 10 for delivering visual and audio information to the input interface 12 and the microphone 13.

[0039] Corresponding to this notification 6, the method comprises a step 111 of designing a multimedia message 7 related to the particular event experienced by the wearer. More specifically, this step comprises a sub-step 112 of creating this message 7 from the smartwatch 2, using a specific interface displayed on the interface 9 for delivering visual information of the smartwatch. This message 7 may for example be a voice message recorded by the microphone 13 of the smartwatch 2. In this respect, this specific interface comprises information that assists the wearer when he is recording this message. Indeed, this specific interface may include graphic information displayed on the interface 9 to guide him while he is recording this message and / or to allow him to control the recording.

[0040] Furthermore, the method 111 includes a sub-step 113 of completing the multimedia message 7 from the electronic device 3. For example, the message 7 may be completed using the following information: - recorded information on sequential emotional factors, - Graphical display related to a particular event, - a text description of a particular event, -Songs related to a particular event, -others.

[0041] The method comprises a step 114 of sending the multimedia message to a database of a server configured to archive messages including multimedia messages related to a particular event of the wearer. During this step 114, the processing device 15 executes an application and sends the multimedia message 7 to a control unit 17 of the server 4. This control unit 17 then stores this multimedia message 7 in the database 5 in data related to information 19 about the wearer.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made in the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Accordingly, the present disclosure is intended to cover modifications and variations of the embodiments of the present disclosure. [Explanation of symbols]
