Abstract

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.

Claims (35)

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.

21 - 50 . (canceled)
