METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION WITH USERS BASED ON BIOMETRIC DATA
Methods and systems are disclosed herein for establishing communication with users based on biometric data. For example, in response to determining that a user has a particular biometric state, the media guidance application may present an option to contact another user that is associated with that biometric state.
1 . A method for establishing communication with users based on biometric data, the method comprising:
measuring, using control circuitry, biometric data associated with a first user;
determining, using the control circuitry, a biometric state of the user based on the biometric data;
cross-referencing the biometric state of the first user with a database listing a plurality of users associated with different biometric states to identify a second user associated with the first user to establish communication based on the biometric state of the first user; and
generating for display to the first user communication information associated with the second user based on the identification.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising establishing communication with the second user in response to a user input.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically establishing communication with the second user based on the biometric state of the first user.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating for a display a list of a plurality of users associated with the biometric state of the first user.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a communication method for establishing communication with the second user based on an identity of the second user.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a message to be communicated the second user based on the biometric state of the first user.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the biometric data is automatically measured at a predetermined time.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the biometric data is automatically measured upon detecting the first user is at a predetermined location.
9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting a first user device associated with the first user; and
transmitting an instruction to generate for display to the first user communication information associated with the second user to the user device.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein measuring the current biometric state of the first user involves receiving data from device attached to the first user.
11 . A system for establishing communication with users based on biometric data, the system comprising:
storage circuitry configured to a database listing a plurality of users associated with different biometric states; and
control circuitry configured to:
measure biometric data associated with a first user;
determine a biometric state of the user based on the biometric data;
cross-reference the biometric state of the first user with the database listing a plurality of users associated with different biometric states to identify a second user associated with the first user to establish communication based on the biometric state of the first user; and
generate for display to the first user communication information associated with the second user based on the identification.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to establish communication with the second user in response to a user input.
13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to automatically establishing communication with the second user based on the biometric state of the first user.
14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to generate for a display a list of a plurality of users associated with the biometric state of the first user.
15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to determine a communication method for establishing communication with the second user based on an identity of the second user.
16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to determine a message to be communicated the second user based on the biometric state of the first user.
17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the biometric data is automatically measured at a predetermined time.
18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the biometric data is automatically measured upon detecting the first user is at a predetermined location.
19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
detect a first user device associated with the first user; and
transmit an instruction to generate for display to the first user communication information associated with the second user to the user device.
20 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to measure the current biometric state of the first user is further configured to receive data from device attached to the first user.
