Abstract

Claims (42)

1. A method for providing mood-based content delivery, the method comprising the following operations performed by one or more processors:

determining a present mood of a user;

providing, to the user, digital media content to change a mood of the user from the determined present mood to a destination mood;

providing, on a display, an indication of the determined present mood and the destination mood;

providing, on the display, a mood correction control that enables the user to specify a mood of the user; and

modifying the digital media content in response to the mood specified by the user through the mood correction control, the specified mood being different from the determined present mood.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising analyzing an image of the user to determine the present mood of the user.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein analyzing the image of the user to determine the present mood of the user includes identifying a change in a location of a facial feature of the user, and using the change in location to determine the present mood of the user.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the facial feature includes a brow, a wrinkle, a dimple, a hairline, an ear, a nose, a mouth, or a chin.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising analyzing a mood rating of the digital media content provided to the user to determine the present mood of the user.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

presenting an image of the user on the display in response to the mood specified by the user; and

receiving, in response to presenting the image, a selection from the user corresponding to one or more facial structure features that are associated with the specified mood of the user.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying, on the display, an advertisement associated with the destination mood.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that are executable by at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to execute a method, the method comprising:

determining a present mood of a user;

providing, to the user, digital media content to change a mood of the user from the determined present mood to a destination mood;

providing, on a display, an indication of the determined present mood and the destination mood;

providing, on the display, a mood correction control that enables the user to specify a mood of the user; and

modifying the digital media content in response to the mood specified by the user through the mood correction control, the specified mood being different from the determined present mood.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises analyzing an image of the user to determine the present mood of the user.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein analyzing the image of the user to determine the present mood of the user includes identifying a change in a location of a facial feature of the user, and using the change in location to determine the present mood of the user.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the facial feature includes a brow, a wrinkle, a dimple, a hairline, an ear, a nose, a mouth, or a chin.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises analyzing a mood rating of the digital media content provided to the user to determine the present mood of the user.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises:

presenting an image of the user on the display in response to the mood specified by the user; and

receiving, in response to presenting the image, a selection from the user corresponding to one or more facial structure features that are associated with the specified mood of the user.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises displaying, on the display, an advertisement associated with the destination mood.

15. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory device that stores instructions,

wherein the at least one processor executes the instructions to:

determine a present mood of a user;

provide, to the user, digital media content to change a mood of the user from the determined present mood to a destination mood;

provide, on a display, an indication of the determined present mood and the destination mood;

provide, on the display, a mood correction control that enables the user to specify a mood of the user; and

modify the digital media content in response to the mood specified by the user through the mood correction control, the specified mood being different from the determined present mood.

16. The electronic apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the at least one processor further executes the instructions to analyze an image of the user to determine the present mood of the user.

17. The electronic apparatus of claim 16 , wherein analyzing the image of the user to determine the present mood of the user includes identifying a change in a location of a facial feature of the user, and using the change in location to determine the present mood of the user.

18. The electronic apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the facial feature includes a brow, a wrinkle, a dimple, a hairline, an ear, a nose, a mouth, or a chin.

19. The electronic apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the at least one processor further executes the instructions to analyze a mood rating of the digital media content provided to the user to determine the present mood of the user.

20. The electronic apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the at least one processor further executes the instructions to display, on the display, an advertisement associated with the destination mood.
