METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR RECALIBRATING A USER DEVICE BASED ON THE AGE OF A USER
Methods and systems are described herein for a media guidance application that enhances the precision of various types of user input interfaces. For example, the media guidance application may recalibrate a user input interface such that the user inputs are correctly received and executed. Furthermore, to further enhance precision, the media guidance application may base the recalibrations on the age of a user. For example, in response to failing to recognize a user input, the media guidance application may perform a recalibration based on the age of the user in an attempt to recognize the user input.
1 . A method of customizing user controls, the method comprising:
receiving an input;
determining whether the input corresponds to a first user profile for a user;
in response to determining that the input does not correspond to the first user profile, recalibrating the first user profile based on an age of the user;
determining whether the input corresponds to the recalibrated first user profile; and
in response to determining that the input corresponds to the recalibrated first user profile, accepting the input.
2 . The method of claim 1 further comprising, in response to determining that the input does not correspond to the recalibrated first user profile, not accepting the input.
3 . The method of claim 1 further comprising, in response to determining that the input does not correspond to the recalibrated first user profile, creating a second user profile for a current user.
4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising requesting an identify of the current user.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the input is a voice control input.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the recalibration compensates for a potential change to a voice of the user due to the age of the user.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the input is a motion control input.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the recalibration compensates for a potential change in coordination of the user due to the age of the user.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the input is based on brain activity of the user.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the recalibration compensates for a potential change to in the brain activity of the user due to the age of the user.
11 . A system of customizing user controls, the system comprising:
storage circuitry configured to store a first user profile; and
control circuitry configured to:
receive an input;
determine whether the input corresponds to the first user profile for a user;
in response to determining that the input does not correspond to the first user profile, recalibrate the first user profile based on an age of the user;
determine whether the input corresponds to the recalibrated first user profile; and
in response to determining that the input corresponds to the recalibrated first user profile, accept the input.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to not accept the input in response to determining that the input does not correspond to the recalibrated first user profile.
13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to create a second user profile for a current user in response to determining that the input does not correspond to the recalibrated first user profile.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to request an identify of the current user.
15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the input is a voice control input.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the recalibration compensates for a potential change to a voice of the user due to the age of the user.
17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the input is a motion control input.
18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the recalibration compensates for a potential change in coordination of the user due to the age of the user.
19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the input is based on brain activity of the user.
20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the recalibration compensates for a potential change to in the brain activity of the user due to the age of the user.
