METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING PURCHASING OPPORTUNITIES BASED ON LOCATION-SPECIFIC BIOMETRIC DATA
Methods and systems are disclosed for a media guidance application that performs one or more media guidance application operations based on the biometric state of a user. For example, the media guidance application can present customize media content and/or perform customize media guidance application operations that are targeted to a user based on both the current biometric state of the user and the current location of the user.
1 . A method for recommending purchasing opportunities, the method comprising:
determining a biometric state of a first user;
determining a location of the first user;
cross-referencing the biometric state and the location with a database listing biometric states of users at the location to determine a second user that had the biometric state of the first user at the location;
retrieving a purchase history for the second user to determine a purchase of the second user at the location; and
recommending a first purchasing opportunity for the first user based on the purchase of the second user at the location.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining that the first user is unlikely to accept the purchasing opportunity based on a purchase history of the first user; and
in response to determining that the first user is unlikely to accept the purchasing opportunity based on a purchase history of the first user, recommending a different purchasing opportunity.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising recommending a second purchasing opportunity for the first user based on a purchase of a third user at the location.
4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising ranking the first purchasing opportunity and the second purchasing opportunity based on a likelihood that the user will accept the first purchasing opportunity or the second purchasing opportunity.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining whether to offer the user a discount for the first purchasing opportunity based on whether the biometric state of the user indicates the user is more or less likely to accept the purchasing opportunity.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the database lists users associated with the first user by a demographic, familial, or social network relationship.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein recommending the first purchasing opportunity for the first user based on the purchase of the second user at the location, further comprises:
determining a user device associated with the first user that is at the location; and
generating for display an advertisement on the user device.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the location of the first user, further comprises:
determining a user device associated with the first user; and
receiving data from the user device indicating that the first user is at the location.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the location is associated with a set of geographic coordinates, a property type, or a store brand.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the biometric state of the first user is determined based on data received from a wearable electronic device.
11 . A system for recommending purchasing opportunities, the system comprising:
storage circuitry configured to store a database listing biometric states of users; and
control circuitry configured to:
determine a biometric state of a first user;
determine a location of the first user;
cross-reference the biometric state and the location with a database listing biometric states of users at the location to determine a second user that had the biometric state of the first user at the location;
retrieve a purchase history for the second user to determine a purchase of the second user at the location; and
recommend a first purchasing opportunity for the first user based on the purchase of the second user at the location.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
determine that the first user is unlikely to accept the purchasing opportunity based on a purchase history of the first user; and
in response to determining that the first user is unlikely to accept the purchasing opportunity based on a purchase history of the first user, recommend a different purchasing opportunity.
13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to recommend a second purchasing opportunity for the first user based on a purchase of a third user at the location.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to rank the first purchasing opportunity and the second purchasing opportunity based on a likelihood that the user will accept the first purchasing opportunity or the second purchasing opportunity.
15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to determine whether to offer the user a discount for the first purchasing opportunity based on whether the biometric state of the user indicates the user is more or less likely to accept the purchasing opportunity.
16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the database lists users associated with the first user by a demographic, familial, or social network relationship.
17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to recommend the first purchasing opportunity for the first user based on the purchase of the second user at the location, is further configured to:
determine a user device associated with the first user that is at the location; and
generate for display an advertisement on the user device.
18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to determine the location of the first user, is further configured to:
determine a user device associated with the first user; and
receive data from the user device indicating that the first user is at the location.
19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the location is associated with a set of geographic coordinates, a property type, or a store brand.
20 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the biometric state of the first user is determined based on data received from a wearable electronic device.
